Suppose, just like today's JD, the world will soon turn the pages on its final chapter. In this second of today's JD's, we'll explore, as an homage to a dying JD, the end of the world. First Let's examine how this end will come:
Now, to face this end, suppose you can only have one tool to start--like the begging of Red Dawn, you're forced into nature with little preparation. What would be the One Thing you would bring with you to this End of the World Party?

League pass broadband

It sounds like the league has finally learned people would prefer to watch their favorite teams, and the whole 40 games per week thing does not work?
I’d much rather take the discount and only watch the games for 7 teams. That does mean I can see any games those 7 teams are in though, correct? (I might watch a grand total of 2-5 non-blazer games, but I think those contests would likely be on national TV. (Things like cavs-lakers)
Will playoff games be on NBAtv, or will they all be removed for being on national tv of various quality? (Either on TNT, ESPN, or NBAtv.) Are NBAtv games still blacked out? Anyone watching with broadband who has a good system for this—that does not also have cable tv) My internet gives me free espn360, but it seems TNT and NBAtv games require staying up late to watch on grainy feeds, for which I am very grateful.
Since the NBA just sent out the e-mail about leaguepass, this seemed like a good time to start the conversation.
Answering my own questions for a few
Playoff games are all blacked out. cable games are blacked out, including trash channels like nbatv.
New question
Does Octoshape (their addin) contain any spyware?
I went with the slow hearse to point to one of my other favorite poets—Baudelaire.

Secondly, the Blazers are everything the Suns are not. They are young, they boast one of the top-ranked defenses in the league.

I used to hate it...then I learned you just have to use it for what you want.
Which, for me, is to use TweetDeck on iPhone and have groups set up. One of everyone I like to follow, one of Blazer news only, and one of Bedgers only.
Also, TwitterFox (or Echofon as it’s now called) for Firefox is cool. Built right into Firefox so you don’t have to have another app running on your computer.

Checking TweetDeck while walking from school to the car is a good way to make that 5 minute walk seem quicker.

I think tonight/tomorrow's JD should be who will save us from the end of the world
Using whatever wins the pull as the premise to the JD.
The ESPN Mag preview is pretty junky. Insider only, but I'll copy a bit
4. Portland Trail Blazers
BIOLOGY — B
The most depth in the league is undermined by the fact that two pieces of the long-term nucleus — Brandon Roy and Greg Oden — already have thick medical folders.
CHEMISTRY — B-plus
The second unit will be more productive behind PG Andre Miller. But if the vet wants to be part of the crunch-time crew, he needs to get right with Roy’s handling the ball. If he can’t, Steve Blake will start and finish — and the Blazers will be easy prey to teams that can lock up Roy with a single defender.
ECONOMICS — B-minus
They paid handsomely to get Miller, so if he’s only coming off the bench and not playing at crunch time, it’s money badly spent.
HISTORY — C
What you see is what you get: GM Kevin Pritchard has made one meaningless in-season trade since he took over in 2007.
MATH — C-plus
Last year, Oden had the league’s eighth-worst minutes-per-foul ratio: 5.5. So basically the guy isn’t likely to be on the floor when you need him.
OVERALL GRADE: B
Also, Ric Bucher is trying to overtake Jalen Rose as the resident expert without a plan. MVP: Rose. MIP: Durant. Champ: Celtics. Sure Ric, sure.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
i wonder where he has Chicago
finishing based on that. You’d have to think he has them in the ECF. Rose would need to carry them there for him to get MVP.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 22, 2009 4:12 PM PDT up reply actions
No, he really named Rose. Chris Broussard, Ric Bucher, Avery Johnson, Tim Legler, Jalen Rose is the panel.
The other experts have LeBron, Kobe, Wade, Howard
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
those 4 are gonna be the viable
candidates for the next few years right? with CP3 and, dare I say it, Roy, as the next tier?
by DrivetheLane on Oct 22, 2009 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions
CP3 is in that upper tier above Roy
But won’t likely win MVP even if he deserves it because his team won’t be great.
that's why i threw the "viable" in there.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 22, 2009 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions
Now that I re-read it
I thought you included CP3 and Roy in the same tier. You’re saying CP3 is in the Lebron/Wade tier, and Roy is below it.
I agree.
not exactly.
what i mean is that for the next few years I think that Lebron, Wade, Kobe, and Howard will be the 4 most viable candidates to win the award. CP3 and Roy will be on the next tier as guys that might deserve it more, but won’t win it for whatever reason (team, media bias, whatever). So I don’t think they are viable candidates to actually win.

That's just an odd choice
It isn’t that Rose isn’t a very good player, but he isn’t a great passer, defender, and is mainly a scoring guard right now. ALL mostly because he is very young and should be a very good player.
But MVP… it’s mean to do that to a good young player. Just silly.
Bucher also has a story in the mag about Rose and chemistry. Not joking, that picture accompanies it.

Voting for the MVP completes at the end of the season
They typically hand out the award during the 2nd round, so Rose leading them deep into the playoffs won’t have an impact on the MVP race.
That said the Bulls will need to win 60 games for Rose to feature prominently in the MVP discussion.
Those might even be unrealistic expectations for Wade/LeBron
MJ is the only person not named Oscar Robertson (who played in statistically fluky era) to ever put up 25/8/8 in a season, and he wasn’t even MVP that season. Magic was with a 22/12/7 season.
the lesson as always:

I have gotten vaccinations against over a dozen things and never had anything more than a numb shoulder for a day
Of course something can always go wrong with medication and personalized medication is a while away. Just horror stories don’t really help the case. You are much more likely to have a miserable life when catching something for which there is medication/vaccination than from that shot itself.

Basically she has to live at elevation 500 feet or below for presumably the rest of her life, otherwise she gets sick again. Crazy, but we’ve all avoided the flu shot ever since.

yeah, anecodatal evidence > scientific evidence is usually not the right way to go about it
but after seeing the results of the “one in a million” live and in person, it’s hard to think “rationally.”
Add in the fact that there seem to be a lot more than “one in a million” flu shot stories, and I decided better to just avoid. That’s just me though. I’m glad everyone else gets it :-)

You should buy expensive medication. People believe more in expensive placebos.
There was a study with painkillers that had no effect, and people who were told the pill cost 10 cents felt better afterwards in 60% of all cases, and people who were told the pill cost $2.50 felt better in 85%.

There also is only anecodatal evidence that it was caused by the flu shot
the link is tenuous at best, much like the alleged immunization-autism link.
My brother is a rep for Sanofi Aventis
but here is something from the National Institute of Health on the subject:
Although the prevalence of autism and similar disorders appears to have increased recently, it is not clear if this is an actual increase or the result of increased recognition and changes in diagnostic criteria.
and
The possibility that measles vaccine may cause autism through a persistent bowel infection has generated much interest, since it provides a possible biological mechanism. Epidemiological studies, however, have not found an association between MMR vaccination and autism. The epidemiological findings are consistent with current understanding of the pathogenesis of autism, which has a strong genetic component and in which the neurological defects probably occur early in embryonic development. It seems unlikely that a vaccination that is given after birth could cause autism. A minority of cases of autism may have onset after 1 year of age (regressive autism), but the single epidemiological study that included such cases did not find an association with MMR vaccination. Currently, the weight of the available epidemiological and related evidence does not support a causal association between MMR vaccine, or any other vaccine or vaccine constituent, and autism.
I heard it explained this way on the radio once. If you have the vast majority of doctors and medical studies on one side saying that there isn’t a link and Jenny McCarthy on the other side saying their is a link who you are going to believe?
Where are the repeatable studies that show a link?
The study that is generally used to support a link hasn’t been repeated, and there are some questions about the data in that study as well.
Also there are questions about whether the rates of autism are actually increasing due to changes in the criteria of diagnosing autism as well.

IMO
any player, with the exception of a dual threat QB is “better off” (in terms of being prepared for the NFL) going to a school with a pro style offense where he can get the majority of the carries. Tennessee would be an example of that, although he has split the carries his freshman year.
Playing in an offense such as Tennessee’s (or Oregon State’s for that matter) means that you have less to learn about the offenses and how to play in them once you get there. And when it comes to roster spots and the like, if you can get an advantage you have over your competitors, you better take that opportunity.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
i don't think
its any harder for a rb, to learn a pro style offense. Its the same holes you are running through its just not out of the shotgun anymore, it’s not any different for lineman, or recievers. Same routes and same blocking schemes(depending on the coordinator ) the only position you are learning new things is the qb position.

but if you get the majority of the carries
your stats look 100x better, which also builds up your “hype machine”
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
he certainly is struggling in that offense
but I think a large part of it is him as well.
every time i have seen him play he just seems so underwhelming (yes, i went there). he makes bad decisions with the football, he’s pretty inaccurate (from what i have seen), etc.
he does look so good when he is running that football though.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
also
he’s probably still going through the growing pains of adjusting to a pro-style offense. In the long run, he will certainly be more prepared to play in the NFL, but for the time being he will struggle.

That's a lame website.
Due to the current economic downturn, the OKC Blazers are regrettably closing their doors effective July 1. Despite attempts to re-organize and streamline the operation, the substantial losses from running the team have led to this business decision.
“We have the most loyal fans of any team, anywhere, and we appreciate the unwavering support they have given the team for many years,” said Bob Funk Sr. “The Blazers organization has maintained its commitment to the fans for nine years. We’ve tried everything to make this model work and explored every available option. If there had been any other choice, we would not have made this decision.”

an Oregon State win this weekend, and then both teams win out (Oregon could lose one more game, presumably to USC) = Civil War showdown for Pac-10 title

hey cloudy here is the synopsis of my fanpost that you asked for
basically I spent three and a half hours writing it, and a bunch of suckers outrecced me with one sentence responses
i
So here we are, the end of the preseason is upon us. One week to go. We've barely managed to make it through the desert of the offseason without losing our collective minds. We've had a whole summer to speculate what's going to happen next. A whole summer to recover from an all too quick exit from the first taste of playoffs this town had seen in quite some time, and recover from the realization that hopes and expectations do not make reality. The team is almost through the preseason, fans can almost taste opening night. We've found ourselves in an all too familiar place though, a place we thought we had left behind. The realization that we are no closer to winning a title now than we were last year. For as many things we thought we could assume about this team, the last few weeks have given us an equal amount of questions. How many games will we win this year? How will new additions fit into a system established before their arrival? Will we make the leap towards contender, or will there be a backslide? Who's gonna start for the team? Who's gonna be on the team?
With six days to go until opening night we've got some answers. But are we seeing the big picture? I think there are deeper things going on over at one center court than we are being led to believe. I have some theories about why we didn't pick up Ime Udoka, and instead went with a late second round draft pick, who just so happens to be injured (and no it doesn't have to do with money). Why this was the same day that Lamarcus Aldridge's contract extension was finalized. And why Coach Nate, Kevin Pritchard and Jason Quick have been so quick to show their outrage and indignance towards the fifteenth decision. Come with me, through the looking glass, and I will let you in on a theory that has been spinning around in my brain since the news came down the pipe! (Warning: Conspiracy Theories inside!)
Star-divide
So I was pretty surprised by the news today that the Blazers decided to not sign Ime Udoka. The popular thinking around here was that he would probably get the nod. It seemed to make sense. He's a local guy, well-liked in the community. He was a bright spot on the team during an uncomfortable transitional period that saw the balance of power in our Rose Garden locker room transfer from those who underachieved on the floor, and over-achieved at mischief, to those who actually seemed to care about the game of basketball. And not just for the play they could get at the nightclub, or how 'Playa' it made them look, or the street cred that they could get back home. No Ime was here when Zach Randolph had his '@$$' handed to him by a young up and coming Brandon Roy. A moment in time I affectionately refer to as "The Moment of Clarity." We all know what happened, Brandon stood up and declared that he was tired of hearing all the blame being passed around by our teams so-called leader, and franchise player, for our teams losing ways. This marked an end of a downward slide that created the greatest backlash towards the team, by the fans, that this city has ever witnessed. And along the way we got to know and love, our native son, Ime.
Ime was a good story from the start. Raised in Northeast Portland to an American mother and Nigerian father, Ime attended Jefferson High School and later went on to play for the Portland State Vikings. In 2002 he was drafted into the NBDL (National Basketball Development League). There he languished for several years, being called up to the NBA several times, then sent back down. In the spring of 2006 he thought he had caught a break, being picked up late season by the New York Knicks. His tenure with that team would be short lived however as they would wave him by september of the following preseason. It seemed as if his dreams of playing in the NBA may never come to pass. But after Aaron Miles failed a physical to enter Trail Blazers training camp, Ime was invited to come try-out. For him it was a dream come true. He would finally get a chance to try out for the team he grew up rooting for, and he would get to come home. Sadly before the season began Ime's father would pass away, never getting the chance to see his son reach his goal to play in the NBA. Ime was picked up by the team after showing good defensive prowess, toughness and an admirable work ethic, things that had been missing at the position of small-forward on our team ever since the signing of he who will not be named (Darius Miles). His story and play on the court quickly made Ime a fan favorite around here. He was a light in a dim room of mediocrity, and it was with much sadness that he left the team as a free agent, after a botched attempt to get more money than he may have been worth in the off-season. With regret we saw Ime join the San Antonio Spurs.
Flash forward two years:
from Blazers Edge Sept 25, 2009
Trail Blazers Sign Ime Udoka
Portland native played 2006-07 season with Trail Blazers
PORTLAND, Ore. - The Trail Blazers have signed forward Ime Udoka, General Manager Kevin Pritchard announced today. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We're really excited about having Ime back," said Pritchard. "He played a key role in our resurgence and we look forward to adding a player of his talent, character and experience to what is shaping up to be a very competitive camp roster."
Udoka (6-5, 220), a five-year NBA veteran, has posted career averages of 6.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 20.4 minutes in 227 games (78 starts) with the L.A. Lakers, New York, Portland and San Antonio.
The 32-year-old saw action in 67 games, including three starts, with San Antonio in 2008-09. He averaged 4.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 15.4 minutes.
As a Trail Blazer in 2006-07, Udoka experienced his best season as a professional, notching career highs of 8.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 28.6 minutes in 75 games (all starts). His .461 field goal percentage and .406 three-point percentage also marked career bests.
A Portland native and Jefferson High School graduate, Udoka played his senior season and graduated from Portland State University in 2000.
Trail Blazers training camp tips off on Tuesday, September 29.
It seemed that there might be another homecoming for Ime. All he had to do was beat out waived former center for the Utah Jazz, Jarron Collins, and late second round draft pick, the injured point guard, Patty Mills. Most people assumed that Ime was a lock. But as we all found out today, October 21st, 2009, this was not the case.
So now we find ourselves asking a lot of questions. Why Patty Mills? Why wouldn't we want someone who can play now, instead of someone who most likely won't play in the NBA this year and maybe not ever? Why didn't the team make the obvious, popular choice and bring back the hometown kid. The answer we got from the coach, the general manager, and the beat reporter is that this decision came down from the top. As in it wasn't the coaches choice. In fact not only was this not Nate McMillan's choice he went on record with Jason Quick that he wasn't happy about this at all. Jason Quick openly questioned the motives of the Vulcan Group on 95.5 the game earlier today. He was audibly angry when talking about the signing of Patty Mills. "This didn't make any sense", he said"From a basketball perspective." He went on," This only makes sense from a financial perspective." A lot of reasons followed as to the motivation for signing an injured, unproven point guard, who many say might not ever have a career in the NBA. John Canzano talked about how "Paul Allen likes point guards." He talked about how Paul Allen would regularly ask Coach Nate before games last year if Sergio Rodriguez was going to play. He seemed to imply that Paul Allen has almost a fetish with point guards. Maybe he likes their speedy play, or their flashy passes, or the fact that the smallest guy on the court can create such havok among these giants. John Canzano talked about how he liked this move from a business perspective. "Why pay a veteran salary for a player who is the last guy on the bench, and not likely to play anyways?" He talked about how Patty Mills could be stashed in the D-league while the team evaluates his potential.
So understandably, people are a little confused. We all wanted this to be a happy ending for Ime. We are concerned that there is a schism occuring in our Blazers orginization. We are nearing the season opener with plenty of questions about chemistry, questions about whether new additions to the team can work with our established talent. Whether players feelings are being hurt, and whether that will prove to be a distraction once the games count towards the win column. And now we have this happening? The ownership is not following the desires of coaching and management. Why would anyone want to destroy the already tenuous hold this team had with cohesiveness? And that's when I got thinking. Maybe Ime was never going to make the team. Maybe there are things happening that have nothing to do with money. Maybe in the long run, this will all be for our benefit. Follow along with me while I build a case.
One thing that I was openly critical about last year in regards to this team was our lack of identity. When I look around the league there are teams, many perrenial contenders, who have there own identity. And what I mean is they are the same team night in night out. They don't adjust their gameplan to other teams, other teams adjust to them. They are defined more by their system's than by their players. Think the San Antonio Spurs, The Los Angeles Lakers, The Utah Jazz, The Dallas Mavericks. Often these teams have a few top players, all-stars, and are filled out by role players. Players who can change from year to year, without disrupting the overall function of the team. This is not how I would describe the Blazers from last year. Last year our team had one established star in Brandon Roy. We had another up and coming star in LaMarcus Aldridge. These are our cornerstone players, the ones we will build a system around, a system that will also probably include a future all-star center, and a playmaking point guard. Unfortunately, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. There are players on the team right now who I don't foresee being here next year. The talent level is unsustainable after the rookie contracts expire, from a financial standpoint, as well as a playing time standpoint. Now a lot of people have talked a lot about this recently so I know it's no surprise.
But how do you trade these people, lose them to free agency or not resign these players without creating a public backlash. Obviously this is important to think about from a public relations standpoint for an orginization that just recently regained the trust of its fanship, and love from the city that has seen them through forty years-with one championship. How do you transition from a team with a lot of lovable individuals, to a team that can consistently win? How do you change from a team that is fostering personal growth, to one with winning expectations, one where finding your stroke is something to be done on somebody elses time? A team where role players can be plugged into the system, where you can plug a known commodity into a known formula, and get a known result?
The answer is not everyone can be friends anymore. Comfort zones are going to be breached. In order to grow, Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge are going to have to learn there roles, and become the stars that they are. There is only room for a few egos on this team. Everyone else will have to sacrifice. While last year we marvelled at the chemistry of this up and coming team, what we failed to notice is for the players last season was more analogous to the final year of high school than the first year of college. So the time to set the tone is right now. I'm not suggesting they blow up the team and alienate everyone. But people are going to leave and everyone is going to have to get used to it.
So you invite a former player at the tail end of his career to come in to training camp to send a message. You bring him in to get people nostalgic, and then you rip it away from them just like ripping off a bandaid. Why? Because after the first time it gets easier. Also I'm not sure I totally believe the byline that accompanied this story today. Nate McMillan openly expressing anger and frustration towards ownership? Kevin Pritchard not toeing the party line? Jason Quick sounding shaken and upset on the radio? It seems staged to me. Staged to create the illusion of seperation between Nate and the Vulcan group. Good cop, Bad cop. What better way to manipulate the lineup of the team without hurting the feelings of your most valuable players and disrupting the chemistry of a team that you have yet to create.
This team is not finished. None of us has seen the vision that Nate has for his own team. When he took over as head coach for Seattle he inherited an established team full of veterans. When he came to us he inherited a pr disaster, a team that would need to be burned and built from the ashes. While the team was being rebuilt, and trust was being re-established among the fanbase it was important for the players to be likable, good-character guys. Guys who the public could trust, and relate to and we would forgive some of their shortcomings on the court because we could always look at them and embrace there likabilty. But this is not a sustainable model. We need talent and we need it now. It's no use having two or three all stars on a team filled with substandard role players or players that are too good for positions that we don't need them to fill. And now that we have seen a good guy get the axe, and we have seen the owner become a pariah for making the unpopular decision, we now have a system for recreating the team.
It was also a very good day today in the eyes of many Blazer fans. Today LaMarcus Aldridge was signed to a contract that we've all been waiting for. Some questions were raised, one very big one was answered. This team is Brandon Roy. This team is LaMarcus Aldridge. It's official. Hopefully this distraction has been put to bed. The hierachy is being established. Soon to join their ranks I believe are Greg Oden and a point guard more in the style of Andre Miller than Steve Blake. It's gonna hurt, people might not like it right away, but in the long run it may be a better formula for winning. There will be growing pains for the players and for the fans, but today a tone was set. A tone that says there are only a couple guaranteed guys on this team. Everybody else is going to have to prove their worth or get out of the way. You can no longer survive on personality alone. Winning>Likability. Sometimes you have to make the unpopular choice to get to the next level.
Why not make it look like Paul Allen is the one pulling the strings? This way Nate and KP can make whatever moves they want and not lose face. It's called "Plausible Deniability". Ultimately this roster spot didn't mean anything. So what better explanation for why so much frustration has been expressed over Ime not being picked. This team is now through it's image rebuilding phase. The players value has changed from players that the fans like, to players who can help us win. Not all of the current roster fits within that second group. There needs to be this separation, so that Nate can explain to the team when Travis or Rudy goes that, "It was out of my hands. I really pushed to keep Rudy, or Travis."(or Blake, or Bayless, etc.). So it will look like he still has the players backs, and along the way it will set a tone for those who remain. Play to the highest level you can and help us win, or ownership won't hesitate to ship you out the next chance they get. It changes the team dynamic from a bunch of young guys palling around together, feeling their way through their youth, to a proffessional atmosphere where getting the job done is paramount.
I'm not real big on conspiracy theories normally, but when it comes to Paul Allen, I just don't think he's always right up front about his motives. Remember when he was talking about selling the Rose Garden? What happened? As soon as a market value had been established, he changed his mind. Why? It turned out that he was more interested in re-negotiating his management contract with those operating the Rose Garden events, and in order to do this he needed an established market value for the arena. And it's not like you can just call an appraiser. This is a guy who is partners with Sir Richard Branson in an endeavour to fly citizens into near outer space. He has built large scale telescopic arrays and has almost singlehandedly taken over the seti program(Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), after congress stopped funding for it. This is not your normal guy. He is a genius, who in all likelihood has surrounded himself with geniuses for the sake of reaching some very ambitious goals. I don't put it past him at all, that Patty Mills or Ime Udoka never had a chance to be on the team. Patty is still easily waived. Ime and Jarron already have jobs it sounds like. This was all announced the same day that LA's deal was announced. To soften the blow perhaps? Could be. Maybe this all sounds like a bunch of craziness, and maybe my point didn't get across to everyone, but I sense change is in the air.
This team doesn't have to worry about all the fans liking the players for being great guys. Rip City is back. The games are selling out, and the only thing left to do is win. Win the whole thing. And win with guys who are just likable enough, to keep fans coming back for more. Maybe after it's all said and done, Paul Allen will have stopped being a regular guy who sits next to regular fans down on the floor. Maybe he'll alienate himself. But when it's all said and done, who do you want more? An owner who we can trust implicitly, or a team that wins? So I say go ahead Mr. Allen, make the hard decisions. Be the bad guy. Just give us a team that wins, and wins it all. If you can do that, then you will be a hero to all of us, and we will forgive what we know you must do....

cloudy's bets of the weekend
Washington +10 — the Huskies are a damn good team at home, plus the Oregon QB situation is a little iffy.
Oregon State +21 — Homer pick, but OSU has won 6 straight road games, and 7 straight after a bye week. This will be a tough game for USC
Georgia Tech 5.5 - Odd line, especially for a team that just beat Virginia Tech last week. But I guess Virginia has won 3 straight, so maybe this will be a tougher game for Ga Tech than it looks?
Auburn +7.5 — Auburn looked great the first month, then has looked bad the past 3 weeks. LSU has looked bad all year.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

the Huskies have been really really good at home this year
barely losing to two top 10 teams and winning the other games. it will be close
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
UW has won against USC, Idaho, and Arizona at home. They’ve lost to LSU at home.

hahah i forgot they beat SC and didnt just play them close
in any case, I still think UDub will give Oregon some trouble on Saturday
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
i think you could be wrong there… the problem is that UO’s strength lines up against UW’s weakness. It all depends on the home crowd, for some reason Locker is a different player at home.
The defense is the problem. I could see us losing by a touchdown though.
Now I will say that the offense is going to score on the Ducks. I think they are a little overrated (read: not pac-10 title contenders after USC game)

duck win by 17
low scoring game like 20-3 or 27-10( not much offense in first half), duck defense shuts down locker(the defense is way too fast), and masoli plays but only ok.

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
what about a package involving one of your bigs (Nene or Murphy)
and a guard?
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Murphy and Kidd were ranked pretty equal last year.
I am definitely open to it more with Murphy, even though he ranked higher than Nene. Want me to make an offer, or do you wanna take the first stab?
Let’s make a deal.
you first.
i have an idea, but i wanna see what your initial offer will be.

yep
depending on what i get back with murphy
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I'd say Murphy's center eligibility makes him worth even more than his 15 rank
And hi 15 ranking is really nice.
VERY underrated rebounder, and obviously over 2 three’s a game at great percentages is nice.
I'm bein' serious there
Nene is risky with his injury history, and has less of a role than Murphy. But I love Nene!
any way i can pry Tyreke from ya/
i can add something on my side as well..

haha maybe

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Hmmmmmmm
I thought about making it Tyreke, and maybe I should because he’ll be up and down, but I’m attached to seeing him through.
Make a counter if you’re dyin’ for him, but I am sorta attached to him right now.
yeah i dont really see a way to get him
I was thinking Sheed instead of Haslem, but I like Sheed because of his blocked shots and 3s, both of which will complement Murphy (blocks will compensate for Murph and 3s will make my team better with the loss of Kidd).
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Yeah, I figured you could afford to lose Haslem more
And it’d help me half-cover my loss of rebounding.
I just noticed you have no other big scorer aside from Roy… Murphy scores a grip more than Kidd as well. I always forget about scoring since it’s a given with fantasy, but you actually have really low scoring right now.
yeah
Murphy and Lou will help. My only concern is I am basically selling out on Assists, because once i lose Kidd i have no other assist guys. Brandon will get me about 5 a night, as will Conley (hopefully). But Lou only averaged 4.6 a night per 36 (although that could change in a fast paced offense). I think I’ll do it cause I need the scoring, but I hate selling out in other categories.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Totally up to you
I was gonna just go into the season and see what happens, but I like this deal for us both.
Memphis is a weird situation, where Conley could get the same assists he was getting after the allstar break, or stay pre-allstar break. He might help fix that.

BUUT
Lou (as a starting PG) >>>>>> Haslem
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
If you don't care for turnovers, that is true
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Between Conley, Biedrins, Barbosa, and to an extent, Brandon
TOs don’t bother me
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
The guy who focuses on winning the TO battle
Is the guy with non-effective players.
I mean, if its Eddy Curry, and he gives ya nuthin, AND automatically makes you lose the TO battle, that’s one thing. But all good players turn the ball over.
For me, with Wade and Tyreke, I could have nights where they get a combined 20 turnovers. I can’t even worry about it.
Murphy has done it like that for years now, son!
I would be surprised if he doesn’t do it like he be doin’ it still.
Plus with their pace, he’ll get a grip o’ boards and 3’s.
We both got what we needed, I hope you’re happy with it. I don’t want regrets!
you can stop convincing me that it's a good deal for me now
lol…
im happy with what i got, no matter what prez said. you probably made your team even tougher than they already were, but I feel like I got a definite upgrade. whatever.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
You totally screwed me over
No, I am being serious though, mainly because Murphy has been on my last 2 championship teams and he is my secret weapon. Losing him… it’s like saying goodbye to the past.
Got him off the WAIVERS two years ago, and then like the 8th round last year. Poor lil’ fellar always underrated.
I’m just glad he’s found a nice home.
He won’t dip in production though.
oh man
you want him back?
hee hee
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
my team is legit
between Sheed, Krstic, Murphy, and Biedrins. That category is an instant win every week!

Murphy is one of the best for fantasy (literally).
Extremely consistent as well.
Udoka disappointed Blazers didn't take him. Talking to Oklahoma City, Denver, Sacramento and Utah.
http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/10/ime_udoka_i_thought_these_time.html
Now you know Quick’s source of grumpiness: Udoka and especially his agent
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Ime Udoka should go to the Utah Jazz.
C: Mehmet Okur
PF: Carlos Boozer
SF: Andrei Kirilenko
SG: Ronnie Brewer
PG: Deron Williams
C: Kosta Koufos/Kyrylo Fesenko
PF: Paul Millsap
SF: Ime Udoka
SG: Kyle Korver
PG: Eric Maynor/Ronnie Price

Y’know, I bet the Jazz could sneak up on Portland and Denver by taking the Northwest Division.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Gasol has hamstring problems, Bynum a strained rotator cuff. Might miss season opener. Go Lamar :)
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Or Delfino
Delfino is prolly good for a 20 team league if he plays… he got steals before if I recall.
Delfino sucks. Having him on your team is more embarrassing than Hedo and Thabest combined.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Haha
Is this a Juwan-type hatred towards Delfino, or real?
He was ah’ight when I’d see him play, he’d make stuff happen! Being ranked 117 in 23 minutes a night, good 3,s decent steals, ain’t bad.
Skiles wants to make him a 3
That can’t go right
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
It prolly won't in real life
But for our fantasy world, his 3’s and steals will be useful if one needs either.
I shouldn’t help everyone!
More useful than having the guy who gets open because of LeBron (A. Parker)?
That’s the only scenario where I would be interested in picking him up. But I have 2 other players I would likely pick up before Delfino if I needed a SG/SF.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I would say Parker should be more useful.
Top 100 player in the past, and will have a ton of open shots.
Delfino won’t change anyone’s team of course, but with the slim picken’s most of us have at the end of our bench (I just picked up Thabeet, for Pete’s sake), someone who does SOMETHING is nice.
Who got drafted by none other than Saboner
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I found two sources that say the Blazers could have had Hinrich for very cheap: Maxey and Jaynes. Quick said something similar, though his trade involved Deng too.
http://www.blazersedge.com/2009/10/22/1096634/what-will-the-blazers-do-next#23225433
Won’t go into details for why they passed, those who should know do. But that likely won’t put more trade ideas like that to rest.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Here's a question
Who would you rather have? Miller for capspace or Hinrichhinrichrichrich for “very cheap” ?
Kobe is my profile pic because of this beatdown I received.
Hinrichhinrichhinrich for his age and more seamless fit into the system and his added defense. "Chemistry" seems to have been a concern with both.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Ugh, anybody who actively vetoed trading for Kirk Hinrich — unless Luol Deng's albatross of ...
a contract was forced to be included in any such deal — shouldn’t just be fired from the Portland Trail Blazers organization, but rather have clarity of mind to admit their idiocy and resign by reason of utter incompetence from whatever position they may hold within the franchise.
A tad bit hyperbolic, perhaps. Yet, I nevertheless stand by it 100%.

Want to hear something gross that I realized
I wash my hands after just about anything I do. I wash after going bathroom, walking dog, petting dog or cat, if I touch anything questionable etc., but I just realized I don’t wash my hands after picking my nose.
better than most.

what’s gross is when you don’t wash your hands after licking your fingers clean after picking your nose.

Just watched part of an interesting documentary on WWII. Didn't know England attacked France.
They feared after capitulation the French navy of the formally neutral south (Vichy) would fall into the hands of the enemy or collaborate. So the Royal Navy attacked a French naval base in Algeria, sinking the destroyer Bretagne and killing over 1000 sailors after they refused to surrender and or sink their own ships.

It makes we wonder
Was the value of human life different back then? Or is it just that new spreads much for freely now. These days, a story like that would probably make front page news for weeks.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
They feared for their own lives, since obviously the British Islands were the next target, and best attacked by air and sea
Obviously things were complicated back then and in doubt a number of countries rather used too much force than too little. But it’s a detail that I never heard about, and I’m sure Great Britain isn’t proud and that some people in France haven’t forgotten.

who was stranded for lack of fuel in the Suez Canal on a US Naval Ship for a couple of months
