Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Friday the 23rd Junk D.



Dave, this is how you post information after the jump

Star-divide

 it's not difficult and should be utilized when posting HUGE posts by non site admin. who write about eastern conference teams LeBron , especially when the HUGE post by non site admin is posted directly ontop of the previous nights game recap( which none of us saw so we 'll undoubtedly want to read about it). I read alot of blazersedge on my phone and hate to scroll through 50 paragraphs about teams we'll play 2 times each this season.

you know I love this site. But seriously, use the jump

 

Thank you

I suppose Bulls fans would write less fanposts and comments if Del Negro decided to start Lindsey Hunter over Rose...

…than Blazers fans have theorized over who and why should start. They would just call the coach stupid and be done with it.

i do read them and saw it.

ultimately we are accountable in different ways than some other sites because i am with the team on a regular basis. for that reason anything i post i prefer if at all possible to do it under my own name.

also i hate editors and don’t want to edit other people’s work. often with the fanshots the description used is not the one i would prefer.

for those reasons i sometimes duplicate the content.

hope that makes sense.

i just wish complaints about the site were made via official, private channels rather than expressed in a forum like this.

Matt on Blogabull makes his editorial comments pretty clear when moving things to the front page. Saves himself some work, and he is strict about keeping things in one place. And isn't he kinda like your boss as the manager of basketball blogs on SBN:)

[From the fanshots. Dr. Del Negro says it’s an unusual ankle injury and it’s possible Rose will miss the opener. Dr. Rose (someone else took his MCAT) says there’s no way he’ll miss the game.

Either way, it’s looking like Rose will be missing nearly the entire preseason, which isn’t a good thing for a team supposedly banking on continuity and camaraderie over talent. -ed.]

i’ve tried that in the past. it’s more work and the end product is more confusing than it needs to be. realize that a huge portion of our readers are not active commenters and simply want quick, easy, access to content. we are balancing a number of needs and generally the best solution in that case is the simplest.

again, this should be handled case by case depending on a site’s structure and its needs. to my knowledge matt does not cover the team in person.

The only issue I had with it was that it

kinda haulted the conversation going on it the fanshot. After Ben.’s comment here I sent Ben an email suggesting that maybe he put up a post with his own words, and then link to the fanshot or something like that.

Really nit-picky I know, and I didn’t intend for it to go this far. Admittedly, I should have emailed it to Ben, instead of posting it in here. I don’t know, maybe I am not thinking of all the different nuances.

You can take an existing Fanshot, and also have it appear on the main page (like a link or alias). Then existing discussion can continue, and people aren’t commenting in two different places on the same topic. You can also edit a remark that you promoted it to the front page, etc. The Fanshot will still be in the Fanshots, but also on the main page.

Ben said he doesn’t want to do that because that might mix up editorial statements with fan content that he isn’t responsible for. Other editors that are also respected writers like Matt of Blogabull or Ziller of Sactown Royalty/FanHouse/FreeDarko or the guys at Third Quarter Collapse who are also attending team functions do it. Different approaches with different benefits.

by Norsktroll on Oct 23, 2009 12:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I get how that part works

I agree with Ben, since he has such special rare access, that keeping his name separated from fan-produced content to avoid confusion by team officials is important.

Ben likely has to defend himself for his own work, having to do it for other’s wouldn’t be fun. Maybe nothing has happened like that yet, but it will eventually.

I get why the other guys do it more, but yeah… different situations, different approaches.

had someone not emailed about this post and the issue above, i probably wouldn’t have been here. that’s often the case during the day, when the majority of the traffic is online. so the complaints raised could have 200 people in favor of them, but we might not realize that. a heads up is a good thing.

KP hit the jackpot in that very weak draft. Unbelievable that you could find your franchise foundation in that one.

The only other major stars are Rondo, second round pick Millsap, and to some extent Bargnani, Thomas, Gay, and maybe Foye and Powe. The rest is forgettable (sorry Sergio and Joel Freeland, but you’re not a franchise cornerstone).

big time pet peeves of mine

A) When you are watching TV/playing video games and people WALK RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TV

B) At the grocery store, people who either 1) stop and chat or 2) check their list and hold up a whole line of shopping carts behind them and create a traffic jam in an aisle

C) people who stop and talk RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK and block pedestrian traffic

all 3 of those annoy me so much

I guess I have a different opinion. To me, the childish antics (and huge insecurities) emanated from his younger team mate.

That said, the tour in 2010 should be freaking awesome. Contador was declared a free agent by the UCI today…and if he signs with either Caisse or the argyle lads of Garmin…..either will be one freaking powerhouse of a team.

Two huge egos, one spot on the top of the podium. Fireworks for sure!

by antediluvian on Oct 23, 2009 5:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

that is not true at all

Armstrong instigated every thing

putting his riders into the work when there was a split on a windy day (totally unnecessary after he had already been soundly beat by contador in the opening TT, and a waste of energy for valuable workers such as Popoyvych)

Contador rode to protect Armstrong in one of the late mountain stages on a headwind climb. The roles should have been reversed here to protect, who at this point should have been the undisputed leader, Contador, as he had shown his superiority in both ITTs and climbs.

Some will point out that Contador broke tactics on when he dropped Armstrong on an early mountain stage, but that was total posturing by Armstrong PR machine. Countering a move by a dangerous rival like Schleck is called bike racing, not breaking tactics.

I’ll leave it with this, whenever Armstrong had a teammate who challenged him he was gone from Postal/Discovery. It was extremely hypocritical for Armstrong to challenge someone who should have been the undisputed leader of Astana.

In the US the story line has been that Contador stood in the way of Armstrong’s 8th victory, but the truth of it is that Armstrong wouldnt have even finished on the podium without Contador’s protection in the final days.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

by jonestr on Oct 23, 2009 6:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh come on....

Saying Armstrong did anything wrong regarding the windy split was ridiculous….

Listening to Paul and Phil it was EXTREMELY clear that a split was likely to happen. Contador SHOULD have been up front. It’s not up to someone else to tell him that. Lance did not cause that split in any way, shape or form. He simply benefited from knowing what was likely to happen.

And it what way should Contador have been the undisputed leader? He’d won 3 grand tours….the other guy had won 7.

I don’t think Contador broke ranks when he dropped Armstrong….it was the smart thing to do.

But Contador has an issue with quality teammates. When he won the tour in 2007, he had big issues with Levi coming in 3rd. He was pissed the Levi won the final time trial and didn’t just ride a relaxed pace.

I have no problem with people who don’t like Armstrong…..big Tex has a big ego….all champs do. But let’s not play the victim card for Contador. He is anything but. He has benefited TREMENDOUSLY from the knowledge that Bruyneel gained and passed on from the Armstrong years. And IMHO he’s HUGELY insecure.

I STILL think next year will be a wildly entertaining tour.

But non-Portland fans have a very high opinion of Nate, and so do pretty much all reporters.

Much of it is based off of the myth that he is a guy who coaches great defenses, but the general feeling about Nate is super-duper-positive as far as I’ve seen.

Bayless/Outlaw

Along with the issues about how to handle Batum/Webster and how does Miller respond to coming off the bench, it isn’t sooo far fetched to think that Nate is coming to a point where he can’t reach the players as easily as he used to.

If this happens, it woudn’t be the first time that it has happened to a fine coach, nor will it be the last.

by tingeyga on Oct 23, 2009 2:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Trout won't go against Roy

And Quick had good stuff about Batum and Nate’s relationship, and how much they like each other in past “Behind the Green Door” locker room features.

If Batum plays 15 minutes it could get icy, but he’s still just a French kid.

No one with any real pull on the team will cause any problems.

And that's the thing

You can’t expect EVERYONE to be happy.

You do want your core and most important players to be happy.

I do not see Roy, LMA, Oden, Joel, Blake, Batum, Rudy being unhappy, with Rudy having the highest chance since he wants to be more of a star.

Is this Timbo or Mortimer?

I can see it both ways, the Simmons viewpoint where the Blazers don’t make the next step because there is some issues between the players and coaches that have arisen due to the team having success and the Mor-timbo-mer view that because the Roy/LMA/Oden core is on board with Nate that everything else is noise.

Yeah, he played a Roy-ish role on the national team, getting the ball in isolations in crunch time and taking his man off the dribble when driving. Not nearly at that efficiency, but he has the handles and game instincts to be more than a catch-and-shoot player and he knows that very well. He won’t demand Roy’s touches, but I could very well see him ask for a role like Bell or Diaw played for the Suns back in the day.

Actually, no.

It first aired on Swedish Television in 1997 as Expedition: Robinson. It was, however, produced by a British chap, Charlie Parsons.

It moved to the US in 2000 (produced by Mark Burnett, who had previously produced the Eco Challenge race series and TV shows), became a huge hit, and moved to the UK in 2001.

I haven't had the same luck in my league.

I just traded Igoudala, Camby and Salmons for B.Roy and Amare Stoudemire.

I am the law!

by LaColin on Oct 23, 2009 1:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

The way I see it;

Neither Camby nor Salmons will be able to repeat their numbers from last year (Camby is old and always hurt and Salmons is on a new team with established players at his position), while Amare is returning from injury and should return to form with the returning uptempo offense.

Igoudala should be better though, with Andre Miller gone.

I am the law!

by LaColin on Oct 23, 2009 1:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree

Salmons spent the first 2/3rds being the best player on a bad team and Kevin Martin was hurt most of the year, so it was Salmons or nuthin’ for the Kings. And then he joined a Bulls team with Deng being hurt.

I think he’ll still be good, but not as good as last season. Good time to sell high.

Camby gets hurt so often, and may see his numbers get cut into because of Blake, OR because of age. Sold high there too.

Amare will at least put up a ton of numbers, and Roy will be Roy. Iggy is the price ya paid to get Amare AND Roy. I think it could be good… as long as you aren’t hurting for steals.

I don’t really get making deals at this point before any trades are made. You are getting the best player in the deal, which is always nice, and you are solid at C. Cloudy is taking a gamble that Lou Will breaks out, which is possible. I guess I give the Mort a slight edge.

That fear is what makes him such a deadly 3 point shooter

He didn’t even know he could make the shot before last season, but he was passed the ball at the top of the key and he SQUEALED and went EEKS and throw the ball away… making the 3 point shot.

im tempted to take a chance on Taj Gibson

he’s averaging a double double in the preseason for Chicago. Rumor was Vinny was considering starting Gibson instead of Thomas because Thomas and noah don’t play well together or something.

I doubt he starts but if he gets minutes i imagine he will get boards and blocks just like he did at USC

and that’s what’s gonna happen too. I see him getting 25 to 28 and Blake the rest. Not as drastic as what was happening to Batum last season, but similar plan.

and even the Nuggets also at 44

I honestly laughed aloud when I saw Portland at 41-41. That was after thinking that I misread the top 8 3 times and just could find where he put the Blazers….then I scrolled down.

by Magnum on Oct 23, 2009 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's nothing but a popularity contest with him.

As a Celtic fan, he can’t put the LA on top, and I’m sure he has a whole host of other personal reasons to rank the teams like he did. For example, “Kevin Durant likes the same movies that I do, and he offered to watch Gossip Girl with me, so I can’t rank OKC below PDX.” or “Jason Kidd made eye contact with me once, so Dallas is better than Denver.”

What stands out to me is that he put Portland as dead last among all WC teams that are .500 or above. Which means absolutely nothing except that Portland is his least favorite contender out west.

Its was posted higher up, but I don't mind addressing it again

I, for one, don’t think that it is that much of a stretch to give the Blazers that title. They really are the only team in the league that fits that description. How many teams do people think will take another leap? Oklahoma? Winning 30 games will be a leap for them and you can’t go too far backwards from 23 wins.

I am not saying it is even likely, but the Blazers seem to have many of the same components that teams that have turned on their coaches before have had.

That said the 41-41 prediction is just plain foolish.

well yeah, if we're the only team that potentially fits that description

Although the 3rd pick is almost worth that much, I should check the trade machine on that.

Don't remember

They sucked and San Diego wasn’t a three sports franchise city. The Padres and the Chargers were always embraced more; the Clippers seemed less popular than the San Diego Soccers and the Gulls.

But the Clippers went to LA Sports Arena, which sucks, so I know it wasn’t one of those build it or we will leave scenarios.

SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. The Law of Exclamation
First recorded in an article by Lori Robertson at FactCheck.org in 2008, this states: “The more exclamation points used in an email (or other posting), the more likely it is a complete lie. This is also true for excessive capital letters.”

It is reminiscent of the claim in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels that the more exclamation marks someone uses in writing, the more likely they are to be mentally unbalanced.

According to Pratchett, five exclamation marks is an indicator of “someone who wears their underwear on the outside”.

I didn’t know the rules and just drafted chuckers

you’ll do better in the ESPN league.

I really hope the games start streaming on Blazers.com soon.

If I had to term the present situation, it would have to be a series of unfortunate events.

keep in mind Antawn is hurt, suffering from an injury that is pretty volatile for a basketball player.

I know!

And OJ is on the team most likely to implode… and the only other elite guy he has is Al Jefferson… wow!!!!! How can one guy get so unlucky?

by galacticlove on Oct 23, 2009 10:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

he was there for the draft

it’s not luck or “un-luck”

it’s really really hard for the first draft though. I was lost trying to figure it out.

hahaha true, we should cut him some slack

this was my 2nd FBB team ever, and the first one I did was Rotisserie, so H2H is new to me.

I just spent the week before the draft studying and all that jazz for it, and I think I came out OK

Daequan Cook

Would you consider dealing Biedrins?

by galacticlove on Oct 23, 2009 10:13 PM PDT up reply actions

question for anyone that might know.

i just got a new laptop tonight. now i want to get my music into itunes from my ipod. i’ve heard that if you connect an ipod with stuff on to an empty itunes, it will delete everything off the ipod. true? is there a way to import stuff to itunes directly from the ipod?

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 9:45 PM PDT reply actions  

this

make sure to turn off the sync or be ready to click cancel really fast

by Magnum on Oct 23, 2009 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

i'll give it a shot.

i still have the old laptop with my itunes on it so it’s backed up if need be. i’m just looking for the quick, lazy way :)

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 9:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

so i turned off auto sync and connected the ipod

looks like all my music is still on the ipod. so now i could just click sync right?

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 9:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

noooo

that would erase everything

by Starvin' Marvin on Oct 23, 2009 9:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

doesn't look like that will work.

this thing has windows 7 so maybe that means i won’t be able to see the itunes drive those instructions mention.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 9:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

go to apple

I would give it all up for a billion dollars

by Tyler Durrden on Oct 23, 2009 9:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

i'll figure it out.

worse comes to worse i can probably just connect the two computers and do a transfer. i was just looking for a quick way.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

didn't know that.

but that’s still over twice what i wanted to pay for a new laptop. this was was <500

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

thats a good price

im thinkin about usin my student discount to upgrade my windows xp partition to windows 7

by Starvin' Marvin on Oct 23, 2009 10:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

as far as i can tell,

windows 7 seems ok. i’ve been using xp for so long though (and didn’t ever use vista) that i’m still finding my way around.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 23, 2009 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

no, don't do that

you will just empty the ipod….ipods don’t load music to computers

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
