Early AM Junk Drawer for October 29th, 2009

PrintSo most people have good times and bad times in their lives.. also, we are all gifted in some ways through our births, stations, or otherwise in life...
Personally.. I know that I have been gifted and blessed in my life.. I have a supportive family (for the most part), and no worries that I can do anything I put my mind to.. I've gotten to be out on my own since after I graduated HS last summer and made my way from Syracuse to Portland to Spain to Crete to Poland to San Diego to Tempe and since then.. finding my world is what my life is about now.. and I couldn't be happier for that...
But nobody's life is all peaches and sunshine.. throughout my life I find myself in bad circumstances.. sometimes I've only ended up with just a small physical wound and slightly more hardened to the harshness that people bring upon one another.. othertimes.. I came out a lot worse... I can't say I always knew that I would be okay.. but I always had that supportive family to remind me of how blessed I really was.. and because of that.. I can use the harshness and pain I had to endure to find myself and to make the world I find around me better also...
Soo... do people find they are more defined by the ways that they have been gifted or by the hardships that they have had to overcome? Or do you want to share some crazy deep things about yourself? Or do you just want to blather on endlessly about your fantasy sports teams?
PS Like Morti, I'll tell my whole story for some “feel sorry for you” tail... pm me...

"I told Pau the Lakers never win here in Portland; I think it's great." -- Rudy Fernandez
I don't think he is, but I'm a guy
the Blazer dancers aren’t that cute either, they should probably make the outfits skimpier and the dances more sexually suggestive.
LaMarcus is obviously the number one choice.
And then probably Rudy. I know you have a list as well.

Sad Songs by Elton John
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it’s times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don’t you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it’s easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much

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.
well I was looking through his career stats and the man flat-out produces per-minute in steals and rebounds. He rebounds as well as Collison, scores a littles less, and steals more. Plus he’ll get more time.
I really hope the games start streaming on Blazers.com soon.

That's true
With those 4 arms of his I could see him getting a lotta steals for a big. Nice pickup.

While I’m mocking you, I’ll remind you that most teams don’t got a good center who they need Hayes to guard, sacrificing any hope for offense at that position.
And then you respond, they don’t really have any scorers at the center position, so they lose nothing.
I don’t understand this comment. It is late.

that’s what you guys said about battier. well guess what, he’s got half of my teams steals, a category which i’m blowing norsk out!

yes
another guy gets a No Stats All Star!
no longer can i be mocked!
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Battier is a standard fantasy guy people often draft
Both for his name brandness, and because he gives you 3’s and steals.
i dont draft people based on their names
otherwise my first 4 picks would have been:
Pops Mensah Bonsu
Ruben Boumtje (sp?) Boumtje
Funderburke
Speedy Claxton

Of course I can play fast. I’ve always played fast. But I didn’t start winning championships until we slowed down. Wanna talk about the history of the game? In the last 10 years, show me a fast team that’s won. I’ve been on four champions. None of them were fast.

"Quid, Me Anxius Sum?"
http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/Year5000
I'll share why I'm a pervert
When I was about three years old in Vancouver, Washington, my babysitter, Linda Schmidt, would lock my half sister out of my room, get naked and have me sit on her belly and rub lotion or baby powder on her breasts. She told me not to tell anyone and I didn’t complain because I liked it. She dumped me when I went into grade school, but she was still my babysitter.
In grade school, she would kick my little brother out of our room and then have sex with her boyfriend while I “slept” on the bed next to them. After the first time, I rearranged the room so I could get a better view from the illumination of the streetlight outside.
I always thought it was cool until I talked to a counselor lady in my 20’s who said being molested is a bad thing. It put sex on my brain about 10-12 years earlier than most kids (from my generation).

Meh
It’s pretty much finished. Linda got knocked up, probably in my brother’s bed, had a c-section and didn’t babysit us anymore.
Her brother babysat us once and beat us all with a belt. He even hit my cousin in the face with a belt buckle. We told our parents about that one, so my dad took us to the babysitter’s house and told his dad. The dad dragged him out into the yard and kicked the crap out of his son in front of us.
That sounds terrible ...
… and very Vancouver.

Man I wish I could buy some tickets
Right now I think I count as one of the kids getting the free tickets.
I can't even remember where my ring is
I THINK I packed it away with my cartooning supplies, for whatever reason.
It’s a cool ring, I actually really like it and I didn’t think I’d find a ring I like, so I’m gonna keep it and years from now when I get married again I’ll pretend I just bought it. To begin a new life built on deception and lies.
I don't wear mine
I must have been retaining water when I got it sized, because now it just falls off my finger. I keep saying when I drop 10 or 20 lbs, I’ll get it resized.
does it fall off your finger everytime an 18 year old girl walks by?

Nope
It was mostly when I washed my hands. If I shook the water off, the ring would go flying. I had a string on it, like it was my boyfriend’s class ring and just gave up after a while.
The worst part
Is that I had another ring I wore on my right hand that my dead grandpappy gave me, and I had it resized when I got the WR resized and it falls off too.
If you drop enough weight you could wear it around your neck
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Maybe, but those are real. The necks would go back in length if you remove the rings. It’s surprising what’s popular in body decoration in some societies and which attributes people want to accentuate. Big plates in the lower lip, brandings, ritual scars, … Most Maasai warriors have big ear piercings and cover their body with red powder for some time in the life.

I had read that they will die if they take them off as those rings are structural and any neck muscles they had are completely atrophied and they would not be able to keep their heads up.
Add to that that you know have a 8lb+ mass attached to a foot long rod and you have a nontrivial torque to counteract (somewhere in the neighborhood of 8ft-lbs.) that has nothing to counteract it.

They probably shouldn't take them off all at once, just one by one again

My step-mom used to get drunk, well she still does, and bad things would happen. I lived in a trailer park in Oregon and Alabama. When we lived in Oregon, my mom also did coke. She would take our school clothes money that my dad gave her, and spend it on video poker and drugs.
My first date with a girl when I was 17
My mom said I could take the car. Just before I left, she decided she wanted to go to bingo, so I had to take my mom on my first and only date with the girl. We had to drop my mom off and pick her up at bingo. The girl never talked to me again.

Hey, it’s fun to get excited about the blazers. I know I enjoy it.
But if you’re new, look around, explore the site, get to know some of the posters. Find the search window, where sometimes you can actually find an answer in 15 seconds without putting up a post.
But most of all, try to take notice of some of the good posters. Without too much effort you’ll soon learn that some of these guys put several hours into making a good post, and some more than that.
Does every post need to have hours of sweat and blood poured into it, of course not. But most of the time, 5 minutes of effort is better spent as a comment in some else’s post.
Notice this also, if the good posters here have a ratio of 100:1 (that’s a 100 comments to every one post), and you have a ratio of 1:1, or 10:1, back away from the keyboard. Try having some fun commenting on some of the other threads. There’s a pretty good chance you’re going to like it.

He should have combined that all in one post, but I have no problem with people either liking or loathing the Birdman. On Moneyball where people can swear in game day threads if the situation calls for it they said some nasty stuff about him during the series that was over the line. He has his hair and attitude pretty straight off the court these days, so I suppose most of what he does is just “war paint”. He adds some color to the league.

Sportswriter Jason Whitlock wrote a provactive article about how monagamy is a fruitless, antiquated ...
lifestyle for high-powered individuals in not only the world of sports, but also high-powered gigs in general.
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10263372/As-Phillips-falls-from-grace,-we-need-to-change-rules
I agree with Whitlock, too, but I’ve always claimed marriage is a sham — for both genders, as well as people of any socio-ecnomic background — and monogamy on the whole is biologically inconsistent with our nature as human beings. Two parents raising a family and caring for their children lovingly is one thing, while each individual having sexual relations outside of that familial environment is another thing altogether. They can go hand in hand with each other smoothly. Yet, it’s an intellectual challenge for most hidebound diehards from the old guard to comprehend what to them is an amoral practice, even though spurning the highly repressive monogamy for a fancy-free lifestyle is a more natural existence.
Unfortunately, though, Western civilization has a cultural view marriage that’s sanctimonious to its rotten core. Rather than come to the rational realization that monogamy is impractical for most individuals — which goes for both men and women — many self-righteous, disgustingly judgmental people viciously and unjustly attack people for cheating on their spouse when, well, it’s human nature to enjoy the variety that life offers us.
In the future, here’s to hoping that we as individuals will be liberated enough sexually to push monogamy out of soceities throughout the world. I doubt it ever happen on a large scale, though.

http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/Year5000
I hear you...
Well, to be more precise, I’ve heard this argument a million times… and I wasn’t even alive for most of the 1970s.
-I think you may be under-appreciated one’s biological interest in monogamy: Why waste resources raising a child that isn’t yours? Free-love outside of marriage and raising children only works “smoothly” with modern contraception.
-Practically speaking open relations tend to be a little more complicated than idealistic, unconventional young-whipper snappers expect.
-I’m do not believe in judging sexually “promiscuity” (for lack of better word), but do you see the irony here: “many self-righteous, disgustingly judgmental people….”
Would this be based on your
long time experience with monogamous relationships?
I guess I’ve just lived a highly impractical life, as have most of my friends. I’ve been repressed without knowing it. And apparently it would be highly unjust of me to express any disapproval of someone who cheats on their spouse.
On the other hand, someone who cheats on their spouse could also be viewed as highly selfish and focused on themselves pretty much to the exclusion of others. There is THAT way oif looking at it.

I was listening to Marketplace earlier this week
and Chuck Klosterman was being interviewed. He made an interesting point about how in what seems like a paradox that having relationships actually gives you more freedom to express who you are:
Ryssdal: Now that you have this relationship with a publishing company, and you’re a proven guy, and you’re a performer, and your books sell in varying degrees, does that give you more freedom to write more of what you want?
KLOSTERMAN: Absolutely. It really does. That is one of the big things about the world that I realize now that I would have disagreed with when I was younger. I used to think that to have freedom you can’t have any relationship with anything, with anybody else. And that’s not really true, because the thing that you really need to be able to write what you want is sort of the support of somebody who is going to say, “Well, as long as this is commercially feasible for us, we will allow you to be the person that you want to be or whatever.” I mean, you look at a band like U2. U2 has more freedom than any indie rock artist there is. I mean U2 can literally make any record they want. They could make a record of droning, they could have a record that has droning but also with like Eddy Van Halen guest-playing guitar. They could actually create whatever world that they desire.
I'm anti-marriage too
I only did it because I wasn’t planning on breaking up anytime soon and it’s cheaper and easier.
You sound like you need to get laid
I’m pro-marriage. But my definition of marriage is different than the standard “contract” based on US legal system. I don’t need to be legally married to have a commitment where I can basically pour my heart and soul into building/having a loving relationship, and at the end of the day, makes me and my significant other extremely happy.
I agree that if you can’t handle having a fully monogamous relationship with a partner (not just sex but emotions, trust, commitment, etc) then you shouldn’t get married or get into a relationship that requires that type of commitment. I do disagree that it’s impractical for everyone though. I use to be a man-whore, but now that I’m married and fully committed (including sex) to my wife, I find it a lot more satisfying on all levels. Do I flirt and does she flirt with other people? Of course, we openly socialize but the outcome of having sex just to have sex with someone else is something we don’t care for. Well, and my wife is super hot so really, I would have to velcro Hale Berry for it to even entice me.
Just because you are married, doesn’t mean you and your wife can’t have open relationships. But i don’t think most men are emotionally stable enough to be in that type of sexual relationship, regardless if you are married. I think women have a higher chance of being capable then men. The movie “Closer” with Clive Owens and Julia Roberts tread in this psychological issue of sex and relationships. It was really interesting.
I think individuals are liberated enough to explores different dimensions of sexually relationships…it doesn’t need to be a social agenda to push monogamy to a large scale. As generations become more open minded, different paths will be taken, wishing one would be large scale over another is the same issue that faces the institution of marriage that has been established in history…If a group of people believe that marriage is sanctimonious, you should let them and respect that, as they should let you be promiscuous in your lifestyle.
I agree that people should not be judgmental or viciously attack anyone for being promiscuous but implying cheating is ok seems odd. Cheating is just not sex, but the break of probably different levels of trust, commitment etc…Cheating usually is typically surrounded by lies and dishonesty. And I’m not cool with that if it happens to me, regardless if it’s sex or if you told me you didn’t show up for a meeting because you got into an accident but you didn’t. Most people are not hurt by the sex but the lies that is the outcome of cheating.
Now, if you are trying to get legal support for the women you date to sign a contract that lets you be promiscuous, then more power to you. I can appreciate your creative ways to get your wood hammered. But then again, no string attached sex is prevalent everywhere, if you need civilization to approve of this, then go for it but it’s a battle not worth taking on for me.
I’m still a hopeless romantic at heart but doesn’t mean everyone’s take on the definition of marriage is the same.

Yeah, this is definitely a more well-rounded, detailed post on the topic I broached here, so kudos.
I’ll admit my anti-marriage stance is on the fringe, although I do believe that if two people have a child together they should do their damnedest to have a stable working relationship with each other while raising said child. Then again, that’s why I don’t want to have any kids. They’re too much responsibility emotionally and financially, as well as time-consuming in so many ways.

the thing that pissed me off about Whitlock's article
was that frequency-of-dalliances were scalable with income, ie, it’s more acceptible to go out and do the nasty with someone you’re not married to if you are a rich person.
I don’t like that aspect of his philosophy. Crucifying Steve Phillips or anyone like him for what he did seems totally unproductive too – but the idea that rich people should be allowed to do it more is ludicrous. – Elgin

Early thoughts, questions on the NBA season
There haven’t been too many revealing games—a few intriguing match-ups here and there, but most of the first games went more or less as expected.
-What is up with Cleveland? Losing to Boston is one thing, but losing to the Raptors? Allowing Andrea Bargnani to go nuts? Anyone watch that game?
-I hope that the OKC is getting all fired up about their big win over the Kings…. nothing like rising expectations unmet to cause suffering.
-Rockets win on the road on the second night of a back-to-back at Golden State. If the Rockets were going to only win 35 games, I think that’s a game that they’d drop. The Warriors are usually pretty decent at home.
-Orlando and Boston look very good, obviously.
-For some reason, I feel pity for the Charlotte Bobcats…. and their fan(s). It’s going to be a long season. They really need to look into finishing with a worse record. Those draft picks in the high teens are just to unlikely to provide you with the kind of superstar they lack. Wait, who am I kidding, that organization is a mess.
I certainly believe in not jumping to conclusions based on the first games… just interested in early thoughts.
i think it's too early to tell on a lot of stuff.
aside from the really crappy teams, that is (ie Charlotte). Cleveland will be fine, just take some time to adjust. LeBron already looks terrific.
I don’t think it’s too surprising the Rockets beat the Warriors. The Warriors aren’t that great and size wise they won’t cause Houston problems, especially because Houston’s big guys are really good defenders.
I’m with you on OKC.
Tonight is when we learn a lot about the Blazers.

I think the Cavs will be fine too...
I just find it interesting, from a basketball perspective, to figure out why some combinations of players just do not work well… I thought adding Parker and Moon were good moves for the Cavs. So, do they miss West a lot? Do they just need a little time to gel? Is Shaq becoming a huge defensive liability, or is he just unlearning bad habits obtained while playing for the Suns?
When it comes to the Cavs, my opinion
is that any wing sort of player is going to be fairly incidental to their success, unless they can add a “Pippen” type, which I know is what everyone says, but that’s cause it’s true. Other than that, guys like Mo Williams, that can spread the floor, is what they’ll want. Because the perimeter is all about LeBron.
Shaq was a much bigger addition, and I do think it will take time to integrate him to maximize that lineup (ie make Shaq a viable enough offensive inside threat to command a double). It can, and probably will, happen though. LeBron is too good and Shaq seems to, perhaps, have evolved out of his need to dominate the ball and become more willing to play off a great player since his LA days. I think your point about unlearning bad habits has merit.

true,
but isn’t MJ the one making roster decisions? or do I have that wrong? From what I’ve heard, MJ just seems very uninvolved for having such an important role. And I can’t help but think it might have some sort of psychological affect on that roster to have his shadow over them (when he’s around that is).

He is heavily involved in player decisions (from home or the golf course), though Rod Higgins is the GM

perhaps he might review his track record and bow out.
Perhaps not.

I'm always a little skeptical of team ownership by commitee.
Single owners seem like a better idea.

i'm skeptical
of over involved owners. they should have some input because it is their money, but they need to let the GM’s make the decisions. In the case of the Bobcats, MJ has too much power and not enough prowess for his position. I think that’s quite evident.

There are extremes in both directions, and no ownership model is perfect
Clippers have a single owner and he is terrible. Philly and Raptors belong to corporations, the Knicks too in principle.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
I guess Al Davis in Oakland is the ultimate single owner ...
and he’s either brilliant or idiotic, depending on the wind.

The sad thing about Al Davis is that he's a football mind who worked his way ...
the coaching ranks through the ‘50s and ’60s all the way to AFL Commissioner. It’s just that nowadays Davis is an old, senile geezer who’s ready to cash out on life at any moment.

My most valuable lessons come from my fabulously lucky circomstances growing up ...
… and the bone-headed ego-driven mistakes I made within that sphere.
I was born with the loving/caring equivalent of a silver spoon in my mouth: Two loving parents, happy, healthy home. No Uncle Touchy to plant bad dreams in my head/bed.
Yet, like anyone else ever, I managed to Zach it all up on many occasions and still do … even in my mid-30s. (God I’m old.) But all that’s just another way of saying, sometimes things happen to you, sometimes you make things happen. either way, yer on a carnival ride. Don’t take it too seriously. there’s cotton candy at the end … then you may puke.

I just moved my car out to the street and passed a small pickup, when he saw a car from 1974 passing him, he floored it to get past me. That guy has a small penis, right?

It’d have to be as a Serena Williams sized PG, because none of the dominant bigs in the WNBA are big enough, strong enough, able to gain enough muscle, etc, to be in the NBA.
It’d have to be a super muscular PG. They can’t be any worse than Sergio or Nash on defense.

I’m a skeptic of this JD topic for ,primarily, this reason: We often only see what we want to, especially when it comes to looking at ourselves. I think it’s important to reflect upon the exterior influences in our lives (graces and pitfalls), but only after we have come to terms with ourselves. I think the more pressing question to be asked, “is what choices have I made and what are those consequences?”; followed by “Having made those choices, can I live with myself now, and what choices will I make in the future?”. I also agree quite a bit with Jonestr about habituation and hard work.
rule #1 of JD is always disagree with jonestr
It’s similar if you are a politician: if Hitler did it dont do it. No matter what it is, dont do it.
you are never going to be a first tier poster agreeing with me, an eighth tier poster.

forgive my total ignorance, but can you give me a brief overview on where these three (two) diverge?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
certainly:
Another way in which the two arguments differ is on their actual conceptualization of what the human function is. For Plato, the human function is defined as deliberation, ruling, living and taking care of things. This differs greatly from Aristotle idea of the human function which is, to perform activities that express reason. Not only are these two definitions very different, but they illustrate the chasm between the ways that each philosopher is thinking of the concept of a human function. Plato thinks of it in terms of the person’s place in society. His ideas of ruling, deliberating…etc pertain to the community in which one lives, and one’s relation to it. Aristotle approaches the problem from a much more individualistic point of view. Expressing reason in one’s action does not have anything to do with a relationship with other people or a community, but relates only to the individual.
The latter is a minor point, in my opinion. From the first you can see a core difference between living the world among others and taking care of numero uno, first and foremost. On a really simple level, Aristotle, for me is cold, rational, and reserved. Socrates has more feeling, expression, and sympathy.

I would say it can—there are even the choices we don’t make, to be included in the ones we do. As far as I can tell, life is about the consequences of the things we do and don’t do. Sometimes the world poops on you, but that’s life. how you deal w/ it and prepare for it, is the gravy baby.

i agree with you, EK, except that the poop is not distributed evenly on all of us.. I agree that the sum of our lives can only be measured by how we deal with it.. but I said specifically that “not every major part of our lives” was about the choices me make.. because poop happens.. and sometimes it’s gonna rain down on you whether you are prepared for it or not…. and dealing with it will become a part of you for the rest of your life.. although your point is still valid.. when all is said and done..

A lot of people think the state of nature is to be at war—poop on your neighbor, get ahead in life, be cut throat, ect….

Well, I don’t know that you can evaluate anything, even your own life. This is taking a turn for nihilism (I need nightbluefruit and my blankie). I don’t know if we are by nature trying to strive above others; or if we are afraid of being stomped on that leads us to strive above others.

Ghandi said:
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
to expand on that, I’d say that if a person lives their lives in an honorable, respectful, convicting way, every day; if they can truly make that who they are, people notice.
I think you just have to hope you inspire people to be better than they are and help them if/when they want help with honesty and respect. That’s what I hope I can do in my life and I don’t know if I’m effective at it or not. But in the end, you’re only accountable to yourself: if you feel you’ve done the best you can do, day in and day out, I think you’ll see the world change around you.

I think this needs a closer examination of the poop and where it comes from.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
maybe an example is a dude I was talking to after a bike race a few weeks back
he blamed his poor performance on bad luck, but here is what happened to him.
He crashed hard on the first lap (he was running the wrong tires, and had them pumped up really high. Both of these things were well under his control and only ignorance or lack of preparation were the root causes, not the course.)
His tube came out of his seat bag and wound in his derailleur which cause his derailleur to snap off. He blamed it on bad luck. I would say it was a bad idea to run a seat bag in a race. It is a race and you dont need a seat bag. Again his ignorance and lack of preparation were the root causes.
In my estimation you can say life (whatever that is) is giving you poop, but often you are the root cause of the poop in your life.
in other words, luck favors the prepared.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
we cant all be born with fully functioning brains, and without a fully functioning brain you might do something dumb like pay other people to let you ride your bike, which you can do for free
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
It's pretty amazing to see how many people
were apparently born without fully functional brains. Scary, really.

Back to back game's are rough
They got in late, we had a day to watch video, work out some wrinkles.
Oden will feel confident that he owned their entire frontline just last week.
Roy is a rhythm player and always gets his mojo back after the first bit.
Miller as well.
LMA won’t likely be in foul trouble again, as he rarely is.
Aside from Lawson, who is a rook who played well in his first game but who knows if he can keep it up, they only got Birdman, and no one else on the bench. They are starting Anthony Johnson.
It might not be realistic to expect our bench to be so dominant again, but it is realistic to expect our starters to play more like themselves. If the bench still does good (like they should, really), we might just be too much for them.
It’ll be a good game. At home, with them on a back to back, I like us.
why about our bench not dominating?
our bench surely is better than theirs, surely, surely it is.
14736251
I think they SHOULD
But I think it might not be best to expect Outlaw to have another big game, for example, or that we’re able to get out on the break again. They are mostly all outside shooters, aside from Miller and Joel, and by their very nature they will have cold nights.
Talent wise, we should beat their bench handily, but that’s just the way things go with a bench unit. They tend to be up and down, though we should mostly be up.
I feel like the team broadcaster shouldn’t be biased toward a player. It’s getting bad at this point.

Blake deserves his number to be retired, since our championship team didn’t even win 54 games. Everything must be preserved from the best season in Trail Blazers history that Steve Blake led us to all by himself!!!

His numbers looked fine
But his decision making was sooooo bad in that series.
Brooks didn’t kill him as bad as most seem to think, but Blake was anything but a steadying force, which is what he is supposed to do.
To me, the numbers make it look like he was the same ol' regular season Blake
Watching it, he seemed way off and cringe inducing.
He was incredibly up and down
in the series…a couple of good games, a couple of horrible ones.

that's somewhat true
I was just being fair to Blake though. Blake was the only Blazer who made shots to help Roy out. When he had the ball in his hands and tried to make a play, it was ugly.
agreed
2 of the people we were expecting to actually contribute a fair amount ended up not even showing up. blake was highly disappointing when it counted. he was anything but steady…i recall where he took an unneeded hurried 3 point shot without setting his feet or waiting for help late in the 4th.

I assume you mean Blake and Outlaw
but while he did have a couple nice spurts, Rudy was pretty bad also— turning it over like crazy— and Batum was a total non factor.
Greg wasn’t very good either, though he did play stretches of very nice D on Yao.
Rudy was one of the best Blazers in that series, regardless of his TOs. He was one of the few who said “Who cares, it’s the playoffs and this is my time to hit shots.” We were timid with the exception of Billa, Roy, and Rudy.
Plus, he hit a bunch of threes and was the catalyst in Games 2-5.

He hit shots, but I really felt his turnovers were killers-- as bad as Blake's
He was one of the best Blazers in the series by default. He did not play well.
Oden's defense on Yao was downright amazing
I’ve never seen anyone do such a good job of preventing him from even getting a pass.
BUT, he didn’t really do much else. His season was epitomized in that series as well. Something truly great followed by something like that missed fastbreak dunk. Ugh.
Blake wasn’t the reason we lost, so I don’t like him getting blamed. But he just wasn’t good, which was a theme with most of our guys. LMA’s numbers also look like regular numbers for him, but he was so up and down and taken out of his comfort zone.
Good learning experience, but not a good series.
I liked how he talked about how bro down they were with Steve Nash (ex GM not point guard)
like that is going to impress the fans
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I don't remember it
I was distracted sometimes during the game by my friend’s 2 kids (1 is becoming a big Blazer fan because he likes what I like) and the wife and my friend, even though I told them never to speak to me during a game. SO RUDE.
So I don’t remember it… what did he say?
it was just like
“John Nash, former Blazer GM, now working for the Sixers, one of our good friends used to say…”
I forget what it actually was that he used to say.
MB brought up Nash yet again in courtside two weeks ago.

I've been beat up too
Twice in jr high. I fought to a draw once, and a dude in high school picked me up off the ground and was going to murder me for being a smart ass but my friends prevented it. I was in a bar fight in Tijuana but didn’t get hit.
by tominhawaii on Oct 29, 2009 11:19 AM PDT up reply actions
I got "beat up" once
It was a bully in 5th grade, and I was a new kid who was real poor for the school. I was also a SUPER good boy who wouldn’t swear and I was told not to fight. He pushed me down and I didn’t fight back and he “beat me up”.
My dad told me to punch him and that it was okay to fight, against my mom’s protests, and the next time the bully tried to bug me (he got in my face and told me to cry) I pushed him down and he tried to tackle me and I flipped him over my shoulder and kicked him in his ribs while he was on the ground.
It was the last time I was bullied physically, though no one ever liked me all the way up through high school so it’s not like it made me cool.
My older brother was, like for real, the school bully in middle school and high school, so everyone assumed I was as tough and mean as him, which I wasn’t, but it meant I didn’t get hazed by the older kids even though I was the youngest kid on the sports teams.
My brother was mean.

I remember in 7th grade
This one girl who was known for sniffing white out (kids in my school were doing coke in 7th grade, but this girl just pretended to do coke) got in a fight with a girl and she started crying and said “You can hurt me, but please don’t hurt my baby!”.
Then she pretended to be pregnant for a few weeks before everyone figured out she wasn’t pregnant.
awesome
I saw a girl slam another girls head in a locker once. Seriously crazy.
There was also a fight in my math class once and a kid suplexed another kid onto a desk and the suplexed kid went into a seizure
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
There was one horrible math teacher in HS
She threw my friend out of class and instead of going to detention he walked outside and pretended to shoot the teacher through the window. This was before all those school shootings because I am old.
The next year, when I was a junior, the graduating seniors actually put real LSD in her coffee and she went NUTS. It was bad.
you would be friends with that guy
you probably feathered each others hair
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
yeah
and then we would go and beat up Randy Savage for hitting him in the throat with a bell, and later I would make out with Elizabeth, while you and George the Animal Steel ate turnbelts
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
With the superior intellect of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in my corner
I’m sure we would have devised a plan to counter your turnbelt-eating scheme.
Perhaps even distracted the refs while we did something illegal. You know, outside of the box thinking.
My math class during my sophmore year was on the 2nd floor and had windows that looked out over the street where all the smokers would go to light up
one day during class one of the kids was particularly distracted by what was going on outside. When the teacher asked him what was going on he said “Something just hit the window”. The teacher thought that he was lying and went over to investigate when a tennis ball comes flying through the open window near where the commotion started and almost pegs the teacher right in the head.
Great times.
so glad we didn’t end up with Millsap

Has Goodell really changed the economic model of the NFL?

I think that Goodell has a big fight amongst the owners on his hands
when the next round of collective bargaining comes around. The big market owners seem like they are tired of sharing their revenue with the small market clubs and the small market clubs feel they can’t compete and remain financially viable in the current climate.
The players seem generally happy with the current setup.

Is Oden going to be preseason Oden tonight?
I want to see him muscle those frontin’ Nuggets bigs.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Hopefully – with more traditional centerish types than what Houston had, Oden can get his game on. Just a few plays – that is all I am asking. I don’t need the whole offense run through him.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 29, 2009 1:02 PM PDT up reply actions
somewhat.
i think with Denver’s bigs, we’ll see a more traditional rotation and Outlaw will be backup 3, Rudy backup 2. probably not see a 3 guard lineup (Miller, Blake, Roy). I don’t think Roy sees time at 3 tonight. at least, that makes more sense to me given the matchup.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 29, 2009 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions
they’ll push martin/anderson to play center, and bring in Afflalo to run a 3 guard set. I would guess we can meet them when they go small and will meet them. I’m not sure how well Outlaw matches up with their toughness, which is why we might see him at the three. I would expect to see more rudy than normal and maybe that miller, roy, blake lineup again. —side note, Nene fouled out last night.
by EvilKaramazov on Oct 29, 2009 1:14 PM PDT up reply actions
well if they go small that's all the better for us, really.
if Martin and Anderson are playing center, LMA, Trav, Roy, Rudy, Miller could do some damage.

I know it was preseason
And I wasn’t at the game, but how exactly did Oden score well against them? Was it simply just cause it was preseason?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
I don't remember the radio call
but Oden has struggled against Denver before and you can bet the Denver bigs saw tape of Oden getting the ball poked away from him a bunch of times against Houston.
Oden did most of his 4th quarter damage against Martin and Birdman
Nene is a really tough matchup for him.
Hes a tough match up for anyone

it’s playing in Portland, but downtown and I don’t really like going to movies down there (except the living room theater). I’m waiting for a wider release. I hear it’s great though.

But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
what would it take for Dave or Ben to write a fire Nate post?
Would getting swept in the first round do it, or would we have to miss the playoffs entirely?
miss the playoffs entirely
with a fully healthy roster. that’d be my guess. and probably what would make me think the same thing.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 29, 2009 2:51 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah, that's prob about right
For me, a first round exit might be enough to seriously consider it, depending on circumstances of course.
I don't think Dave could ever do it
Ben. might, but I doubt Dave would. Unless Nate was caught doing something off the court.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
I totally think Dave could
If we were continually failing in the playoffs and the players weren’t responding to him, I could see Dave writing a very sensible and logical “we might need a new coach” post.
Maybe
I think most calls for it would be way too early and most are trying to just look for a reason to scream it because people are conditioned that way.
I think it is MUCH more likely to be the player’s fault, not the coach’s.
I agree
Dave would be too late, but we’ve already had some insanely premature calls for it from fans.
It's the same sort of creature that wants us to "get rid" of players
Who clearly have some sort of value and aren’t negative influences on the team.
Okay
I guess that is possible. If it is a “we might need a new coach” post, that that is different than a fire Nate post.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Hire Avery Johnson
Bad voice, but I could see his style work with the Blazers. He focuses on defense, but also plays a good mix of half court sets (for Dirk) and some up-tempo.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Dave will never do an overly emotional "fire Nate" post.
He will do a reasoned analysis of the situation, and except for extreme cases “FIRE [COACH]” is almost never warranted.

I’m kinda bummed I was too young to understand it when it first came out

It was one of my good friend's favorite show. He'd quote it endlessly.
He gave me the first season years ago, I might take a look into watching it since you mentioned it cloudy.

despite the almost total lack of comments on the blog their traffic numbers are virtually the same as BEdge. Those forum numbers must be huge:
I just walked past Dante
in downtown. I said hello and wished him luck, and to kick some Nuggets * tonight! I doubt he’ll see any playing time though.
