PrintI am still getting used to having all the games
I have been hanging out in the game treads of some other teams I like Suns,Bulls,Kings and Magic. any body have a favorite or least favorite[hate is such a strong word] other blog site? This is a transparent attempt to come with enough verbage to get a new JD up. Also discuss any ideas we can come up with and implement our selves to improve the way things work around here. Would a Sat. Fantasy players thread be worth a try? Is this 75 words?

Rudy and Roy are the only guys who said f that we aint gonna lose
For a second this pre-season I almost forgot how much of a G rudy is. Too bad him and Roy play the same position…… It would be interesting to see what rudy would do as a starter on another team.
You knew he had a midrange game….glad to see it last night.
He was the only other "G" for us in the playoffs
Keep wishing their confidence and drive will spill over to the rest of the team.

What happened to the JD I created about my birthday and taking a hiatus?
I come back here like 10 minutes ago to check it out and see how things went today as a lurker instead of a poster, and the blasted thing isn’t even there. What’s up with that?
Okay, so that’s what occurs when I plan on taking a relaxing 30-day break. Well, if this is how things go down during my absence, I guess I’ll have to renege on my promise to let the season play out a bit before coming back for basketball talk. Yes, I do hear the massive amount of groans out there. It’s cool with me, though.
Anyway, my birthday was decent today. I got a bunch of gift cards — mostly to Fred Meyer’s, which’ll probably be used mostly to buy gasoline at the fill-up station — as well as some AK1984 approved long-sleeve plaid shirts.
Now, back to the issue at hand, I’m still curious as to what in the JD today led to its deletion. If it was my use of “retarded” to describe Nate McMillan’s offense, then I apologizing for offending anyone. I’ve got a special needs sister, however, so in my warped mind I feel I can use the word “retarded” as a slang term without it being offensive.
So, with that said, I apologize to both my 17-year-old sister and McMillan.

i think most people assumed you deleted it yourself.
that’s what I thought anyway. The deletion caused quite a stir. you can check the other JD if you feel like scrolling through it.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 30, 2009 10:13 PM PDT up reply actions
I did scroll through that one after noticing my was gone.
At first I thought that maybe I never posted the JD, because i was a bit hammered at the time late last night; however, that obviously wasn’t the case when I read through the midday JD. At any rate, I hope that somebody made a screen shot of it or something. It’d be cool to get a chance to read through it.

oh
the conspiracy theory was that you were banned.
welcome (sorta) back
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Nope, I'd just planned on taking a self-imposed break for a month.
Yet, I probably wouldn’t’ve lasted the full 30 days, which is ’cause I lack self-control and my willpower is next to nil.
That’d’ve been really odd to get banned over “retarded,” especially in light of some of the game thread craziness from last night. Though, I can see where some people would’ve assumed the whole “last straw” idea.

Things get lost in the gameday threads
In a fanpost, they’ll be more strict.
I didn’t see your post, but I heard it was “retarded middle schooler” that got the shackles up.
AK STYLE.
Even if I did some lines with Kirk Hinrich in the bathroom of a Chicago nightclub, I still ...
wouldn’t use the “N-word.” I use every word in the book, too, including both C-wordsd, but the N-word is off-limits as far as I’m concerned.

Sure, I'd like to check it out.
I’m curious as to whether or not there was any content in there from the comments — rather than the post itself — that might’ve led to its whole deletion.
I’m 99.99% sure that I didn’t delete it myself, although I was pretty hungover this morning and may’ve done it and my alcohol-riddled mind forgot when I had woke up this afternoon. The likelihood of that is slim to none, though.

often times mods
or a mod (overactive) will get an email or two about “the offensive junk drawer” and just decide to delete the whole thing, without reading all the content, because he or she is too lazy to read all comments. I didn’t see it, but if Nigger and Retarded are used within the same thread, I can see how a mod would be “concerned about family readers” and delete the whole thing.

The Princess of Blazersedge
It just takes an iron fist to keep the riff raff under control and her princess hand is mad strong- Idoltime
I don't get the joke
tevis seems to politely be saying that being so blatant about inappropriate word choice isn’t healthy for Blazers Edge…. why does that land him an insult? I don’t think it’s ok or funny and no amount of priviledge should be granted to someone constantly pushing the limits especially of late. No sure what the source of that is all about but obvious is an unflattering adjective
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
I actually was just joking
kinda pointing out how ironic that she would consider deleting a thread that used the very same words she used in her comment.
I assume she is joking about not being a jackass too.

whoah now
I don’t think it’s ok or funny and no amount of priviledge should be granted to someone constantly pushing the limits
first of all i was responding to a comment that i assumed was made in jest with a comment that was meant in jest. I believe Tevis understood that as he responded with “lol ok” .
It isn’t innapropriate to say Nigger or retarded. Especially when I’m not directing to anyone or any object, just pointing out why they are considered “bad” by the site .

It just takes an iron fist to keep the riff raff under control and her princess hand is mad strong- Idoltime
Yep. Same reason why saying "I'm going to rape someone" would probably be frowned upon but using the word the way I did is acceptable 'cause it ain't directed at anyone and is merely for educational purposes.

actually it's not
the subject is “someone” .
what would be educational about stating “im going to rape someone” anyway ?

site rule #3
Like every other conversation site on the planet we do not allow
obviously offensive comments based on race, orientation, religion, and the like. These subjects can be discussed from time to time but should not get anywhere near the bad taste line.
Just throwing certain language around to amuse yourselves might not be considered educational.
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
im sorry but pointing out that a word "retarded" for example
was used and this was the likely cause of demise of the early jd is not “throwing around for amusement”
i have no clue what lexi is talking about but i can say that in this instance I would recommend flagging my “offensive” comments and then perhaps emailing dave and ben, as im sure they are better equipped to deal with such unruly yet privileged posters as myself.
because honestly, your mock indignation is just annoying right now and isn’t doing anything other than creating conflict.

I can hear that… actually I’m not easily offended… just didn’t think tevis should have had to capitulate for having been the one to jokingly refer to your comment as flaggable….
because when it all boils down to it, you nailed it by making it my problem
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
If it was deleted specifically due to my use of the word "retarded," I'm surprised I wasn't ...
banhammered in the process. Oh, and by the way, did someone actually use the “N-word” in that JD thread?

Okay, you had me confused there.
Ironically, though, they’ve both been used in this JD as examples by you. They’re good examples, too, as those are hot-button words.
However, I’m curious to see whether or not it’ll hold up in the eyes of the mods. It’s like a litmus test of sorts.

Hmm, it must not have gotten the message across.
The game thread was brutal, though, with pointless hating going on with strings of vulgarities.
If given the opportunity, I’d gladly swear on occasion. I’d do it in a creative way, though. Yet, because that’s banned at Blazersedge, I do my best to keep it clean here.
Profanity here doesn’t bug me, however, and strongly advocated TiH not being flagged after he colofully told me off by using the F-word after I’d gone off on one of my many anti-homer rants.
Rules are rules, though.

Yeah, it just seems pointless to me. That does go two ways, though.
The same goes for people who burn it, for that’s a lame way to get one’s point across. If you want to protest something, make your demonstration about what you’re actually protesting rather than burning a stupid flag.

How many American protesters even BURN the flag?
I’ve never seen it.
That ish happens everywhere else.
I agree, it’s lame to fight it, and lame to do it.
so the only acceptable use of flag burning as protest is to protest a ban on flag burning? btw… welcome back from the shortest bedgecation on record… feeling rested?

Cloudy's Bets of the Weekend
Miami (-6.5) at Wake Forest — this is a damn good Miami team playing a not so good Wake Forest team. I expect “the U” to be hungry after a tough loss to Clemson last week.
Oregon State (-9.5) vs. UCLA — I’ll take a hot Oregon State offense at home against a bad UCLA team any day of the week.
I’d stay away from USC-Oregon. But my hunch is that USC covers the 3 point spread. I don’t think Oregon is as good as everyone thinks, they have basically played the bottom half of the Pac-10 so far.

i think you will be squirming late in the 4th quarter, cause it will be a close game…

hypothetically speaking, let’s say it’s 21-17 USC in the 4th quarter, and Oregon needs to drive down the field to win. You are telling me that you are so confident that Oregon will win that you won’t be nervous or “squirming in your seat”?

The Bedger formerly known as phillyduck, now I'm just HD the duck.
and utah
and purdue(who just beat ohio state, which was usc calling card win until ND,thought niether team is anything special), and keep in mind that they have crushed the bottom half of the pac 10. lastly cal is in the top half of the pac, they may not be in the top teir but they finish in the top half.
ps: didn’t u and cabby say the same thing last week about them being overrated and losing to washington, so yes keep saying their overrated.
The Bedger formerly known as phillyduck, now I'm just HD the duck.
I said that about Oregon, yes
they still lack a “signature” win though, if they beat SC this week, then I’ll start to believe in em.
And Utah is vastly overrated IMO, they will get blasted by TCU and lose to BYU as well.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

do you see another other top 10 teams holding the teams TCU has "blasted'
up as their signature wins?
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
top 15 teams signature wins
florida: lsu by 10
bama: va tech, ole miss, and south carolina
texas: oklamhoma( a 3 loss team)
iowa: penn state
usc: ohio state(barely and they really aren’t good) and ND (good offense, not a great team)
tcu: byu
boise: oregon(who is appearantly overrated)
cincy: south florida and i guess oregon state(neither really signature wins)
lsu: georgia(not that impressive either)
oregon: utah(nothing impressive but just as good as the schools around them’s wins)
georgia tech: va tech
penn state: michigan?
va tech: miami
ok state: georgia?
pitt: south florida
judging off the keys wins by the teams around oregon, i would say they are appropriately ranked.
The Bedger formerly known as phillyduck, now I'm just HD the duck.
solid research
this CFB season is pretty messed up, wouldn’t you say?
reminds me of the last time LSU won
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
ya it does
its gonna suck for boise if tcu wins out, then they could finish in the top 10 and not get into a bcs game. bama really is the only team that has an impressive resume, the rest is a mixed bag of good wins and bad loses, just like the year lsu won, the only difference is with florida and bama meeting in the sec championship most likely undefeated u could have a situation were both teams get put right back against each other in the title game(far fetched but if all the other teams finish with one of two loses and florida beats bama, bama could still get in with a more impressive resume)
The Bedger formerly known as phillyduck, now I'm just HD the duck.
LSU could conceivably make it back as well
they get to play both Bama and Florida (providing they beat Bama and make it to the SEC Championship)
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I think Cal was a better win for Oregon than Utah… Cal looked unbeatable on offense coming into the game…and largely has been outside of the UO and USC games

ya those two wins are
trademark win 1a and 1b, one looks more impressive going off records while the other was more impressive in general. i think cal probably finishes 4th or 5th in the pac 10, they aren’t as good as usc and oregon but i could see them beating out either osu or arizona.

I wont be surprised if we still play crappy for awhile. I actually think that

We got a pretty favorable schedule to open the season
I think even if we don’t play that well we’ll come out of the first stretch with a purty good record. No flying under anyone’s radar.
In all of November
Our two toughest opponents are one game against the Jazz, and one against the Spurs, and then a tricky game against the Dubs in Oakland… where we’ve lost before.
Every other game all month we should win.
I didn’t think we played all that bad, good effort, great boards, even made free throws.
We just couldn’t hit a bucket, I still say when you shoot 32% for the entire game, and lead almost the entire game, you’re doing some things right. We were leading when Roy and LMA basically had nothing.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
That's what I mean
Our offense was our best thing last year, plus rebounding, and we ain’t played well offensively yet. We won’t be shooting 35% 90% of the time.
Like you said, - we played like craptastic on offense and still almost beat a good team.
It didn’t quite feel like a playoff game, but they were ballin out there.
I hate Denver always grabbing the arm and making it look like we caused the foul. There good at it, and then complain when it goes against them.
Don’t think Denver forgot we tied them last year, they wanted this game.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
we did well on the boards till the last

I just dropped Hasheem Thabest on our 20 team league
He didn’t even play tonight. I give up on my “I’ll just see if he gets some blocks” plan after only 2 games.
Picked up Boobie Gibson. He makes 3’s. I think I might need them now. With Delonte West out and likely going to have a weird year, Boobie will get those minutes. The season before last he made a grip of 3’s.
Go Mortimer.
The manager that drafted B.Jennings and Steph Curry in the Bedge League is looking good right now…wooot wooot
i was debating on Curry or Tyreke but since both sucks at fg%, took a shot at getting 3pts…Evans did better today though…
I think Jennings will do well under the Buck’s system as oppose to the Euroleague he played in…
But it is early and reaching for Shaq looks like a bad mistake if he doesn’t get more rebounds
Jennings did great today
I just imagined Skiles murdering him sooner rather than later, or taking every opportunity to “teach” him a lesson by benching him when he tries to show any flair or personality on the basketeering court.
Scott Skiles is one of many reasons I want to trade Travis Outlaw for Kurt Thomas.
The dynamic between Skiles and Outlaw could either be succesful — with Outlaw finally putting it all together — or, as I’d predict in this case, be an abject failure with “Trout” riding the pine for long stretches of games.
Dear Paul Allen:

Yeah, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute would be a good forward partner for Travis ...

i drafted Chase Budinger as my last pick or something…based on your rants about him…
then in his first game against the Blazers, after we won, i literally cussed your name cuz Chase sucked so bad…
then he redeemed himself in game 2 by giving me some 3pointers…that’s ALL i ask of him…is 3pters and high fg%
i’m hoping he sucks tomorrow too though because i never root against the Blazers
Chase Budinger should get his points and do so efficiently, as well as dish out ...
some assists here and there. I’m not sure how productive Budinger will be fantasy wise, but I assume that he’s not a bad reserve option.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.
Sincerely,
AK1984
I think he'll be way streaky
And shoot low 40%, like all jump shooters do.
That isn’t bad, it’s just is what it is.
Yeah, his FG% might be subpar; however, his 3PT% should really be solid.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.
Sincerely,
AK1984
He should make 3's, which is a fantasy stat
3 point % isn’t kept track usually, just overall FG%.
That team will need points from whoever they can, so he may produce more than expected.
no he's not right now...
we are in a 20 team league so the bench are literally filled with players you would never have on a regular 10-12 team league…
it’s pretty funny watching people pick up players like Thebest, Chuck Hayes, Derek Fisher, etc because options are limited…
and you gotta find a diamond in the rough…esp ones that haven’t played yet
Wow, a 20-team league definitely makes it a challenge concerning depth.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.
Sincerely,
AK1984
Yeah, that's why I had Thabest
Just to see if they’d force feed him minutes and he’d luck into some blocks.
A 20 team league was a very tough draft… gotta really think about who to take.
i've never played and thought it was just for fun JD talk
but these BEdgers are serious…if you didn’t hate FantasyBball so much, it would have been fun to have you on it
Yeah, I'm a fantasy football guy through and through.
I tried fantasy baseball once, but it was too time-consuming for me.

Heck, a better option would be Don Nelson. We could be drinking buddies.
Nelson, however, would sometimes leave me high and dry, ‘cause he’d go out partying without me. That’s sort of like how he yo-yos his young players such as Anthony Randolph. Mike D’Antoni would be cool, too, since he’d just let me run amok during all hours of the day and night.

I wouldn't be surprised
If the grown up son of Nelly isn’t fully aware and accepting with how his pappy is, and who knows how close they are.
I can picture Nelly either being an awesome dad or a super aloof pappy.
Cuban and Donnie wouldn’t be able to work together if it was an oversensitive situation. I bet they treat it as “Nelly being Nelly, and I (the son) ain’t Nelly”
I picture him as being a "super-aloof pappy"

Marcus Camby is a great example of this.
But yes, Oden is a better defender, especially once he stays out of foul trouble.
I think he likes it when Gasol is out
he gets to be a focal point on offense. And then forgets defense. He looked lost on defense. Nice touch around the hoop on the other end, however

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I’ve been wondering about what’s more important… enjoying the style of play that the team plays or seeing the team win? I feel like it’s obviously the goal to win… but I want my cake and to eat it to, darn it.

That's really tough
I gotta go with seeing the team win because that is more rewarding in the end.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
and I agree with that. I just think it would be more fun to really enjoy the style of play.

this whole coaching philosophy of jumpers, isolation, having one player dominate the ball at all times… I’m finding it very difficult this year.

true but
who do you think had more fun during the 00s, the Suns fans or the Spurs fans?
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I think you mistake what my definition of great basketball is. I like watching the Spurs. They go inside to Timmy, have the spectacular wing in Manu, play lockdown D… that is a fantastic team to watch.

Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
OK
I was just basing that off of what the casual fan calls entertaining, which is usually up tempo basketball and then not entertaining, which is usually what the Spurs’ play.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
not necessarily tempo. More style as in isolation vs. ball movement, perimeter based vs. feeding the post, etc. I find certain styles of basketball incredible to watch… I think we have the capacity to be a team that people are taken aback by… but I fear Nate will try to fit all the talent into his very strict system.
free bayless
see the thing is..
i don’t think we’ll win quite enough in that system either.. so maybe the point would be moot, right?
I think some people find some basketball styles boring to watch but they are incredibly effective… I think the effectiveness of Nate’s system relies a lot on the efficiency of the players.. but it is not actually getting the most out of the collection of talent we have..

Exactly, gotta keep the ball moving, or else none of it works.
Same with immediately feeding the post, if it’s not there kick it out. Oden seems to be doing that alright.

One of the reasons I like Euro ball is the more passing per play style
Nate is in a contract year and he knows if the team goes no where with this much talent he is down a road.
by southern oregon on Oct 31, 2009 1:27 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I like a slow-paced offense that feeds the post rather than relies heavily on isos.
That’s why I keep going back to Jeff Van Gundy, who keeps the tempo low while managing to run an offense through both a pivot and a high-usage wing player. Van Gundy, moreover, emphasizes defense for real instead of espousing empty rehetoric, which is icing on the cake.

I see us feeding the post much more as Oden develops
Often running the offense through him in the long run.
I think he more than has the passing ability to pull it off. Just needs more experience to know when to do what. But he’s a great passer for how young and raw he is— better than Howard is even today.
I thought it was interesting last year when Rudy and Serg were doing the alleyoop.
Then Nate actually drew up some alleyoop plays.
But I agree, we do have the ability to set some people back this year.
And I don’t think we have to rely on any one approach, we have the tools to throw a lot of styles at teams.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
I felt we were really enjoyable to watch last year
Not only for the winning, but aesthetically pleasing, especially for a slow team.
I don’t disagree at all. Our offense did an excellent job of attacking defenses and getting the ball to the open man. I loved watching last year’s team.
This team doesn’t have an identity yet and it is hard to like the style thus far. It’ll get better. But boy is it ugly.
free bayless
it's cliche to say but
you just are going to have to give it time for now. It’s going to take a bit for Andre to gain enough of Nate’s trust to really open up the system IMO
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Uncharacteristically ugly for all involved
I don’t expect it to last, everyone is uncharacteristically off with their game and flow and rhythm to my eyes.
We got a relatively easy schedule for November. Maybe even VERY easy. We could have beat Denver even playing as weak as we did and not learned a lesson for 20+ games. We needed to learn a lesson I think.
We need LMA to be strong.
We need Miller incorporated with the other best players. And that means not making him be The Blake when he’s playing with Roy. He isn’t Blake.
We need Oden and/or Joel to stay on the floor.
Our defense has been good, better than last year. Martell has really impressed on that end, and so has Oden. Our rebounding has remained a strength as well, obviously. We just ain’t hitting shots we normally hit and our offensive has NO flow to it— something that was such a strength last year.
I see lots of improvements, but that on court chemistry on offense is lacking. Fortunately, offense is usually the easier thing to fix, especially for a team with such talented offensive players like we got.
I know it won’t last. It’ll flow better eventually.
I guess I started thinking about this because we really deserved to lose last night. Our new 65 million dollar man was afraid of the opposing frontcourt, we played Juwan for nearly a quarter, and Andre Miiller took three triples.
I think we needed to learn a lesson. I’m not too bummed we lost, in all honesty.
free bayless
I actually thought people would be freaking out more last night
Over the loss.
Yeah, we didn’t deserve to win, yet we still did. I take that (and our defensive improvements) as a plus.
The guys need a kick in the butt— this is for real, son!

Joel Przybilla isn't capable of playing the 4 on offense, except for his ability to ...
set hard picks up high for Brandon Roy or Andre Miller — or even Rudy Fernandez — to have an open lane for driving to the hoop. Unlike an actual 5/4 player such as Jeff Foster, Przybilla has hands of stone and can’t hit a jump shot to save his life. I, for one, dislike Greg Oden and Pryzbilla playing together under any circumstances.

I think it's more cute than anything
Unless we need both of their defense because someone has two good physical post players AND/OR we need to rebound badly… yeah, there ain’t much reason for it.
If Joel Przybilla had soft hands and a mid-range game, he may be used ...
like a Marcin Gortat — who can hit the baseline jumper — Nick Collison, or even the aforementioned Jeff Foster; yet, that’s not the nature of the “Vanilla Gorilla.”

I am so glad for Haywood.
It’s just hard in this league. I have very few quality players.
free bayless
I just picked up Boobie; dropped Thabest
He’s taking Delonte’s role while Delonte is out with the crazies.
He ain’t anywhere as close to as versatile as Delonte, but he hits a grip of 3’s.
I’m the only one in the league with TWO top 10 players from last year, and Kidd is giving me assists and steals but lacking elsewhere. I think he’ll be good for me though.
In the ESPN league, I snagged Martell for my homer pick.
Side note
I really really like Horford, though he had an up and down sophomore campaign. He deserved ROY over Durant, and would have gotten it if they ever ran a play for the kid. He basically averaged a double double off of garbage buckets.
He can dribble the ball in the open court, rebound and play defense; he is a beast. I think he’ll be really good.
He needs to be moved to PF though. He’s a natural beastly PF.
I am literally starting Chuck Hayes tomorrow night. It’s just too thin. Although, if Chuck proves to be a steal machine, he’s worth it.
I do like Horford. He plays with a lot of fluidity and grace for such a muscular dude. I like the way he moves. He’s a much better prospect than Griffin to my eyes.
free bayless
I think he will be quiet a bit better than Griffin
Both move pretty good, though Horford is taller/longer and more skilled— even though he isn’t that skilled really. Not yet.
Griffin as a SF will take some time, and he just isn’t a halfcourt player. He’ll be good, but I am pretty sure his lack of length and not knowing how to play defense will keep him from really helping a team to be good.
Horford plays tough, and just needs to be involved more. He can be so good.
If the Los Angeles Clippers move Blake Griffin to small forward, he'll become ...
an even more tragic version of Marcus Fizer. Playing Griffin at power forward is the only reasonable option, even though he’s got shortcomings with defense and size like Carlos Boozer.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.

I agree, it's a bad idea
He just doesn’t have a SF game.
What he is, is a running PF who moves really well, is nice and thick, and can finish with the best of them. He also rebounds very well (at least he did in college, and I expect it to remain).
He has to be a PF to be truly successful I’d say, BUT BUT BUT if he can adapt his game to be a physical SF, you can hide him on defense much easier. As long as he is a PF, his lack of defense will mean his team won’t likely be very good.
Blake Griffin's efficiency and rebounding -- especially on offense -- are ...
doomed to dip if he’s moved to the 3. On defense, however, Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby are a frontline that could somewhat mask 3s who drive by Griffin — particualrly Camby, which is due to his standout weakside help and defensive rebounding — down the wing or baseline to the hoop.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.
Sincerely,
AK1984
Yeah, which makes it an odd problem
On offense he’ll be best as a PF, but on defense you’ll want to hide him— but you can’t hide him as an interior defender which all PFs and Cs are.
It would take a weird lineup that would allow him to be hidden as the SF on defense, and remain the PF on offense, which means the SF on offense has to be able to be a good interior defender and guard PFs on defense.
I dunno who would be like that. Old Shawn Marion?
Maybe odd isn't the right word
Since there are a ton of undersized PFs who can’t guard the interior, or their own man…
To be truly effective, it’s a problem that’ll need figuring out— assuming Blake does prove to not be a good defender as expected. But you know what happens when you assume? You might be wrong.
You wouldn't need someone such as Shawn Marion, but rather ...
Rasheed Wallace. In a frontcourt with Wallace and Blake Griffin, a great help defender and shot blocker like Marcus Camby would add balance.
On Offense
C: Blake Griffin
PF: Marcus Camby
SF: Rasheed Wallace
On Defense
C: Rasheed Wallace
PF: Marcus Camby
SF: Blake Griffin
Wallace isn’t walking through that door, though, so Mike Dunleavy, Sr. can’t go back to the well with “Sheed” this time.

Griffin could be really good in the right place
When was the last time the Clips was the right place for anybody?
by southern oregon on Oct 31, 2009 2:01 AM PDT up reply actions
Put him on an up tempo team with a PG who can get out on the break and pass
And Griffin would be a dunking machine.
If Dunleavy wasn't the coach
That could be the Clippers.
He’s known for being a constant playcaller though…
He is also known for being a total failure as a coach
by southern oregon on Oct 31, 2009 2:10 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, he's an average coach and a below average GM.
I must give him kudos for dumping Zach Randolph, although that’s less impressive seeing that he acquired him originally and used the Memphis Grizzlies as his trash receptacle.

If you ever go to a Clips game
Notice the cold frosty silence when he is introduced
by southern oregon on Oct 31, 2009 2:14 AM PDT up reply actions
What bugged me
Is that the FIRE DUMBLEAVY chants started during the National Anthem.
Some kid is trying to sing, and FIRE DUMBLEAVY or DUMBLEAVY SUCKS echoes through the arena.
It’s kept up all game. They don’t treat him with silence, they treat him with boos and jeers and taunts.
It was a couple of years ago last time I was there
for a Clips game,maybe the native’s are getting restless
by southern oregon on Oct 31, 2009 2:21 AM PDT up reply actions
They are very restless
They hate Dunleavy, which as far as his coaching goes is likely unfair, but as far as his GMing go, I think there needs to be a change.
Of course the same problems franchise-wide will remain as long as Sterling is the owner. He is dumb and evil.
The jeers and taunts and chants about Dunleavy never stop, even when they are winning! They were beating us soundly and it never stopped.
Let's take our collective GM'ing crew at BE ...
to the downtrodden L.A. Clippers. If any owner within the NBA world is crazy enough to hire us goons, Donald Sterling is the guy.
All kidding aside, the Clippers should cave in to Bill Simmons’ inane desires by making him a NBA front office executive.
I’d revel in schadenfreude, as Simmons being an abject failure at his dream job would bring me immense pleasure.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.

George Karl and the Denver Nuggets would be perfect for him, as ...
Blake Griffin could just slide into the Kenyon Martin role rather smoothly.
Alas, Griffin is stuck with the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling, and Mike Dunleavy, Sr.

two top ten players? That is impressive. I am happy with Nash and Arenas… I think they are both top 15 players this year. Lots assists, points, threes, and turnovers! Yay.
free bayless
As long as Kidd, who was ranked 9 last year, gives me numbers in every cat like normal
He’ll be a top 10 player again.
Wade has been Wade of course.
Nene played awful against us, which hurt my score, and ya know what? I USUALLY take any player who is playing us out of the lineup because I don’t want to benefit from anyone hurting my Blazers.
Since I decided to not be that way this year, I left Nene in, and I really would have benefited if I hadn’t. He did nothing in the game.
Well maybe he rebounded well. I forget. He shot like a turd though.
wow I don't think I have anywhere near that much talent
Roy will be Roy this year, but aside from that do I really have anyone near the top 15?
My team’s strength is in numbers vs. having a couple dominant players…
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Troy Murphy is normally top 20, and was top 15 last year I think.
I got dominant players AND strength in numbers, so eat it Cloudy. Hard.
McGee only played 47 seconds the first game
I was about to drop him, but just like I expected he got 2 blocks tonight, which will make me keep him.
I think he’ll keep doing that all year— a game where he literally gives me nothing in any category, and then a few blocks the next game, enticing me to keep him.
DeRozan has been good for steals and blocks, with a few. He’s been starting.
Bonner good for 3’s.
Haslem rebounded like I wanted, and nothing else.
Tyreke had a bad first game but a really nice game tonight.
AK47 been getting steals, blocks, boards, and assists like I hoped.
Nene will be better, and so will Kidd, and JR Smith ain’t back from suspension yet.
I am happy with my team. I think all got a chance to be top 100 except for McGee at this pace.
Oh, Udonis won't be a top 100 player most likely
Because he ONLY gets some points (usually 10) and rebounds (usually 8 to 10).
Nuthin’ else.
although it is humorous to start Chuck Hayes. I laughed when I looked at my lineup this morning. Just funny to actually start the Chuckwagon in FBB.
free bayless
What froze me
Was when I decided to just drop Thabest and say he wasn’t fun enough to keep around, picking a new player took me quite a while.
Then I saw Boobie, remembered that he’ll be getting minutes now (and saw he was averaging 24 minutes in the first 2 games), and the light went on.
After him though, man, there ain’t no FA’s to get.
Jamario has been dropped… Finley will get 3’s… but a bunch of nuthin left.
Conley was awful his first game, his second game he got 10 assists but turned the ball over like crazy. Who knows what his role will be when AI gets back.
Roy has been and will be Roy. I don’t think I have to worry about him.
Terrence Williams had a great first game (15-10), and an OK 2nd game. I have a feeling he will be on and off like that all year.
Murphy has had two straight double doubles, he will be fine.
Biedrins has been very underwhelming so far — he hasn’t had a double double yet.
Sheed has been my Bonner, except he actually contributes in blocks and sometimes boards.
Barbosa has scored and not done much else.
Krstic has been surprisingly good.
Lou Williams has been good as well, I wish he’d get more assists though.
Battier has done a good job getting steals and 3PM, which is really all I need from him.
I’m not sure what makes a player top 100, so I can’t really predict that…
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
oh I forgot about Ryan Anderson
He has been great (better than Bonner!) so far, but who knows what his role will be once Shard gets back.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Ryan Anderson fits better in that 4-outside/1-inside spread offense ...
than mid-range shooting specialist Brandon Bass, so he should get the backup minutes at the 4 behind Rashard Lewis.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.
Sincerely,
AK1984
how many minutes is that?
He’s averaging 16 points in about 23 mpg this year.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I'm not sure as to how the minutes will be distriubted upon ...
the return of Ra$hard Lewi$ from his drug-related suspension.

To predict top100
I go by history, and what they do of course… the more stats the contribute to, the better.
Haslem won’t because he only gives ya 2 stats (3 counting nice FG%) consistently, and nuthin’ much else. If he gave me like a block a game or something it’d be different…
That’s why Murphy gets ranked so high every year. Good FG%, a ton of 3’s, a ton of rebounds, nice points, and then nothing else. But being elite in 3 categories makes him a top 15 fantasy player.
DeRozan will be a borderline top 100 guy if he keeps getting a steal and a block a game… being a rook, I have no idea if he can keep it up. He’s rebounded decent as well.
If they produce across a few stats, they’ll be top 100. And sometimes even if they just do 1 stat at an elite level (I remember Boobie being top 100 two seasons ago I think, just based on 3’s).
huh
I suppose there is the potential for most of my team to be top 100…
it’s way to early to tell though
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Nenad won't stay top 100
And Conley won’t stay so low.
Terrence will be up and down like you say. he’s a rook, and that sort of player right now anyways.
how bout that
T Will has a shot to make it if he produces in steals or assists.
nenad won’t stay in it for long IMO
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I have a secret player or two I'll pick up on Sunday since for some reason the system needs 1 day to reflect the lineup changes. Don't anybody dare to pick em up before me!
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
I see that the Detroit Pistons started Ben Wallace tonight, as well as gave him plenty of minutes.
Yet, when your starting power soft forward is Charlie Villanueva, going with “Big Ben” isn’t a bad idea.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.

And when your backup is Kwame...
Ben Wallace playing 30 mins a night is surprising though.
The Pistons will not be good this year…

fortunately for them
there are a bunch of bigs in the draft this year
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Knowing Joe Dumars, he'll draft someone soft like Greg Monroe and stuff him in at center.
That’d be as if the Portland Trail Blazers played LaMarcus Aldridge extensively at center, which would be bad times for offensive efficiency, rebounding, and defense.

You prolly already touched on it, but what did you think of Martell.
I was like – Wow, I’ve never seen this Martell before.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
Martell and Rudy are playing well
When they get used to playing with Dre it is going to be fun to watch and win some games
by southern oregon on Oct 31, 2009 2:37 AM PDT up reply actions
I know Mello put up a lot of points,
but you gotta think he was wondering where did this guy came from. And it was physical out there, and not just between Mart & Mello. I think in a series Mello has a few nights where he gets frustrated with the tenacity Mart was bringing. But that Mello is a pure shooter.
Yeah, then there’s Rudy, I was liking what I saw there. It looks like the youngins have stepped up there game.

If the situation calls for it, ask (email) a mod to delete my post.
I don’t think i can stay up any longer to see if somebody has halloween junk.
