In the Early Morning Junk... randomness prevails...


Here's a picture of a supposed junk drawer:

Junkdrawer_medium

via www.laughingpencil.com

How many things wrong can you find with this picture?

Star-divide

Here's some ice breaking topics to loosen the mood:

 

If you could cook only one thing perfectly every time, what would it be?

Describe the best possible BE celebration party for a Blazers championship.

Why do you/other people take some things so seriously that they squeeze the possibility of fun out of it? 

Which upcoming game Portland Trail Blazers schedule seems hardest to win, and how would you win that game if you were coaching?

Which BEdger would most like to bake a cake with (interpret freely)?

Would you smack a bat out of the air with your bare hands?

Poll
Is someone was to make a JD dedicated to BEdge awards....
It would be full of cliquey humor that only lifetimers get.

Eating gulasch soup since I'm a bit sick, and hope this team mixes together the ingredients to something tasty soon.

I like the zip disk in the junk drawer photo. I vividly remember having to deal with that, and even liking it initially.

The junk drawer is a bit too fancy

first of all, it’s too tidy, and what’s more, it’s contents are of very good quality…

Yeah, and I got no folding money in my junk drawer

Who keeps actual mono (non coins) in a junk drawer?

I don’t keep coins in one either, I keep them in a cup and make them into folding money.

I'm thinking about getting one, but while the EU version also has free 3G to load books, blogs and newspapers aren't supported yet so it's a bit less attractive

Great for too expensive and too big text books, and you can also load your own PDFs on it (handy for cases and such things). It will take a while for the screens to become even better (next gen with color), but for certain occasions those things are here to stay. Along with audio books.

When I was a kid I rescued a small bat that a neighbor

had swatted down with a broom. I made a little nest for it in a shed behind the house and put water and bugs near it. After a day or so it was gone so I fondly hoped I had healed it and it went on to live a full and happy bat life.

Why do you/other people take some things so seriously that they squeeze the possibility of fun out of it?

Not to take this too seriously, but…I saw a comment from a Stiff the other night in response to someone’s attempt to be funny that made reference to being autistic. Now that might have been funny to the person who made the remark, but to the parent whose kid is autistic or has Asperbergers the joke might not come across so ha ha. So does this mean the reply comes from someone being overly sensitive or trying to take the fun out of it. Is his jock on too tight maybe or does her sports bra need more elasticity? No. Sometimes one of idea of what’s funny or acceptable isn’t universally accepted. It has nothing to do with dare I say a sour-puss attitude. Now that’s funny, HUH?

just part of the quest

I had just about heard it enough the past couple weeks from an assortment of people and it finally just got to me. Pretty much it’s used now to mean people want to get off the hook without truly taking responsibility and by saying I’m sorry cant we just move on already? People who are truly apologetic say “I was wrong.” Of course, that’s considerably more difficult for many in today’s win at all costs climatosphere.

Hey, whatever that joke of an excuse for a site blog the OKC Thunder waste precious bandwidth on, they aren’t showing a ton of respect to the PTB in their pre-game thread. I would never have guessed but apparently the PTB are considered a major rival to them.

Wherever it is

it should be at least one spot behind BSU. I liked the Herbstreit was showing love for the UO last night, but you can’t have UO before BSU in the polls based on the head-to-head. My guess is 7

9 times out a 10 I’d agree,

I think there is a small chance Ducks could leap Boise State, We’ve already had in recent years a #1 team with one loss ranked higher than undefeated teams. I just don’t see Boise State going undefeated if they play a tough schedule, I also don’t see them beating Oregon at Autzen, not gonna happen.

The mid-major dilemma right there

Schools like BSU/TCU from non-BCS conferences are lucky if they can even get a road game from one of the big boys. I agree with you that if UO and BSU met today, the result would be different. But until BSU loses a game, on the head-to-head matchup you can’t put UO over them. Yet another reason a top 8 playoff would make sense (heck, I’d say keep the locations/names of the BCS bowls for the quarters and semis, then do the title game) but unfortunately, that doesn’t look like it’s in the cards, so college football will stay with computers and the 12 year old nephew of some SID determining the endgame.

Since the east coast biase hates the Ducks always, but they like USC, I figured if the Ducks beat USC it just makes the East coast biase peoples just say “well USC isn’t that good then” so the victory doesn’t matter as much.

the polls loved usc but the computers not so much, it was the other way around with oregon. so the computers might not be so big on this win because they weren’t high on usc to begin with

also they seem to be paralleling florida of last year. both teams had an ugly loss early in the season (oregon and boise, florida and ole miss) then return with vengeance. they both are a little young and return most players the next season, and both win the national title( ok that may be a pipe dream but that would be amazing)

not just the score but

the total yards,
aslo there is this quote from mike riley

our team never quit and they always kept trying. They (Oregon) were a hard team to stop.

lastly there is all the records
The 65 points scored by Oregon was the most allowed by OSU in its history.

The game established Civil War records for combined points (103), total yardage (1,157), OSU home attendance (46,319), and was played in the warmest kickoff conditions ever (62 degrees).

Oregon RB Johnson gained 219 yards on 17 carries, a Civil War record for rushing, and RB Blount added 112.

Oregon’s game total of 385 rushing yards tripled the OSU season average allowed.

Blount’s 16th season touchdown run set a new Oregon record, and with his three unassisted sacks DE Reed established an Oregon season record with 16.

Is it a difficult field to find work in( in general, not just the current downturn that we are experiencing)?

it has it’s ups and downs…. I’ve only been doing it for 6 years, so things will change as I get more experience… pay is less than I expected (less than we were told in school) work load is either heavy or light, there is no in between. Projects are what they are… some are great, some are bad… they all have clients (which is the real challenge)… in the down economy (which is where it was when I got out of school as well) you are just thankful to have projects, so you’re not as picky, and they tend to be not as interesting(which is why Roybot says I’m always complaining) but when you get a good one, it’s all worth it… It’s definitely something to get into if you’re passionate about it, but not something to do if you’re just looking for a job

yeah, I was thinking of going to school for industrial design but it seems even tougher to get a job than in architecture.

I’ve spent a lot of time dealing with prints, drawing my own, and I’ve done a lot of design work, but mostly for my own projects. I’m always doing redraws of archtiects drawings, and I can’t help but think I could do it myself. I love design work, but I can totally relate to what you’re saying about the quality of your projects. I love when I get the really fun, original stuff to work on, and I’m lucky that I get the lion’s share of it at my shop. But the drudgery of the busy work on the lame projects is mind-numbing. Anyways, thanks for getting back to me, I’ve always felt awkward about asking an architect that I was working on a project with those questions.

I don't think Nate is doing a good job so far this year...

… but I get really annoyed when I hear “all this talent and…” and sometimes even “we have as much talent as anyone…”

I think our talent is very overrated. Nate has an allstar, a PF who shoots jumpers and is awful on D, a great rebounder who plays 20 mpg because of fouls and a bunch of role players. So, I think Blazer fans should keep criticizing Nate— I certainly will continue to get pissed about our “team defense” and Nate’s “development” of Oden, but I will also continue to get annoyed when people say things like “all this talent, and we get nothing out of it.”

I agree - it's not all on Nate

I think the thing that frustrates me about Nate in particular right now is he has a good system, but is unwilling to change his system to fit the personnel. The National Team guys all raved about Nate as a defensive coach. I don’t think they were blowing smoke, as Nate had them looking great on D. However, Nate’s schemes on defense have not taken with the personnel he has in Portland (particularly the pick and roll) and he has not shown a willingness, to this point to adjust. Issues of execution/effort fall on the players, but the game plan is the responsibility of the coach. Same line of criticism for the offense.

the national team had unreal individual defensive talent

and they still got easily scored on by Spain. I was not at all impressed with Nate’s team defense concepts during the Olympics.

I do think its 100% fair to say that Nate isn’t willing to tailor his system to his players much, though.

Spain was loaded

they were getting buckets no matter what. But I do agree that the US team being so loaded combined with the makeup of the international game (a lot of 6’5 – 6’10 multi-faceted guys) were an ideal setting for the schemes Nate was running. Unfortunately, the NBA is a different brand of basketball, and while I like the overall talent/depth the Blazers have, they are by no means the Redeem Team.

What I liked about the USA team defense

Was something we’ve only seem in small amounts on the Blazers… the swarming, pressing, defense-makes-offense defense. It was awesome.

With LMA, Batum, Martell, we got guys with high energy who are long and can do a pressing/high octane pressure full court defense every once in a while. We do it sometimes, but not the same…

Of course, you get LMA tired, you’re looking at Howard or Trout. So ya don’t wanna get LMA tired.

I loved the USA team’s defense-makes-offense swarm attack though.

by Mortimer on Nov 1, 2009 2:14 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, agreed... it was something to behold at times

I give Nate some credit for that, certainly, but its rare to have NBA allstars highly motivated to play defense, so Nate had a lot to work with there with all those guys so intent on a gold medal. He doesn’t have nearly so much to work with in Portland, but he still ought to be able to get the guys to make Ariza and Brooks work a little bit. One would think.

That sort of defense is a luxury because of the USA team roster

I know Jscot has mentioned that sort of waves-style-attack on offense and defense, and I would like to see it more, but the backups are so inconsistent and we need big minutes for Roy, LMA, and as many as Oden can get right now.

I'm doing the ten game plan

If it don’t look better then, I’ll be a little worried.

If we don’t look good then, I may replace it with the 20 game plan. And then the 41 game plan.

We do got a lot of talent compared to most teams, but Oden needs to stay on the damn floor and LMA needs to get to the FT line.

10 game plan sounds good to me

If we are still playing zero D, LMA is still shooting fadeaways and Oden is still playing 20 mpg, I’ll be worried.

If by midseason we are still playing bad team D and we still aren’t doing any development of Oden, I’ll post that we need a new coach. I don’t know that any coach could get Oden to stop fouling or to play better O, or get LMA to play inside, but I am quite convinced there are coaches out there that could help our D.

by jksnake99 on Nov 1, 2009 1:54 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, it depends

I believe Nate when he says players ain’t ’sposed to switch on screens, yet the players still do. Whose fault is it?

Should Nate bench LMA when he enables the PG to switch? Bench Blake/Miller for not fighting through it?

What enabled Oden to stay out of foul trouble, generally, during the pre-season? Is he just tight right now? Or the matchups? Or…?

I don’t know what is Nate and what is the players right now.

This year it has been the same formula as last year, except he’s been consistently effective in his minutes this year (just not offensively).

Earned fouls, with some iffy fouls, but he doesn’t always need to do the earned fouls, and the iffy fouls are fouls that he might not need to be put in that situation, and it is he himself putting himself in that position.

Joel has been getting ticky tacky fouls as well— and LMA fouled out last night I see. Was it the same stuff? Ticky tacky?

LMA fouled out on an intentional foul. I don’t think any of LMA’s were blatantly bad. He kept getting switched onto the perimeter and Brooks/Ariza would drive by and get the foul.

Portland has the best player.

They have an unbelievable scorer and two intense defenders in Sefalosha and Westbrook. Everyone but Durant is a role player. If “bad LMA” shows up and Oden gets in early foul trouble, though, OKC has the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th best players on the court tonight in Durant, Westbrook, Green and Krstic (in no particular order). If LMA does things other than shoot jumpers at least a little, and Oden gives us 30 minutes, we should win comfortably.

Offensively Joel isn't better than Krstic, though overall he likely is

Green looks very good this year, we would be stoked if he was our PF backup. And Westbrook has developed exactly like a young player with playing time should. He’s starting to find out about the finer things in point guarding a team.

Green isn't their PF backup though

He’s their starter.

Green has had a few nice games this year though, that’s true.

Last year he was a guy who put up some numbers because there is no one else to, and couldn’t defend anyone at any position. I liked him coming into the league, but as a SF… which he is likely too slow to guard.

He has all-round ability though.

In two games, Green has looked like a good SF that plays at a position that he can’t defend. And he’s their starter, not their backup.

Joel is a better player than Krstic. For all we complain about jump shooters…

Westbrook is a nice player. But saying that Krstic and Green are better than Rudy and Andre at this point is going too far in the other direction on the homer scale.

Maxiell's 1 point ties a career high

Villanueva is a 3 for 12 or a 10 for 12 type guy, super streaky. Was it his defense, or was Charlie V in bad jumper mode?

I didn’t watch, I can’t say. But those guys are that sort of player in the past.

Charlie V is more Green’s style though… PFs who play like SFs but too small/slow to guard either position.

I would take Krstic over Joel. Too early to tell, but Joel looks to have (predictably) regressed dramatically.

Rudy is maybe better than Green, but not by a ton— Rudy’s PER wasn’t much above average last year either. I will grant you that Rudy is probably better than Krstic.

Andre was better than those guys last year. Too early to tell this year. He’s 33 and in a new situation. Its possible he won’t be the same player he was before. Its also possible he’ll be just as good. We’ll see.

by jksnake99 on Nov 1, 2009 2:31 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Krstic at his best wasn't anywhere close to how good Joel normally defends

I doubt he’s regressed, he’s still in his prime, he’s just bad a 3 game run of bad fouls.

But again, I didn’t see game 3. Was he that bad last night?

Krstic can score but he’s the definition of average soft big.

I agree with your assessment of Krstic

but Joel has looked really bad to me so far. I am probably overreacting but I don’t know. Joel is simply not as good as he played last year— particularly the first half of last year.

Confirmation bias? He has an incredible TRB% and block rate this year.

As long as Joel is healthy and in shape

I think he’ll continue his strong play of last year.

His truly bad year as a Blazer was filled with injuries, he was slow, lots of things were wrong… the first two games he was a foul magnet, but still looked physically capable of being Joel.

by Mortimer on Nov 1, 2009 2:43 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

this is anti-homerism. Krstic is a soft jump-shooting big.

Rudy was better than Green, at least last year, and they are of somewhat similar ages.

Krstic really isn’t that good.

I admit to overstating things.

However, I maintain that if LMA plays lazily and Oden is limited to 20 minutes by fouls and Nate, the talent gap shrinks to being very small and the game becomes a tossup. And those two things happen frequently.

by jksnake99 on Nov 1, 2009 2:46 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

It definitely becomes tougher if those two things happen again, for sure.

It’ll be up to Roy beating Durant, and our bench outplaying theirs— I like our odds for both, but benches are benches and can be inconsistent. And Durant can score on anyone.

We need to take advantage of their weak defense, and if we’re just shooting jumpers (and not hitting), we will make it tougher than it needs to be.

I don’t see how you can be down on Oden. I’m encouraged. When he’s in the game, he is an insanely good rebounder who is playing terrific defense. He’s also been a credible option in the post when not encumbered by foul trouble. He has been great passing out of the double.

He had a grip of TOs

But not off of passes… his passing was very good, especially for where he is in his development.

His rebounding has been super dominant, and Jake should be happy he’s getting a ton of blocked shots. Is he fouling on attempted blocks? I don’t remember many.

It’s all correctable fouls.

I agree with Cab

Seems like about half of his fouls are away from the ball, not even within camera view. I’ve never seen anyone else get as many of those called on him.

There’s a been a noticeable drop in his stupid, “guard going for a layup” fouls.

Give it time

It looked corrected during pre-season mostly. I still think his foul rate will go way down because of his conditioning.

Oden is one guy who deserves the time to see what he can do. LMA I am much more disappointed in, as I hope he doesn’t do this every year— start slow, then turn it on.

He needs more confidence in his moves, not necessarily more vert

But yeah, I don’t expect him to become as light-footed as he was in college any time soon. The ideal case is probably Kenyon Martin, and he still isn’t as explosive as he once was (and I suspect he took PEDs)

But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart

by Norsktroll on Nov 1, 2009 3:16 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I'll agree with that.

if he ever is able to play 30-35 minutes consistently, he’ll be a really good player. Especially if he can get his TO% down to 20%, which might happen at the same time, because of the offensive fouls.

by jksnake99 on Nov 1, 2009 3:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

his post moves have looked good going to the basket as well, he’s just messed up at the rim. He’ll have an over 60% TS mark, 12-15 rebounds, and three or four blocks extrapolating out his numbers to big minutes. That is awesome. That is Dwight Howard if he gets enough scoring opportunites. He’s already a better passer.

how so? If he plays 36 minutes, he’d be at 15 reebs and five blocks. I trimmed those numbers down to 12-15 and 3-4 just cause I felt like it.

its very optomistic that he'll play 36 min any time soon

it's a common theme especially among societies that have in their recent future, grown more conservative.

It is always felt among these societies that the past was a simpler time, that worked better for everyone, and society has lost its way by being derailed by all of these new “liberal” thoughts. Things like substance abuse, sexuality, and the types of music we listen to are often listed as scapegoats by neo-conservatives. What they don’t realize is that many of these things existed in the underbelly of society during these times in the past and they were merely more hidden than in today’s society. After our eyes have been opened to these things the only way to revert back to these false ideals is with manipulation of information, isolationism, and in the worst cases brute force. It’s funny how the initial idea is always to make a better, safer society for everyone, and in the end inevitably it fails because human’s do not like being held back. Just look at what happened in Iran earlier this year.

Always good to finish ahead of Blazer time

My next paper is due in two weeks. This time I should and will start a bit earlier, and not just on the last weekend :)

I thought about picking up CDR (ridiculous that he is qualified as a PG), but he wouldn't have been eligible for me this week again and I thought it was "win 5 out of 9" scoring

I might have another nice pickup tomorrow depending on how my guys play

haha, no way man.

But we are going to try to get her to leave the room because we are tired of taking care of her drunk self every weekend.

Seriously, this weekend she borrowed my CASHMERE scarf without asking, then puked on it when she was drunk, ripped it and puked in her bed. The next morning she left for NYC, left the sheets as is. We threw them out our friends window. There was also a condom in the sheets, she didn’t even remember having sex the night before. GIrl is crazy and I can’t deal any longer.

well, hopefully you guys are confronting her to get some help…it looks like she has a drinking problem…and maybe some deeper issues

yeah, we're taking the "you need help, this isn't healthy"

approach.

Ahh, dorm life

My roommate was a good dude, but communal living and a crazy sex life (his, not mine, lol) do not mix

I she totally out of control

or could this be fixed with a sock on the door type arrangement? Honestly, the thing that saved my friendship with my freshman roommate was me moving in with another guy on our same dorm floor who’s roommate was gone every weekend, so my friend’s GF being over all the time wasn’t a big deal. Good luck!

well, she's not totally out of control.

But the problems go a lot deeper than just that. It would just be a better situation if she would switch rooms.

my roomie was the complete opposite of that

dude was a little weird (little might be an understatement) and had little to no social life at all.

pretty nice guy though overall

Can't remember -- are you in a dorm?

Are there RAs available? Back in the dark ages when I went to school the RAs were well-versed in dealing with people who needed psych help (there were a lot of them). The RAs got free room & board, as well as $$, so we made sure they helped with that sort of stuff.

by Corvid on Nov 1, 2009 3:45 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

we have an RA

but we’re not sure whether to talk to her or not. We’ll definitely keep it in mind if we can’t handle it on our own.

Yeah, we just ended up going to the RAs a lot

At first it felt like tattling, but then we figured they were paid to deal with that crap and we weren’t.
