JD 11/12/09- And the Triumphant Return of Many Things

Greg Oden is back, I think we last saw him this way somewhere in his senior season in high school.
The Blazers are Back - I heard best start in a decade? Touche. All this after half the bandwagon fell off after only 6 games.
I'm back posting in this old junk drawer. Oddly enough I have not posted on this site in 7 months. Oddly enough I have had one of those old ball and chain thingys for about, 7 months.
We shall call this the Triumphant Return.
No more about the blazers eh. You can go over to the timberwolves site for that. I'm here because you want a place to post pictures about what you have been doing for the last 7 months.
I got lots of pics. I have been doing alot of hiking around the old pacific northwest. Today, instead of doing so many things of responsibility that I no doubt should of have been doing, I went and visited the Bonneville Dam. And had myself a lunchables ontop of a little hill that overlooks where the Army Corp of Engineers moved an entire town to accomodate for the 2nd power station. Amazing.
Almost as amazing as the fact that I am a business owner. Somebody wake me up, what do you mean I have to do my own taxes?...
I went crabbing. My girlfriend went to bed at the normal time and was for some reason shocked when I came to bed at 6 am. Did I mention I had like 20 crabs all cooked and ready to eat just sitting in some ice? This hotel had a dock with a card key locked gate so only the hotel guests could drop their pots off this dock as the tide came in and out. I used frozen mink for bait of course. Sure enough my circle type pots were pulling crabs all night and their baited box soakers werent so lucky.
What else...I miss you guys... All of you, blazer fans all over the world. Sometimes when my girlfriend breaks up with me I get all sad and require pints of microbrew. I adorn a pinwheel on my shirt and perhaps my hat and no matter where I go someone either wants to talk about the scarlett and black or at least has a matching symbol of my portland team on their head perhaps.
A funny story before I go.
My friend Colin and I used to play on the same city league basketball team. I have since dropped out but Colin still plays once a week. A few weeks ago they had a game against a team with better record and knew they would have to work extra hard to try and get a victory. It was a back and forth battle until one man took over the game for the opposition. His smooth dribble and silky smooth step jack jumpers had obviously been honed over years of playing. He passed to his teammates when they were open, he knew when to pull up on the fast break. At which point he would wave off a screen and take his man one on one, laying it up everytime.
I thought I recognized him but I just couldn't be sure. Could he really play on a team of mostly younger men on a city wide rec league? Colin went up to the man and shook his hand, confident he knew the mans name. He gave Colin a business card, turns out he sells insurance too. The mans name....

From what we heard
If you’ve been with the lady for 7 months, then in about 2 months the baby you made at the Blazers game should be popping out.
yeah, that's easily our least annoying loss so far
We should have won— we were on fire, just didn’t play any semblance of D, but its still a road game against a likely playoff team. Those aren’t killer losses.
I still ain't watched it
My LPBB conking out for whatever reason means I likely will never watch it, since I doubt it’s archived still.
Last season they weren't, I don't think.
I dunno this year since it won’t let me log in and for whatever reason it takes DAYS to fix it.
I see the trust there as well
Everyone looking into him more, but it’s still not enough and he’s still missed quite often. In time!
It will be interesting to see once we play some good teams
Oden’s Defensive Rating is outstanding right now— teams aren’t scoring on us nearly as often when he’s been in.
i didn't get to watch till middle 3rd
driving home…but in those instance, GO should play more physical
That one baseline one was good
If Oden wasn’t blocking a lot of shots this year already, I’d worry about him not being as aggressive there, but since we’re working on him not fouling needlessly, I’m happy with him letting it go and not bumping him.
yeah, given that Oden had zero fouls, I would have liked to see him go after that one
but in general, you can live with the occasional play like that to keep him on the court.
Big Al doesn't look good at all
He shoulda’ been attacking Oden, force him to foul him. Instead, he took face up jumpers.
Z-Bo post-micro is what he looks like… that first year back when he went 18/9.
blew out Memphis tonight
5-3 with the 3 losses being @ Portland, @ Dallas and in OT vs. the Lakers with some questionable officiating.
Makes our home win against them look better as well
Especially considering how poor we were playing for the first stretch.
The WC is starting to look like a different picture
with Utah and NO looking like dog meat
by southern oregon on Nov 12, 2009 1:07 AM PST reply actions
yeah, the plus for Utah is if they miss the playoffs they get two lotto picks
including a likely top 5 pick the way the Knicks are playing.
That'd be the best thing for their future
If ya ain’t gonna win it all and you don’t got enough guys that you’re developing with a chance to win it all in the future, do what it takes to get those guys.
Go be in the lottery and get 2 lottery picks. Would be sweet for Utah, lame for everyone else.
how insane would it be if they both missed the playoffs? Both considered up and coming quite recently.
Its very possible though— LAL/SAS/PDX/DAL/DEN/PHX are pretty much playoff locks at this point. I think HOU is definitely a playoff team. That leaves 1 spot for UTH/NOH/LAC/OKC.
I think both will do better
I do agree with those that say Utah has been overrated for a few years now.
Still, Deron is great, and they’re well coached. AK47 is playing good as well.
I love Channing Frye.
He’s better than Shaq.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:10 AM PST up reply actions
He's also actually funny.
Shaq just tricks people into thinking he’s funny somehow.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:11 AM PST up reply actions
He goes mumble mumble mumble
And since he’s cross-eyed people laugh.
Channing Fryes makes witty barbs that very well could be found at the Algonquin Round Table.
I know.
He’s had some great games. I think he’s at 25 threes so far. He would actually fit pretty well into a lineup with Oden and Miller.
Just saying.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:15 AM PST up reply actions
Sure, if he can make it
As far as I could tell last year, Frye had the green light to shoot 3’s, he just didn’t do it much AND didn’t play much anyways.
Sure, if he can make it
As far as I could tell last year, Frye had the green light to shoot 3’s, he just didn’t do it much AND didn’t play much anyways.
green light to shoot 3s was not enough
that green light should have been combined with a RED light to shoot 22 foot 2s.
He always looked good when he got minutes.
He just never got minutes. It does make me wonder if Aldridge should start taking threes.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:18 AM PST up reply actions
we ran some 1-4 high in the third/fourth tonight. He was standing at the three point line, isolated with Roy. I wonder if he’ll take threes in that set?
free bayless
The Portland coaching staff has to notice the bump in Frye's production right?
Threes count for more points, that’s why they’re called threes.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:22 AM PST up reply actions
I guess.
I can’t figure it out. There must be some sort of reasonable explanation.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:24 AM PST up reply actions
how are you certain that it wasn’t Frye failing to be in the correct place? I dunno. I struggle to say that our coaches just weren’t smart enough.
free bayless
he would immediately come in and start shooting long twos
Obviously I’m not privy to what they were telling him, but I doubt they were hammering it in nearly enough.
I didn't think Frye felt as comfortable doing it
His percentage wasn’t all that great either, but I still attribute that to just not getting minutes.
3’s always are better than long 2’s, but if a guy isn’t comfortable shooting that 3…
Our coaches have gotten Outlaw to shoot a lot more 3's at a good rate
I really don’t see our coaches having a problem with guys shooting 3’s, with how reliant we’ve been on it over the years.
It's a major part of our game plan after all
And we’re clearly okay with some of our PFs shooting jumpers.
that's exactly the problem
Those jumpers should be threes, not 20+ footers.
Frye should have been told to NEVER shoot a 20+ foot two pointer.
I guess we'll never know
Not really sumthin’ I see as a big problem. I worry more about LMA shooting long 2’s.
If he's open, he's open
He can hit it, and it hurts the offense to NOT shoot the open jumper when a guy can make it.
I’d rather that he just not be in the position to be open there.
agreed i dont think he has that range yet

wait, what?
Frye blocked 3 shots in one game? Wasn’t that like his entire blocked shot total for 2 years in Portland? I realize he didn’t get minutes here, but he was a defensive sieve (and fouling machine) when he did play.
Still, happy for the guy. Phoenix was the perfect team for him.
How did you guys win that?

Channing Frye is still an out-and-out abysmal defender, even in Phoenix.
LaMarcus Aldridge is a poor defender, yes. He’s still better than Frye, though.

the Clips-Thunder game was full of Lawler drooling all over Durant. Absolutely comical… a lovefest. They got a good kick out of how Durant would be the HANDS DOWN number one pick if the draft were today.

KP is stubborn as a mule sometimes
Hopefully Iverson doesn’t work out in Memphis so we can add him to the 3 guard lineup!
I think they are right, Cab
I think he would be the #1 pick if the draft was today, and pretty close to a consensus. We’ve heard this reported by multiple media sources. Most NBA GMs would take Durant. That’s just reality.
He would be what,a senior in the NCAA?
by southern oregon on Nov 12, 2009 1:34 AM PST up reply actions
It wasn’t that they said it. It was how they said it. (implication was that Oden was a bust).
a lot of GMs would take Durant, yes. I still take Oden, and I think management would as well.
free bayless
That's fine, but I think ~25-28 NBA GMs would take Durant
Given Oden’s history— micro and fouls— is just too risky. Not that NBA GMs are smart. Oden may still be the right pick. Who knows.
I hadn't looked at KD's stats yet this year
He’s shooting 20% from 3. Yikes.
Averaging 2 points more, and a rebound more, everything else the same. A:TO ratio still equal. Half a steal more, almost 2 a game, that’s nice.
Not much different yet, though it seems he’s getting to the line a grip.
His 3 pt % will go up, for sure
Maybe not as high as last year though. His TS% may end up being higher than last year because of the FTs. He’s not made huge strides though. He’s not LeBron.
Tough to judge his defensive improvement or lack thereof until at least half the season is over, but so far his adjusted plus minus is very good.
That's good to see
I got no doubts he can get better defensively, everyone does who tries.
I don’t think he’ll ever be a playmaker and, judging from his stats, he’s exactly the same. Just on a cold streak, shooting wise, which will change.
For sure.
A 10-10 center who plays defense is way better than a 25-10 small forward who doesn’t pass.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:45 AM PST up reply actions
I definitely think a big who plays good to great defense and rebounds
Is more effective than a perimeter guy who only scores.
I do not think it’s a coincidence that the Nuggets became a very good team once Nene was healthy, and Billups was on the team. I don’t think that is Melo.
Melo HELPS, and he’s an amazing scorer. But I just don’t think it impacts the game as much as interior defense, shotblocking, and rebounding on both ends.
If Noah could keep up his current production maybe....
but I don’t really consider him a great defender.
I think Anthony is entirely overrated until he becomes a better defender and passer… and I think he’s already a much better defender and passer than Durant.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:53 AM PST up reply actions
there’s a difference in a post-up center and a garbage man Biedrins/Dampier. The post-up center makes life easy on the entire offense. Open shots galore.
free bayless
Um...
1.) Carmelo Anthony is a much better passer than Durrant IMHO.
2.) Dampier hasn’t averaged a double-double in the past six years. He did it once in 2003 for the GSW.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:50 AM PST up reply actions
His contract for next year becomes unguaranteed if he doesn’t appear in 2 All-Star games (didn’t happen), win a title (didn’t happen) or play 2100 minutes this season in the 70 games where he plays the most minutes or if he doesn’t appear in 70 games in all of those (won’t happen with some minutes management).
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Sure, right now
Foul problems will improve.
Oden is a much better defender and is better offensively than Kaman was at the same age.
Ok but if you swap the two for right now, the Blazers get a lot better
38 mpg of Kaman>>>24 mpg of Oden.
I dunno, the defense really matters
Plus I don’t consider the RIGHT NOW of Oden, except in these academic debates. Oden will continue to get better, and I know for sure I’d rather have Oden going into the future over Kaman.
sure, of course
Its dangerous to assume Oden’s foul problems will go away though, as nice as these past few games have been. Remember that we are dealing with historic foul problems— much worse than great big men of the past.
Very very true
But, it is something that can improve easily through a few different avenues.
Respect from refs, league pressure, Oden just NOT DOING THAT, ODEN DON’T, etc.
He has looked much less anxious on the defensive end in the last couple of games...
Its nice to see him back off a little and realize he can’t stop everything. He is definitely getting better at picking his spots to try and make a play. He certainly isn’t out of the woods yet though, a lot of improvement is left in that area…
RUDY > MJ
If we had a game for the title tomorrow
I may still pick Oden because of his current defense and hope he can manage to stay out of foul trouble, over somewhat-guaranteed 36 minutes of Kaman.
Having Joel helps that, though he ain’t much good at staying on the floor this year either.
Kaman musta' had a few slippage games
He’s down to 21.7ppg and 9.6boards.
I expect boards to be over 10, and points to keep slipping.
Not a chance.
Oden is a much, much, much better defender.
by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 12, 2009 1:56 AM PST up reply actions
Oh man, if Kaman can stay healthy and keeps playing like this
Of course Kaman. 24 and 10+ and blocks out of your center? You can get another perimeter scorer much easier than a center scoring and rebounding that much.
Kaman isn’t a dominant defender, but he’s doing really well. He’s a more old fashioned center, not good at moving around though.
So Kaman Should at the least be in the discussion for most improved
even though he is not a kid
by southern oregon on Nov 12, 2009 2:03 AM PST up reply actions
I think so
Though he was sorta doing this 2 seasons ago, and last season he was just hurt most of the year.
Rounding up slightly
2 seasons ago he averaged 16ppg, 13rebs, and 3 blocks. He didn’t seem to get a lot of attention for it, though people noticed he was doing much better than the year before and it was attributed to a new treatment he was doing for his ADD-like problems.
He stopped taking medicine and tried new stuff. Different mental exercises and junk. I dunno how it works…
Greg’s getting better every game, let people say that stuff. Come playoffs it’ll be a different story.

That's a cool way to keep it in bounds
Spike it down so hard that it just goes straight back up, not into the crowd.
Garsh I hope he can keep it up
I am really curious to watch him matchup against Okafur, that will be a decent test for him…
RUDY > MJ
All 3 traditional bigs
I like the matchups for all in Oden’s favor, but all 3 are capable of giving Oden trouble.
good point, all three games should be interested...
Horford is a tough matchup for Oden to be sure. He is a lot quicker than Oden and still knows how to rebound and play D….
RUDY > MJ
Hollinger has it at 21.4, 5th among Centers
Behind Dwight, Tim, Joakim and ’Drew.
In his “Estimated Wins Added,” which take playing time into account, he’s ahead of Bynum (who’s missed games), but behind Kaman, Lee, Lopez, Bargs and Horford.
it essentially just uses PER, minutes played, and what position you play at
and then estimates how many wins you are worth to your team over a “replacement level player,” ie someone on the edge of being NBA quality.
Yeah, PER > EWA.
In my crazy mind, I mix together a crazy concoction of PER, WoW, and defensive +/- stats — such as net points allowed per 100 possessions and net eFG% allowed — to make my assessments.

I think that seems like a good combo
I like to check those stats but I totally confess I do not think of myself as a stat guy who understand how they’re put together.
apropos of nothing, I love how Nate is the master of faint praise

“You have to guard him”

how about Ellie Mae this year? He finally boosted those rebounding/efficiency categories, hmmm? Obviously it’s a small sample size, but he always gets better as the season goes along.
free bayless
yeah, that's nice to see
All his advanced stats are up pretty much, except usage which is down significantly. His PER is lower than last year because of that. WP48 probably likes him better so far this year.
I've been really happy with his rebounding
Not as happy with his shot selection still. Really love seeing him run the floor though.
Ellie Mae?

That was a funny fanpost
I had a feeling he already had that thing mostly written and was just waiting for Bayless to do something to “silence the doubters”.
Using 2 games of like 11 minutes total… jeez.
the best part was when he defended why Bayless was actually the blazer with the highest per
Saying that Dante didn’t count cause he had only played 6 minutes to Jerryds 23. Twas funny to me…
RUDY > MJ
he refused to change his post to reflect the fact that, at the time, Dante led all Blazer in PER
and Roy led all Blazers with a reasonable amount of minutes.
Its funny because his overall premise wasn't all that all
Bayless does look better this year, anybody with two eyes can see that. He still has a way to go, but there is improvement. Its just the insistence on using PER to prove his point that hurt him. Also, looking ahead to moving Blake so JB could be the backup was pretty out there. He is right that Bayless does deserve some run, 5-10 minutes + garbage time seems fair until this strange two point guard starting unit gets scrapped. Rudy and JB do make a decent combo, but I don’t think Rudy is ready to take on consistent play making responsibilities just so Bayless can play as an off guard…
RUDY > MJ

His rebounding, going 8 for 10, and no TOs again is why his PER jumped 3 points I assume.
Since that one crazy 7 turnover game
He’s gone 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 0, 1, 0. I don’t think it’s a coincidence the 0, 1, 0 came against the Wolves and Grizz, but he’s been better overall for sure.
offensively, he has
Last year, he had abnormally good offensive season.
Good to see my early worries about his rebounding/shotblocking look unfounded.
His fouls are the only thing I find even somewhat troubling with Joel
His offense could go away entirely, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Among people qualified with enough minutes by BBR's standards, Oden is #1 in block%, #1 in rebound rate and #6 in defensive rating.
Joel would be #1 in rebound rate if he had enough minutes.
Joel's block rate is good-- better than last year or the year before-- but not as good as Oden's thus far this year.
Oden’s is 7.5 (he blocks 7.5% of opponent 2 point shots while in the game), while Joel’s is 5.6.
That's pretty cool
I didn’t expect that; always seems like Joel comes in, grabs 10 boards, 3 blocks, and fouls out in 14 minutes.
you should do a post on the early returns for Blazers – who is shooting well, Andre’s AST%, fun stuff like that.

Whats the over under that the Blazers lead the NBA in
Blocks and rebounds this year?
by southern oregon on Nov 12, 2009 2:32 AM PST reply actions
Percentage, maybe
I think Oden will lead the league in rebounding someday soon, but not enuff minutes AND our pace doesn’t create a lot of either stat.
they have a chance in blocks, no chance in total rebounds. Offensive rebounds we led last year.
free bayless
zero chance in rebounds, some chance in blocks but the Clips are off to a lead.
In terms of percent of available D-rebs, we’re 5th right now, and 7th in O-rebs. That’s down from last year in both categories.
Nic is a much better offensive rebounder than Travis/Martell/Rudy. His 7% is pretty incredible at the wing.
free bayless
our pace is way, way too slow to lead the league in total rebounds.
We could end up being the best team in rebound rate, but only if we scrap the 3 guard lineup.
I am more concerned about the out rebounding the opponent #s than totals

On the topic of pace, there needs to be a post by one of you smarter, more diligent posters ...
about how coaches control pace more than anything else on the court. I’m too dumb and lazy to do it, so the onus is on y’all.

What he bad at?
Everything?
Soft centers who don’t rebound don’t always work out; crazy but true. He needs to be a PF.
His FT% is good
He hasn’t made a 3 pointer yet, which is funny since he started last season shooting 50%. 0 for 11.
I heard Hawes was coming off the bench
In favor of Sean May? That is curious. I wonder why.
So I imagine Thompson is the center then…
Thompson is doing pretty well
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
And a block
And he gets to the line 6 times a game, which is ncie because last year he shot too many jumpers.
Shooting 43% though
If he’s their starting center, that isn’t good, and shows he’s likely shooting too many jumpers still.
Zero assists the last 2 games
Likely a fluke, but he had a few games in a row of 6, 4, 2, 5, 5, so maybe he’s a decent passer.
Without watching it myself I can’t say.
he's had a really good stretch of games
something like 15+ and 10+ with at least 5 assists in his past 2 or 3

Yeah, compared to last year our offense just doesn't look as good
I think it’ll get gooder though.
And our defense has looked much better, thanks to Greg W. Oden.
we're 15th in effective field goal % (boosted by our 3s) and 16th in limiting turnovers
We are getting lots of O-rebs again, and also getting to the foul line MUCH more than last year. 3rd most in the league, in fact, on a per-possession basis. 17th last year.
we'll get better in the TO area

Oden had 18 points and 11 rebounds in three quarters to lead the Trail Blazers to a 107-84 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Advice: Oden was the No. 1 overall pick in 2007. But he missed his first season because if a knee injury, then was underwhelming in 61 games for the Blazers last season. Against the smaller Timberwolves, he looked like the dominant player he was at Ohio State. Oden commanded double- and triple-teams in the post, challenged shots on defense and threw down dunk after rim-rattling dunk against a Timberwolves team that is looking more confused and overwhelmed by the day.

Against the Trail Blazers (6-3), who embarrassed Minnesota 146-105 in Portland on Monday night, the Wolves let a seven-point advantage slip away with eight minutes left in the second quarter and never led again.

“Coach knows he’ll beat me on the golf course, but he wouldn’t have a chance in the bowling alley, " Paul said.
And player and coach end their assertion with toothy smiles.
This little spat isn’t going to threaten their relationship, which almost seems like it was made in heaven.
The two like to chide each other about their hobbies — Scott’s golf and Paul’s bowling, but that might be their only source of disagreement.
On and off the court, the pair has become a formidable duo. They even appear joined at the hip, a former NBA champion player turned coach, trying to relive his championship past through his young point guard, and a young guard soaking up all the knowledge he can.
“Coach is my guy, " Paul said. “He’s more than just my coach. He’s my friend, my mentor, somebody that I look up to and somebody I have the ultimate respect for. I’m glad that we have that relationship, but we never let our relationship off the court affect us on the court.”

Chris Paul will destroy us like he has destroyed everyone else, and it won’t matter.
Why are we bad on the road? I know we’ve only played cream puffs on the road aside from Houston, but that we’re winning so easily shows we’re playing like we would at home.
Hawks aren’t worrisome! I already have that pencilled in as a probable loss. If we win, it’s great. If we lose, oh well.

Augustin hasn't been good
I can see Felton giving us problems, Chandler hasn’t done much, and aside from Crash they don’t got nuthin’ and Crash is a great example of a star role player who can’t really win on his own.
They've been really bad though
Worst offensive team, I believe, and they ain’t that good at anything.
His first two seasons, yeah
I’d worry more about Crash on Roy than Raja at this point.
Raja was a very good defender and knows exactly what to do on defense, but has gotten up there in years. I don’t think he can handle Roy.
until we actually beat a good team on the road we aren’t good yet. I think it might take us a little bit to get up there on the road.
I think tomorrow night will be an eminently frustrating loss because we should win and will almost win.

Does Burger King have the same lame service in the US?
I had some coupons and I like much of their food, but their service is always sub-par even for big burger chains. Not unfriendly, just dumb and unorganized. The lady was piling up 3 or 4 orders at once, setting up trays but never finishing them. While waiting for the right food to arrive from the kitchen she e.g. could have gotten the fries, but nooooo. Awful. And it’s about the same experience every time I drag myself into one of their joints. I blame that private equity company that owned them for cutting costs on process training.

I once had a girl quit her job at Burger King literally in the middle of my order. She just took off her work shirt and walked out the door while I stood there dumbfounded. Eventually her manager came out when other people behind me started making noise. The funniest part was she didn’t have a car so she was just waiting at the bus stop across the street, smoking. You could see her easily from any part of the restaurant.
This was at the Burger King by Sunset Highway. I believe it is in the same little mini-mall with a goodwill now.

Hollinger PER diem part on the Blazers
For a team that’s allegedly struggling, the Blazers continue to put up some awfully impressive results. Thursday’s rout of Minnesota moved Portland to 6-3 and gives it the best scoring margin in the West at plus-8.7 per game. Early-season losses to Houston and Atlanta currently look much more respectable in light of recent events, especially since the Blazers aren’t the only hopeful contender to show a few warts in the opening weeks. (Witness the struggles of Cleveland, Orlando and San Antonio, for instance.)
Portland also catches a break with the current run of its schedule, one that should help the Blazers get a leg up in the Northwest Division race. With New Orleans and Utah looking unexpectedly crummy, a road tilt in Atlanta on Monday is the only game of the next 10 in which they won’t be favored.
I don’t consider this squad a finished product by any means, and, in particular, I’m not sure the three-guard lineup of Andre Miller, Steve Blake and Brandon Roy has staying power beyond its initial “shake things up” effect. But the hand-wringing in Portland lately is entirely a result of the team’s lofty initial expectations. Not everyone can start the season like the Celtics.

Perhaps as a middle ground, BE could consider a few gameday-thread-only mods… a couple lifers who are regulars in the gameday threads but wouldn’t really mod the rest of the time. Seems that the current mods aren’t gameday folks (as far as I’ve seen at least).

little posters with more post didn’t affect it too much.
anyhow, i will stay to carry on the Woooot Train…
Great advice Timmay
Very cool.
I know folks are enjoying the JD Gameday so I hate being the one to say “come on, guys”. But the truth is, I like seeing everyone in one place. It’s also a good way for newbies and veterans to talk to each other.
Gameday threads have been quieter so far this year. I’m sure they’ll pick up later. I have a slower dual-core machine and streaming is a-ok… the coders seemed to redo the streaming comments so they’re staggered a little more. I’m surprised it’s been rough on your machine, even SO has said it’s better now.
The really funny part is there are folks complaining about the negativity in gameday threads. But it’s probably not as bad as previous years. Except Timbo, who really seems to be harder on Greg than anyone else.

Engineer Scotty showed up last night in the game day thread. I informed him that he nows holds the title. He was pretty underwhelmed. I think he was in shock so I told him I’d ask you to do some therapy on coping with being famous and revered by the masses.

I think the main reason JDers were avoiding the Gameday threads was the rampant pessimism
fortunately most of that pessimism should be gone considering how well Portland has done recently.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
It's still there to some extent
It’ll always be there. I’m sure it’ll pop back up with the next loss (it’s bubbling under with how unhappy people are with the current starting lineup).
Some pessimism is reasonable, of course. But probably the best way to combat unreasonable pessimism is good intelligent conversation around it…. with the JD folks posting elsewhere, the ratio is reduced right now.
Besides, nothing is fixed in the gameday thread if people just go make a new thread when they’re not happy with it. Better to flag posts and mail Dave if you’re not happy with the thread right now. I do understand that’s a painful solution vs posting in a different thread… But if the JD gameday threads continued, they’d get more popular. Then more people will visit them. Then they’ll start having the same problem. So the problem starts anew.
I completely understand the wish for the equivalent of “Gameday thread with people I know and trust” though. It’s natural after a community starts to form. Not sure it’s a feasible concept without creating a level of exclusivity on the site.
A good, sturdy SBN ignore function would render this entire thread moot.
THAT'S IT!!!
You are now uninvited from the JD Gameday thread…banished!

I haven't been around the JD gameday threads
I agree, everyone go to the main page gameday thread. We can’t be cliquish.
Just go make the main gameday threads rad instead of letting the schmucks make ’em lame.
They might get less than a JD, Timmay, but they get that many posts in 2 hours or so. The JD takes at least 3 hours to get a 1000 comments.
I think the gameday threads are awesome
but I have trouble reading 800 comments, and watching the game at the same time. They are both very entertaining, but I have to concentrate on the game. I tend to peek at the threads at halftime or other breaks, but that’s it. I guess I am not a very good multi-tasker.

Warriors will trade Jackson
Coach Don Nelson said before Wednesday’s game that the relationship between the Warriors and forward Stephen Jackson is irreconcilable and that his departure is imminent.
“At some point,” Nelson said, “and I don’t know when, we have to (trade him). He asked to be traded, and we’d like to trade him. That’s if we can.”
Now remembering that they had to trade Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy to get him and the since also shipped out Al Harrington which was a bad trade to begin with, their GM should be a hot candidate for Dunce of the Year.

That's a lose-lose trade.

2. If Phoenix trades Stoudemire, it should be for a young post player and cap relief.

that trade bought them a magical few months, though. For long-suffering Warrior fans… I think they do it all over again.

I learned today a crazy killer is active in my close neighborhood
And a very cold-blooded one to boot. He (probably a male) kidnapped a woman on a public hiking day out of about 500 people unnoticed, dragged her deeper into the woods, raped her, strangled her, removed all clothes and burned her to make identification harder which didn’t work. She only got found 3 weeks later by a hiker with a dog, and the police has only very vague ideas who it might have been. A horse rider has seen someone suspicious, but that’s really not much to work with. A surveillance camera for wildlife also captured someone on film, but that person was cleared.
Sorry about the shooting, a friend of mine was stabbed in Cambridge. All things you can’t prepare for like that suck.

I had a friend shot at Thurston.
Remember when I told folks about the 9 year old son of my wife’s coworker who killed himself Friday? Since then another coworkers boyfriend killed himself and a coworker. 3 suicides in 5 days.
That’s really sad. There was another in a series of student suicides at my school. They all jump from the top floors of the library into the central atrium. It’s very sad, and a very odd kind of social contagion.

You can use cooled small granite stone cubes instead of ice cubes to not water it down

i actually think it brings out the flavor with two ice cubes...
no more, no less.
if you do a side by side, the ice brings at the scent in the scotch
a small sprinkling of water (like from the fingertips) brings out the scent… two cubes makes it a drink fo the ladies (present company excluded NBF)

Sorry. I can’t. I am currently in a mad dash to build a closet.
You only need someone strong on the outside, and an assistant on the inside (unless you are a pro.) The person on the inside can shim and level, while the person on the outside nails/screws. Again, a pro can prolly do it alone.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
put the window up. Get a feeling for the center. Nail/screw in top corner. Do some more centering and leveling. Once level, nail/screw in opposite corner. Finish off with some more nails/screws.
Are you replacing or are these new? I have only done new. I think there is a trick to doing replacements. Pros colapse the existing window by taking it apart, then they cut the fin off the replacement, and they screw through the side of the window frame.
I get the paper, so I don't care!

ok, time for my weekly "live" blog as I listen to the Casey/Dave podcast
Basically, I make fun of things Casey says.
you hyped it up too much
no you’re underwhelmed. If nothing comes up just make up the funny quotes, write what you think they should be saying in order to better entertain you (and us!)
Dave "we look quicker with the 3 guard lineup"
I would like to see a footrace between Andre and Martell. I don’t think Andre would win.
Martell is faster
But with the ball in his hands and cutting, I’d say Andre makes us play a lot faster than Marty does.
Casey says Orlando's the only other team with 2 good Centers.
Cleveland, the Clips, the Lakers (if you count Pau), Boston and Denver disagree.
He is handsomer than....

OT: Is Henry Abbott phased out of TrueHoop (by his own decision, or by ESPN's)?
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop
Look at all the contributors to the right. Or are they expanding the blogging format since a lot of their stuff isn’t enough for a full article, and they can’t tweet anymore what they want?
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Yeah, that “blogging network” idea fell a bit on its face. Not sure if it has driven ad revenue, but apart from the blogs getting a bit more promotion I don’t think it has helped the “TrueHoop Brand”. Arnovitz is a very solid contributor to TrueHoop, but what are they doing aside from doing around the league bullets that they could have done and still do with non-associated blogs anyway?

I was listening to Inside the NBA and they talked to the Suns blogger
He seemed pretty good. Admitted the Suns are real fun to watch but he doesn’t really think they are a championship team. He basically said he’s glad their window is still open.
Another note on Twitter
Content providers like ESPN and the FOX/IGN sites in general love Twitter much more than say Google News, since people will still click through the sent links to their sites. 140 characters is enough to promote a story, but hardly to say all about it. Of course what they don’t love is people NOT clicking through because their content writers already wrote all that is to know in the tweets. Hence the new policy by ESPN.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
I'd argue the blog network has hurt TrueHoop.
Instead of linking to the best content, it’s been linked to the network sites. It was clearly about the money for the ESPN suits.

"Give Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people and to know good and evil."1 Kings 3:9
One account, known as the Judgment of Solomon, has two mothers who came before Solomon to resolve a quarrel about which was the true mother of a baby. (The other’s baby died in the night and each claims the surviving child as hers.) When Solomon suggests dividing the living child in two with a sword, the true mother is revealed to him because she is willing to give up her child to the lying woman rather than have the child killed. Solomon then declares the woman who shows the compassion is the true mother, and gives the baby back to her.

The TNT broadcast team has become nearly insufferable for me at this point. I don’t want to hear Reggie Miller’s thoughts on Lebron’s free agency prospects for 48 minutes. I don’t want to hear that for two minutes.
My team went to the playoffs in my first year.
We can disagree in one thread and agree in another
I just grumbled over here about how it seems impossible that Reggie could be such a good player and such a terrible broadcast commentator.
Then they got so distracted with Lebron that they were missing calls in the game itself. That’s their primary job!

If Paul shows up with a point to prove
we’re in trouble. There is nobody on our team who can check him, Bayless is the best chance, but he’ll see spot duty and if Paul’s on, Rex might look a little less out of it than Blake/Miller, but it won’t make much difference.

Oden's hands were pretty horrible last year. This year (other than the first game), it seems better.

he was also 19 at the time, to be fair
His hands are really good now, and he’s great at keeping the ball high. Impressive player. Maybe the 2nd best C after Dwight. Certainly a top 5 C.
Just pointing out that he is a much better player in what his 5th year?
Than he was in his 2nd,I expect to see a similiar curve with Greg
by southern oregon on Nov 12, 2009 10:01 PM PST up reply actions
sure, he has improved drastically.
Couple things though— Oden as a rookie last year was nearly three years older than Bynum as a rookie which makes a huge difference. Also, Bynum hasn’t really improved that much from his third year— Since that 3rd season, at age 20, he’s been a major force when healthy.
Wake me up when he rebounds and blocks shots like a center.

So much….
Although Bynum going for 26, how often will that happen
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
well he's averaging better than 20/10
and they are without Pau. Bynum’s numbers will drop when he gets back, but the Lakers will get a ton better.
I hope Denver kills them tomorrow
I really do.

fine, it was a plane full of kids that crashed… kids and Lakers (if Kobe’s still allowed near them in Colorado) and the Lakers took all the parachute and left the kids to plummet to their doom.. but the kids ended up OK and the lakers all have horrible Leg injuries from inexperienced parachute landings… HAPPY?

STACHE TIME!
FAIL! 3 fouls, 2 points, 1 board.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Nah
I think the real ‘Stache is proof yet again that Canzano has no clue on the NBA. He wanted us to draft the ’Stache. We instead got LMA and Roy, I’m glad we don’t listen to stupid fat bald columnists.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Seriously, why is Phoenix calling a timeout?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
John Canzano shows us how insightful he is
He’s 21 years old, and Superbad is his favorite movie, too. Anthony Palmer lives with his parents in Northeast Portland, and is a big Trail Blazers fan. When he’s not going to school he works part time with a plumbing company.
I thought of him on Thursday because Palmer is a local college upperclassman who is the same age as the Blazers young center. And if we’re looking for context, it’s worth noting that this is about where Greg Oden might be in life if he weren’t 7-feet tall and gifted with a basketball.
Oden had 18 points and 11 rebounds on Wednesday. For the first time this season he had more on-court smiles (one) than fouls (zero) during a game. And if you’re like me, you spent Thursday wondering what the most encouraging part of Oden’s recent improvement has been.
The points and rebounds are terrific. And the work Oden put in with assistant Bill Bayno is paying dividends. But what happens tonight against New Orleans is going to tell you as much about Oden as you’ve learned while he was beating up on Minnesota and Memphis.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

I don't know what it's code for
Except Canzano is doing two of his favorite things at once, stating the obvoius and making ridiculous comparisons between fans/players.

Yeah, I'm going to attempt to let it go
and just let Dave/Ben and the mods handle it.
You’re Right-The Arkitect
Excellent idea.
Folks, please, if this guy grates on you, write the mods or Dave with your concerns. With all of this chitchat and making the guy the butt of jokes, it’s starting to sound very gossipy and insider-ish and cliquey around here. Not only does Dave hate that, but is that what you want BE to become? A place that is hostile to newcomers (even if it feels justified)? Just let the mods deal with it.
There have been times in the past when a poster got the benefit of the doubt because they were treated rudely by the community, and this is starting to feel like one of those times.
I agree with your main point
but disagree with the application to this set of circumstances. I agree, BE should not be cliquey/hostile to new folks. But to steal and warp Dave’s BE is a community beach analogy, if there were regulars who frequented and enjoyed the beach and some new guy came in, drank by himself and threw his cans down, left the mess for others to clean up, the lifeguards appeared to be letting it slide, and repeated this behavior on a regular basis, I think there would be an issue.

Ya, I understand
I’m not real wild about the beer cans either. At this point, I just think talking to the lifeguards is more productive than throwing stones at the beer guy. I also think the lifeguards are dealing with things, but it’ll take a little bit of time before we see results.

And then, wham, he’s serious and wise, and funny all at once. The next thing you know, you’re smarter than you were when you sat down, and he’s given you something to chew on for the week ahead.
I’m an atheist too, but I’d read his sermons if he provided a link.
I wonder how often he presents his sermons just off the cuff.
I can see him getting distracted by his baby point guard and the Blazers and just pulling up his homilies in the spur of the moment. I bet the church elders are befuddled about what to do with Dave. He’s so beloved by his congregation that they can’t possibly reprimand him and they’re scared to death they’ll lose him.
