Just Another Junk In The Wall: 11-18-09

The original intent
This post was an idea I had many moons ago to give a shout out to the JD crowd.
I didn’t mean to leave any junkers out, but this avatar collage is from about 2 or 3 recent JD posts, and I’ve seen several additional avatars since I put this together.
The Current Mood
Since that time, multiple fanposting has been a recent topic.
Some have suggested that a JD pushing good posts to the bottom is the same as someone putting up 3 posts in a 24 hour period, and pushing good posts to the bottom.
This is a thought that should be considered, since it would definitely be a double standard for a hardcore JD’er to criticize (albeit even if constructive criticism) others about multiple posts.
I have posted in another thread a couple comments why I don’t feel the JD is on par with multiple fanposts. Rather than reposting those arguments, I will just make one more solid argument in defense of the JD at this time.
PPLLFFFFFTTHHPPPPHHHLLLLPPP (Think “All In The Family”. Archie, with just oh so little tongue sticking out making the infamous fart noise. The end all of every debate, because no one yet has been able to refute it)
Seriously though, I have thought about it – here’s my final answer.
I think the JD in general represents far more than what is pictured here, but let me say this, when the above 75 people put up 3 posts in a 24 hour period (JD or otherwise), then I’ll buy into the argument that a JD is on par with multi-posting. YES THAT’S RIGHT, 225 JD POSTS IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD.
Waxing philosophical
I thought the Junk Drawer was a silly idea when I first came to BE. But now I realize it’s more like my house. SO firing up the BBQ in the backyard, tih pooping the dog in the frontyard, Roybot thumbing through the photo album, prez won’t come out of the bathroom, etc. etc. and all the while many things are discussed, basketball and other, but the next game is on in an hour and that’s what we’re waiting for.
How many times has cablinasian (and many others) waltzed into the JD and said, "I want to talk basketball." I really wish cablinasian would do the Tango once in awhile....uh, not sure why I said that. To go OT (even though it be basketball) is frowned upon in someone else’s basketball post. Not to mention the breaking non-Blazer related basketball news that is often posted in the JD, where should most of that be posted if not in the JD. So one could very well argue that the JD prevents rabid fanpost delirium by virtue of the fact that many OT topics would find their way to the sidebar, as many already do.
To say "Did you even watch the game" could be close to a ban offense outside the JD, it’s friendly banter in here. Yes, I must say, I love the casual, nonchalant, carefree attitude that usually runs through the JD thread. Getting to know Blazer fans in the JD environment has been one of the most satisfying aspects of joining BE to me. And quite frankly, I thought I’d never say that. And one more thing, PPLLFFFFFTTHHPPPPHHHLLLLPPP

Corvid,
Of course without question, I knew you were one of the people on the other side of the argument before I added the dialogue that went with this post. And this indeed gave me a great deal of pause, to the point where this was almost just a collage and nothing else post.
Looking back, I’m glad the discourse was included. I already knew you were good people. But the fact that you can come here and give me some praise for this effort in the very post where I take the other side of the argument proves you are more than good people. You are one special person. I love you girl. You are one of the people that makes BEdge exceptional.

Sorry, I’m at work and can barely finish a thought.
We all could use a lot more of this kind of attitude. Sure you had no problem with it, but many would have.
One of the things I miss from childhood is a couple friends I grew up with. We could fervently disagree on any given subject, and not once did any of those strong disagreements ever diminish our friendship, (The two closest friends I ever had). Not once was anything ever mistaken to be a personal attack. Because of the openness of those friendships, I was able to persuade and be persuaded on many things. And when neither was able to persuade the other, it was always respected.

rec for "we could all use a lot more of this kind of attitude"

Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
You guys have been far too generous towards me already today,
but if I have ever put up a comment that deserved to go green, it’s the one about 3 or so above this one. So when you get back from the game tonight – make it green.
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'm checking in during the half
The comment 3 or so above yours is Mort’s “Corvid is a raging B when she disagrees with someone and never forgets it.” That made me laugh bunches, and I recced it.
Well it was 3 above at one time.
Sorry about the secret identity thing. I created fiercecreature when I was still a little new. When I saw mercury for the first time in the thread I immediately knew it was mort when another poster wasn’t sure. I thought I would give her a hard time and see how long it took mort to figure out it was me. Then the identity thing broke out in a big way. So I used him sparingly. I never liked Blazer1342 and almost changed to fiercecreature way back then.
Which brings us to now. I have never asked for a rec on somebody else’s behalf and thought after I posted what if nobody rec’s it. The thought of asking for a rec and nobody rec’ing which could then possible make someone feel bad made me panic. Having fiercecreature get the rec’ing ball rolling seemed like a good plan.
Now it’s so far up there people might not know which comment I was talking about.
I still really like the fiercecreature name, but I’m Blazer1342 forever.
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."
Well, now I'm a confused
But anyway, if you’d prefer to be fiercecreature, why not go for it? Just put something like “the poster formerly known as Blazer1342” or whatever in your sig for a while to make things clear.
No it’s all cool, really.
It’s just that 1342 is so unimaginative, but in a rush to join I didn’t consider long term ramifications of this is who I well be known as. When people change their name it gets confusing. I like knowing who I’m talking to. The screen name is not big deal to me now.
It originally was supposed to be Blazer1342dunk (with Oden at the 5) symbolizing some good passing between the positions before each score. But it was too esoteric and I knew nobody would get it, so I chopped it instead of coming up with another name.

I CAN, actually, defend not getting CP3
Of course, it isn’t me defending not getting one of the top 3 players, it’s what has happened since.
We draft CP3, that means Nash and Patterson look smart. Might be YEARS before we realize they are dumb and bad at judging talent. KP goes to the Thunder or something.
Roy isn’t drafted. LMA is a Celtic or something lame. We got no shot at Oden, we’re almost in the playoffs.
And we’d almost be in the playoffs for the next decade, much to Paul’s chagrin.
HAPPENS FOR A REASON, KBP.
It’s funny because I know you’re joking.
And if you’re not joking, it’s funny because your own joke made you its scapegoat.
For one, it was KP’s idea to draft CP3, so had we gone with his pleading his case instead of Nash’s aggressive mediocrity, it would have already been a signal of the sea change that eventually occurred and gave us the wonderful team we now enjoy. Would we have Roy? Eh, probably not. But we would have the same brilliant GM and CP3 to boot.
Quadso Ipsum Facto.

I don't think KP becomes GM
For realz, if we draft CP. And then ensures surrounding CP with mediocre players.
We were assured of further mediocrity, maybe even the team moving, if we didn’t make KP the GM… a guy who could engage our owner.
CP is the right call a million times out of a million, but the wrong call led to other goodness accidentally.
It’s not defending the pick of Martell, it’s saying “well, it worked out”.
Yes, it all worked out in the end, so it’s hard to complain, but CP with a bunch of mediocrity certainly seemed to work out in NO, and if PA listens to KP and not JN (bleh) than how can that be anything but a sign that JN’s days are limited? At the very least, if JN retains the name of GM, all of KP’s suggestions will be taken under advisement and acted on, after the home run that CP ended up being. In fact, isn’t a portion of the legend of KP that he preferred CP and tried his darndest to get the guy?
Did you like the acronyms, because they really bothered me quite a bit towards the end.

It wouldn't necessarily be PA listening to KP
We only know KP wanted CP3 because he is now KP the GM… I’m sure a lot of the other scouts and front office guys wanted CP3 too. They could all claim to be the ones pulling for him.
No matter what though, he’d be “Nash’s” pick. We only place importance on KP wanted CP3 because of all that has happened afterwards.
It all worked our here MUCH better than it did in NOLA, and I bet we’d be a worse version of NOLA. That’s not that much fun.
I’d rather be awful, than mediocre with no chance to get awesome.
Regardless of injury worries or culture bullcrap, there were two real concerns ...
surrounding DeJuan Blair.
1. Blair’s man-to-man interior defense isn’t up to snuff.
2. Blair, who relies heavily on low-post scoring and getting garbage put backs off of offensive rebounds, would be a mismatched pairing on offense with Greg Oden or Joel Przybilla. The San Antonio Spurs, however, have Antonio McDyess as its backup 4 on offense and the backup 5 on defense, who provides a more balanced skill set to pair with Blair.

"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Back to the Atlanta game for a sec:
That one foul where somebody came over Rudy’s back kind of using his shoulder for a launching pad, and then Oden went to the line. Did the refs see something else on that play, or did they just totally blow the call.
I’m also a little surprised, Oden is showing a little choke factor near the end of the game at the line. I think this is the second time he missed 2 free throws.
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."
It looked like, after he used Rudy for a springboard, his arm hit Oden in the head
However, the foul clearly should have been with the contact to Rudy, which came first.
Yeah this is the second time,
But it will probably pass as he gets more comfortable at the line
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
He choked twice now
But overall, he’s shooting very, very well at the line… especially for a 21 year old raw big. No reason he can’t be a 70% shooter at the line for his career, and possible even better.
I'm hoping for 80 percent

True story. I used to go shoot clay pigeons an outdoor shooting range near my house. It was the same range that the local police used to shoot. I was talking to the owner one day, and told me if I ever ended up getting shot at by one of the cops, I should just run straight for them, cause they would everything except the target. He called their ability to shoot accurately “pathetic”. Dumb cops…
RUDY > MJ
gotta wonder
how the owner considered your potential to start a sentence with “if you ever end up getting shot at by a cop”
hmmm
You raise a good point. But in all reality, I was shooting some pigeons with him and my bro, and the cops were on the pistol range. He just felt like making fun of them…

I'm more with Nina Berman on this one
The Newsweek cover is a shrewd strategic maneuver to demean Palin without having to take responsibility for it. I think it’s brilliant. They take an inelegantly, even laughably propped photo where Palin is an obvious participant as opposed to being a manipulated subject, and recontextualize it to show how far out she is willing to travel on the road of self promotion. They beat her at her own game and in the process shield themselves from what would have been the inevitable criticism if they had dolled her up themselves and posed her the same way.

Yeah
There was no reason to use that photo. They should have used the book cover. You should read the comments on Berman’s blog. They are lame.
I'm very embarrassed, but I agree with her
they wouldn’t have shown an equivalent picture of a male polititian who is talking politics.

Who knows, Newsweek made O.J.’s skin darker for a cover photo to make him look more like a big black bad boy. They are notorious for creating controversy like that.

i guess it's merely disrespectful in general
and borders sexist because they thought it appropriate to run a serious story with an out of context photo of a woman dressed in exercise clothes. Pretty stupid on her part to take it knowing well that this might happen.
There are a ton of photos of her looking ridiculous when trying to look like a stateswoman. TIME had a photo where she looks aimlessly into the woods, with purple toe nail polish. It’s really not that difficult. Or the photo op from last Thanksgiving where a turkey gets killed in the background. Too funny.

But she's not a senator
She’s just a private citizen that wrote a book. A former half-term governor (let’s think about THAT one) that is working the publicity machine for all she can get.
It would not surprise me in the least if it was her camp that suggested that photo just so they could have a controversy. Cuz nothing winds up the base like a little “trash from the liberal media”.
There is no way that photo does anything negative for Palin. It keeps controversy going….and that is her friend. The longer she stays in the piblic eye, the more copies of her book she sells, which gives her a bigger base for any future political ambitions.
Additionally, she’s now been on the cover of Newsweek 3 times…well byond the “quota” for someone of her accomplishments. The current VP, someone with a long career in the public eye, has been on the cover once.
Sorry….I just don’t see how the Palin camp can complain.
It reminds me of Rupert Murdoch complaining about how Google News rips off his company by showing headlines from his properties….even though he know he can stop it by telling his companires to change their stupid robots.txt files on their websites. He wants the traffic, as well as the complaints, because it keeps him in the news.

Interesting note from Snopes about turkeys that receive the presidential pardon:
The National Turkey and the Alternate National Turkey (in case the national bird can’t fulfill his duties) both receive pardons that spare them from becoming anyone’s dinner and go on to live out their natural lives in petting zoos or on farms.
Just what are the duties of the National Turkey other than not being killed?

Roy: I’m into bowling. That’s the game I play the most outside of basketball. I don’t play much dodgeball anymore. [laughs] I don’t think the Blazers will let me do dodgeball.

We had about five or six people per team, and of course, my team came out victorious. I like bowling. I don’t get as much time to do it as I’d like, but I love to compete.

Re: the JD hubbub
I really don’t get the deal… what is the problem? Is it that off topics comments are still making there way into the basketball related fanposts? There’s not a problem w/ the JD itself is there?
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
I think Corvid made a comment in an AS post that multiple JD's in a day push down just as many fanposts as multiple AS posts
She’s right. There should probably only be one JD a day. The multiple JD’s was in the off season and before the latest overhaul so it’s probably a mooch point.

Locking down the Caribbean drug trade certainly forced things west but it's the Mexican government's inability to fix the root of the problem that perpetuates the violence.
Drug problems are merely a symptom of a deeper social disease.

I disagree
so long as the drug trade is worth in the neighborhood of $50 billion annually to the cartels, there will be incredible amounts of violence and corruption. I think Calderon has done an admirable job on his end…but honestly, what is the solution if you’re some mid-level government official with mouths to feed and you’re contacted by one of the cartels. They say, “You can either take this large sum of money to look the other way/give us these permits/whatever it is, or we’ll kill you. And we’ll kill your family. And we’ll do it brutally.” And they’re not bluffing. Even if you’re Honest Abe, what do you do there?
The Mexican government is doing a lot more on their end than we are on ours, IMO.

I'll be honest, legalising many drugs and turning them into legitamate businesses instead of organised crime syndicates would remove nearly all of the problems of the drug trade.
Of course, governments have problems legalising harmful, addictive substances even if the people are accountable for there own choices and if a similar drug already exists on the market (tobacco).
Stationing troops in Juarez and Michoacán is not the solution when the majority of individuals turn to the drug trade due to the lack of jobs and the extreme cases of poverty in regions. La Familia and other cartels aren’t always seen as the problem here by the locals. Corruption and poverty are.

at first
i didnt think it would last, but with outlaw out, i think he is kinda forced to stick with it. rudy will probably have to stay with the bench unless there is another viable offensive option that emerges.
i could picture martell moving back to the 3 to allow brandon to play his natural position…but that would be dependent if martell can become more consistent.
at this point i’m close to wanting to put the 2nd unit on a hiatus and tightening the rotation down a bit until we are a little more healthy.

I think we're LOOKING to push more though
There’s no way to statistically verify that, but it seems like we’re getting quick outlets and guys up the court rapidly MUCH more often this year than last year. We’re pulling it back and setting up a lot (hence why we see only a slight change in # of possessions used) but it seems like we’re trying to run more, even if we don’t have the execution down pat yet.

Another explination for the change in # of possessions
is that the Blazers aren’t as strong on the offensive boards this year so far as they were last year. More offensive boards=longer possessions and thus fewer possession.
Ahhh, that's a good point
I had always thought that offensive rebounds gave you a NEW possession, so our pace numbers were even lower than they would lead you to believe at first glance. What you’re saying makes more sense.

Here is the formula for pace
I think that while the numbers show a slight quickening of pace it isn’t clear whether it is due to changes in rebounding, or if the Blazers are actually trying to play faster.
They certainly "feel" faster, sort of
I haven’t looked at stats, but it sure seems like there have been lot more fast breaks this year.
look at sacs numbers
i can’t seem to make sense of it. they are top in the league in terms of offensive rebounding yet are in the top 1/3 as far as pacing…the suns are basically near/at the top in both.
meWOW
by Philthyanimal on Nov 18, 2009 12:06 PM PST up reply actions
Here is how I think about it
Each team has some inate pace that they play at. The Suns play fast, the Blazers play not so fast. Regardless of their offensive rebounding or turnovers, the Suns are going to play at a faster pace than that Blazers.
When comparing year to year variations of teams, then the offensive rebounding numbers become important to see if teams are truely playing faster (i.e. putting up more shots earlier in the shot clock) or if there is some other factor involved.
not all offensive rebounds are created equal
Some result in immediate putbacks, or a quick kickout for a 3. Many of our O-rebs turn into another full use of the 24 second clock.
Also, teams like Sac have enough very short possessions— quick shots, turnovers, etc. that they still have a fast pace.
Words don't mean anything if there's no action behind it.
At any rate, though, I prefer a slow pace, so I’m cool with Nate McMillan in that regard.

Also, a good LCD is way more energy efficient.
I'd be really surprised if you had any problems gaming with an LCD
In fact, some LCD’s have a gaming mode to make sure there’s no delays.

Samsung makes a pretty solid LCD TV
And Amazon typically has very good pricing on Samsung LCD’s, often with free “white glove” shipping, where they’ll bring it into your house, unbox it and power it up, and make sure it works before they leave. They don’t do the actual cabling or mounting (but they will place it on a platform if you have one).
Before buying, if you’d like to check specs on the TV, including real world specs like power usage, crutchfield.com is useful for that research.
LED backlit LCD’s are typically lower in power, but they’re newer. So their technology is still in progress a bit, and they’ll tend to be more expensive.
Don’t forget to check Black Friday ads (many of them are already up) for any deals if you’re up for the hassle.
Yeah, most of the actual panels are made by a small group of manufacturers
I forget who they are. Samsung is indeed one of the panel manufacturers, I think LG is another, I forget the others.
And of course, regardless of panel manufacturer, the warranty you get depends on the brand. For example, you might consider just getting a cheap Vizio and calling it good, but you’ll want to read this, then the update a week later.
Oh yeah I forgot at Black Friday
that may be the time to get them.
Thanks for the advice.

No problem
There have been news stories that LCD’s from something like 26 to 42 inches will be priced well this year. Here’s one of the articles about it.
If you search for Black Friday ads, there’s already a bunch of the deals listed so you can plan it out and check reviews in advance.
Cloudy, if you're willing to wait about 45 days or so....
consider buying in the week betweem Xmas and New Years. Typically hte lowest price by a percent or two.
I’d agree that Samsung makes very good TVs at a reasonable price. Truth be told, there is not a LOT of difference between major brand name sets. One thing you can do is go to Best Buy or someplace like that and simply compare TVs side by side….find a couple that look good to you, then go online and price check.
There really is no issue with plasma burn-in anymore….that was earlier generations. All decent plasma screens now guard against that. LCDs have also come a long way in upping their ability to handle fast motion. The key there is to get one that refreshez the screen at 120hz.
Our experience was that Amazon, which quite often offers a free shipping option for their bigger TVs around the holidays, had the best prices. But your mileage may vary.

We have an older model rear-projection LCD TV here
It’s showing its age, it’s only 720p, there’s no HDMI, two bulbs have burned out, and it’s too dim to use in the mornings… but there’s no LCD in that size range! And they closed out all the DLP models.
All in all, it’s hard to complain because I can’t replace a big TV though.
Also, elevation seems to matter. If you're over something like 6000 ft.
you should choose LCD instead of plasma.

3) The English being utterly depraved and/or conscienceless
4) A rolling shot of the foggy hills and dales of Scotland

I think Dave was trying to get to that in the chat
The issue isn’t positive vs. negative
it’s that both positive and negative too often end up leaving negative in their wake. Somebody will say something critical about the team. Somebody else steps in and takes offense that the critical thing was said and declare how annoyed they are by the negativity (which, by the way, is not at all "positive"). If the original negative guy was a troll then he’s won because that’s what he wanted. If the guy was just frustrated and being critical now he’s been attacked by someone who has taken offense at him and if he was feeling a little frustrated and negative before, now it’s escalated. Sooooo…fight fight fight, blah blah blah, Internet Squabble #52B complete with Accusation #4 and Rebuttal Q5 none of which really brings anything insightful or worth reading and all of which amps the tension up to the point where it’s no fun to participate. In my view little of this has anything to do with the team or fandom.
That said, we’re only addressing that in a general sense. There will be more specific things coming too.

Is anyone else pissed off that KP drafted Bayless instead of Roy Hibbert?
The Blazers could have used less assets and traded backwards to get him, instead of moving up to get Bayless.
Hibbert is currently 4th in Hollinger’s PER’s. He was drafted at 17 by the Raptors and traded to the Pacers. He would have been the perfect back up banger the Blazers need.
His PER is better than pretty much everyone.

In the NBA Today podcast Hollinger convinces himself that the only reason the Blazers signed Miller was because they had to spend the money and had to cash it into a trade asset. Then he brings up Batum’s and Outlaw’s injury and says Miller is likely to be traded. It’s around the 25 minute mark.
Ben mentioned that some GMs were spreading that rumor a while ago. If I was an opposing GM and heard a major acquisition of one of my rivals was disgruntled with is role, I would be spreading such a rumor, too. What is correct is that the Blazers had to use the cap space or lose it, so they used it.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
I don't think it is that far fetched
Miller simply isn’t a good fit in this system, and Nate has show a lot of resistance towards changing his sets to take advantage of Miller’s skill set. I think Miller could be playing much, much better than he is, it just might not happen on this team…

You know who a surprisingly large portion of a fanbase wants to move and who we could use?
Jameer Nelson
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
So we could have an injured reserve at every position?
My team went to the playoffs in my first year.
You will never get a star in mint condition in his prime. They will always come with ugly contracts attached, injury concerns, character concerns, etc. Just a thought that I haven’t heard mentioned around here. And Magic fans are pretty down on him, yet there is no doubt in my mind that he is a close-to-all-star point guard.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
On what are you basing this opinion about the fanbase?
"One of the bright spots of the young season has been rookie point guard Jonny Flynn, whose name sounds like he should be the lead character in a Broadway Musical. "What are you doing here, Jonny Flynn?"

Comments in various forums from different fans that e.g. suggested the Magic should have moved him for Sessions repeatedly, and this tweet from plugged-in Magic blogger “Ben Q. Rock”
The calls to trade Jameer Nelson, which started early this season, have gotten much louder today.
Seems like a sizable percentage of the fanbase wouldn’t be opposed to such a move. How the front office sees it stands on another page, but they seem inclined to bring in other help while he is out which they shot down in the past. Not saying a trade will happen, just picking up on some talk that isn’t heard here a lot.

sarcasm aside
I’m surprised they are playing Bass so little after paying for him in the off season. They even had Lewis out for 10 games and an injury to Anderson (the guy who started over Bass).

Anderson fits into their system far better than Bass does -- which is why he was starting over Bass

Troy Murphy fully practiced on Monday but still hasn’t been able to get his legs and conditioning back after taking a full week off to rest his back injury, leaving his status for Wednesday against the Knicks in doubt.
Wednesday’s game preview on NBA.com doesn’t even mention Murphy, which hints that he is still not ready to play. He did say this prior to Tuesday’s game. “The problem is it was my back so I couldn’t do anything for like a week so the legs and everything, this being the first day back, I’m just trying to get my legs under me, just happy to be out here.” Hopefully we’ll have some more news prior to tonight’s game against the Knicks.

NOLA attendance crap.
The averaged 99.6 capacity attendance
That ain’t bad at all. 16th overall attendance, 7th in percentage of capacity they had.
i was thinking of the season they played the spurs in the playoffs
Before the lease was amended during the 2007-08 season, the Hornets’ attendance ranked 29th in the 30-team NBA with an average draw of 12,202 fans in 18 homes games. But attendance has skyrocketed since then, as the team managed to end that season with an average attendance of 14,181, or 26th in the league.
winning the division and averaging in the low 20s for attendance is depressing.

wouldn’t they be better off trading it because they already have a superstar PG? I imagine there are a bunch of teams that would pay a pretty penny to get Wall

I think Wall ultimately will be a player like Dwyane Wade, people compare him to Rose but I see more Wade in him. At any rate, both him and Williams can play SG. And of course they don’t have to get #1 for this pick to be trouble, a quality center like Cole or a guard like Warren or Aminou would also help them.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
Yeah adding Willie Warren or Aldrich would make that team really talented.

His greatest skill is scoring, and he is a quality rebounder, shot blocker and passer to boot. Somewhat like Roy or Wade, just a little smaller.

Wade has about a 6'11" wingspan though
Enabling him to play much bigger than his height.
Similar to Tyreke.
Wall has freakish athleticism, as is evidenced by his youtube videos
Lots of people are comparing him to Derrick Rose, which at this point makes more sense than Wade IMO.

2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
He was the PG his rookie year
The real de facto PG. Also, he played only PG for that bad Olympic team Larry Brown coached.
The same as Roy, they decided they’d rather have a guy he can give the ball to so he’s not bringing it up the court all game AND scoring and everything else. Let him choose when to do so.

I remember Wade carrying that Marquette team on his back into the Elite 8, but I was too young to care what Miami did with him…
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
also IIRC
Wade didn’t play the point for his team at Marquette. He was a 2 guard for Marquette like Brandon is for Portland now.

The Utah Jazz would be best off getting the #3 pick and then drafting Cole Aldrich or Evan Turner.

Which potential lottery team would be best off getting Wall?
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
Sacramento would be killer with Tyreke Evans at the 3, Kevin Martin at the 2, and John ...
Wall at the 1; yet, the Kings are looking too good currently to get the #1 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.

Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

last night the password guy asked everyone repeatedly not to share the password on the OGDT
which invariably led to it being broadcast on the thread
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
That stuff is the most annoying new trend on the game day threads
PASSWORD! FEED! EMAIL ME! Horrible. As if the league couldn’t shut down that feed without having the password.

Usually the mods are responsive when that happens
It often won’t happen until after a given game though, since the threads go so fast.
Dave made it clear on the front page that heavy negativity isn’t ok, which should help out.

E.g. on Moneyball people sometimes ask for links (to adthe or justin) during game day threads when they come in late, but that constant LINK and WHAT’S THE PASS??? was really really becoming annoying. I wouldn’t ban anyone who just wants to watch the game, but it needs to get reigned in somehow.

earl boykins is a pimp
i wonder how he’d defend peirce on the “series 13” play or whatev. lol

mike miller and earl boykins have some good chemistry going
miller does make one want a SF that can handle the ball and pass well, oh wait, roy is our “SF”

Actually, Brandon Roy is strictly a 2 on offense.
Mike Miller would be outstanding as a sixth man in Portland, although Rudy Fernandez is already here filling the role that I’d envision for him.

A rebuilding team like New Jersey could take a low-risk shot in the dark by trading for Joe Alexander.
http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5290456
The Nets have a sizeable trade exception and could easily clear up a roster spot — such as by releasing a scrub like Jarvis Hayes — so giving Alexander a go might be worth it.
