i was wondering if Dave's front page post
applied to the JD as well. I decided no, except for the offensive stuff he mentioned.
does it mean we cant say

I'm using a back-up laptop that we've been
keeping in reserve. I’ll be taking the other one to a shop tomorrow hoping it’s a simple fix. It does still work, just shuts itself down at inopportune moments. It’s had a pretty hard life. Hubby dropped an empty cd case on it when it was still new and broke a couple of keys and scratched the screen. He felt so bad he went out and bought me another one but since we’re on the road a lot I’ve just been using the old one. It’s nice to have a back-up.

This is not meant to disparage any religion...
But the worst candy I ever got were called Testamints. They were these individually packed candies with a cross impression in the candy and a bible verse on the wrapper.
Now, I don’t care what religion they’re trying to promote, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Voodoo, Flying Spaghetti Monster, I don’t care………as long as they candy is good. This thing was the flavor and consistency of what you’d find on an elementary school chalkboard. When people ask what wouid Jesus do…..he’d probably hand out Snickers.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Religious kitsch of any kind is offensive to everyone.
Even adherents of that religion, nay, especially to adherents of that religion. It’s proliferation is due to people thinking, “what’s something cheap I can give away to people to tell myself that I’m advancing my religion, despite whether or not it does.” “Testamints” are an excellent example of this. Because, you know, puns are the most effective way in which people will take you seriously, followed only by sarcasm.

The “bread” and wine at communion aren’t exactly good recruiting tools either.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Reminds me of the styrofoam peanuts that Taco Bell serves.
Except without the cinnamon and sugar. That, of course, isn’t the point of communion, but it’s amazing how “cheap” and “never-expire” play into the equation when trying to take care of important things. I’m all for using a real matza-style bread, fresh baked only hours before. But that’s more expensive, and it goes moldy or stale too quickly. So I’m likely to get voted down. :(

Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
Looks like my apartment gets finally sold. Woot woot.
Which is good news, since I hated having to invest so much time in repairing some things that usually isn’t even the problem of the renter, keeping everything absolutely clean and tidy, showing people around, etc. since the summer. And guess what, just after my landlord lowered the pretty ridiculous price by like $25,000 there instantly were two people who wanted to buy it within a week.
And the new buyer sees it as an investment, which is also good news for me since I don’t have to search for something new, pack our stuff and move out in the next 3 months or so which while not a huge problem would still be a lot of trouble. This way I can wait until next summer/fall, or whenever I might take a job with a different company. Now the only remaining problem is if the old landlord leaves some of the “old” furniture in it and the new one buys it, or if I have to buy some of the stuff that is too much trouble to replace, or something like that.
And just today I found out that the same couch he claimed is worth like $3000+ over the summer was advertised in a spam newsletter from a local store for $600. Brand new. Looks just the same, same size, only slightly darker color but probably also available in the one I currently have. LMAO.

I like this quote regarding Oden on Sunday
Shameless link to my fanshot about Quick’s article on Oden
It was so startling, so different, that Roy and Travis Outlaw were taking turns imitating Oden’s deep growls at teammates during the game.
“TRAV! KEEP PLAYING! COME ON!” Outlaw said, mustering all the baritone he could from his stomach.
“MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS; LET’S GO!” Roy said, his voice deep and gravelly.

Dave's front page post: 8 simple steps can help you to be the change :-)
Step One: Establish a sense of urgency (they might kill the junk drawer!!! Or ban more edgy posters that make the site fun!!!)
Step Two: Form a powerful guiding coalition (the JD coalition for community)
Step Three: Create a vision and strategy for change (the junk drawer is among the best features of BE)
Step Four: Communicate the vision (everywhere, but don’t swear)
Step Five: Empower broad-based action, remove obstacles (mods)
Step Six: Generate short-term wins (Prez is on our side)
Step Seven: Consolidate gains and produce more change (more junk, good clean junk)
Step Eight: Anchor the changes/new approaches in the culture of the organization (multiple junks per day)

I hope they don’t kill the junk drawer. It is a great place to hang while waiting for Blazers news.
Was he referring to the JD or was it a generalization?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
i assumed it was a generalization.
i’d hate to see the JD go. That’s pretty much what i hang around here for. the conversation in here is much better and some of it is even basketball related.
I discussed it briefly with our Spanish friends in last night’s JD. We all thought it was rather a reaction to the game day threads where swearing and attacking came back. But I would have to give him that the junk drawers did get a bit off too at times recently. And since his vision for the site is about basketball, mocking each other and talking about edgy things might not fly that well (see what Section323 recently said). And I can understand how someone who only occasionally reads the site wonders about some of the things we say to each other inside and outside the JD. Blazeraddict calls it “Jordan rules” in a comment in Dave’s post which is a good point. Some people here are “grandfathered”, and I could imagine that some of the stuff say Mortimer jokes about occasionally would other people get warned or banned because the mods and Dave while maybe not appreciating them knows some remarks are in jest while other don’t really know.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
To be clear
The “Jordan Rules” are a good thing for the Jordan’s of this site – a group I put most of the JD regulars in. The problem is when you get the DeSahwn Stevenson’s of the world thinking the superstar status is their right as well, which creates a mess.

i think the biggest issue
was the discussion on “mints”, a week ago or whenever that was. Which, in my opinion, was not appropriate. But that’s the only thing that really stood out to me. Everything else seemed pretty par for the course.
yeah I doubt he was specifically talking about the JD
especially the part about “we are here to talk about the Blazers”
Although the reminders on some of the language being used here, that could have been intended at us.

I heard he was mad about you talking about your landlord issues
There’s no reason to share such private details about your personal life, Norsktroll.
Well, my landlord doesn't care about basketball, which is just a horrible personality trait. So there.
And if he would, I’m fairly sure he would be a Lakers or Knicks fan (he sometimes produces in NY).

(I think he was talking about the arguments and mean talk that sprouts up after losses, and even our bad wins, in the gameday threads and post game threads and elsewhere)
(Even though it came a lil’ after I shared something from my personal life, I don’t have a big enough ego to think it was about what we say in the JD (as long as it is otherwise within site rules). I doubt he even read my thang, or most of what we say here. It’s what mods are for).
Can you link Section323's comments or are they gone?
Also, I actually think the Jordan Rules of BE should be removed. I know it would cost a little personality, but I really think the people in question would adjust fairly quickly.
I know I’m the total exception with that opinion.
On the other hand, the site would have much less color of bball-only talk was allowed
The JD would cost the site a fair amount of personality if it was removed.

I didn’t see much of it myself, but I have come across a few things where I thought Dave wouldn’t smile upon this if he would see it or someone forwarded it to him. I think she is a pretty good barometer since she isn’t new to the JD or prude but also doesn’t hang there every day.

content improvement:
Per Dave’s fire across the bough, let us take the opportunity establish other principles for improving the dialogue here at BE. What Dave was trying to say in his post, was “I’m going to champion the subject matter issue,(Only talk about the Blazer players)—see this as the bar, and pick up a cause.” So let’s lay the ground work here: The subject matter police is taken care of. I’m pretty sure DS/Marvin has the ’their vs there" issue under control. I for my part, will hear this call and act accordingly:
Please refrain from all uses of adverbs. In an attempt to make this site great, I hereby plead with you, clean up your language, find a better verb. Example: instead of saying “blake ran fast down the court” find the better verb, “Blake sprinted down the court”. Take this moment to reflect optimizing your gray matter.

yeah. that's really annoying.
i wonder if there’s a way that can make a link open in a new window no matter what. that’d be nice too.
I fear more mobile commenting and "interactivity" by cross-linking to SBN front page and blog content
Where is my iPhone again? (Btw the Suns and Clippers site have their own SBN iPhone app. BE could be in line for that, too)
I hope for something that makes the sidebar more accessible, like posts that can be deemed “sticky” by Dave and Ben for a while, better rating of comments a la Digg (e.g. burying something stupid instead of outright having to flag it), etc. Optimized code that loads faster. Seeing if there are new comments in a post on the frontpage and sidebar as if you are inside of one without having to reload the whole page would be big, but probably not in the interest of SBN (page views). And maybe a new FanShot interface (dream). Beveled buttons also don’t really help me, but maybe it looks nicer.

Yes, it sounds like it. And only to replace really vet refs and in the first 3 months of the season, so not that a crucial call gets blown in the last phase of the season when teams fight for final playoff positions

i finally just had to tell myself
that the officiating was never gonna be good. The best I hope for is it’s called both ways.
The biggest issue I had with the replacement refs wasn’t that they made bad calls, it was that they called so much stuff. They ruined the whole flow of the game. I’ll take poor officiating that lets stuff go over poor officiating that calls absolutely everything all day.
The officiating will improve
once we bow to our Robot overlords and allow them to call the games… Robots are incapable of judgement errors

Food for the conspiracy theorists
The 2002 series certainly wasn’t the first or last time Bavetta weighed in on an important game. He also worked Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers. The Lakers were down by 13 at the start of the fourth quarter when Bavetta went to work. The Lakers outscored Portland 31–13 in the fourth quarter and went on to win the game and the series. It certainly didn’t hurt the Lakers that they got to shoot 37 free throws compared to a paltry 16 for the Trail Blazers.

The stuff posted on the website rings true to me
or at least plausible.
"And in the end
The love you take

Which is the problem that makes it murky
Those are all games fans of various teams suspect they got the short end of the stick. So if Donaghy fuels those feelings, obviously some people will say “see, I knew it”.
The investigation turned up no other refs behaving illegally. Now we can say “ha ha, of course it doesn’t turn anything up since the NBA fixed it”. That’s about as easy to argue against as the NASA moon landing conspiracy. Mythbusters is trying to investigate it? Ha ha, but they had NASA support, so obviously they are just a part of the cover-up. And so on and so on.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
I agree that actually proving any question activity is nearly impossible
Unless another ref has reason to turn over on others.
I’m still surprised that the NBA doesn’t actively work with bookies in Vegas and the like. The tennis orgs have a great relationship with them and it has helped both sides.
Almost forgot.
Every day that the NBA doesn’t make a true effort to make referees independently accountable is another day that hurts their credibility.
It’s very frustrating. I want to be able to trust the refs.
exactly.
if the NBA stepped up with the transparency, that would go a really long ways in repairing perception.
That is kind of funny
Stern’s un-waivering defense of his referees has possibly led to this “we are bigger than the game” mentality by the refs.

Well, their long term ratings is on a nasty little slide.
Look at the ratings table on the right.
They’ll never blame the referee problems of course, since they state there are no referee problems.
Coincidentally, one of their lowest ratings periods came the season after the 2002 WCF.
i stopped watching the NBA all together
after the 2001 finals. didn’t watch again until a scant few games after LeBron came in to the league. Then steadily picked up from there. Portland getting BRoy didn’t hurt. :)
+92
Additionally I heard someone make a fabulous point that it almost doesn’t matter if it is true or not…..the fact that people believe it is possible is really bad PR for the league
"And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make." -The Beatles
I think the league is hoping it'll just go away
The fact that the primary sports reporting outlet is ESPN, who has a contract with the NBA, could be a factor. You never know.
The sad thing is the NBA claims the refs are heavily metricized and evaluated and everything is transparent
Teams also have a channel to complain about issues. What is lacking is transparency towards the fans.
I have to say I was surprised the NBA admitted one of the refs blew the call in the last playoffs on Wright vs. Melo. That was a positive step. They would really build more trust if they came clear about which refs were investigated for mistakes, or if they would just put a segment on NBA TV where some supervisor explains the rules behind calls and if those calls were correct or not.
I know a soccer league that did this, to great effect. Usually the supervisor vigorously defended that the ref couldn’t see it better, but occasionally they also criticized a decision. That really helped a bit after they also had a betting scandal.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
yeah, I agree Norsk.
Any sort of step towards explaining things to fans would be great. Or even if the refs were allowed to just say, “you know what, I blew the call. It was my mistake. I have to do better.” Just like Ed Hoculi did last year in the NFL. But to just pretend it’s not happening is an insult to the fans.
Does the NBA make referees available to interviews with the media? I don’t think so. Some soccer leagues do, although of course they can say “no comment” and just wait until the formal investigation is over.
I have to say since I follow the NFL more this year I’m usually impressed by what those refs see in real time. Slight grabs around the waist, where a player went down, what part of his body was down, etc. Of course it helps that they can fall back on replays and that they know exactly where the play will start, but overall it’s still high quality officiating.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
They don't make them available
Referees are strictly off-limits from taking responsibility for calls after the game.
You missed some of the NFL’s bad years. Replay has helped a bit.
no, the NBA refs aren't available to the media
as far as I know. But they should be, that’s what i’m saying.
I have to resist a nasty comment about the NBA
When it comes to why they’re not available after the game.
I’ll be good.

"I never give in to the temptation to be difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That would be too ridiculous"
Jacques Derrida
Real NBA officiating is just as frustrating as Replacement officiating...
…but the flow of games is far, far better now than it was during the preseason. Sure, some of that has to do with it being the preseason in the first place, but most of it was just the replacements trying to justify themselves being out on the court.
The fact is, refs are still going to favor some players over others. Smart teams know this and make it work to their advantage. Roy’s really getting good at using his driving ability along with the proclivity of refs to give guys like him the benefit of the doubt when he says he’s hacked.
Sure, it didn’t look like that was the case towards the end of the second quarter last night, but it certainly is going to make a difference as the season progresses.

I was really tempted to eat it.
for some reason I thought you lived in North Portland
what (approx) part of Alameda are you near? I’ve been running across Alameda in the 20s and 30s (streets) a lot lately. I live up near Alberta.
A little further out, closer to Cesar Chavez Boulevard
Alameda is a great street to run, walk, or bike on. I like doing a loop that includes the top of the ridge (Alameda), then the base of the ridge (Wistaria et al).
A few years back I rode my bike to work
along Alameda and down the ridge at Wistaria.
My path’s a little different now. It’s a nice area.
Funny that kids come from other parts of town to trick or treat. Apparently they come down from my street. I usually get fewer than 10 kids.
I will now have to eyeball all the people I see while on Alameda.
I'll be the woman wearing black and red
Yeah, we get vans and vans full of kids. It’s rare that I actually know a trick-or-treater. It’s a trip. Have you ever seen that house on Alameda with the over-the-top decorations (around 50th)? I have a friend who lives three doors down from that house, and they get several hundred kids every year.

No offense to anyone, but every gay friend I have who stays skinny because of coke has that waifish thin Durant body.
No muscle tone, just skinniness.

That waifish twink look ain’t too healthy.
Now obviously KD isn’t starving himself to stay skinny like they do (giving you that super soft, no muscle tone skinny look), but it’s just so weird how bad his body looks… development wise.
Yeah, because he is dumb, and saw Lebron working out and finally linked the two
I never got that story. So, you’re saying he is a world class athlete, surrounded by top trainers since HS, and he never knew lifting weights made you stronger till he saw Lebron doing it?
He clearly does not lift weights. I dunno why. And if he DOES lift weights, then his physique is hopeless. I know Texas does not make their players lift weights, and actually discourages it— LMA had a very skinny build as well. He corrected it quickly, like most NBA players do.
If KD has been lifting weights, which I assume would be for the first time, then he got nothing from it, and I’ve never seen that. The first time you hit them seriously, you get the most dramatic results.
It is crazy to me how bad his body looks. It’s such a soft skinny, I simply don’t get it.
That is a normal KD game
NOT the bad shooting part, but he’s a mediocre rebounder who gets more than normal because they got no other good boarders, and he rarely passes.
I watched him so much last year, and it was so obvious he was not a good offensive player outside of scoring, that I always seem like I am bashing him because he got way overrated on the offensive end of the floor.

Has he been a very good scorer without hitting the weights?
Yes, of course.
But he won’t be able to get an inside game or be able to handle any physical perimeter player, ever, if he doesn’t get stronger and build upon his frame.

I don’t want to put bad mojo on anybody,
But if anyone looks like Sam Bowie, it’s Durant. And if anyone goes down with a freak broken ankle (or something like it), I put my money on Durant.
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 dunno about all THAT...
…he’s had some normal NBA injuries (turned ankle, etc) and Bowie was a special case where his body just kept breaking. Both he and Durant are skinny, but they haven’t had anywhere close to the same problems.
Neither have Oden or Bowie, of course. Bowie doesn’t relate at all except he was a Blazer.
I do think of one isn’t as strong as they should be, they are more prone to tendinitis and get bumped and bruised a lot more. Without a strong core, several injuries can be much more severe.
Deep in your black evil heart, you know it.
I’ll share my voodoo doll wit ya.
Really though, I’ve always felt that way about Durant. No he hasn’t had the issues Bowie had. With Bowie it could have happened at anytime, fate just brought it to him early rather than 5 years into his career. Hence, I don’t rule out Durant because he’s made it through a couple seasons. But maybe KD will have some time to gain some strength. I really don’t think his poor bench press is all related to strength, but more due to his body style. Any guy with that small of chest and arms that long is going to be a lousy bench presser.
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 don't really care about his bad bench in the pre-draft
I’m talking about his current physique, his muscle tone, how lean he doesn’t look, etc.
Bench press doesn’t mean much for the NBA, and yeah— the skinnier and lankier you are, the harder it is.
Right, gotcha
Yeah, the bench press thing doesn’t mean anything, just like many other parameters they measure. With out looking it up, I have a feeling someone like Kidd did poorly in many of those measurements.
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."
With Kevin Durant, he's more likely to have a majorly freak injury like Shaun Livingston.

It’s been announced recently that an epic movie based on the life of the prophet muhammad will be produced in the near future. The movie will be respectful of the prohibition on producing images of the prophet, and may become, therefore, the first movie whose protagonist is absent for the entire film. I’m actually thrilled at the idea. How great would it be to make a movie in which the life of a man is told only when he isn’t there? I hope this is what they decide to do with it, rather than a series of uninventive obscuring camera shots. How many movies would be made better with this technique? Imagine It’s a Wonderful Life without George Bailey, or Casablanca without Rick. What movie would you like to see re-made in this way? I’d like to see Harvey without all the annoying rabbit bits.
My upstairs neighbor threw a firecracker out her window last night when the Yankees recorded the final out. If the series ends tonight, I fear what she has in store.
Off to class.

"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Miller's Crossing is great too.
I think No Country is my favorite because I think it’s a perfect movie. But Fargo is probably the one I’d choose if I could only have one of their movies to watch for the rest of my life. I don’t think I’ve seen one of theirs I haven’t liked. Can’t wait unitl thier latest is out in wider release.
Yeah, If I absolutely had to choose
a favorite it would be Fargo. I can’t wait for A Serious Man. I don’t think it has any of the usual people in it but the trailers look great.

Might be entertaining but a bit disturbing. Like Garfield minus Garfield.
You could of course talk about any major character in a movie in retrospect, like his friends or enemies remembered the person. Gone with the Wind from the perspective of one of the minor characters might be nice. Jaws really completely without the shark, just like at the beginning (a lot of horror movies go bad once the “evil” is revealed – especially if it looks like a cheap special effect). James Bond without James Bond. The possibilities are endless.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart

There are at least two things NBA fans have come to understand:

If you accept those to assumptions, you’ll enjoy the game much more.

That's why it seems cliquey.
Like Ashley said, we are paranoid when new people start commenting here because of the whole troll that wouldn’t go away thing. I wonder how many people have actually been scared away from the JD because of some of the things that are said. Especially with all the inside jokes and stuff.

Are we talking about his game reviews? I don’t understand why anyone would really complain about it.
If you don’t like the sidebar pushing out good posts, can’t the preferences be adjusted to allow more posts?
Sass started doing those when the pre-season games weren’t televised. Now that they are on TV (for many people, but not all) there are commenters being rude to him.

that movie kinda funny because the murder case is ridiculous, at least in my mind. No reasonable judge would convict someone off of such circumstantial evidence.

Yeah, I would assume a lot of non-Blazers fans share those views. Though he did practically crown him the winner of last night, but doesn't see him on the same level as Howard and harder to defend Bynum.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Bynum is a lot better offensively. He actually has a turnaround jumper and turns it over much less.
Oden is a better rebounder and likely a better defender also. Fouls are what’s killing him, as we all know.
In any case, Timbo was a lot harder on Oden that was necessary.
Which post is Timbo's stuff in?
Or was this just about last night’s gameday thread?
I’m so behind on BE reading.
Oh man. I can't imagine anything posted to SSR (by Timbo or otherwise) ever stating that Oden is better than Bynum.
Which leads us to the inevitable conclusion as to the content of the piece.
I undersold his defense a little, for sure, but he's still robotic and slow on the offensive end.
Bynum had a bad rebounding game, but LO was there to crash, so no worries.

And it seems like you, DtL, are trying to throw us off your scent!
i'm not saying they're clean.
i’m saying i don’t feel the need to mess them up. the reason dudes tend to pee on stuff is cause sometimes that stream starts flowin’ in unpredictable ways.
I know what you mean, I too subscribe to the, "Let's pee in the toilet and not break stuff" school of thought.
The stuff I’ve seen in bar and dorm bathrooms has scarred me for life though. I’ll never trust other dudes to care for a space where there are toilets. I think a public space with toilets is just going to get wrecked and disrespected to a point where even a robot maid won’t want to touch it.

I'm alright with this as long as they don't mess with the Winterhawks.
It just seems like every time any suggestions for updates to the Rose Quarter are proposed, they start with outward gestures towards co-existing with the Hawks, yet they always seem to end up being ideas that would force the team out. I really get the feeling that Paul Allen doesn’t want any hockey in either building whatsoever.
What he doesn’t seem to get is an NHL team would wildly successful here in Portland. It’s his money, so he doesn’t have to spend a dime if he doesn’t want to, but he’s wasting a golden opportunity to help build more goodwill towards sports in this city. Which, if you’re paying attention to the Timbers’ stadium saga, seems to be lacking quite a bit.

they should get some kind of flex ticket system in place
If the attendance is a certain percentage of total capacity (say under 60%) then you can move to a better seat after half time if you purchased a “flex” ticket. A flex ticket just has an extra fee (5-10 dollars? I don’t know) that allows the holder to move down.
The team can make a little extra cash and the fans can get better seat after halftime.

They shoulda done better since they’re gonna end with a better record than us, and they were at home, right?
He uses LMA's deal as a comparison for Rondo's
Compare Rondo’s deal to other PGs, like Devin Harris. I believe Rondo makes more than Devin Harris now.
Rondo's deal is fantastic for Boston.
An absolute steal compared to what we gave LA.
The league overpays bigs in general, which is pretty dumb.
In general, yes
I would say it’s more just unfortunate that the market for bigs makes it so ya gotta overpay ‘em, not that it’s dumb to do so… someone will pay it.
If Rondo can play his same game for us than he does for Boston, yes, he is worth more.

Plus they won’t really outspend us anytime soon. Of course, if there is a true game changer available in the lottery, that changes things.
I really don’t think the Knicks will be too bad though.

that's fine. I think his posts are good, especially for a 16 year old.
As I understand it though, one of the main points of having mods was to limit people posting 3 straight fanposts. So, people should flag the post as spam, explain why you are doing so (in the message to mods only, not right on Mike’s post) and let the mods take care of it.
I'm done sniping at people. It doesn't do any good.

wow Crash is owning
20 and 15 in that low scoring a game is impressive.
Also, Brook Lopez has struggled since his monster 27/15/4 on opening night.
He's been doing well, double double usually with steals or blocks. Just terrible if you need assists and threes

KP passing the buck?
@pdxtrailblazers
KP: "I believe we have the right players. Now we need to get our players right.
From a job security perspective, that gives Kevin Prtichard leeway with the Vulcan, Inc. crew if the ...
team underperforms the next couple of seasons. I still think in the back of Prtichard’s mind he’d like to put his own stamp on the coaching staff, as he wasn’t the head honcho when Nate McMillan got the job. So, if Pritchard 100% authority to call the shots on the head coaching position, I bet he’d hire Mike Budenholzer, who’s a Gregg Popovich disciple.

Posey looks like he aged 3 years in the offseason
by southern oregon on Nov 2, 2009 7:03 PM PST up reply actions
Posey was bad last year also. He looks done.
They drafted a solid backup PG in Collison, but instead are playing an undersized chucker in Bobby Brown. Peja is past his prime. David West is good but not all-star good (despite what the voters said the last two years). They have one awesome player in Paul and two good players in West and Okafor— neither of whom is a #2 guy on a title team. Beyond that, they are very shallow in talent.
The Hornets
are another team that could really benefit from being crappy for a year or two, to get someone worth Paul’s talents.
I like Okafor, and West is ok, but you’re right— it’s a stretch to see them as a #2 on a title contending team, unless their role players were just gangbusters. But even then…
they desperately a good wing player to go with CP3
Or they should just blow it all up and trade CP3 to Portland for our picks and young talent ;)

oh that's true
it just seems like it’d make more sense to have rested him awhile ago, and have him actually start game 7, even if he could only go 4-5 innings.

You guys all got what I meant with the "Jordan Rules" comment, right?
I tried to totally clarify it earlier, but I was slammed at work all day. In the spirit of JD openness, I’ll out that I’m a lawyer, so some days can get crazy. Love having an I-Phone so I can B-Edge when I can during the day :).
Anyhow, I meant what I said in Dave’s post, there is the potential for confusion when new users see the tenor of conversation between people who know each other very well and try to duplicate that tone in post #3 of their BE tenure. But another equally important point is this: to get the benefit of the “Jordan Rules”, you need to be a superstar. If someone performs over time, they’ve earned the benefit of the doubt. The regulars on this site make it what it is, and that is a very good place to discuss basketball and all other things.
The JD is a cool place, and the spill over into the main page is usually positive. It was kind of a trip for me when I first started using BE, it seemed like everybody knew each other, but if you make a positive contribution, people appreciate it and before you know it, you’re in the flow of the discussion like that.
Just wanted to make it clear that I wasn’t going after the JD and frequent posters. That would be pretty hypocritical given how much time I’ve been spending here lately. Anyhow, just wanted to make sure nobody took it the wrong way, I was a little worried that was happening when I read some replies to what I said.

they are also playing Noc and Udrih off the bench, ahead of Casspi and Sergio in the rotation
which is also dumb, IMO.
Casspi has done well with minutes as well, ain't he?
I think, like it sometimes does, the bigger contracts are winning out right now. Gotta get a return on the payment.

Ok, I’ve never read that, but I sort of expect what it was going to hold. It reminds me of something I once wrote about, from Eliot:
This is a partial quote from T.S. Eliot, from "Philip Massinger" in The Sacred Wood:
One of the surest of tests is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good ones make it into something better, (that) welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn
You’ll notice in the second part, he returns to this concept of an immature poet. I’m not sure what you’re looking at, but I think the quote above gives you a good idea as to the key to putting the historical together with the individual to make something new.
Do you have a specific angle to approach this with? I’m gonna have to run soon, but if you need help or any help with this, or that dante stuff or greek drama, let me know; I should be around all day tomorrow.

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
both are pretty huge ifs
I don’t like the chances of either happening, but you are quite possibly correct.
He's just not a dominant player
Just a good player.
Doesn’t bend the game to his will on either end of the court. A very skilled, very good, non-dominant player.
T-Mac was a great individual player a few years ago.
He's just good
And why, even when healthy, the Rockets are a solid 50 win team and not a great team.
He hardly ever takes over games, he doesn’t take over the middle, he’s a very skilled, good center who doesn’t dominate. He’s a weird player.
Yao is very good but not great.
How many times have you watched the Rockets
And thought “Man, Yao totally took over the game on the [insert defensive or offensive] end”?
He had a very nice game against us in the playoffs, but I wouldn’t say we lost because of Yao. We lost because our key players played poorly and their perimeter defense was very good on Roy, and ours was bad.
Their role players were tougher/played better than ours as well.
When/if the Rockets keep doing well, I think it proves how good the role players on that team are, not that Yao is a dominant player.
I think he's a co-star
A very good B-player.
Soft and non-dominant when healthy.
Morey shoulda’ sold high.
But I guess Morey is just a GM
Who can gather great role players but not build a championship ballclub.
haha
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
I think you are wrong here
I think Yao will come back and this team will be really good next year. Like title contender good if TMac can give them 75% of the old TMac.
And expecting Yao's feet to be okay...
…there is structural problems there, much more similar to Bowie than what Oden, Bynum or other bigs go through.
His feet bones can’t handle his body weight. The same bone has broke over and over.
Morey hadn't had enough time to get all those good role players
like get rid of Rafer for Brooks and Lowry, and get Hayes and Scola, etc.
Plus, under Morey, there has never been a playoff run where both Yao and TMac were healthy. He was only hired in May 2007.
I would trade KP for Morey for sure.
Too soon to tell
KP’s built a great young team, Morey built a team run by role players and two fragile (and I think flawed) stars, neither have accomplished much in the post season.
Both need to do more.
I have no faith in both of them being healthy long enough for them to make a title run
one of them, maybe…
but it’d take em both for them to seriously contend

Kings closing the gap- within 1
“Hawes is a lot more mobile than Marc Gasol”

I dunno, Jerry.
Is Marc moving well this year?
I wouldn’t say Hawes is super mobile, but he isn’t heavy on his feet like Gasol was last season…
If Hawes was bigger/stronger
How he moves would be more of a plus, because he does sorta move like a big man but isn’t very big…
Gasol is big, and moves big, so it fits.

Judging by Damon's comments in the pre-season
It doesn’t sound like Memphis is totally sold on him. Or maybe they project Mayo as a 1. Either way, I think Conley will be a solid NBA PG for a number of years. Plus, if we get Conley and Greg re-united, it is on

Just a thought to ponder:
We picked up Rudy with a #24 pick (via Phoenix) and Aaron Brooks went #26 in the same draft – so we could have had Brooks if we wanted.
Now, having had time to see where both currently are in their careers. Do you do the deal for Brooks, or do you stay with the Rudy pick.
I have my reasons, but I stay with Rudy on that pick.
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."
Brooks went that late?
I thought he went much earlier… weird…
tough call, but now that Rudy has worn the rose red, I hate to think of him anywhere else
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it
I think I'd hate Rudy if he played for the Rockets
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

I’d just be really really upset Portland didn’t take him at 24

a skinny, crafty Euro who flops and shoot 3s lol.
I’d dislike him greatly, especially since “the legend of Morey” would grow even more if he had taken him at #26

after watching that manu catching a bat video
i got an idea. That should become a new test at the combine. It takes a lot of hand eye coordination and good reflexes. They test the players ability to hit a bat when put into a room with one. Maybe it already is a test and they just don’t talk about it(which would explain why blair fell so far in the draft)

I'm certain a league wide memo has gone out
due to the risk of rabies infection or vampirism players are not allowed to catch bats

I must say I didn't think Budinger had it in him to do this
I thought he was another Josh McRoberts— someone with the tools to dominate in college but never did. Budinger appears to have really put it together though.
no he just cant be #1..
they forced him to be that at AZ..
in the pros he can play off others.. remember when he was projected to be a top lottery pick? He had mustafa shakur and marcus williams, then jerryd bayless and jordan hill
when he had to carry the load when Nic Wise was the PG, he didnt play as well.

Jeff Foster has always been a decent high-post facilitator, which is one of many reasons ...
as to why he’s a solid 5/4. At the 4, Foster can set hard screens up high — similar to what Joel Przybilla has done in short spurts with the “Twin Tower” frontline — though, unlike the “Vanilla Gorilla,” he can also work the high/low game well by dumping the ball inside, roll effectively off of picks, and occasionally pop out for a mid-range jumper.
As much as I love Przybilla as a backup 5 to Greg Oden, he’s strictly a 5. Rather than chuckers like Travis Outlaw, over-the-hill has-beens like Juwan Howard, or untested rookies like Dante Cunningham and Jeff Pendergraph, the Portland Trail Blazers could’ve really used a guy like Foster. Alas, Kevin Prichard just doesn’t get it.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.

They wanna keep the guy who has been on their team his entire career and they love as much as we love Joel.

my biggest frustration concerning a player this year is not Andre’s play, not going inside to Greg… it’s us just leaving Bayless rotting on the bench.
I am so frustrated with it. Let the kid show that he can play at the NBA level. With Rudy, Roy, and Dre creating, he can play a lot of pure 2 and score. Put him in, Nate. Please.

It is what it is
I wonder what would have happened if he had played NCAA one more year and been in a weak draft.
by southern oregon on Nov 2, 2009 9:23 PM PST up reply actions
he’s shown flashes of defensive potential and has worked on his shot considerably… He actually wants to draw contact, wants to push the ball, is always aggressive. Play him over Steven.

a trade really needs to happen IMO
Steve and Travis would really release some of the “rotational congestion” on this team. Like an instant “Ex-Lax” for Nate :)

For all intents and purposes, Kurt Thomas is a realistic option.
Yet, with Nicolas Batum out, trading Travis Outlaw for Thomas would require a subsequent move to shore up depth at the 3, although Paul Allen’s demand to keep Patty Mills over Ime Udoka before the season began put the squash on that.

Sergio has the worst PG insintcts
I’ve seen in a while, shoots when he should pass, passes when he should shoot, except when Rudy was involved.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I've said this too many times
But I liken his passing and assist totals to being similar to a very nice dunker… awesome to watch, but does it help you all that much?
Well, it helps more than just a dunker does, but you get my point.
This is how bad Sergio is
He’s not even in the rotation for the WORST TEAM IN THE NBA!
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
As SI put it
On a halfway decent team, Martin would be only the fourth or fifth best player.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
He's definitely a co-star
A very good scoring co-star, but a co-star… mainly because he doesn’t do much else.
I’m not sure why he shot that last bad shot. Bad decision.
Because he's playing well

My bet is the Sacramento Kings will try to build around Kevin Martin the next four seasons.
That, however, won’t work unless the Kings get some actual post production — which’ll never be provided by the ultra-soft Spencer Hawes — thus, my guess is that the folks down there are screwed until further notice.
Dear Paul Allen:

Well, they're gonna get another nice lottery pick again
If they can draft an A-level talent, Martin will be a good co-star.
they could have used Griffin this year
Favors or Aldrich could be pretty good…
im not sure about real post presences this year in the vein of Howard and co though
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
They just need talent anywhere
Either they’ll force Tyreke to be a PG or let him be a SG/SF, but in general they just need talent wherever. If they can get another possible A-level 1/2/3, that’d be fine too.
Just someone to be their Roy.
A Jason Thompson and Derrick Favors frontline might function, but Thompson ...
would need to strongly defend the low-post. I doubt he’s capable of doing that on a consistent basis, though.
