Disgusting Roommate story: Freshman year, came back from a party

open the door turn on the light, and the roommate is passed out naked with some form of yeti (also nude) snoring next to him. Needless to say, I slept on a couch in a friend’s dorm that night and within two weeks had traded roommates with another guy in the hall who was having similar “issues” with his roomie. UO Hamilton baby, those were the days…

not personally

he was making some terrible jokes on the radio today, about how much cheaper it was to buy ammunition than taking your pet to the vet. It was totally tasteless, and over the line, and I don’t think the other guys on the show even thought it was funny. Bow was commenting about how disgusting it was in the other JD, and I’m guessing he emailed cip?

I just don’t know why… I’ve never heard them say anything insightful. The interviews can be good, but only because of the person (KP, Nate, etc) they are interviewing saying stuff… not their questions or insight.

I heard him on the way to work this morning. Honestly, I think they need to break up Gavin and CIP. Gavin knows his stuff, but he goes into shock jock mode a lot when Chad is egging him on. Put somebody else with Dawson in the morning and have Chad play the foil for Canzano so I can avoid them both

Chad in Portland

from the worlds worst morning sports radio show here…. he or one of his poser buddies made a sick remark for no reason this morning about buying an ammo pack to kill sick pets. It was another example of the tasteless and gorked “humor” delivered by the show. I sent him a email saying how distasteful it was and he sent me a snarky email back which included a dinner invite.

It sounds like Nate is at least leaning toward starting Miller

and if he’s not Brandon’s personal caddy anymore, Blake is useless. Bayless and Rudy would be a nasty up tempo backcourt, especially if you have #25 running with them too. Have Rudy run the offense in the halfcourt, and let Bayless guard the PG and attack the rim. I hope Bayless seizes the opportunity and rips Blake’s job/minutes, and it starts in practice.

i think you might be overoptimistic about Bayless.

he’s shown no ability to run an offense. He’s just an undersized 2 guard. and those guys don’t generally take games over. unless they’re AI circa 2001.

by DrivetheLane on Nov 5, 2009 9:40 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe

but he doesn’t need to run the offense to be successful in Portland. Rudy and/or Brandon can and already do do exactly that for stretches as it stands now. Bayless needs to be able to guard the PG. Keep Martell or Rudy on the court with him for shooting/floor balance. I think this could work

I hate Comcast.
Card carrying member of Team Bayless
I believe in Greg Oden

by blazeraddict on Nov 5, 2009 9:42 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

to me it seems like if the PG doesn't actively run the offense

in this system, all he needs to be able to do is hit a 3. And Bayless doesn’t do that. At best, Bayless could be Andre Miller (attacking the rim) without the passing skills. I’m also not sure why people think Bayless is a defensive asset. Blake and Miller aren’t good, but has Bayless shown he’s better?

by DrivetheLane on Nov 5, 2009 9:44 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I think the lack of 3 point shooting from Bayless

would be a non-factor as long as Rudy or Martell is on the court with him. I’m mainly looking at Bayless’ physical gifts (great quickness and strength) as my reasons for thinking he could (can’t say “is” until he does it) be a good defender. Especially in a division where you have big, physical PGs like Williams, Sessions, Billups, and Westbrook. Of the 3 palyers who can guard the point, Bayless has the best physical attributes for defensive purposes. Offensively, I see him as a Westbrook (best case) or Lou Williams/Monta Ellis type attacking the rim. Rudy and Brandon are both great facilitators who can make things happen with the ball, let them do that for the minutes Rex is out there.

It’s a real long trip on the subway, but I’ve been a couple times. The food there is really good and I like the beach there better than the other Brooklyn beaches (Coney is awful but everybody knows that). I have a friend that speaks russian and when she goes I ask her to take me with, just because she gets better service and knows what to order.

Why? Are you from around there? Family there?

Part I

I forget the total chronology of these roomate events, but let me try and recreate them

live in a house with 5 other people. One of the roommates has a cool girlfriend that he takes for granted, so me and my other roommate E, start hanging out with her to the extent that we take her out for valentine’s day as her BF is too busy. A communal girlfriend, if you will.

communal girlfriend breaks up with our roommate so now it is on between E and I to jump on it. First opportunity is a group outing for St Patricks day, but I am feeling hella sick, but I feel I have also put sometime in on this one and dont want let E get the upper hand so I go along. Crappy night that sees me getting into a fight with a patron and a bouncer at Kell’s, followed by me throwing up for hours on end in the bathroom while E makes out with communal girlfriend, and turns communal girlfriend into his his girlfriend. Meanwhile, it turns out I have pneumonia and spend a couple of days in the hospital.

I will update this with part II when I see fit

there is literally nothing DWill is better at.

Adjusted for pace, Paul gets more assists, more steals, more rebounds, more points (and more efficiently) and turns it over less.

Statistically, there is an enormous gap.

Didn't know about the rebounding

I think williams could score like Paul, but again, Paul needs to go 25 and 15 nightly for NO to win – and more often than not he does. I think I am mainly impressed with the way Williams quarterbacks the Jazz, he’s an extension of Sloan even in ways that don’t show up in a stat sheet. Complete control of the game. I’d still take Paul 100 times out of 100, but Williams is a strong #2 at that position.

It was a bear playing baseball on the cover

I could hardly read the inside through the tears in my eyes… but it was something about “Have a bear-able Birthday”

To be fair I was 8 years old

I’ve been a man for a while now.

If my experience “bears” out, the card had a giant 4 on the front.

That’s right son, two hips REPLACED.

And you know what? She calls to complain about it ALL THE TIME.

Sniff

That was her favourite double entendre :-(

That one was on purpose

It’s similar to those people who liked to be strangled during it.

The trick is to break the hip at the exact right moment.

he will never be a good defender

He is already a top 5 rebounder per minute in the NBA though, and an efficient scorer. A fantastic guy to have off your bench. Worthy of a top 15 pick.

total… for the whole season?

I am undecided as of yet… if we become the running team that people keep saying we want to be, then it could work ala Frye as a C in Phoenix…

And Frye was ploooooooding

He still isn’t a good runner, he hits jumpers in the halfcourt set.

by Mortimer on Nov 5, 2009 10:26 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

just like Travis?

Why don't some people still not accept that fact?

If coaches have control over anything on the court, it’s pace.

As history indicates, Nate McMillan dictates a slow-paced offense.

I, too, like slow-paced offenses, although I prefer one that relies more heavily on pick-and-rolls — particularly with the 4, though — and plays ran through the pivotman when he posts up down on the low block.

I still enjoy the occasional iso run by the 2, long-range bombs by the 3 and 1 from kickouts, basline cuts by the 3 to the basket, et cetera. First and foremost, however, is that running the offense through the interior is of the utmost importance

Dear Paul Allen:

Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

that coaches can change their style to suit the personnel they have on the floor

I think you put that question mark in the wrong place.

Nate had very different personnel in Seattle than he does here

and he runs the same system. Nate either has no desire or no ability to adapt.

by jksnake99 on Nov 5, 2009 10:46 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I'd go with "no desire" in this case, but it still baffles me ...

that many people don’t realize how pace is literally the one thing that coaches have control over more than anything—even personnel.

Dear Paul Allen:

Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

rotation?

by The Arkitect on Nov 5, 2009 10:48 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, because injuries can affect a team's rotation.

Again, coaches have control over their team’s pace more than anything else on the court.

Dear Paul Allen:

Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

Take all of Howards minutes thus far

Blair would be playing like 35 minutes a night thus far, with Oden and Joel’s foul probs.

Deron is like 2 strands away from a combover

Very dangerously combover-esque for a NBA player.
