Coming home from vacation this year I stumbled across some of the best advice I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
While passing through Salem it was evident most restaurants would be closed by the time I reached Portland, so I took the Market Street exit and headed for The Olive Garden.
I was eyeing the Five Cheese Ziti Al Forno when the waitress asked me if she could get a drink going. I said “Sure, I’ll have some ice tea please.”
She then proceeded to tell me that she was from Texas and that her grandmother had taught her how to make the best ice tea in all the world.
Those who have a hard time following the complexities of elaborate recipes may want to skip this part and get straight to the junking. But if you read on, don’t blame me if your brain melts down into a pile of dodo bird droppings.
She said, first you put the ice in the glass and then you add the tea, always do it in that order.
And that my friends, straight from the heart of Texas, is the secret recipe to the best ice tea in all the world.

I’m pretty sure that girl has another job, as well, and I work with her.

She had a lot of advice and all of it was just about as profound as the ice tea.
I would have asked her to quit talking, but I was too entertained.

I used to visit Roseburg a lot, had a friend who lived in Winston and worked at Roseburg Lumber.
I was in Roseburg on the fourth of July the year the fireworks got real interesting and started firing off from the ground in all directions.

Blazers were in a similar position last year and went on a pretty decent run about this time. 13 out of 16 I think? Blazers will gut one out tonight. They’re close to putting it together I think.

PoliSam had a good comment a couple days ago.
In the first 3 games we had more combinations of 5 men on the floor than any one.
40 or maybe a little more. The most any 5 players had played together was a little over 6 minutes. Nate is probably tinkering a little and with a deep bench you’d expect more rotations. I think most of us were expecting a slow start, but I also think we expected to win even before we gelled.

I also think we expected to win even before we gelled
I agree. But even in our losses, and playing poorly, we’re not getting blown out. They’re close games, which is encouraging. I think the tinkering will be over in a few more games.

I’m hoping by the quarter season mark we’re looking like we did at the end of last year.
A little sooner is not going to hurt my feelings. But man, we had some games with excellent ball movement, no hesitations, crisp passing. It was some fun stuff to watch.
.
That sweet pass Miller fed Greg at the rim was nice. I didn’t even see it coming – had to rewind on that one. I liked it because it was in traffic – that’s what we need, moving the ball in the rush hour traffic.

And then he goes on to say he " Wants to come down and borrow Antonio’s shoe shine box." I think this ranks up there with the worst things I have ever heard on radio, this week it’s like people have thrown all of society’s rules straight into the garbage.

You have CIP and Dawson (who is the lesser of the two evils and can actually talk straight up sports) trying to do their best blend of Jim Rome and Howard Stern, and missing horribly on both marks. The end result is a mess of a show that encourages callers to try and top the idiocy of the hosts, so you get all kinds of racist/misogynistic comments.

Yeah, that sounds dumb. I often wonder how these guys get their job.
I remember that Marconi loser on 94.7 had that fat guy, Tiny, as his side kick, and he was basically mentally handicapped. They did something they deserved to be instantly fired over— playing the audio of Daniel Pearl getting beheaded by terrorists and laughing during it.

Marconi was a DJ in Eugene who got fired for doing something stupid.
My girlfriend at the time had a pops who owned some apartments and she lived there rent free as the resident manager and she was always having to deal with him because he would leave threatening notes on peoples cars for parking in his spot, even though there were no assigned spots, because there was a boatload of parking there.

That seems to be a common complaint.
Ironic that Season 2 was the most watched year of the Wire.
I thought Season 1 was the weakest simply because they spent 4-5 episodes establishing who everyone was in a giant environment. Once you learned who all the players were, it never let up.
Season 5 had moments where you could just feel David Simon’s bitterness towards the newspaper industry, and it really hurt the theme.

roommate stories carry over
I had a roommate that was always tripping, literally. He would stand up from his desk, take a step, and then he’d fall over. He would also forget (i guess) to step up onto the curb, he’d just run right into the sidewalk curb and fall. He would also step into puddles and fall.
Other story, I lived with a bunch a dudes in this apartment off Barbur at the Terwilliger curves. My neighbor was packed to the gills with all kinds of guns. Anyway, one night we had some girls over, and for no apparent reason, one of them starts dancing and removing clothes. Her friend cautiously joined in. One of my roommates put his hand in a place he should not have, and everything stopped. They wanted to go home, so they left. About an hour later there was knocking on my door. Two frat DBs were there with axes, knives and bats looking to defend their girl’s “honor”. My neighbor came busting out of his apartment and he kindly asked them to leave. One of the guys started approaching him with the axe raised, and my NB pulled out his nine and pointed it at his head, and threatened him. Both guys dropped their stuff and ran off our front porch. My NB called the cops cuz anytime you pull a gun, you need to report it. Before the cops came, he changed his hollow points with legal bullets.
Lots of other “if you pass out with your shoes on, then you are going to get clowned stuff” One guy was completely covered in skateboard stickers.

A friend in the navy, who grew up in NY City
Said there was a special ed adult on his block and would stand on the corner and say, “I’m the Fonz,” and point at himself with both thumbs. That was pretty much all he did all day to folks who walked by.
My navy friend said, kids would walk up and get into argument with him by saying, “No, I’m the Fonz.” I don’t think picking on special ed people is funny, but I think the idea of a kid and a special ed guy both saying, “No, I’m the Fonz,” back and forth for way too long, kind of funny.

He's certainly playing with a lot of confidence, but his shot is way off so far.
Bulls are going to be a bottom 10 offensive team unless Kirk and Salmons start shooting over 33% from behind the arc. But, somehow they’re 8th in D efficiency.
If the refs start giving Hinrich some of the slack he had in 05 and 06, he can go back to being a top 15 PG. He really knows how to play dirty on defense, it’s pretty much the only way he survives against bigger 2-guards.

from an outsider looking, I was very impressed with how hard the Bulls contested shots. It was striking.
Kirk’s shooting should regress to his career rate. Add in the good defense and the perfect fit with Roy and it is frustrating to think about.
Any chance he is dealt to LA for expirings?

I'm at the point where Hinrich rumors have 0 merit.
The day I see Gar Forman openly weeping because he traded Kirk is when I truly believe it.
The teams’ always had talent to defend. If Tyrus can remember how to rebound it could become a consistent trait. Gibson is a solid defender, but he’s a terrible rebounder and is already lulling BaB-ers into a sense of mediocrity.

INDIAN: Yes, but aren’t you The True White Bother who’s supposed to come and live with us in peace?

well, to be honest, both ’Dre and Blake has been sucking it up

I get the feeling that ’Dre is both a slow starter and.. suffers from hurt pride. He is an old school LA baller. Blake starting over him is probably a big deal.

not sure how Blake will do on the 2nd unit
he didn’t look good in the preseason.
Blake, Pryz, Outlaw, Rudy … gonna need to play better team ball to score

Rudy is gonna need to slash and create in that lineup

The lineup of Sergio-Rudy-Travis-Channing-Pryz/Greg barely played at all last year. We could stagger the substitutions so that LMA/Brandon/Andre are always creating offense.

I presume he's fuming over signing here just to get benched
He’s probably being nicer about it than he would be in some other situations.

i bet he's not the only one fuming
$7 million to be a bench player?

I’m actually impressed, to be honest. Not that pouting is the right thing to do but that he is a very proud player and has chosen to stay under the radar. To him, there is no way that Steve Blake, the guard who he always loved to face, should be ahead of him.

The game is in 6 more hours? I should probably sleep before that.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart

I am on PDT time and I’ll be sleeping most of it.

something you should look for tonight that we do a lot is the post players swapping sides and screening each other. You’ll see Greg and LMA opposite each other. Greg steps into the lane and LMA runs by him to establish better post position on the other side. It’s a staple of the high-low.

now that i read through that link
and can visualize what the Blazers do, I realize why people say Nate needs to change his offense. that type of thing is way too perimeter dependent. plus the Blazers don’t seem to have guys that make good entry passes.

last season
it seemed Rudy was the only player capable of making the entry pass. No one else even seemed to try.
I get the paper, so I don't care!

Rudy does a good job off of the pick and roll in the high-low zone.
When the post players switch position, it enables the picking post (usually Oden) to seal his man off and have position right under the basket. Do you remember Rudy zipping passes along the baseline to Greg in scoirng position? That is available a lot.

Yeah. I just remember him doing the big arm swing sabonis-type passes to great effect.

yep. He is the only one who consistently exploited the mismatch there. Greg is so darn big he can seal nearly anybody easily.

and yet he never gets the ball
by GreatOden'sRaven on Nov 6, 2009 3:37 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
it’s an incredibly simple offense. Load up one side, run pick and roll to gain advantage, have players rotate to the weak side to get open shot or enable drive.
The problem is that we generally use the pick and roll to reverse the ball instead of giving it to the roller. high low zone is built off of reversing sides of the court… but we probably focus on that too mcuh.

we run the same offensive sets against every kind of defense. High-low zone where we overload one side of the court to force the defense to overcommit.
The reason that we are good against LA is that our offense is geared to play well against the strong side zone they run defensively. They leave one man to guard the weak side in zone, so we can have our wing in the strong side corner sprint across to force one man to cover two. We did this really well in the first quarter of our March 9th blowout.

we run the hi-lo zone offense gainst man to man?
by jksnake99 on Nov 6, 2009 1:17 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
that is our staple offense. There are flex offenses, motion offenses (think New Orleans with Paul), zone offenses, triangle, etc.
One flex play we ran really effectively last year is what Pelton termed “horns flat.” We have just stunk running it this year. I can’t remember either the point guard getting a good shot or LMA getting good post position off of it yet this year.

just google it, read some playbooks, and then watch the games with an eye toward how the players start the plays. If you see the center at the top of the key with the ball and players moving around him, that’s a flex play generally, stuff like that.
