PrintComing 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.

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 knew the secret recipe!!
This is the way I make all beverages (that include ice). Who knew??

one time i accidentally added the ice last.
i spit out the drink and threw the glass on the ground. it tasted horrible.

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.

yeah it will help.
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.

They were just talking about it on the MSP
the podcast is available on their site and through I-Tunes. Sounds like thwe meeting is at 9:05 am. I never root for anyone to lose their livelihood, but he was way out of line yesterday – I’d say he’s at the very least going to take a Kornheiser-esque 2 week vacation, but he might lose his job outright. Although, I did chuckle when back-to-back callers got through and started calling for CIP’s head during a Blazer segment

I couldn't believe that caller who said the station should apologize for us having to listen to Antonio Harvey.
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.

It’s Frat-tastic! Seriously, waht do they expect? 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. Seriously, they have a daily segment devoted to gambling – it’s a mess on that show right now.

OH...
its not BECAUSE of his comment. I have no idea what it even is or was
its because he is a no talent hack that got a job because he was an average level caller on Jim Rome and Portland caught small town disease and hyped him up like he was the first person from their village to come back from the BIG CITY..

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.

Must be insane for both of you...
We are considering a 3rd because my first two are short. But not sure since we are in a parenting groove right now and the kids are pretty easy. Plus, 5 is such an odd number…We are also looking at adopting too but we gotta make sure we plan it out well.
Anytime HQ is around…it’s a mess. It sounds like you need to go to a Blazer game just with your wife.
Only a 3.5 hour flight or a 2,600 mile drive stands between us and a Blazer game
Its more insane for my wife, as she is home with the kids while I am at work. The thing with 3 kids is that if they all need to be in car seats then you are almost forced to get a minivan.

As California’s universities face increasing budget shortfalls, some professors at UC Berkeley insist that subsidizing intercollegiate athletics should be stopped immediately. Others argue that to do so would have drastic consequences for campus life. We discuss the issue, and options for resolving athletic and academic funding.

i have heard that
some places hire plants to help fire up the crowd during lulls. He might have been one of those. I heard a rumor that the guy that was dancing with his shirt off during a timeout at the rose garden last year might have been a plant as well. But in the end, even if they are, it’s still pretty funny and enjoyable and that’s all that matters, in my mind.
The guy at the Rose Garden was definitely a plant because he did something else as well.
I just can’t remember what.

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.

the newspaper stuff weakened the season somewhat, but was party necessary to the overall plot of those 10 episodes.

True, the whole key of Season 1 is D'Angelo coming to terms
That his so-called family doesn’t particularly care for him, and the lifestyle they created for him is rigged. I just feel like the acting talent doesn’t really shine until halfway through the season.

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.

I was just thinking about the start of the season last year
And realized I was really feeling let down so far. It will turn around but man….I want games like the Spurs and Rockets ones.
Rockets GM was on NBA today podcast
He said he didn’t draft Blair because his data says Blair is basically a Zach who will get stats but cost you the game.
He said they always beat Portland and said KP is a douche for sending the e-mail.
He said he’s not going to trade the guy with a bumpy head.
He wined a few times about not having any nationally televised games.
you'd think they'd let us win sometimes.
He said they always beat Portland
you know, what with giving them Clyde and all.

I felt like a voice crying in the wilderness, “Hinrich is still really good,” all of last season. Now everyone is finally realizing, “hey, Hinrich is still really good.”
He was killing people off the dribble. Meh.

He is one of my favorite NBAers, fills a role that fits our star perfectly, and my team probably could’ve had him while his value was low at the trade deadline.
He had a pretty sweet steal last night.

He also got the ball taken right from his hands while dribbling up court.
Oh, but please, go ahead and just point out the positives.

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.
The 2009 White Sox....like a 40 degree day.
by Ozzie Montana on Nov 6, 2009 11:18 AM PST up reply actions
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?
free bayless
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.

CONQUISTADOR: Shuduppa’, Vespooch! I claim this stinking desert in the name of the Empire of Spain. Forever! Let’s go!

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.
free bayless
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.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
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.
free bayless
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.
free bayless
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.
free bayless
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.
free bayless
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.
free bayless
I was more referring to our sets specifically. A Princeton offense has more player movement than a flex offense.
For example, one flex play we run is for the 5 to hold the ball at the top and wait for the 1 to curl around the 4. If the 1 gets an open shot off of the 4’s pick, he takes the quick 14 footer. If not, he feeds the post. Two options, one play.
free bayless
anther staple high-low play is posting up on the weakside of the court with a wing at arc feeding the post. If the post player is good, the double will come from either the weakside man or the top of the key.
Remember LMA jumping, twirling, and throwing the pass to the opposite corner after being doubled in the post? This was because the defense pro-actively rotated and left the guy in the corner. It’s a pretty smart play by Ellie Mae.
Really all I know is stuff from google, youtube, and watching games and trying to relate them to the Xs and Os that I’ve read. It’s very illuminating to see exactly how the offense is supposed to run and how it actually runs.

I think you’re mistaking more aggressive for better… Bayless is more aggressive, but is he a better help defender? better at ball denial etc… I don’t know, but I do know both Miller and Blake are better for the offense, and that’s why they are in there and Bayless isn’t yet… he’ll get his turn, but there’s a phrase about the grass always being greener that comes to mind
Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it
Bayless seems like more of a foul machine that Oden. Does anyone know his Fouls per minute. They seem high.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Bayless's foul rate per 36 mins is twice Millers, but a few less than Oden
With my partially clothed yet suggestive eye, it seems that Bayless needlessly hacks away from the basket.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
which reminds me
Pryz and GO shouldn’t be guarding their man close to the 3pt Line…you guys see it when ZaZa drove it pass Oden?
i was literally SMH
no kidding.
for as much hate that Nate is getting, Demopolous (sp?) might be getting kind of an easy road. He is in charge of the defense after all.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
is ZaZa even a threat from that far?
I thought he could hit from maybe 15’, but would be invited to take jumpers from past that

than Joe Cool, Bibby, Crawford, etc

i saw that post.
the analogy still applies. building a house is much more difficult than building a deck. Especially a deck not made out of wood.
The deck did look amazing though. I’m not hating.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
really?
i wouldn’t have guessed that. I figured pre-formed pieces would be easier cause it eliminates a lot of the measuring and cutting and stuff. But I wouldn’t know for sure as I’ve never had cause to build a deck myself. Like I said, I’m not disrespecting your work; just want to make that clear.
i was just trying to say having the tools doesn’t mean you know how to use them with my analogy.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
i know what you were saying
and i didn’t take it as a diss…i never take anything as a diss…hahahah
well, the foundation needs to be the same but stronger…and these pieces are exactly the same as wood pieces, in terms of size, lenght…so nothing is different between the two builds…
EXCEPT, trex is a lot more heavy/flexible, and it requires unique fasteners that are extremely hard to drill.
so really, there’s no pre-form pieces…just different type of material. Trex is just composite wood
I did a real nice deck in the Islands and we went with
Ironwood[epe?] it was not a whole lot more than trex.I have dealt with the container homes out fit in Seattle several times and highly reccomend them

i disagree.
He can’t hit the 3 and Bayless needs to ball to be effective. He’s like Andre Miller without the passing skills or the ability to run an offense. Now they just need to let Andre actually run the offense. haha

btw, I started out joking with my Trout is Horry comparison… but it really is the perfect comparison for where I see Trouts career heading

that was the older version of Horry… when he became big shot Rob… If Outlaw lasts 14+ years in the L, he’ll have a high BBIQ too
Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it
getting older doesent mean getting smarter
Outlaw has made progress in on floor decision making, but I doubt he’ll ever be looked to for sage like advice
I always remember Horry being a fairly heady player even as a rookie
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
you cant really tease that out, but I dont think you necessarily have to go to college to become a heady player. I think it is more a mental approach to the game that some players take and others dont for whatever reason.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
unless you have an innate understanding for the game,
like Kobe, Garnett, LeBron, even one year of college will help in the “headiness” department, in my opinion.

innate understanding is a bit of a misnomer
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/10/30/8391794/index.htm
if the NBA was doing development properly a player could be well a head of a college player with a year of dedicated practice.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
getting older doesent mean getting smarter
it’s perception… how many boneheaded players have long careers? If you last 10+ years, you are perceived to be a smarter player do to years of experience
Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it
enough that it is non trivial
if you have a skill and can fit in on a team that is usually enough to stick around for a while.
Travis has a really good mid range game and is well liked. Pretty easy to throw 2-6mil a year at that
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
i can see it if Trout stops being a chucker
and just waits for his shots instead of trying to create them. But i’m not sure that’ll happen. He likes shooting too much. I think Trav’s career is gonna end up as being a main part of an offense on a bad team. If he doesn’t win something with Portland, I don’t think he ever wins anything.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
your probably right, but I like Trout, so I like my version better

As the Indian watches, the cobalt bomb goes off. The sound dies away after a time, and the smoke clears, revealing the two Indians on horseback.
INDIAN: Well, it’s about time, there’s been no corn growing for the last few generations. The buffalo’s gone. There’s no(one) left to live in harmony.
SECOND INDIAN: I wonder where we went wrong?
INDIAN: Let’s just keep to the Life Plan. Remember what The Great Spirit said. “Follow the peaceful way.” The True White Brother is bound to come.
An assistant movie director runs on, yelling through a megaphone.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: All right, Indians! Get ready!
A second assistant director follows, with a clap-stick.
SECOND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Winning Of The West. “The Massacre.” Take four!
He claps the clap-stick to start a “take.”
INDIANS: Well, let’s go…
He joins a dozen other war-painted Indians who ride up beside him, and then they all gallop away into the sunset, whooping.

When I passed by it a couple weeks ago, it was bustling even though it was still pre-season.
Not many people here in NY actually admit that they are fans. They SAY they like the cavs, as if that really helps their cause. I just try to convert as many as I can to Blazer fans! :)
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
We’re never here at the same time anymore.
I’m busy at work but thought I’d take the time to say hi. – Hi!!!!
Yeah, I saw some of the drama – all guys are jerks, don’t worry about it, we all love you here.
Come over sometime, we’ll find a good movie to watch, a slasher film where All the jerks get their just deserts, but they have to beg for mercy before they die. I’m thinking something with a Woody Allen flair where we jump on the screen and get to wield the butcher knife with our own two hands.
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."
What should I wear?
1. Black long Sleeve Blazer shirt
2. Roy All Star jersey
3. Vintage black Terry Porter Jersey
4. Blazer polo (Black )
What do you all think?

It was so fast-paced to start the game, the ball movement was totally fluid and natural, and there didn’t seem to be any of the ball-hogging that we all feared so much. The only thing that makes me nervous is whether the second unit guys can deal with their minutes being pared back. Miller, Blake and Roy played a lot tonight, rudy and martell did not.
Another positive though is that lineup allows space for Bayless to get some floor time, and if we start running a faster offense that will play right into his style, therefore giving him a more beneficial development arc.

another benefit of that lineup starting
was that Andre ran the offense more and Brandon was still able to get his numbers without dominating the ball (until the 4th anyway). We’ll see if this sticks, cause you make a good point about Rudy and Martell.

Kobe 41 points without a single three and only three made free throws.
The talks about Melo winning MVP might have been premature
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
what'd melo do tonight?
Nugs lost right?

I wonder if the nugs go down the road that cleveland seems to be on
One absolute mega-star, surrounded by average players, who will compete but never be able to climb to the top, because when it’s all said and done it’s a team sport, and the one mega-star doesn’t elevate their teammates enough to lead them to glory.

Definitely could be
but Billups is more legit than Mo Williams.

yeah I agree, last year may have been a fluke for Mo. Chauncey def has history on his side, but I am wondering if that will be enough.
Don’t get me wrong, Denver has looked fierce to start the season, but I’m not sure how long that will last. If Melo start’s going ego out there, then they may not ever finish the marathon…
