Junk Drawer 12/3/09 - Civil War

It's the Civil War day. Check out this quote from Chris Dufresne of the LA Times.
It's Oregon State versus Oregon, at Autzen Stadium, with the winner going to the Jan. 1 Rose Bowl and the loser likely headed back to Corvallis.
It's cool to be a Duck fan. Most my teams suck or are mediocre. The Blazers, Mariners, and Seahawks sure try hard but we all know in our hearts that they'll never win anything. Now the Ducks are a different story. Being a Duck fan is pretty much like being a Yankee's, Lakers, or Jimmie Johnson fan. We just expect greatness. I sure am glad I'm not a Beavers fan.

but in the future is there a better way to call a mods attention to it than bringing it up in the JD?
umm, you could email us. or just flag a random comment as innappropriate and mention it in the comment section of the flag.
smoke signals would also be an acceptable form of communication

Looks like I was mistaken:
Spady, then a student at Oregon, sculpted the trophy in 1959, and it was used in the rivalry until 1962, when it was trophy-napped. It was lost for more than 40 years, used by the Ducks water polo club, and resurfaced recently when it was found in a storage closet inside Mac Court.

Trick Plays: OSU's Lon Stiner's 1933 squad devised a special "pyramid play" that season to block field goals and extra point attempts.
Photo of the “Pyramid Play” from the ’38 Orange & Black.
The clever maneuver featured 6-5 Clyde Devine being hoisted skyward by teammates to just the right height to tip the ball and change its direction. First tried against Washington State without fanfare, it was later used against the UO at Multnomah Stadium and captured on film by Portland newspaper photographer Ralph Vincent. The photo attracted worldwide attention and continues to be the most talked about and publicized photograph in OSU sports history. OSU’s “trick play” was subsequently outlawed by a college football rules committee in a decision that remains in force to this day.

did you even read my comment?
You call it a sand sculpture. Sand doesn’t melt; snow does. it’s a sand sculpture of a snowman. is that confusing? if a non-melting snowman is wearing a scarf, the scarf will stay on the melting snowman until the snowman becomes a puddle and the scarf is on the ground. does this help ease your confusion?
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
only adds to the confusion… why is the naked guy in the background? who made this sand man? what is/was in the bucket? is there a dead body inside?
maybe i'll write you a story about it and e-mail it to you.
that might help.

Top 8 moments in Nerf basketball (mini hooping)
http://www.steadyburn.net/2009/12/top-8-moments-in-nerf-basketball/
The two dunk contest videos are pretty cool. I had a beam like that in a house as a kid, but I admit I didn’t hang up a rim there and mostly just trained my reflexes as a soccer and handball goalie by throwing a small nerf-like soft ball against it and then doing a save. And on the other end of the room against the terrace window. My mother didn’t like that because it ruined the carpet, but I loved it. Best reflexes of my life. I might have had a real chance…

From Columbus with love...again
Ok so I’m reading the Columbus Dispatch online and its about who the Bucks should cheer for tonight. I would like to quote part of the article to show how retarded most sports writers can be.
Gregg Doyle of CBSSports.com and Ivan Maisel of ESPN.com — each spoke to the issue of whether beating Oregon or Oregon State would better serve the Buckeyes’ purposes of collecting a signature win.
“Oregon is a much sexier opponent, and therefore more important (to Ohio State),” said Doyle, who bases his opinion on his cluelessness of who coaches the Beavers. (Answer: Mike Riley.)
“I don’t care if you write this. I thought it was still (Dennis) Erickson, and I’m the pseudo national football writer,” Doyle said.
Erickson left Oregon State in 2003, which, as Doyle conceded, said something about his grasp of college football current events, but it said even more about the invisibility of the Beavers.
“Even if Oregon State is better than Oregon, and it might be better, the average fan doesn’t know that,” Doyle said.
What was that?
but it said even more about the invisibility of the Beavers.
False. It just shows that CBSSports.com needs to hire people who actually know something about sports. I knew Erickson was gone, and I’ve been living in Ohio since 02. Dumbass.

You can’t get revenge for a home loss because that’s what happened to the Ducks the year before. Maybe you can say it’s payback but I think revenge is too much.

What is the next stage of Balzer Fandom?
We are currently in the “high expectation, complain about everything that minutely goes wrong” stage.
Has fandom ever been charted/graphed?
When the team sucks, diehards loyally have their favorite players, and they watch out of love and tradition.
When a team is on the rise, diehards get happy, and a closeted diehards start to join the fray.
When a team has high expectations, diehards remain happy, closeted diehards join them, critics join the fray.
When a team fails to meet high expectations, diehards remain loyal, closeted diehards get confused, critics pounce
Etc, etc. I am sure I am missing a bunch. I wish I had Visio.

If you revise a prediction, then it's no longer a prediction it should be called a realism or something else
The Blazers are losing because of injuries and stupidity. They are still a good team, so once they cut out the stupidity, they’ll be fine.
Other teams are losing because they suck, injuries and stupidity. The Blazers can get smarter and healthier.
Start Andre Miller NOW to showcase him for a trade.
think of it this way.
Let’s say you thought this was a 54 win team before the season started. Even if you expect them to play like a 54 win team from here on out, the fact that they have not played like a 54 win team thus far (on pace for 49.2 wins, but against a very easy schedule), has made it so they will not get to 54 wins. To predict this team to win 54 at this point, you’d have to consider them to be good enough to win at least 58 or so. Some people do think the Blazers are that good. I do not.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
I see that
It makes perfect sense and is probably what will happen. I just don’t see the point in revising a prediction.
I think my problem is with semantics. I think we are both on the same page and find no flaw in your logic.
I think after you make a prediction, it should stay your prediction. I’m coming from the gambling angle. If I bet on 55 wins, I’m stuck with that bet for the season. “Revised-prediction” should be called “revised-projection.”

what are your reasons?
you wouldn’t believe it, but some homers make good points to why he isn’t very good.
#1 is how he handles Oden's minutes
- is how he has never in his career coached a good defensive team
- is that he plays Blake way too much, over better options like Miller, Rudy or even Bayless
I suspect for many Spaniards, “running too many iso plays for Roy” is higher up there.

“How you doing?” he repeats, smiling.
“Fine,” she says, glancing anxiously at her companion and then moving on.
“I just think eye contact should count for something,” says Simonton, describing a phenomenon he has observed for four years in Corvallis, where, he says, many students seemingly have had so little exposure to blacks that "they stare at you without realizing they’re staring.

serious question:
can you tell when a man is ogling you and when he might just be appreciating your attractiveness? Or do you think there’s a difference? I’m just curious.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
that is an important distinction.
and i suppose that would go a long way in answering my question. but for the sake of learning what I want to know, I’ll say the face.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
ogling is when a guy sees you
blatantly stares at you , mostly at say my legs/butt/chest
and im sure roybot can attest to this, a simple “appreciate glance” or something is when a guy looks at you, then i make eye contact , he smiles and then averts his gaze.
usually thats how to tell the difference.
most of the time tho , i give guys a really dirty look. the most withering glare i can muster. if they look away then they were “appreciative” , if they sneer back and roll their eyes, i assume they were ogling and were mad I caught them and/or didnt like the ogling.

here's what you want to do
eye contact, and if she’s close enough say, hi…and compliment her shoes or compliment her on something
if she’s far away, just look at the object further if you are oogling…
but at the end of the day, don’t stare

You're right. They had an agrarian economy that was
unsustainable, especially after just about every male over the age of 14 went to war. That also meant that food was scarce, they could barely clothe themselves and they had to rely on grandpappy’s old squirrel gun because they couldn’t replace them due to a lack of ability and resources to manufacture new ones. It was a truly horrible war.

'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
To fix the pick-and-roll defense, I'd hire JVG as head coach and Lawrence Frank as his lead assistant.
The offense would still be slow-paced and boring to casual fans; yet, it’d at least run more through the pivot and, moreover, the team would hopefully quit relying too much on mid-range jump shots. Again, though, I expect that KP would never hire a guy like JVG, but would rather wait out this season and bring in his own dude — as McMillan came here during the Steve Patterson era — with Mike Budenholzer likely topping the “cake baker’s” list.

Imagine what he is doing now
But, 36 minutes a night, with regular touches, respect from the refs, and a lot more refinement on both ends of the court. Plus, a body used to playing 36 minutes.
That is the future of Oden. He will be the best center of his era.
In my opinion.
I've been bullish on Oden for a long time now
I say I am an Oden homer, but he’s playing much more consistent than even I expected this season… and with a lot more fire and energy and effort than I expected. I really, really like what I see from him.
He has so much room to grow, so many things to improve on, and as long as he keeps working hard he’ll get there. Hard worker + smarts + awesome body and athleticism = rad.
the most exciting thing about watching Portland right now
is we are watching a potentially great one growing little by little. Every game we see something new in his arsenal.

as much as I blame Roy and Nate, I’m beginning to wonder why LMA is getting paid to slack off on defense when he could be an absolute force. There is no reason for him to not be hedging, blocking, rotating…. just effort.
i cry for nic
I just started the Quick chat
Who do ya think is complaining/worrying about how he is intro’d in the beginning of games? Maybe LMA?
Roy goes last I assume, Blake can’t possibly worry about that, I can’t see Oden right now worrying about it (maybe later on)…
oh, one of the first things he says
Is “whether or not you’re being introduced at the beginning of the game”… you could be right, just seems an awkward way to say “worrying about starting”.
Ya always wanted to feel confident Oden could become very very good
We’re seeing that right now, and it’s cool.
Even with the crap, it makes me feel a lot better for the future. All other problems are fixable; having a dominant two way 7+ footer isn’t.
Roy could be playing even better than last year
We ain’t winning a title, ever, unless Oden becomes Oden. So showing he is on the way there means everything.
yeah, though I think several of them aren't fixable under Nate, as I already made clear in this thread.

ugh, sorry, I am an a spiteful mood today. Nate deserves better.
(I am serious though).
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
Just be patient
I know if ya ain’t worryin’, ya ain’t breathin’, but Oden will be Oden. Best big man coach in the world does help much while Oden is still feeling things out.
First thing is first: Oden needs to play 30+ minutes regularly. The rest will come.
Then, Oden earns the offense being run through him, instead of it being handed to him.
Though aside from fouls
Nate and his staff, whoever gets the credit be it Bayno or whoever, have obviously done a great job developing Oden thus far.
The improvements over one summer are amazing, and Oden AND the coaching staff deserve credit.
Bayno deserves some credit
I would like a coach who could teach the team to pass the ball to Oden when he is wide open in the middle.
The occasional successful pick and roll would be cool also.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
Pick and roll is huge
Roy needs to recognize Oden in the middle; Blake is just risk adverse and there’s all those arms and bodies in the middle I better just pass around the perimeter.
Oden is tailor made for the pick and roll; he needs to learn to use his body better on a pick, but the guards use picks so horribly that wherever he sets himself doesn’t matter— they never use it.
I want Greg Oden to be a more traditional ...
back-to-the-basket pivotman at the 5 — while the 4 is used as the #1 pick-‘n’-roll option — but that’s just my opinion.
Yet, with LMA at the 4, it’s much more about the pick-and-pop — which I prefer as only a fallback option — due to him being a gangly twerp on offense who almost never rolls and, moreover, rarely uses his quick first step on a dribble-drive move from the elbow.
There’s times in which I just want to eschew Aldridge altogether, as the dude makes me that irate and fuming with rage due to his soft play.
Dear Paul Allen:

if we would run those pick and pops for 3s, that would help immensely.
as long as LMA could become a decent 3 point shooter.
Draft Ryan Wittman
I don't like the pick n' pop either
It should be a wrinkle, a counter for the pick n’ roll, not as the featured move. It’s so lame.
I see Oden as both traditional back to the basket 5, and a guy who would be deadly in the pick and roll because he’s SUCH a beast who can finish so well, and he has great hands and can catch most any pass.
If he is rolling hard and gets the pass regularly, it would be monstrous and there every time down court.
It's nice your new favorite player is truly worthy of admiration.

Greg's been my favorite player since before he was drafted.
He’s the reason I paid for the ability to watch games instead of just listen. Travis has been my favorite player since he was drafted because I’ve always felt protective of him since he joined the team as an innocent kid among jailblazers. I feel like he’s just such a good hearted, genuine guy which is evidenced by the fact that he was able to survive that experience with his head still on his shoulders and it pizzes me off when people rag on him.

Well on offense they do need to figure a lot out themselves
But he should always encourage and yell at them to work inside first, look for the roller on a pick and roll, etc.
On defense, which has been the bigger problem the last few games, any coach says “cover the shooters”. There’s not a lot of punishments you can do to grown men when they disobey, you gotta just hope they got enough pride to cover the damn shooters.
Sarcasm aside, I don't disagree with you
But if that was true, teams would never need to change coaches. I mean, they’re all going to say the same thing anyway, right?
A lot of times it is true
The coaches don’t need to be changed.
If the players truly ain’t listening and respecting the coach, that is something else.
When a problem is basic is what I kinda mean— our players ain’t doing basic crap they should know to do since they were 8 years old. You could bring in Red Auerbach, if the guys ain’t covering shooters like bone heads, it’s the guyses fault.
As a former athlete, in my experience most of my problems and the team’s problems were me and the players, not the coach, so that colors my opinion as well.
Some coaches are better teachers, educators, have more knowledge of strategy, X’s and O’s, etc. There is a difference between coaches and bad ones and good ones. But when players ain’t doing basic crap that of course the coaches would be peeved about…
I should also add I had NOTHING but horrible coaches
But still, my problems were my own fault. Especially when it was basic crap.

I am no coach, but I suspect one tactic a coach could use would be to hold players (especially Roy and LMA to a higher standard)
Perhaps pull them for bad defensive plays. Make it clear that playing time depends on defensive effort, even for the stars.

he might be kinda pathetic now, but watching him play the finals with philly is probably my first nba memory. And it’s a good memory.
you should post that in NBF's fanpost.

it did occur to me tho that Oregon might have a slightly better matchup in that rose bowl.. but i think either team could take them
as echoed in my civil war gameday thread

Everyone said Time Warner LA sucked
Those fools called me today and offered to set up my TV and internet a few days early! What chumps! They didn’t need to do that, I was already happy with them coming Monday, knowing full well that most cable companies can take literally WEEKS to start new service.
So now they’ll come Sunday, like nice peoples. It was cool of them to offer.
Cable companies are usually cool about hooking you up quickly
I once rented an apartment and had Comcast hook me up 6 hours later, at like 9pm. He called and said he was still doing work in the area, and would I like to get my cable set up? Hard to say no to that.
Cable is bearable, especially if you’re basically using all their services.
So you’ve got League Pass now?
when I bought my house, it took comcast a month and a half to hook mine up.

well it was a new house, and the first guy who came out said that the line hadn't been run out to the street yet.
So I waited two weeks, and called them back. They said they would check on it.
I waited another two weeks. I called them back. They said they were sorry, they had just been so busy, but they would check on it.
I waited two days. I called them back. They had no idea who I was or what my situation was. I explained how I had been their customer for five years continuously. They said they understood my frustration, I said I doubted that.
I waited one more week. My neighbor told me that his cable was hooked up, and had been for over three weeks. The next day, I ripped them a new one, and that night they were at my house hooking it up.
The worst part though….
The next day we were visited by a comcast salesman, who asked if we were happy with our tv service, and whether we had considered giving comcast a try…..

I've got my LPBB back on
But I gotta figure something out because I am being forced to switch from DirecTV (where I already had LP running) to Time Warner, where I don’t got LP. And don’t got a lot of scratch burning a hole in my pocket. Luckily, I hadn’t paid DirecTV for league pass yet because it goes on the next bill.
I’ve never had a cable company hook me up quickly. Literally, I don’t think it’s been less than two weeks for service at the several apartments I had cable with. One big reason I liked DirecTV so much.

If you do that kind of thing, just do it. Don't tell anyone about it until after the fact if you still feel the need.
Otherwise it can taint the experience, by giving you potentially false expectations. I’ve always found the most worthwhile things to do, are things you just do, without talking about them. It’s a more personal experience that way.

people love the gregarious big man. plus he’s arguably one of the top 5 centers of all time. he dominated the game for a time. (which I’m not sure Kobe ever did)
i’m not sure really. it’s interesting to think about what qualifies a player as a legend. who are the legends of the NBA right now? Jordan, Bird, Magic, Wilt…..
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
see i think kobe will be remembered more.
but i could say shaq was one of the best at his position so i completely agree with what you’re saying.

why do you think Kobe will be remembered more?
in a postive enough light to warrant “legend” status more than Shaq?
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
I think in the long run, Kobe will be judged more by his on the court stuff than off the court.
A lot of legendary athletes are guilty of living to excess, the difference with Kobe was he got discovered at or near the apex of his career, and has spent the last several years trying to rebuild his image more publicly than say, Michael Jordan, or Magic Johnson, or even Charles Barkley. Even though these guys are all still in the public light, they are well beyond having to prove any athletic prowess, and so the weight of their past accomplishments weigh heavily in the court of public opinion. Since Kobe got all nasty in the middle of his accomplishments it tarnished his on the court persona more than, what these others who may be of equally questionable moral character, had to deal with.
Does that make any sense?

Shaq is a big personality and everyone loves him
He will be remembered for a loooooooooooooong time. And whether or not he got special rules just for him, he totally dominated. People will even forget that he could have been REALLY good if he didn’t coast on his natural gifts and had an actual work ethic.
Kobe will go down as an all-time great, but not a super popular one. He is a weirdo and will always be one.
People will even forget that he could have been REALLY good if he didn’t coast on his natural gifts and had an actual work ethic.
If people do indeed forget that in a generation, that will be huge for his legacy.
yeah that makes sense.
you’ll probably be right. i think what will hurt Kobe the most in that regard is his lack of titles w/o Shaq. he might need to win one or two more to cement his “legendness”

just one for now.
but i think he’ll be remembered as more responsible for the L*ker 3 peat than Kobe will.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
Shaq's legend is overrated IMO
He’ll be remembered as a beneficiary of a lot of good luck or calls in his favor to help his legend.
I don’t think Shaq’s legend will age as gracefully as Russell or Chamberlain. He’ll be like a Malone or Barkley, but with titles.
really?
i don’t think he’s a legend yet. and i see what you mean about the calls. But that’s something only Portland fans will really hang on to. that sort of thing will be forgotten (heck, it’s practically forgotten now by everyone outside Portland).
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
Well, people in Dallas hang on to it too, as do Sacramento
And anyone who watched those series on TV (insert joke here).
I think he’ll be seen as the goofy big man who was more powerful than everyone on the court, never got called for a travel or an offensive foul, and had a little help winning titles during an era the NBA will probably wish to forget later.
hmm. i disagree.
i think the officiating issues will fade with time and he’ll be remembered as the goofy big man that led a team to 3 titles and helped another superstar win one also (Wade). it will be interesting to see though.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
Yep, totally cool with disagreeing here
I could see why someone would move Shaq into legend status. I think his last title with Miami actually hurt his legacy to folks who weren’t already fans of his (since it means two of his four titles feel tainted to many fans, which moves it away from the “coincidental” category).
It really depends on what happens when the book is written about the current NBA cycle. The NBA is probably hoping Donaghy’s book is not given that title.
It’s probably David Stern’s biggest fear that this will actually be seen as “the good years” in retrospect. By most accounts, this hasn’t been a good decade for the NBA, despite the international growth. They’re probably just happy their NBA Finals ratings have stabilized.
interesting point about how the era will be remembered.
taking that in to account, what do you think this does for Duncan?
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
That's a really great question.
I hadn’t thought about how Duncan is seen historically from this generation. I’d assume he’ll be seen on a similar level to Hakeem Olajuwon. A great player who’s in the “Top xx players” list, an easy Hall of Famer, and led his team to multiple titles.
I think if anyone will not be remembered for calls going in his direction, it’s Duncan. Nobody will probably remember Nash’s Suns getting jobbed after the knee in the groin, for example. Not sure why, just a feeling.
I might revise that after mulling it over. The “it depends on the era is viewed in retrospect” caveat applies here too, of course.

Absolutely
But it’s a lot harder to hide lowlights from the youtube generation (and presumably future generations). Even if the NBA attempts to get bad clips removed.
The biggest advantage to Bill, Wilt, Larry and Magic’s state of legend is how little of their footage is still seen. Shaq, Kobe, Duncan and now LBJ and Howard don’t get that advantage.
Magic could have seen the benefit of the doubt on every call in the 1980 NBA finals, and we’d have no idea.
ooh good point, I hadn't thought of that.

yeah, Duncan is a really interesting case.
because i think statistically, he’s like one of the best players ever. but he did it in such a non-flashy way that people may not remember. this actually works in quite well with NBF’s excellent post on sports memory. personally, I think Duncan is the best PF of all time. But he won’t be remembered any more than Karl Malone or Barkley.

I respect the hell out of Duncan, but I hate watching him play.

it's crazy what Duncan can do when it looks like he's doing nothing.
i don’t like watching him play either. biggest whiner in the NBA.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
I believe that Duncan will be more highly regarded after his playing days are over
Specifically because he isn’t flashy, but his stats and legacy is. People will remember him as one of the best pure players, who played with fundamentals and hard work.
And because they won’t be watching him play his “boring” style of play, their mind can make it more exciting. He will have a spotless legacy, for the most part.
Hakeem is often considered the best center of his generation, and Duncan has to be the best PF/C. And Duncan won more titles, and didn’t have to win it when the best player playing was taking a break to do ping pong or whatever.
I could even see people talking up Duncan after he is done to be even more than he was… like some sort of ultimate perfect mix of size, athleticism, and textbook fundamentals. People will forget he doesn’t make a good percentage of the bank shots, and he’s a pretty crappy FT shooter.
I personally think the nba preemptively threatening a lawsuit makes them look really bad
I think it would be much better, to let him publish, and then act like nothing happened. Say it doesn’t matter if he publishes a bunch of garbage, because everyone knows it’s not true. Publicly maligning his character after the fact gives more plausible deniability to the nba’s side of the story if anything.

The best thing the NBA has going for it
Is that it’s in ESPN’s interest for the NBA to look good, thanks to the long-term broadcasting contract with Disney.
there's a poll on nba.com
Which center has improved the most so far this season?
* Andrew Bynum
* Greg Oden
* Andrea Bargnani
* Kendrick Perkins
bynum has got double the votes oden has got.
haven’t watched bynum nearly as much as oden this season but i’d definitely give that vote to oden
probably getting a lot of votes from the los angeles area, which has what like 3 times the amount of people as the whole state of Oregon?

Brandon Jennings is a freak
NBA.com’s rookie rankings has him at 2nd.

...and that's a good thing
From Woj
Portland: Since Travis Outlaw(notes) has been lost for four to five months with foot surgery, GM Kevin Pritchard has been working the phones for an athletic forward as a replacement.
That isn’t much of a surprise, but this is: In conversations with Portland’s front office and coaching staffs, several league officials believe Andre Miller(notes) could soon be available. As a free-agent signee over the summer, Miller can’t be traded until Dec. 15.
After missing out on several preferred free agents, Pritchard settled for Miller and signed him to a three-year, $21 million contract, the first two years of which are guaranteed. Yet, Blazers coaches have privately insisted to confidants throughout the league that Miller isn’t working out, and the belief is that Pritchard is testing the market on Miller’s worth. Portland could stay with Steve Blake(notes) or use Miller to bring back another playmaker.
Sources say that Brandon Roy(notes) clearly prefers playing with Blake over Miller, and that’s an issue that Pritchard must contend with.
at least he didn't call kp a Black-hater, or accuse him or threatening to Pritch-slap people
But I love you :-(

and its not really fair to Nate, who's been great for this team
but its just the same things over and over. Dumb management of Oden’s pt, failure to adjust to new personnel, failure to hold his team accountable for defense.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
The rest of this season
He’s been there since we were awful and helped build this thing up. He, just like Roy and LMA and Oden when Oden wasn’t being like Oden, deserve the time and hope that they’ll figure it out.
He gets the season and playoffs, at least.
I'm especially focused on how we do in the playoffs, naturally
All of this lineup switcheroos and Oden handling and whatnot… I can live with the hesitation and overthinking.
We have to do gooder in the playoffs.
Right now we also have more problems than we need to be having. Miller hasn’t always played great even though he deserves more minutes, Roy has been waaaaaaay off, LMA too, Oden while dominant is a foul machine which in turn makes conservative Nate treat Oden with kid globes, Trout is out, Batum is out, Blake (armchair psychiatrist here) does not handle pressure well (me judging by his numerous 4th quarter mistakes when trying to do something aside from a 3) and having Miller here has made him press and force things which makes him play awful at times, Joel doesn’t feel as in-tune with the team’s success (or lack thereof) because of the Oden Emergence and doesn’t play as well as he should, uhhh… what else has gone wrong…
It’s been a convergence of events, one leads to the other, and it doesn’t have to be that way but for right now it is. Most is not Nate, even if he doesn’t respond to all of it perfectly.
Bottom line though, we have to have forward progress in the long run. That means not fizzling totally in the playoffs.
In my heart of hearts, I also think it's fair that Nate McMillan gets through this entire season ...
to prove his long-term worth here. Besides, if McMillan is fired than my guess is Monty Williams becomes the interim head coach versus the organization making a veteran outside hire like JVG; thus, I’d rather let things play out as it stands at this moment.

How much of this do you think he saw coming when he signed only a year long contract?
I should not sarcastically mock someone I don’t completely agree with.
I personally doubt that Nate McMillan had the foresight to see these issues unfold, ...
for my guess as to why he didn’t want to sign a long-term contract was so that he could maybe use this job as a stepping stone for a more prestigious gig (e.g., the Los Angeles Lakers) down the line. Of course, the Lakers would be better off promoting Brian Shaw to head coach when Phil Jackson finally retires.

If you could take a secret poll of the Blazer players re a new coach

my guess is this:
Roy, LMA, Blake, Joel, Dante, Jeff, Outlaw, Webster, Juwan and Oden (out of loyalty) would vote to keep Nate.
Miller, Rudy, Bayless an Batum would vote for a new coach.
Just my opinion.

has Nate ever had a dominant defensive presence in the middle?
honest question….
Look at all the teams that dominate the D ratings, everyone has a guy who plays great low post defense. I can’t remember Nate ever having a guy like that, and now he has one in Oden. Also, I do believe that Portland’s struggles on D are not entirely Nate’s fault:
1) B Roy and LMA don’t always (if ever lol) commit to playing defense
2) Injury to the team’s best perimeter defender
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
1) It is Nate’s job to get effort out of Roy and LMA.
2) His weaknesses mainly revolve around defending the pick and roll, teaching his team to properly adjust. Whether or not he’s had a big man, it’s the pick and roll defense that has killed his teams.
Also, a good defensive coach can turn crappy pieces into a defensive unit. Skiles turned Luke Ridnour and co. into a good defense last year.
i cry for nic
Allen and Lewis are also part of excellent defensive teams-- they aren't the reason, but they don't hurt either.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
With Nate McMillan's his problems on defense is twofold. For starters, he has his guys ...
switch way to much off of picks — rather than fight through them — which creates defensive mismatches. Secondly, he never holds everyone truly accountable for loafing on defense. It’s one thing that LaMarcus Aldridge is soft — for I doubt anyone could fix that flaw of his — but it’s another thing entirely that Brandon Roy is taking plays off. Frankly, Roy should be chewed out verbally in front of everyone for his lax effort.

With LMA, the best thing to do is just grin and bear it by masking his flaws over ...
lambasting him for being soft as toilet paper that’s laced with aloe vera. Brandon Roy, however, could be served well with a good tongue lashing by someone strong-willed like JVG.

I think JVG is more of a little martinet and petulant rather than strong-willed.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Rudy Tomjanovich failed with the Los Angeles Lakers in part because ...
offense was too basic, lacked much motion, and was Kobe-centric, which are all flaws with Nate McMillan — except in this case it’s the Royfense™, or whatever Cabby called it — thus, I’d stay away from him.
Yet, during Tomjanovich’s time in Houston, he won two championships with a dominant two-way center and role players who could spread the floor. I, therefore, can’t totally hate on him. Still, Tomjanovich’s failure with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier tihs decade was a telling thing.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,

Also, Rudy Tomjanovich was at best an average defensive coach.
I, by the way, once expected that Nate McMillan would one day replace the aging Phil Jackson in Los Angeles at the behest of Kobe Bryant, with “Sarge” failing miserably like “Rudy T” — albeit this time around Brian Shaw would play the role of Kurt Rambis — but that surely won’t happen at this rate.

I disagree
it says something to the quality or integrity (there’s a better adjective here, but I can’t think of it) of the organization to give him the rest of the year. And honestly, if we picked up a new coach tomorrow, would there really be that big of a change in making this team a title contender this year? It’s better to wait until the offseason to make any move, regardless of whether or not the Portland Front Office thinks that Nate is the coach of the future. The last thing I would imagine this team wants to do is look like they are panicking by making a drastic move so early in the season, especially with so many young’uns on this team.
Another question: has any team ever won a title after making a coaching change mid-season?
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
it wouldn't be about winning a title this year.
In some ways, its the more generous move to Nate. If you decide he’s not your coach of the future, do you want him to stay as a lame duck coach?
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
would he really be a lame duck coach though?
A) He still gets an opportunity to change his mindset — provided KP and co. would address their concerns with him
B) He still is fighting for an opportunity to win a head coaching job for a different team in the offseason. I imagine there would be a few teams that would like to have him.
Maybe I’m just totally off base on this though, it’s happened before…
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

I could live with making Monty interim coach, then letting KP choose his guy in the offseason.
If Monty would let Oden play with 2 fouls, pull players for missing defensive assignments (including his stars) and play Blake less, while keeping everything else the same, I’d be a lot happier.

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
From the Quick chat
It sounds like some of our armchair psychiatrist stuff is accurate… Roy and LMA are somewhat resentful of Oden’s emergence and how it impacts their game statistically instead of being happy that they have a great center to play with.
Man… that is just lame and immature.
meh
they’ve been “the” guys on the team their entire career until now. They will adjust to having a new guy in the spotlight.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Super Rodgers Bros.
Sure, they will adjust whether they like it or not
But I expect a little more “bigger picture” from Roy than that.
LMA, I get it— he wants recognition, wants to be an allstar, etc. Roy has gotten all that, 2nd team all NBA, can be an Olympian simply by showing up, etc. He doesn’t need to score 23 ppg to get recognition, he needs to WIN.
I don't think Roy will be an Olympian
Besides his play this year, he’s pulled out of USA camps twice, very late in the game. He’s not on Coach K/Colangelo’s “good list.”
Draft Ryan Wittman
I doubt that's a big deal
He was rehabbing one year, had to stay healthy for a contract in another. He is a coaches darling and they’d love to have him I bet.
YOU GET SURPRISED A LOT
I dunno what that means.
Yeah, he needs to play better, but if he goes to the things and says he wants to be a part of it, his rep and good attitude and being a young leader will get him on.
This lil’ phase won’t damage that that much.
if Wade, Kobe, Paul and DWill are all back, that's 4 guard spots locked up.
One would have to think he’d be on the very short list for the 5th guard spot, though they filled it with Redd last time and might want a zone-buster again.
Draft Ryan Wittman
FIBA is moving it to NBA distance in October 2010.
DWill is overrated by those who say he’s almost as good as Paul, and vastly overrated by Timbo, but he’s still the 2nd best American PG unless you think Rondo is… which he might be.
Draft Ryan Wittman
I say we make Quick correct about a prediction for once in his life
And finally make Roy the actual PG, start Rudy at SG, bring Miller in off the bench, play Bayless as his SG, and watch the wins pile up.
Rudy gets to start and have more minutes = happy day, Roy gets to control the ball = happy day, Bayless gets minutes = happy day, Miller won’t necessarily be happy day but oh well.
Who knows
I think it could work and is better than the current option.
Every time we’ve done a Roy and Rudy backcourt, one or the other always forgets to get back on defense so Nate cuts it short. I think it could really work, with Rudy (or Batum once he gets back) guarding the PG.
Before Rudy came over
I’ve brought it up as an option. I do like the ball in Roy’s hands over most anyone else, especially once he remembers Oden is on the team too, and he’s usually our PG on offense anyways.
We have done it in games before
But, like clock work, every time I remember seeing it, either Rudy or Roy (likely Rudy, because Roy won’t be given the extra defensive work) don’t get back on defense repeatedly and the other team makes us pay.
It’s a simple fix, but we haven’t ever stuck with it enough to fix it.
As long as one guy can guard a SG and one guard a PG
I dual-combo guard backcourt can work.
It’d be a lil’ nicer if Rudy could initiate the offense so Roy doesn’t have to do it everytime, which is likely another reason we haven’t seen it a lot. Roy (and Wade, and Joe Johnson, etc) likes controlling the ball most of the time but also likes someone else bringing the ball up court and initiating the offense sometimes as well, so he can pick and choose his spots.
Rudy isn’t good at that yet, so it’s sorta tough.
Rajon Rondo's game isn't built for international play, however, so I'd ...
stick with Deron Williams as Chris Paul’s backup when it comes to U.S.A. basketball.

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Super Rodgers Bros.
It's why, beyond the so-so play from Roy on the court
I am soooo disappointed with Roy this year, because a good leader does not resent/worry about how a great new positive force affects their own personal stats.
I know it’s a phase, and it isn’t as simple as all that, but such a contradiction from the Roy we “know”.
Joel isn’t emotionally invested right now and getting called out by Steve is like your five year old brother saying that you don’t do your share of the chores.
It has to be Greg.
i cry for nic
Even if he isn't "emotionally invested," Joel Przbyilla's seniority and workmanlike ...
effort in the past puts him in a position wherein he can call out Brandon Roy without guys on the team tuning him out. If Greg Oden laid down an ultimatum on Roy regarding work ethic, I’d be worried some guys in the locker room may turn on him and that could create more havoc on the court.
Dear Paul Allen:

I don't know....
I think your interpretation of Brandon is off here.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Super Rodgers Bros.
LMA in particular is making me want to strangle him. You are being paid above market value, are a complete non-factor on the boards, rinflate your rebound totals by stealing uncontested reebs from Greg, and you feel like we owe it to you TO MAKE SURE YOUR FREAKING FEELINGS ARE ATTENDED TO? GROW UP YOU ARE BEING PAID MILLIONS TO HELP US WIN, WE DON’T PAY YOU TO GIVE YOU AN OUTLET TO FURTHER YOUR OWN AGENDA.
i cry for nic
We knew that was the deal with LMA though
With Roy, it’s unexpected to me.
I don’t expect him to be a perfect human being at all times, but I expected him to see the big picture better. And the idealizing of last season is something us silly fans should do, not a guy who wants to win a title.
LMA is getting paid thirteen million per season. It’s not our job to make him feel warm and fuzzy and make sure he gets enough inefficient twenty footers as possible. Go out there and earn your money, you overpaid, nonrebounding, lazy, overrated, soft, and self-centered annoyance.
I feel better now. Maybe I’ll regret saying all of it, but I sure feel better.
i cry for nic
LMA probably thinks he is better than Greg and doesn’t understand why he is cutting into his role.
i cry for nic
Unless I missed a part
Quick speaks negatively mostly about Roy, and not about LMA, though you can figure some of it is LMA too.
Did I miss specific stuff about LMA that angered you? Or is it just assumptions… and I don’t mean that in a bad way, from afar I am pretty sure LMA is being dumb about Oden’s emergence.
the part where Quick talks about LMA wanting to be an all-star and Roy wanting to be a top, top player.
LMA is getting paid, he needs to man up and do what the team needs instead of hoisting 25 18 footers a game en route to a hollow all-star appearance.
LMA is largely skating by when he is overpaid compared to production while Roy at least deserved his deal last year.
i cry for nic
LMA will get a cold shower
When he isn’t anywhere close to making the team with this sort of play, and this just-above-average record.
With Brandon Roy, I'd just like for him to drop the personal agenda and realize that ...
the only guy who he has control over is himself. A true leader leads by example, although Roy apparently has yet to learn that simple lesson. Additionally, Roy must understand he isn’t capable of winning a ring by himself. Sorry, Roy, but you’re no Michael Jordan; thus, you must either start deferring some to Greg Oden or prepare to be a perpetual loser.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
Well right now it's pretty much true
His lack of effort on defense bugs me the most. He isn’t a banger, but he’d usually move his feet and work hard. He isn’t doing that right now, and I tie it to him not doing as well offensively… or himself thinking he’s getting less touches.
Since Oden should be getting a lot more touches now, and certainly in the future, if LMA can’t get over not being a focal point on offense we would likely be better off with a role playing PF. One I can’t think of.
I think LMA could be perfect next to Oden, but he needs to accept his role and play the versatile defense he has shown he can do.
it drives me crazy. He acts like we should be catering to him. Uh, you are the employee, LaMarcus. The employee that is well-compensated.
He is a big baby right now.
i cry for nic
LMA is pretty close to dead to me. I would celebrate a deal with the way he is selfishly hurting the team.
i cry for nic
I think you're in a bad mood :-)
LMA has been very disappointing but not anywhere close to beyond repair.
He's a sensitive soul
And why even though he has amazing physical gifts and skill, he’ll never be a #1 player. Too weak.
But, he’s a good kid, he’s just worried about his role and his place on the team. Even with the contract, that insecurity of a kid abandoned by his dad and has a hard time trusting anyone doesn’t go away.
He’ll be okay over time. I expect this sort of worry from him more than Roy, is why I am easier on LMA about all of this. He is also less important than Roy.
thirteen million for five seasons. Stop worrying about your role and do what the team needs from you.
i cry for nic
You aren't wrong
I agree with that. It is very annoying.
But, it’s to be expected from someone in LMA’s position, but he’s certainly capable of getting it in the near future. He’s always been focused on being an allstar and showing he was worth being the #2 pick, and obviously Oden’s emergence puts a damper on that. Makes LMA in a funk, he shoots more jumpers, tries less on defense, and it’s a spiral until he gets out of it.
Clearly, if what is being said is true, he and Roy just aren’t seeing past their own wants and situation right now. Until they see the big picture, they will be annoying, but are capable of being the players we need them to be still.
well, I’m in sports mourning and LMA is getting the brunt of my pain. Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow and feel less strongly, but I am just frustrtaed that a player peforming at such a mediocre level could get in a funk about role.
i cry for nic
I'm sure it's a combo of his new lesser role
And frustration and anger at himself for playing so poorly.
They feed into each other to make the spiral worse, of course.
I don't know, Mort, for my belief is that LMA should check his emotional ...
shortcomings at the door. Yet, if LMA needs to see a psychologist — sports or otherwise — to deal with childhood abandonment issues, then he can do that off the clock on his own time. I understand that mental health is important, but work is work.
Dear Paul Allen:

Sincerely,

Hmm, I should've used the word baggage instead of "shortcomings."
Either way, though, LMA needs to be a professional by not allowing his personal life to seep into work and affect job performance.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
Sure, he should check 'em at the door
Isn’t as easy as all that, is all I’m saying.
I ain’t really trying to say it’s okay for LMA to let it affect his play, just trying to give my opinion on what it may be about, but I also think it is a temporary problem.
Good, it's nice to see someone lay the wood to LMA. From the media stories told about him ...
in the past and nowadays, LMA sounds like a childish, snot-nosed brat who wants to be coddled and pampered by everyone. As far as I’m concerned, LMA ought to deal with his bottled up daddy issues on his own time. This is work, dammit! Ugh, I just want LMA to get with the program.

Tom Ziller has an interesting idea for the Knicks that might work but Knicks fans probably would feel disappointed about
While we’re here and discussing a potentially less depressing future for the Knicks, might I suggest this non-LeBron, non-Bosh, non-Wade blueprint? Trade for Tyrus, throw a max contract offer at Amar’e, and offer restricted free agent Sergio Rodriguez a contract Sacramento will refuse to match. None of those individual ideas are either easy to accomplish nor obvious wins, but supposing Sergio’s recent electric play has a modicum of truth, and supposing either Danilo Gallinari or Wilson Chandler can defend high-powered wings with a few years, I’d say that’s a core D’Antoni can take to the playoffs. And there’s no sense building for anything other than that right now.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
The New York Knicks should avoid Tyrus Thomas, who's not the long-term solution to anything positive.
Right now, Donnie Walsh should be looking to move Eddy Curry and Jared Jeffries for expiring contracts — even if it costs Jordan Hill and Wilson Chandler, who are overrated — and look to add someone overhyped by casual fans like Tracy McGrady as a short-term boon in ticket sales.
Step #1: http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5308699
Step #2: http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5308691
Step #3: http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5308684
1. David Kahn may soon get desperate and drop his patient approach, with a young wing scorer — albeit an inefficient one — like Wilson Chandler filling a major hole.
2. Geoff Petrie could want a young guy with size like Jordan Hill, even if he’s the nothing more than the next Drew Gooden/Chris Wilcox.
3. Daryl Morey may get tired of Tracy McGrady pushing to come back from microfracture surgery, so moving him at all costs — with insurance $ being a big as reason as on-court chemistry — might become a priority like Cabby predicted awhile ago.

Oh, and if New York Knicks CEO James Dolan needs to include cash considerations to sweeten ...
any of those trade proposals — or even if Donnie Walsh must add youngster Toney Douglas to the Eddy Curry/Wilson Chandler for Mark Blount/Brian Cardinal deal to help satisfy David Kahn’s batty point guard fetish — then so be it. Dolan and Walsh must start clearing the books for the summer of 2010, pronto!
Right now, a theoretical Al Harrington for Tyrus Thomas and filler (e.g., Jerome James) deal should be put on hold until Dolan and Walsh handle the more pressing business matters that are at hand. Ugh, I just can’t fathom why Walsh hasn’t gotten the ball rolling yet—especially when it’s been reported that he could’ve dealt Jared Jeffries and Nate Robinson away for Kenny Thomas’ soon to expire contract before last season’s trade deadline.

Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
I agree on the position of civil libertarianism
But I strongly dislike resorting to legislation from the bench as well. Sometimes I feel the ACLU’s tactics attempt to bully their way through existing law and precedent. Generally I like the idea of the intended outcome of that bullying, but separation of power must not be negotiable.
But, hey, when they are just interpretation of existing laws (esp. constitution) with a mind for civil liberties, I’m happy like clam.
"oh dear god. Please be more irresponsible". - Claire
Well, I frequently waffle between being a strict constructionist who feels ...
that judges should rule by the supreme law of the land (i.e., The Constitution of the United States of America) and a civil libertarian who feels ethically that certain cases of judicial activism is warranted.
Oh, for whatever it’s worth, here’s an earlier comment of mine that may clear up any possible misconceptions y’all might have regarding my position when it comes to jurisprudence.
“U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia is of the formalist theory of constitutional law, which is nothing more than ultraconservative judicial activism that’s hidden under a façade of originalist/textualist philosophy. As far as I’m cocerned, Scalia and fellow Associate Justice Clarence Thomas are federalist scumbags who’ve sold out to the executive branch.
Anyhow, with regards to every judge who’s sat on the U.S. Supreme Court throughout American history, absolutist/literalist Hugo Black (1937-1971) is my all-time favorite. Black was the one who claimed the following: ‘The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment means […] Neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion.’
Anyhow, my view regarding the U.S. Supreme Court is that it’s there solely to uphold or knock down a law at the federal, state, and municipal levels depending on its constitutionality — which obviously includes slavery, as it goes against the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment — rather than be misused by judges in a self-serving manner. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court made the correct decision in the case of Gonzales v. Oregon, whereby the Oregon Death with Dignity Act was upheld despite reactionary opposition."
