JUst oNe KinD of a RAtional Way EveRyone can support LaMar Odom – 3/12/09

Does it count if I personally bump up the comment count over the next 24 hours? :)

I am still not quite sure what it is about Odom we are supporting?

Dumb – check
Thuggish – check
Hated by Blazer fans – check
Deserved the suspension even if its a year late – check check check

for Lamar Odom, and should not be misconstrued as such by anyone posting in reply. To do otherwise amounts to a slanderous misrepresentation of the posters intent and should be subject to all local and regional if not federal and interstellar laws and unspeakable punishments.

Also, Rick Fox still stinks.

It´s the most important thing to consider from my point of view, because the game was scheduled 7PM WT and I waked up at 4AM Spain time, only to realize that the game had started at 3AM and I´d missed almost half the game. This situation has been repeated on Wednesday. After a whole season without any problem now I´m checking out games time using time conversors and find no answers, either time zones I´m getting are wrong or the schedule is wrong. The whole World is wrong and I´m getting mad. 9 hours from Madrid time zone to Portland time zone make 7PM, or 19:00, into 4AM, or 4:00. The same problem using ET time. Can someone reply to this post posting the time he´s posting at and the time zone he´s posting from? I´ve been posterized by my self.

and by the way, where was “Book it!” in our choice of reactions?

you are a Sly-waian Fox

Alexander… I wish I still had that t-shirt

Stern’s nightmare after the palace brawl was probably to see monthly NHL-style “empty the bench” fights:

At times, it hurts the occasional wrong player who really didn’t do much. Phoenix fans have especially painful memories about that (Amare, Diaw, later also Nash). But the rule is the rule and every player is instructed about it. Leave the bench when you are not in the game, and you get suspended. It sometimes might be against common sense, but where do you draw the line?

Oh, and you are pretty much on Bill Simmons side at least at the time of the Phoenix incident.

I don’t like him, but it’s a dumb rule.

Only guys who come off the bench to get involved in a fracas should be punished, and punished hard. Succumbing to instinct and taking a few steps towards the action is a whole lot different then actually getting physically involved.

stop the wussification of the league! Give Channing a raise if he socks Odom in the face

…………………………………………………………. He is incorrect.

1. I have this coworker who sits across the office. He has been printing out about 50 pages of something. That is okay by me, what bothers me is that he gets up after each page to get it out of the printer and he walks behind me to get to the printer. Each time he does, it makes my monitors shake.

2. Another coworker is a swell person but has a really irritating tendency. We will both be checking our e-mail and I’ll say, “So and so’s e-mail is ridiculous.” She’ll say, “What one?” And I’ll say, “The one he sent to all of us 10 minutes ago.” Then instead of just clicking her e-mail, she’ll walk over to my desk to read it on my monitor. I hate that.

jus’ sayin’

Whassup, doc?

It’s time to retire Po the Panda for now… and wasting time discussing such trivial matters as avatars is a good way to bump up the comments in this drawer de junk.

I know that was how Stern justified in in the Suns v. Spurs game

Did RudyT get hit because he left the bench, because he ran into a fight situations, or because Kermit was bursting from the seams with testosterone and muscles?

and what does any of that have to do with Odom? at least the L*kers still helped us by keeping houston down

Like this awesome way to chart albums of famous bands. I don’t completely agree with all of Josh Tyrangiel’s ratings (e.g. I like Automatic for the People a bit better), but just the idea to include that in the review of their latest albums as a service to people who haven’t followed every release was nice.

Some folks who commented only read the title. Each failure is a lesson learned and one step closer to success.

Look at this comparison of his age-22 season to Devin Harris’ age 22 season.

The best I can describe, he has the ability to finish of Jerryd and the passing of Sergio… This is actually a realistic guy to get, as Milwaukee doesn’t have money under the cap to sign him.

Sure, he isn’t the best point guard, but he’s a realistic target.

It is stupid and doesn’t allow a nba exec any leeway in the interpretation of the incident. I support the rule change, but not Lamar Odom. He is a dummy head….

Do you think when the Blazers have like five or six championships in a row and at least five max contract guys from their draft picks, that the NBA will make a Blazers rule?

Either due to a foul or some collision. From his highlight clips, he seemed to always be pretty aggressive attacking the rim in the ACB yet also under control. He usually looks down after a dunk to not land on someone’s foot and seems to have great balance. Did he ever fall to the floor hard? Do you think he will continue to go for the big dunks and oops as if nothing happened once his injury is over?

We still have a chance

0.1

What if this did happen in front of the Blazer bench, I mean Oden has these really big feet, and what if he just stood straight up and his big toes landed on the court, and then he’s suspended for "Big Toe Infringement", I just don’t think that’s fair.

I really, really don’t like the Spurs, by the way.

Go Lakers!

Who’s best case comparison is Martell Webster.

Did anybody see LeBron block Richardson’s 360 dunk?

Read an article talking about Darkhorses in the NBA on NBA.com….except…..he only talks about the Rockets.

I kind of raised my eyebrows and read it anyway. Then I got to the end.

Fran Blinebury covers the NBA for the Houston Chronicle.

Huh. Surprise, surprise.

How do you feel about South Park taking a shot at your boys?

Cream of wheat is cool and all, but what I really what are pancakes.

Anyone going to the Memphis game?

did you guys hear about the dude who flopped over dead after eating 48 of them in an eating contest?

yowzers.
