Thank You Junk Drawer 4/14

Email
PrintThe gratitude on this site is absolutely overwhelming these days, and for good reason! I think it's also high time we thanked the Junk Drawer as well......with another junk drawer.
Anyway, all this thanking is reminding me of my favorite holiday of the year. Thanksgiving is great because it's an excuse to eat a ton, watch football, embarass your family and take four days off of work in a row. It's also an excuse for many to spend beyond their means in sales, which is clearly good for the economy and by extension, good for America.

Thank you Junk Drawer!
You are so much better than all the people we have to thank…
You don’t eat anything, you don’t make smelly farts that Jason Quick might smell, and if we get sick of you we can ignore you completely and you’ll make less noise about your situation than Michael Ruffin.
You always have stuff to read on slow days and sometimes it isn’t even stupid.
You made 92Was into a superstar, known and loved everywhere.
You give us a place to bitch.

Thank you, Mr. Drawer.
You are a refuge for ignorant analysis which would only trip up the quality work being done on the outside.
So, does anybody else think that Oden’s spleen is way too fragile? I certainly do.

Blazer's season opener is an official holiday on my calender...
i take that day off work every year.
thanks JD…without you, i wouldn’t know what to do with all my junk in the trunk.
if it wasn't for food, baby-making, and Blazers playoff tickets, i wouldn't be working
without junk drawer I would be left with little else to say
off topic is about all I got so this is my zone…
where else would I be able to tell stupid stories and publish pictures from News of the Weird?

Dave said we should go over there and join them in their open thread
I don’t know if that was what really ticked them off, as much as the comments over here implying that it was an inferior blog, because it gets fewer comments.
I didn’t read anything over there, just Dave’s post here, the comments, and the BE Sac thread. I see their point, it just wasn’t the argument they used. Instead it got all internetty, draft, playoffs, indignant like things get on the internet. It will blow over in a week and I got to call TZ a curmudgeon. It was fun.

3. NBA Season Opener

The draft is lame
I only cared the last few years because the team sucked. I’d rather they were good and make the draft less exciting.
by tominhawaii on Apr 14, 2009 11:54 AM PDT up reply actions
Yuh
The draft will be fun still because it’ll be even more of a surprise who we get, since it’ll all be in the late 1st and a few 2nd round picks, and most will be dealt since we’ll be set, and the guys we do keep will be Euros or surprise providers.
It will just be a different fun from the rapid trading hysteria KP has created lately. We ain’t gonna be in the lottery for a long time, and if we trade into it, well it’ll prolly be worth it.
I don’t want draft day, no matter how much I’ve come to love it, to be a holiday. It means we suck.

I might have to cheat on him with John Wall
Greg Oden = Robert Parish (HOF, 4x NBA champion, 9x NBA All-Star). The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 400 rebounds, and 65 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946.
Although Rubio brings great passing and defense
Wall is more of a Rose-type scorer, but also a good passer. Don’t know much about his defense, and he is smaller than Rubio. Both don’t have much of a jumper yet. But that would make the draft and next NBA season instantly more interesting if both declared.

Maybe you need to watch more Rubio :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSBLKrZCkeU (pretty crappy music, but some really nice things he does against players better than high schoolers).
I’m also excited by Wall, but I can’t say who will be better and would give Rubio the benefit of more experience.

Look at all those no-look and alley-oop passes. In Badalona he plays with a poor man’s Dirk Nowitzki at power forward (literally, he backs him up on the national team), formerly with Rudy, and with a small forward who is nice but no Travis/Nic/Martell. And with no Oden. He would soon kill in the NBA with those guys around him once he got used to the increased speed and his teammates to him.

I don't personally have a soft spot for the Schonz.
I arrived in Portland during his last play-by-play season, in which he proved it was time for a change. I understand his important place in franchise history and in the hearts of longtime Blazermaniacs, I just don’t personally share in the nostalgia. These days I mainly think of him as the guy who’s constantly shilling for Standard TV & Appliance. Consequently, last night I just thought of his performance as weird (though not terrible).
Hit it. Yes he did. Ohhhh yeah.

During his strongest years, as a radio pbp guy in the 70's and 80's
He was one of the best in the business. It’s no coincidence that he became the voice for the NBA’s long-running “fantastic” campaign.
He never recovered from the move to TV. TV wasn’t his media, and it showed during broadcasts. He was better at giving you the picture through his voice, not describing what’s already on screen.
If he still had the ability he had in the 80’s, I’d fire Brian Wheeler tomorrow. Nothing person, Brian.
Many franchises keep their pbp guys until they simply can’t walk to the microphone anymore. Schonz left while I was away from Portland, and I’m still surprised he’s gone.
that was the thing
It just seemed like he didn’t get the point of doing a pbp on television. His thinking seemed to be, well they can see the picture, why the heck do I have to explain it to them?
From the back of Travis Outlaw's Franz card: Travis leads the team in monstrous thunder dunks, wins awards for post game interviews, and often gets extra points for degree of difficulty.
From the back of Greg Oden's Franz card: Nickname: Jaws. Has an insatiable desire to tear rims apart while cruising the open court, and was once interested in using head-gear for his profession.
by TheOdenator on Apr 14, 2009 12:52 PM PDT up reply actions
He was outstanding in his time.
The guy I learned sports broadcasting from, learned his technique from Schonz. It was all about storytelling within the context of a structured method. Give people an idea of the inner workings of what was going on out there, but make sure to not forget the basics (Time Left and Score.)
He did a lot of things back then that many broadcasters hadn’t done before, but are common practice now. By the time the 90’s came around with Trader Bob and his new regime, historic was considered old and tradition was deemed as something that drew attention away from the current team. As such, he was forced out. It’s really a sad thing to see him stuck doing those ads now. It was good to hear him in such good voice before the game last night. It was only the second game I’ve been to all year, and I enjoyed that surprise.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
I'm with Badalona Baddie
I became a fan in the late 90’s, and by then Shonz was not that good. He was like an old chair or shirt that a guy loves and everyone else thinks is junk, and thankfully the new girlfriend made him throw it out. Listening to Shonz in the late 90’s was like buying a typewriter in the late 90’s. It didn’t makes sense and it is a waste to invest in old hardware.
Was this radio or TV?
I wasn’t in Portland at the time, so I don’t know what he was doing when he was forced out.
Late 90's he was doing mostly TV if I recall
It wasn’t the greatest fit for him cause he was so used to having the radio style. But I still thought he sounded great. A good announcer is a good announcer regardless of medium.
And compared with what he’s been replaced by, it makes his absence that much more glaring.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Ahhh if he was on TV, I'm not surprised at the antipathy toward him.
His radio broadcasts were simply spot-on. But somewhere in there, he became the true voice of the franchise, and everyone wanted him on TV. In fact, many people in Portland would mute the TV and just play KEX over it.
So he moved to TV, and it just wasn’t the same. I wonder if he never did TV in the 90’s, would he still be doing the radio pbp.
Nothing personal against the guys who like Wheeler, but he makes me wish for Schonz whenever I hear him.
It was good
Not the high notes, but overall.

Good suggestion!
Here’s another thought: Even though it’s not the best place for beer or food (a solid B+ to B- for both) McMenamins Kennedy School is always popular with out-of-town guests because it epitomizes the wierd/hippie side of Portland. Don’t go there strictly for the food or drink, but for the strange paintings on the walls, the people in the halls, etc. (Burgers and calzones are what I order.)
Also, this isn’t exactly brewpub related, but fun: a Clear Creek distillery tour.
True, they own the Bagdad
OK place for a movie and a beer. The sound/picture is better than many brew/food/movie places, but the food options (bad pizza) sucks.

David Lee, who's athleticism is underrated, isn't all too similar to Nick Collison. Unlike Collison, ...
Lee is an atrocious man-to-man low-post defender and weakside help defender. Furthermore, Lee is mainly a threat on the defensive glass — while his offensive rebounding percentage is just mediocre — which is mostly due to him focusing more on boxing out than guarding his opponent on that end of the court. Other examples of poor defenders who are awesome on the defensive boards are guys like Al Horford, Al Jefferson, Carlos Boozer, and Troy Murphy.
Out of those guys
Horford is the only one without an excuse. He should be/could be a defensive beast with his strength and athleticism.
M.
The Atlanta Hawks would be better overall if its starting frontcourt was Zaza Pachulia at ...
center, Al Horford at power forward, and Josh Smith at small forward — with Marvin Williams as the backup combo forward and a halfway serviceable free-agent signing this off-season as the backup center (e.g., Jamaal Magloire) — however, that’s probably not in the cards.
In addition, it’s my belief that the Hawks may as well renounce its Bird rights to Josh Childress by not tendering him a one-year qualifying offer this off-season. As the ballclub has shown this season, Childress isn’t a necessary cog in the machine.
The closest thing to a power forward version of Joel Przybilla is Jeff Foster, although Nick Collison ...
is also up there. I’d be satisfied if either Foster or Collison were the Portland Trail Blazers’ backup power forward, but the likelihood of that is next to nil. Among the two guys, Collison is the better offensive player, Foster is the better defensive player, and they’re practically equal to each other on the glass.
alright so this is really cool

cuz we would all still hit it
Other than death and taxes, only 4 things in this world are indisputable:
Brandon Roy is the BEST player in the NBA in the clutch.
Montana to Rice were the greatest to ever play the game.
The Four Horsemen of Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine and Avery were unstoppable.
No one protects the pipes like Luongo.

exactly! They say megan fox is too skinny but then kim kardashian is too fat.
Make up your mind! Do you like Hollywood “normal” or normal “normal”.
Because in reality, there is no “normal”
