Quatro de Mayo Junk Drawer

PrintAlright, let's get busy junking away. It's a new day, so make hay.
To start out the day though, two questions:
First, what was the last thing you bought online?
Second, is there a Blazer player with the tattoo "Most Hated"? I seem to think Outlaw or LMA had this tattoo, but I did some Googling and couldn't find anything.
Anyway, I've been trying to pick up a few Latin phrases as of late, so here's a poll: Which of these is most worthy of being a motto for the team next year?

The last thing I bought online was ammunition for my 22 magnum revolver.
It’s getting hard to find and my trusty revolver is my best friend while my hubby is back in Oregon getting our stuff. I hope none of the Blazers feel so hated that they’d have that phrase tattooed on their body. I don’t think Travis has tattoos. I like “Through difficulties to greatness” because I think it tells the Blazers story best. I need to go to bed. Big day tomorrow. What am I still doing here?

that's awesome... 22 mag revolver
I love guns. I have a Winchester 30-30 that was made in 1906 and has been owned by 4 generations of my family. It’s “the gun that won the West”. Lever action thirty thirty. Gotta love it.
You're talking about guns...

Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes
I like the classic Virgil quote, “Audaces fortuna iuvat” or fortune favors the bold.
or perhaps, “Non semper erit aestas” which means “It will not always be summer” which I think works two fold. First, it means things won’t always be easy (ie. playoffs) and, second, for us fans it means it’ll be the home opener before we know it.

I guess nobody here is a big Descartes fan hence no "Cogito ergo sum"
I guess nobody is a fan of the classical period or the subjective turn in Philosophical thought. Though I think “Cogito Eggo Sum” is an even better one liner.

Again guy simmer down
Look at my original post I never actually said Descrates wrote those words I was merely attributing them to Rene. Because he did start off the Classical school in Philosophy and was the first to take the subject turn.
Why are you getting so worked up about casual conversation? There must be something else you can use your powers of passive agressive behavior besides me.

I’m not worked up. Look at the number of posts you devoted to this and the number I have. I made a simple point: Descartes never said or wrote “Cogito Ergo Sum,” although it is frequently and incorrectly attributed to him. That was my point. Also, he did write one tract in Latin, but for the most part he was against classicism and preferred to write in French—which is relevant because his philosophical method (as you have pointed out already) followed suit by suggesting a dramatic break from past conventions of inquiry.
And let me repeat, I’m not a guy.
As for passive-aggressive behavior, time to look in the mirror. Again, I’m not worked up in the slightest. And if I were, you could expect some aggressive-aggressive behavior.

look, lady :)
1. Descartes wrote more than one tract in Latin. Both Meditationes de prima philosophia and Principia philosophiae are written first in Latin.
2. In already mentioned Principia philosophiae, Descartes wrote “Ac proinde hæc cognitio, ego cogito, ergo sum, est omnium prima & certissima, quæ cuilibet ordine philosophanti occurrat.” So while you are write that he did not specifically write ‘Cogito, ergo sum.’ it is really nitpicky to suggest that.. when he did..

you are write
i am not write to right that write is right..
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."
- Nic Batum
Thanks, gentleman, for not calling me guy! :)
Second, here: “Ac proinde hæc cognitio, ego cogito, ergo sum, est omnium prima et certissima, quæ cuilibet ordine philosophanti occurrat”
This is not, to me, “cogito ergo sum,” and it is published a full ten years after Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verité dans les sciences, after the point at which the “Cogito” had already been used in a pamphlet by another author explaining Discourse on the Method.
But, most probably, this whole thing is a front for my dislike of Descartes.

I agree it is not entirely the same.. but he did write these exact questionable words right next to each other in Latin. I mean, there are lots of examples of a famous quote being attributed to an author after the author is dead when the author clearly didn’t write those word at all. You are 100% right that his original text did not state things this way – but this wasn’t some anthologist writing years later, it was still Descartes. It is additionally an interesting quote for him to make (generally translated as something like “Accordingly, the knowledge, I think, therefore I am, is the first and most certain that occurs to one who philosophizes in order.”), because he is clearly paraphrasing himself and his own earlier work here. Who does that? It’s almost like he is saying “And.. everyone knows that amazingly insightful piece of knowledge ’ I think there I am’ is really where it is at.. booyah!”
absolutely cannot disagree with your overall stance on Descartes… epistemologically speaking, I am not with him on dualism, but I personally can’t argue against the man’s sizeable impact on mathematics.. but I think he borrowed a lot more from earlier skeptics than most history books note.
as an unrelated side note.. i do feel for sexual t-rex.. Guy is such a amazing term of low formality, and no female equivalent really captures it. Our language seems to enforce making small talk with men just because the terms ‘guy’ and ‘man’ (and, in some circles, ‘dude’ or ‘boy’, and in some other circles.. words i wouldn’t use on this forum)… but what is the correct unformal way for a man to address a woman? Lady is clearly more formal than it should be.. who uses ‘Gal’ anymore? Woman doesn’t work for an address.. and ‘girl’ is either condescending when spoken straight or a little bit sexual/creepy when said with a deep voice like ‘hey girl.. you must be tired because you’ve been running around in my dreams all night’

Some more for the offseason and next season (loosely translated)
Acta est fabula = over is over/the past is history (to get over bitter losses)
Ad gladios! = into the fight
Auri sacra fames! = damn the striving for fame/money (always helpful to lowball free agents)
Aut Oden, aut nihil! = Oden or nothing (to discuss our future championship potential. It’s of course Caesar or nothing in the quote)
Delenda Lakers = The Lakers must be destroyed (Marers would sound weird)
Or longer: Ceterum censeo Los Angelinem (?) esse delendam = Cato really really wanted Rome to destroy Carthago, and used that phrase to end all his Senate speeches
Exegi monumentum aere perennius = I constructed a monument that will last longer than iron (Paul Allen/KP)
Fluctuat nec mergitur = attacked by the flood but not sinking (from the shield of Paris)
Quot capita tot census! = so many heads, so many opinions (good for trade and draft suggestion posts)

no forced entry and nothing taken… totally lame “breaking news”. It could have been a friends house. All it says is a cop saw him leaving the rear of the house… These are the types of things that shouldn’t be printed in papers or on the net. Just makes the player look bad without any explanation of what was actually happening.
When I read that, all I saw was: Model citizen willingly complies with overzealous police officer, looking for a promotion or just some face time with the local paper, by throwing accusations at local star player.

How can this be used to get Wall to drop next year somewhere that the Blazers could reasonably angle themselves to pick him up…

Yah, like I said, I do like some of the songs from them.
Stuff like Links 2-3-4 and Sonne were really good. I actually like most of that album. Otherwise it’s just a bit too much of the same thing for me. I get the appeal though. Especially with their live shows. Only GWAR has more pyrotechnics/other show elements.

Didn't Descartes say that we are all dreaming when we are awake or something?
That seems like too easy of a solution to existential questioning.
"The refs have caused a bird-pig flu pandemic"
it could be..
Everything Descartes posed in his writing were the “logical deductions” of odd notions.. through thinking skeptically on the idea that we can “know” whether or not we are awake or asleep he deduced that there are actually never any sure signs by means of which being awake can be distinguished from being asleep…
but remember that Descartes loved paradoxical arguments… and many philosophers have attacked his work as lacking clarity due to the means by which he began the argument. For instance.. is there a difference between knowing that I exist due to the fact that I think and knowing that I think due the the fact that I exist? Likewise, does not knowing when I am asleep mean we are dreaming when we are awake or that we are awake when we dream?

Scout: Thabeet Is A 'True Center'
http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/58964/20090504/scout_thabeet_is_a_true_center/
In other news, Chris Paul is a true point guard, Chris Bosh is a true power forward, Shaq is a true center, and LeBron James is kinda good. Man I want to be a scout to provide tidbits like this to reporters.
P.S.: I’m not really sold if Thabeet will be a really good center, but a center he is at 7’3’’.
WRONG!
LeBron James is kinda good
He is really good, not kinda good.

Mind if I hate on Ben for a second?
Now, hear me out. I’m a lifelong Blazers Edge fan and I’ve been a fan since Dave won the Bloggers Invitational way back in 2007. I remembered reading his winning post and crying tears of joy with my grandfather. He was dying of a butt cloud and his last wish was for Blazers Edge to win the Bloggers Invitational. Moments after the victory, he died in my arms saying, “Screw you Canis Hoopus.”
So, don’t get my wrong when I bash Ben. I still love the guy and love what he brings to the team. I just have issues with his post on You be the GM on Oregonlive.
He’s entitled to his opinion and whatnot, but what bothers me is what he wrote epitomizes everything that pisses me off when I read stuff on the internet. Steve Blake is a backup point guard. I’m pretty sure he was resigned by Portland to be the backup pointguard, everyone knows he’s a backup point guard, and even Gilbert Arenas said as much on his blog:
It’s hard to sit here and nitpick, because usually your pure point guards are your backup point guards. Your Steve Blakes … before it was your Calderon … I considered him when he first came into the league a "pure" point because he never looked to shoot.
Steve Blake is a backup point guard, who keeps beating out the players drafted to start in front of him, and some how that is Blakes fault. Ben’s post basically rips on Blake using tired blogging “go to moves” because his favorite player can’t beat Sergio off the bench.
Basically, if you want to piss me off do these things:
- Pick a backup player, rookie, player from another team, or someone in the draft as your favorite player
- Build up your favorite player by tearing down any obstacle to him getting playing time on the Blazers (Normaly players on the Blazers in the same position, coaches, or the GM)
- Write with absolution and is you are the final word
- Define a players career by one play or incident
- Belittle anyone who disagrees with you as a “homer,” “someone who ignores stats,” or "someone who doesn’t watch other teams (Because we all want to watch Timberwolves games to promote Mike Miller’s game)
Ben didn’t do the last bullet, but he hit the other four for a stand up triple, with 3 seconds to go in the final overtime. It is not about getting rid of Steve Blake so that Jerryd Bayless or Sergio Rodriguez can start, it is about Bayless and Rodriguez working in the off season to build the skills that Nate wants in his starting point guard.
Rodriguez likes to blame the coach and has taken the easy way out by asking for a trade. My guess is that Bayless knows that the starting job is his to win if works on what the coaching staff wants in their starting point guard, and he will do everything he can to be the starter next fall. Trading Blake to make room is just giving the job away when every other player had to earn their position.
The answer to the Blazers starting point guard situation is as simple as this: It is either Bayless, or the Blazers have to trade for a under 28 yrs old point guard which would be costly and most likely unavailable. It’s all up to Bayless. KP won’t trade for a point guard for the next five or more years and keep Bayless, he’ll keep Blake.

I had major issues with Ben's post over there also
it read like something written by Jerryd Bayless’ agent.
Expect Sergio's agent to be flaming in La Marca soon
He is going to be in for a rude awakening when he finds out what other teams think about the “Sergio is one of the best PG’s on Earth” nonsense But yeah I thought Ben was a little over the top with that

Tom, is that you?!
Never have I seen such fire, such passion… come into my arms, macho!
Ben makes the best dump/trade Steve Blake case by far that I’ve seen. He’s entitled to like Jerryd, and let’s face it, Jerryd has many of the skills and all the athleticism we need at point guard. I agree that using Steve’s airball to define his career and stating that we shouldn’t even keep him as a backup was ridiculous, but I like that Ben wrote with absolutism (absolution is the formal remission of sin imparted by a Catholic priest as part of the sacrament of penance, according to my dictionary). He’s no fence-sitter like Krang.
Yes, Ben makes a case for starting Jerryd over Steve, but what he really wants to see is KP bringing-in a veteran point guard (1. target the starter; 2. obtain the starter, etc.). I’m disappointed that he didn’t give us a list of prospects, though that could easily have doubled the size of his already long post. You may not like what he wrote, but he did make a lot of valid criticisms. I’m not sure he could have made his points as forcefully as he did if he had softened the delivery.
I feel bad for Steve. He’s done nothing wrong but try his hardest to be the best player he can be for this team and Ben’s words are a slap in his face that he does not deserve. I wish Ben had just emailed it to KP instead. Well, if insults motivate Steve to achieve, he’ll turn into Chris Paul this summer after he reads this one.
Ben, a friendly word of advice: avoid Steve Blake for a while if you value your life.
I had an issue with it as well
Didn’t sound like anything Ben has ever done before. He ripped on Blake for shooting +40% from three point land. How many times this season did we just desperately pass the ball to Steve with less than 2 seconds on the shot clock and say “save us”? There were other points that I thought were wack, but I don’t wanna read it again.
"The brownies,'' Fernandez said after the game. "The brownies are good for me to make three-points.''

Not even then.
The only things to distract us all this Summer are, in order.
1. The draft lottery (to argue about who’ll trade their spot)
2. The draft (and trades therein)
3. Summer league.
4. Preseason.
Otherwise, it’s open season on speculation all Summer. Unless Serge, Steve, Channing, and Travis are moved, and we have replacements in positions needed, this will continue all Summer.
And hey, even if that did happen, the posts would just change to “were these really the right moves?”, “KP could have done better”, and “How do you think they’ll do this year?”
And “Bayless should start over all of the PG’s”, but that might not be a fanpost.
It’s just easier to pick and choose the interesting fanposts, fanshots, and front page posts, and stick in the JD otherwise. :) There’s still plenty of good stuff.

When I was in town to see the playoff games, we made a detour in Seattle
Went to see the M’s game. They stunk up the field… we left our seats after the 2nd to get food. 6 innings later, the M’s were still getting beat, and we were finally getting back to our seats (she’d never seen the stadium, and the game was really boring).
We saw the score, and that it was the ninth, and decided to leave and beat the rush. I never leave early normally.

who do you think has more trade value, Travis or Martell?
Travis is the more accomplished player and isn’t coming off injury but he’s also 3 years older and just laid a playoff egg.
Probably Travis I guess.
I would rather Martell on my team, honestly
he’s an above-average defender… Travis is a tweener.
Travis has far more trade value, I’d say.
draft dejuan blair
can we really say Martell is above average on D?
I’d call him average. He’s above average for the Blazers, maybe.
but I agree. Martell might be the better player and Travis probably has more value.
I dunno
AK1984 is probably the most pessimistic fan on the site, and he deemed Martell’s defense above-average.
draft dejuan blair
Martell has better focus and better strength
he really wants to play defense…
I would take Martell and a rebounding 4 over Travis in the second unit anyday.

Bynum was brilliant last year before going down
This year, he wasn’t as good as last year, but he was still quite a bit better than Greg. Bynum is much more fluid on offense.
I would agree on offense
not so much on defense and rebounding
Take away Nate's addiction, trade Travis Outlaw.

against some crappy teams
and his rebound and defense numbers don’t add up to being that dominant
Take away Nate's addiction, trade Travis Outlaw.
I want Kirk Hinrich!!!!!
his rebound percetnage is historically great for a rookie
and he had good games against Perkins, Biedrins, Noah, Jermaine, Okafor, Gadzuric…
draft dejuan blair
I agree on Bynum's offensive skills
but with K*be and Pau (or Alderide and Roy) I feel like I could build around Oden’s D and rebounding skills way more
I mean if I had to start next season with one of them as my starting 5, I take Oden 10 times out of 10
am I just too biased?
Take away Nate's addiction, trade Travis Outlaw.
I want Kirk Hinrich!!!!!
oh
I thought you were talkign about Oden, not Bynum. I was talking about Oden.
I take Oden 10/10.

I mean for all their idiocay
I think if you polled L*ker fans they would take Oden in a trade straight up tomorrow before game 2. I just don’t see the love affair with Bynum… on a crappy team he might be a Dampier or Tyson Chandler type…Oden he is not (even today)
Take away Nate's addiction, trade Travis Outlaw.
I want Kirk Hinrich!!!!!
^this
but if I am trying to win a game right now, I take Bynum.
BUT, there is a reason Oden was labeled as a “once in a decade” prospect
I'm not going to pass judgment on Oden
until the famous 1.5 seasons have expired post microfracture.
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
i'd take Greg...Bynum when healthy still didn't look good on Defense
Greg when healthy this year, looked better on the defensive end than Bynum IMO
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
this season? Bynum.
Long term? Oden. His rebounding is already incredible. Bynum was terrible on offense at first, but improved. Oden has so much untapped potential.

This keeps me believing in Oden
Strengths: One of those dominant centers that surfaces in the high school ranks every 10 or so years Has the size and NBA ready body that few his age possess Great athlete who runs the court with ease and excellent leaping ability Gets great position in the post and most importantly gets his body wide to give guards a good target to pass into Wherever the ball goes, Oden works the lane constantly working to get open Does a great job of keeping the ball high away from opposing guards Finishes well around the lane with authority via dunk, lay-up or put back Defensively he is a top notch shot blocker Possesses the lateral quickness to be an excellent help defender Owns pro timing as he doesnt bite on pump fakes easily Plays the game with a calm and mature demeanor Hands have a rare quality in that they are both soft and strong Rarely do passes get bobbled nor do balls get stripped from his hands Excellent rebounder who is not only a good rebounder in his area but is also terrific out of position Post game has already shown good improvement since high school Potentially Oden has few peers and has yet to scratch the surface of his potential Underrated passer who has shown decent court vision Does a great job of recognizing double teams and reacting to them Great character guy. Despite all the publicity Oden has received from an early age, he has remained humble and hungry to improve as a player
Weaknesses: Offensively Oden isnt very polished with his back to the basket Nor does he possess a big assortment of moves Needs to expand his shooting range, as of right now Oden is very uncomfortable facing the basket Has struggled when playing against strong aggressive players Although this is to be expected when you consider his age Still learning what he’s capable of, especially against big and strong opponents, he can go through periods when he doesnt dominate and often he will defer to his teammates Post footwork could stand to refinement From a fundamental stand point, he is still behind in development. As of right now he is often relying on pure athleticism and size Doesnt always finish after contact Can get into foul trouble when faced with physically aggressive players
nice...any word on his off season after he finishes summer classes at Ohio State?
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!

my guess is he continues to get back into that game shape he had at Ohio State and he works on regaining that explosiveness that he is sorely lacking right now…

Probably Mort
I think he can stand trade talk / team changes better than TiH
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
yeah, but I'm worried about his long term viability
TiH has been TiH forever and won’t change. I’m worried Mortimer might let his woman be a bad influence on him.

can't deny. Mort is weak when it comes to women. He has proven this

That's it I am never starting a Comment Thread like this again
I start off talking about who would you rather have Oden or Bynum and it morphs into
Rockets or Lakers
Jolie or Aniston
Mary Ann or Ginger
Alba or Beil
Ambrosio or Lima
Pitt or Clooney
Pacino or Deniro
Mortimer or Tom in Hawaii

disagree with her thesis
LeBron does a fine job with his image.
Agree with her points about black athletes though
I was surprised this was so long ago when I searched for it
Caused quite a dust up at the time. I have the jeebies about a lot of stuff I see regarding various racial stereotypes being perpetuated these days…but not prepared to take on a subtle argument like this…hill does rile up the masses though

Ok I'm going to bed

Try to keep it clean for the rest of the night so this epic junk doesn't end up getting junked.
