PrintThe actual lyrics here.
Can someone post the Rudylution picture in the comments? First one to do so wins a Bedgie.
It's not quite as bad as it sounds!
You will not be able to double team, brother.
You will not be able to let the defense cave in, and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on the pick and roll,
Skip out for beer during commercials, (There is no "'f' in Artest"...)
Because the Rudylution will not be traded.
The Rudylution will not be traded.
This will not be like your Xbox 360 2k9
In brilliant HD color and surround sound
The Rudylution will not show you pictures of K*be
blowing a ******** ********* **** with **** *********
******** also *** ********* without ******** ********
and **** ** like a ********** making ****** using **********
The Rudylution will not be traded.
The Rudylution will not be brought to you by Marca
Tiger Woods, Natalie Portman, or Spongebob.
The Rudylution has sex appeal.
The Rudylution is actually fice pounds thinner
than he looks because he's on television, brother.
Pictures of you scoring 5 points in 3 seconds.
Pushing the lead to 20, and giving us all chalupas.
Or sliding in for the backdoor dunk on a sick cut,
and a brilliant pass by Sergio.
ESPN wasn't able to predict this right
Or figure that the Blazers would get 54 wins
The Rudylution will not be traded.
the Rudylution will not be traded.
the Rudylution will not be traded.
the Rudylution will not be traded.

At first sight,
I thought this was another Trade Drawer instead of the daily Junk Drawer.
Anyways, I can’t believe my i-pod still works. A few days ago I had it resting on the arm of my couch when I accidentally knocked it off and it landed in my cat’s drinkwell fountain. I immediately jumped up and fished it out in about two seconds. I dried it off the best I could and even held it in front of the heater for a half hour hoping that might help. I more or less assumed that the damage had already been done. Then to my surprise last night when I turned it on it appears to be working as if nothing had happened to it. What a sigh of relief. I wasn’t really wanting to have to purchase another one.

Rudy = draft follower
I’m also very interested in the NBA draft coming up. I hope my friend Ricky Rubio ends in the right situation for him. I also want to see If the Blazers make some moves to improve our team.
hmmm those two statements could go hand in hand
at least i’m hearing that KP may trade up to the 5 spot with washington, Not that rubio is going to drop to 5.

Time for speculation on our favorite Spainard.
What will happen with Rudy Fernandez?
On one-hand, he is an automatic fan favorite. Dead-eye shooter, throws down mad-alley-oops, makes passes that no one else expects (through the legs, behind the back), plays with energy, gambles on defense (for better and worse), and is just so darn lovable.
On the other hand, we’re in a position bind. For now, he is only effective as a shooting guard… and we have Mr Roy in front of him, and he needs 35+ mins a game. The pecking order probably won’t change since Roy IS a star and can get to the basket at will. And Roy can play PG or SF, but with limited effectiveness. And Roy sliding over means Batum/Webster/Blake/Bayless is off the floor, which may be tougher to handle in time.
So… what will happen to Rudy? He appears to be too good to remain a marginalized back-up, but definitely you want to keep him around. But if we did move him, there is some serious value there, potential to upgrade significantly at another position.
Yeh lets trade him

yea it is pretty crazy
Sometimes I almost feel like I spend more time here now than then. I think it was because really because I don’t feel like I am spending time here during the season because I feel like I’m really doing something (watching the game and in the game day thread, talking over the results of games, screaming to fire nate/trade travis&serge, all that important stuff) as opposed to just messing around, which is what it feels like now.
This is definitely my top 5 thing to do (and lately it has been the top 1 thing) when I should be doing something else. And this “working from home” thing doesn’t help at all.

by getting Franklin Gutierrez and Endy Chavez he’s clearly emphasizing defense and speed. Its going to take time to undo all of Bill Bavasi’s idiocy, but the new GM (not even going to try to spell it) is off to a good start.

yeah signing and simultaneously getting rid of all young prospects for old “power” hitters that can barely bat .250 now was a stupid thing . VERY stupid thing
S
The Princess of Blazersedge
what do you mean?
they traded the best young prospect they had for a guy that was a Cy Young candidate the year before, not old power hitters. and signing Jr was one of the best decisions they made. he’ll draw people to the park and help up the revenue. They weren’t going to win anyway, but his locker room influence and the money factor make him well worth the signing.

yeah i know im not just talking about
last year … the moves made recently i am cool with.
its in the last 4 or 5 years im referring to in general.
S
The Princess of Blazersedge
I agree
The Junior signing was fine— the team is not going to contend this year, they aren’t paying him a lot, its a short term contract and its a good PR move.
The Jones for Bedard trade was the type of trade you should only make if you are ready to contend now, and at the time it was made it was a typical foolish Bill Bavasi move.
Currently playing the role of Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr in the 2009 BlazersEdge Mock Draft.
i defended that trade
because you win with pitching and at the time, Bedard was coming off a breakout year and was relatively young. He was the piece that would help us contend at the time. Remember they were coming off an 88 win year. But the offense just completely failed in 2008. Plus Bedard got injured, which threw the whole trade out of whack value wise. And now, if they trade him, it’s a complete failure of a trade. which would suck. i hope they keep Bedard.
by DrivetheLane on Jun 22, 2009 11:42 AM PDT up reply actions
that 88 win year was fool's gold
they had a negative run differential. that was not a contending team, whether they thought it was or not. jones has much, much more to give over the next 5 years than Bedard does.
Currently playing the role of Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr in the 2009 BlazersEdge Mock Draft.
but trading for a top of the rotation
pitcher would conceivably help you change that run differential, making you a contending team. I agree that Jones has more to offer over the next 5 years though. in hindsight, that trade probably isn’t going to turn out to be a good one, but at the time, i thought it wasn’t a bad deal.

Dave Cameron at USSMariner and Jeff at Lookout Landing both hated it immediately
Both those blogs are very sabermetric and analytical and they presented a great case against the move.
Currently playing the role of Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr in the 2009 BlazersEdge Mock Draft.
i didn't read that.
i’ve looked at those blogs once or twice but i don’t frequent them much. i’m a pitching > hitting guy so for the Mariners to get the 2nd best pitcher available in that offseason (Johan being the 1st) I thought was a good move. The in-depth numbers might have said Bedard wasn’t as good as I thought, but I don’t know those numbers. But still, I’d give up a young unproven prospect for a top-flight pitcher any day.

A twitter recommendation
Not sure if this is a productive action, or not:
If anyone is on twitter, set your location to Tehran and your time zone to GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut Iranians’ access to the internet down. Cut, paste and please pass it on. don’t know whether this will really help, but have to do something.

Every draft players and teams act like they don’t like or like players. Heck, I bet sometimes both are in on it. I reckon teams say, “Look we’re going to pretend we don’t want you just so no one picks you in front of us.” The Hasheem Thabeet thing with the Grizzlies is probably a smokescreen as well.

Would anyone be interested in a dog days of summer collaborative season preview?
There will be precious little to talk about outside of the junk drawers come July and August, so why not get way ahead of ourselves by speculating wildly about the upcoming season. I know it’s way too early to make meaningful predictions, but that’s part of the fun. Plus, there is nothing else with which to occupy our time.
I’m not sure what the format should be. I’m thinking either a roundtable discussion with 10 or so BE “experts” who each give a (short) take on a team for the 09/10 season or having a single person do a (slightly longer) writeup for each team. There are pros and cons for both, but mostly it’s a tradeoff between depth and diversity of opinion.

Gotcha.
I hear Earthquake, and immediately think California. I should have known better!
I almost never feel smaller quakes, and wondered if I missed another one.
yesterday’s (7:30am) earthquake was a 3.3 that epicentered in San Bernadino. You’d have to live on top of that to feel it.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
Yeah I usually feel them above 4.5, and it's iffy below though.
It also depends on the style of the shake… I never knew there were different kinds until I moved to CA.
yup
growing up in socal I always would confuse those low rolling quakes with loud engines
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
Exactly!
We don’t allow big trucks through the area I’m in, but delivery trucks are still allowed. So when we hear a rumble, we often look up to check if it’s a truck. Then it’s off to the earthquake site…
The worst one I was in was 5 or 6 years ago (during the San Jose Sharks playoffs). We were in a second floor apartment (with parking underneath, so nothing solid under us), and when the quake hit, we thought a mack truck had gone off the road and hit the side of the house.
I think I realized something
You know how folks have gotten bent out of shape because KP could have had Devin Harris? I think after the draft, people are going to be saying the Blazers could have had the 5th pick and gotten whathisname. People are talking about this one thing, in this one thread, like the Blazers already have the 5th pick. I think folks argue for something hypothetical, in trade posts, to the point where they actually believe the rumor.
I can see how they would be so disappointed. Trader Bob created a fanbase full of trade-addicts.
The funny part is that it's all rumors
None of those rumors may even be true. We don’t really know if he ever had a real shot at Harris, for example. It was just reported as fact.
I don't believe the Harris deal, since the two other involved teams didn't need what we were willing to offer
I do believe there can be a lot had in this draft from owners who don’t want to pay the luxury tax – if you are willing to give them cash, take back a bad contract, give them a mediocre vet for a pick, etc. Credible sources say CFOs and accountants are sitting in the war rooms for the first time for several teams.
Oh yeah, the underlying financial reasons for trades are the real news of this draft
There could be a few crazy (At least Ray Allen level) steals to be had this year.
I don't think it was Bob
I think that is sorta human nature (of the sports variety)

practical reasons are hard to argue against. I’m also convinced that an asymmetrical practical breakup is harder to get over than a passionate breakup. When nothing is wrong with a relationship, but it has to end anyway because of something like a job opportunity a great distance away there is no closure.

I’m convinced, however, that people are more inclined to stay in an passionateness relationship than break it up—Call it practical if you might. In the end, I think people prefer to be unhappy than to be alone.

Another Firefox question
I have the BEdge bookmark in my toolbar at the top of the page and it’s never had one of those nifty tiny icons before, just a generic icon. But a half hour ago I noticed that the New York Times icon is attached to the BEdge link. What happened?
It's a bit of a known firefox problem.
The easiest way is to delete the bookmark and re-add it. There’s also an extension that’s called “favicon” that some people prefer (I haven’t used it). It can add or remove icons to different bookmarks.
If you’d actually like to remove the icon without deleting the bookmark, here’s how to do it. You need to manually go into the bookmark file to do this fix.
Hey thanks
Good to know that it’s not an uncommon quirk. I went with the easiest solution, which was deleting it and adding it back, though it didn’t work the first time. The second time I deleted the bookmark, closed the toolbar, opened the toolbar, and added it back. That time it worked just fine.
No problem.
I’ve run across that problem a few times personally. I usually have given up on the feature. :)

I should have explained further, my bad
It’ll be worth $3M now or Thursday. So there’s no rush. But if they hold, they might be able to trade the pick and a player for an expiring contract, if a team is willing to up their bid beyond just cash.
They might not wait some other year. But this year, there may be a big effort to dump a contract with the pick.
gotcha
people say selling picks, and I think cold hard cash (or Visa) not expiring contracts since that won’t save immediate money unless there’s a medical retirement in the players immediate future (Mobley, Cuttino)

Could happen
There was a rumor the Nuggets would sell their pick immediately for anyone willing to take knee patient Steven Hunter with it.

I wonder if KP has talked to Presti about Rubio's contract and physical
It seems as though they have shared information in the past, and developed a repor after the oden/durant draft…
"Tough times don't last. Tough people do."
-Chauncey Billups
KP was a scout for the Spurs under Buford, while Presti was an assistant GM there.
They’re likely very familiar with each other, from before the 2007 draft.
But that being said, I suspect Presti wouldn't share info.
At least, nothing that would actually be helpful.
the problem isn't that he won't share, it's that without phone and internet in OKC
KP has to rely on the pony express to get letters back and forth to Presti.
Get it, Oklahoma is backwoods… all of it

I went from listening to two first-rate announcers, play-by-play ...
man Kevin Calabro and color commentator Steve “Snapper” Jones, when watching the Seattle SuperSonics to two braindead homers, play-by-play man Mike Barrett and color commentator Mike Rice, as soon as my favorite team packed up and headed east.
Heck, I’d gladly listen to the doltish ramblings of Craig Ehlo — who’s amusing in small doses — over Rice’s incoherent gibberish. Lenny Wilkens would be a tougher call, for I couldn’t stand him on the mic; however, his boring monotone voice and bland style would be a nice change of pace compared to the deranged, berserk Rice.
Just listen to Brian Wheeler to learn to appreciate the two Mikes
I’d rather have rabid dogs chew on my balls than listen to Wheeler.
Yet, it becomes an issue when the lines between the alcholism ...
and the dementia are as blurred as one’s brain activity upstairs.
Okay, I’m obviously being facetious here — since Rice is certainly of both sound body and mind — however, that was too easy of a joke to pass up on my end.
All kidding aside, though, Rice is probably a real nice person and a cool guy to hang out with on occasion. Regardless, he’s a shoddy color commentator who’s excessive in his homerism — albeit not to the gross extent of radio play-by-play guy Brian Wheeler — thus, as far as I’m concerned, he ought to be unceremoniously canned and replaced by a worthy candidate.

I can't blame you for that whatsoever.
Honestly, though, I don’t get the appeal of Mike Rice. Aside from Rice not being my cup o’ tea, nobody can deny that there’s smarter, more well-equipped guys out there who’d do a substantially better job than him.
Not only do I think Rice is a farce, but the way in which he panders to homerism bothers me. Instead of being intellectually dishonest with the viewing audience, I’d want someone as the color commentator who’s informative, straightforward, and unbiased in the role.
To be frank, the Portland Trail Blazers fan base would be better served with the return of Steve “Snapper” Jones versus the continued employment of Rice. Yet, that’s just my opinion on the matter.
Nope, for I'm still remarkably curious as to why you're so fond of Rice.
Y’know, I have faith that you can add something of substance rather than repeat lines of mine — although I don’t blame anyone for plagarizing my undeniably outstanding comments — as well as act in what appears to be a passive-aggressive manner.
No matter my button-pushing ways there, I’m truly interested in why and how Rice has a fan base. What is it about Rice that attracts supporters and advocates of him?
If you ask most fans of other teams who’ve been unfortunately subjected to Rice’s wretched announcing style on NBATV, they’ll frequently tell you that his over-the-top, homeristic shtick quickly wears thin with them.
I’m personally a fan of objective national announcers who are intelligent and exceptionally knowledgeable about the many facets of the game of basketball, with Hubie Brown, Doug Collins, Mike Fratello, and Jeff Van Gundy topping my list.
Heck, I wonder if it’s that I just have higher standards than most people.
Yes, your repeated, lengthy, mean-spirited attacks on a man you’ve never met are due to your high standards.

by robrun2 on Jan 6, 2009 8:46 AM PST
I assume that Mike Rice is a nice human being, but that still ...
doesn’t negate the fact that he should be fired from his job and replaced with someone who’s more fit for the position of local televeision color commentator.
Remember, I’m not judging Rice here based on his merits as a person — since neither you nor I are in a position to do so in any way, shape, or form — rather, it’s strictly an assessment of his inferior performance.
I respect that it can be tough for some people to remove emotion from the equation and view things objectively; regardless, that’s a necessary evil when evaulating a person’s abilities on the job.
I like Rice because he makes any game more entertaining
if I want good analysis, I can come here and see what dave or ben have to say, or I can go to O Live and see what Quick thinks, etc.
I blame Prez
I like him too
His shtick amuses me, even if it irks other people. I don’t expect objectivity or insightful analysis from anyone on TV.
But this whole thing is a matter of taste. It’s like getting all worked up and negative about whether Oreo ice cream is better than pistachio.
You're nuts and/or crazy, up to and including suffering from dementia
Oreo ice cream is on a total different level than stupid pistachio. Pistachio is the ice cream of war criminals and necrophiliacs.

Why are you dismissing the choice of ice cream for war criminals and necrophiliacs? They are people, too. People who like non-mint green ice cream. People who like to violate rules of combat and who love the dearly departed a bit too much. No reason to knock their ice cream choices, really.

Considering you suggested that I use "a mute button" with ...
regards to Mike Rice, it astonishes me that you wouldn’t just skip over my posts if the negative, yet stark truth is too much for you to handle from me.
Then again, hypocriscy seems to be your modus operandi — as you earlier took shots at Jeff Van Gundy, but got overly offended at my fair criticisms of Mike Rice — so whatever.
over my posts if the negative, yet stark truth is too much for you to handle from me.
so because you say it, it’s the truth?
I blame Prez
Well, I may've used the term "truth" a bit liberally there.
Despite my choice of words, though, that’s just how I feel about Mike Rice.
Anyhow, we all have our favorite players, announcers, et cetera. Besides, if we all thought the same thing it’d soon get really boring and life would thereby become a bland, pointless existence.
When it’s all said and done, I think Rice is a hack in spite of his seemingly sizable fan base.
Either way, though, my dislike of Rice’s announcing style won’t get him fired just like your enjoyment of him doesn’t keep him employed with the Trail Blazers; rather, it’s his bosses who make the decisions about whether or not he stays on the job, which isn’t you, I, Roybot, or anyone else at Blazer’s Edge.
fair enough
it’s very easy to see where Rice could be hated by other team’s fans, because he is such a homer. but that’s also why some of us love him. also, as i said earlier, it’s not necessarily great analysis i am looking for in my commentators, it’s the ability to keep me entertained in every game, and the commentating team of Barrett and Rice do a good job of that.
I blame Prez
Yeah, it's my abrasive tone that seemed to rub ...
people the wrong way rather than my opinon on Mike Rice — for I’m not the only one who shares it — though, to be frank, people needn’t be so thin-skinned whenever their favorite player, coach, or announcer is called out on their defeciencies.
It’s not like I insulted Rice as a human being, for my remarks about him were strictly work-related critcisms.
you guys need to keep going but i gotta get more popcorn...
that’s a new profile pic right AK? nice…a ittle same with a twist of different
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
I am assuming you are referring to me about being thin-skinned.
If you would remember correctly, this is what I said about Mike Rice.
I used to really not like Mike Rice at all but he has grown on me. Especially after hearing other teams’ announcers.
I never said he was my favorite. The problem that I (and I would assume just about everyone else) is the way you decide to share your opinions and force them on others when they disagree.
Certified blazer.fangirl
Okay, so it was my abrasiveness that ...
drew your ire. Oh well, you’re definitely not the first individual who’s been irked by my, uh, brash attitude.
Anyhow, I neither want nor expect everyone to share the same opinions as me.
So, although I may seem somewhat harsh and callous whenever expressing myself, I don’t want to convert everyone toward my side.
On the contrary, I thoroughly enjoy having back-and-forth debates about topics; that wouldn’t occur if all of us agreed with one another in peaceful harmony and whatnot.
In any event, though, I’m of the belief that people who get riled up over my style are indeed “thin-skinned” in at least one way; otherwise, my blunt nature wouldn’t bother them.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?!!??!

Huh, I figured Rachel Nichols would be busy with the never-ending Brett Favre story.

Call me crazy, but I personally find her more attractive than Erin Andrews.

For those of you not watching ATH or PTI today...
Jackie was just explaining how memorable this year’s US Open was (yeah right). She sat there and explained how the rain helped make it memorable, and the final Monday was unforgettable, and she won’t forget any of it. She explained that despite the rain and problems, Travis Glover deserved to win it.
And with that, she had her points removed.
Yep. :)
They were still teasing her about it after the commercial. She was the first one kicked off the show for the day.
Even my wife was laughing. There’s just something absurdly hilarious about stating an event is unforgettable, then promptly forgetting the winner’s first name.

Took us a while to find parking and such, but she was cool about it. We had a good time. She’s fun to hang out with and seemed to be having at least a reasonably good time. Didn’t get the chance (or, more accurately, he courage to use your kiss/bam/go get curly frys strategy). Gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek at the end. Left her a message today, seeing if she wants to go to dinner sometime, still haven’t heard back. Not sure if she’ll accept or decline, honestly. Even if she doesn’t though, no regrets. Got a little more experience and had a good time.

Just a question: Has that strategy really panned out?
I mean, they might have gotten good value out of their picks and deals, but the team didn’t become exactly earth shaking dominant.
2 reasons
1) having tons of cash like Boson and New York still trumps a lot of Oakland’s work
2) the rest of the league has caught up to Oakland in terms of advanced stats
Oakland had a long run where they overachieved their payroll, but now its getting a lot tougher because other teams aren’t stupid anymore.

*Boston* not *Boson*
I have to make at least one typo in every post. Its my rule.
Currently playing the role of Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr in the 2009 BlazersEdge Mock Draft.
#2 is a key point
a lot of the success in the Moneyball Era was the A’s achieving more than was expected based on their payroll. Everyone and their mother know nows that OPS (On Base % +Slugging) is important to scoring runs and the market for that skill has shifted and is starting to price it accordingly, where previously it was undervalued and the A’s could afford those players now they can’t.
the A's in the 2000-2001 were really really good.
the year that the M’s won 116 games, the A’s won 101. They were employing that strategy then. Of course, it helped that Giambi was a power guy that could hit for average also. But that was a championship caliber team, they just ran in to the Yankees and then couldn’t afford the guys. That was Hudson, Mulder, Zito rotation too. I think it’s on ok strategy, it’s just really tough to implement effectively.

Yeah, but they charge like $100 extra to deliver internationally. No joke.
I have a mailing address in Boston, but then my Mag collects dust :)
Maybe I do the 1 month subscription. But I don’t really care about what rumors the intern of Chad Ford has googled and what new stat Hollinger has thought up. And Simmons’ mag columns are free.
Wohoo, Ford has us taking DaJuan Summers in his latest mock draft. Alternatively Casspi and Jerebko.
This is really valuable info. And I think that’s what KP will identify as our key need: More 3/4 tweeners.
Though I have to admit I’m a bit intrigued by Casspi as he seems to be the closest thing to Turkoglu in this draft. Maybe Claver.
For every Hedo Turkoglu, there's a Vladimir Radmanovic.
There’s even more Damir Markota’s, Ersan Ilyasova’s, and Zarko Cabarkapa’s, too.
Anyone know how Ilyasova is doing over in Eurolandia?
I didn’t watch that many Bucks’ games the year(s?) he was a Buck, but during his last season with them I’d watch and I liked how he moved… he moved well for a tall skinny white Euro.
I wondered what else he could go, but he left.
Just curious. I dunno much about him.
Morty
He might be an option to replace Villanueva, but I don't know if he would come much cheaper
His numbers are pretty good (same with Fran Vasquez), he also won some Euroleague player of the week/month titles or something like that. When it mattered in the semi finals against Moscow he left me behind unimpressed. 1/2, 0/3, 5 rebounds.
he's had very good season numbers
10 ppg, 7.6 rpg (5.1 def, 2.5 off). 52% 2pt, 46% 3pt (with an average of 2.94 shots per game).
but he’s a bit inconsistent during top games, apart from Euroleague like Norsk says:
ACB finals
game 1 – 8 pts, 3 reb (12 min)
game 2 – 7 pts, 4 reb (24 min)
game 3 – 19 pts, 7 reb (27 min)
game 4 – 0 pts, 0 reb (14 min)
I bought it a few years back
and then let it expire, but I still have access to the online articles. I think free is a pretty good deal.

"Green room players" according to DraftExpress
Blake Griffin, James Harden, Hasheem Thabeet, Ricky Rubio, Jordan Hill, Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, Jonny Flynn, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, Gerald Henderson, Brandon Jennings and Tyler Hansbrough.
B.J. Mullens, James Johnson and Eric Maynor could possibly attend as well.
It will be cool to see Curry put on the Wizards hat
only to be told later that he has been traded to P Town
I blame Prez
Regarding the hats: I wish the NBA would end that charade when by all accounts a deal has been made
Like there was an interview with Rush still wearing a Blazers hat last year where he looked rattled because he already knew he had been traded. Or Arthur with a Hornets had but we had bought the pick and then immediately swapped him in the Batum trade.
sometimes the charade is fun though

Top 10: Jordan Hill — relatively
Rd 1: Can’t decide between Calathes (if he goes rd 1) and Daye. I think Mullens will develop slowly but at least into a decent player.
Daye could be awful or awesome. I think he reminds me of Lamar
if he ever beefed up. otherwise he will be just tooooooo soft.. toilet paper soft.

I need to vent about my shady twin sister.
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
When I got home from ballet,
she told me that she was going to see “The Hangover” with one of our friends. I said okay, thinking I was about to be invited as I am not going to see this person for awhile once I leave for Boston. When she didn’t say anything, I asked her if she wanted me to come and she said she didn’t. I was shocked and a little hurt by it, also by the fact that she never explained her reason for not wanting me to come. A little bit after she had left her phone rings and I pick up. Its our friend asking where we are, I tell her that Ellie left her phone at home which is why I answered and that I don’t know where she is because I’m at home. My friend then said, “I thought you were coming!” I was totally blown away, my sister is a shady fill in the blank.
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term

hmmm...well a couple thoughts
1) don’t jump to any conclusion just yet…esp calling her a shady you know what if this is the first time…
2) maybe she wants to get away to PLAN something before you leave…or get you something
3) maybe she wants alone time cuz you did something…
think cup half full first before you go all agro on your sis….if she doesn’t usually do this…

well, then she's a biznizz
to be honest…probably something irritated her and most likely, JEALOUSY that you are going on your own to Boston so she wants away time…

i might be wrong if she’s going somewhere too though…

Anyone listened to "talking ball"?
Rumor has it they think picks & a player to move up in the draft, the use that player in a trade for a vet (immediately or later).
Not Curry according to Quick
But like some outright hacks Quick has lost some reputation with me after he said the deadline would become a “watershed moment” in franchise history. Hello Mike Ruffin. I hope he has better sources now.
Celtics fans are dreaming of Travis and Sergio (lol), and Yahoo wants to have learned that they suggested switching teams with Detroit
Well, Rondo and Ray Allen for Tayshaun, Rip, Stuckey
those 3 would help the C's
detroit is beyond repair
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
Stuckey and Rip are mad overrated
If Teyshaun can be on a good team, he’d be great again, but I reckon he’s the sort of guy who doesn’t look as good with badness around him. Thus, his lukewarm recent season.
Unless Rondo is a total tool to be around and everyone truly hates him, he’s worth more than all 3 Detroit players combined. A PG who can defend, create, and score? Just not shoot, but everyone improves as a shooter so it’s not as much of a worry? Why you gonna move that, Aingey?
Morty
if KG is back, and with Prince to hold down the perimeter in replacement of Posey...
it would work…Pierce and KG carried the team last year…i think they can do fine without Rondo for a one year run until pierce and kg go to the retirement village

Just half-watched Step Up 2
While the wifey full-watched it. By half-watched I mean I did some projects while she watched so I wasn’t really watching, beyond noticing the main character girl sure wasn’t a very good dancer and the main character white guy was really dopey looking.
And the “hip hop” dancing looked like Napoleon and (Girl’s Name) who choreograph the “hip hop” dances on Thank You for Dancing (which is what I call SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE). They were so boring.
Lame for a dance movie is baaaaaad.
Mortimer
Your FACE expected anything else
What, a guy can’t share his Step Up 2 related thoughts anymore?
What I did expect was gooder dancing (you can do a billion takes and take long time to choreograph and perfect, plus hide stuff in the edit. You can do fancy crap, not middle school dancing crap). And a gooder soundtrack.
It ain’t that hard to make a good/bad dance movie. Good dancing should be a given.
Morty
right
but there also needs to be a good story, or at least an engaging one.
it’s one thing for there to be dancing, but that’s not enough of a draw for me to stick around unless there is some semblance of a good story.
I blame Prez
Now a good story I do not expect
None of them got a good story, but most have good dancing I can’t do at home.
All the stories are straight cliched cheese and are just there as a thin framework for dance scenes in the rain. But if the dance is bad, there is absolutely no reason for the movie to exist. That is my half-problem with Step Up 2, which I only half-sorta-watched.
but good dancing doesn't do it for me
there has to be some semblance of character development/storyline to keep me involved.
I blame Prez
What dance movie would you say has good character development and/or a storyline?
I would say none do.
They don't get classified as "dance" movies
They get classified as Olde Tymey Musicals, which are totally different and annoying on their own right.
I am biased against musicals though, because I just usually don’t like the music at all. And how broad they are performed. I like Jesus Christ Superstar though.
If I had to choose I agree
I don’t like dance movies, but all I’m saying is a dance movie has NO reason to exist if the dancing isn’t that good.
Since no one is there for the storyline.
But Step Up 2 is firmly in the "dance movie" sub-genre
It just doesn’t have good, creative dancing.
Just like a “comedy” can not be funny. It still counts as a comedy, it just doesn’t effectively fulfill it’s mandate.
I would say that it doesn't
Since it isn’t about dance really, it’s a teen comedy built around the high school cheerleading world.
But I’d be fine if it was listed as a dance movie.
Are you in my house?!
The wife had such a bad taste in her mouf’ from Step Up 2, she is now watching Y’GOT SERVED in the beddyroom.
Don't tell your wife
but the dopey looking main character guy is Wade’s buddy in the movie she is watching
NOOOOoooOOooOOooOOoooooooooo....
I’ve mentioned this before, but The Wife went to high school with Channing Tatum. I pretend they went out and I pretend I am jealous of him.
