PrintWe had it all planned out, my co-worker and I...the third person in our little cubicircle would be gone for a week and a half, we'd decorate his desk while he was gone, signs bright colors, maybe some ballons to let him know he was loved... and embarrased easily. He was to return to work today. Slight problem.
He went to Honduras on vacation...

I’m a lot more convinced that

Oden/Przybilla
would win a title.
then who are you giving up in that case?
Blake for Hinrich straight up? And how did you get Battier?

Sergio donated his house in Portland to a poverty stricken family having trouble paying their children’s medical bills.
Only to shush them up
He had gotten their sick daughter pregnant upon visiting her in the hospital— and he was only in the hospital for community service because of a vehicular homicide charge he somehow got a lenient punishment for.
(If he really donated his house then don’t mind me, that is very nice of him).
sergio learned from rudy how to impregnate women just by looking at them?

I like Sergio very berry much
I just think his game isn’t worth the devotion and hurt feelings, is all.
I rescued a puppy. Sergio blew up a hospital for orphans. I won’t say who is a better person, but the better person is me.
Meatimer was the one who faked Sergio's voice and called his spanish agent to demand action.
Sergio never was able to set the record straight because he was too busy making terminal children’s dreams come true at the hospital.
It's epic like two juveniles arguing about who's better at DDR.
Everyone loses here:
- Catman loses respect for the most nitpickety attack on Mortimer I’ve ever seen or even done.
- Mortimer loses respect for not harpooning him with a few biting, clever retorts.

- Sactown Royalty readers lose because Mort and Catman took over their Sergio thread and there was not even one cuss word.

Anybody have experience with lucid dreaming?
I had a crazy sequence of dreams last night in which I became lucid. It was one of the stranger experiences I have ever had. I never really had control of my dream even though I knew it was in fact a dream. Eventually it turned into a nightmare and I remember trying to make myself wake up. I woke up and was in my bed, except that I was actually still dreaming, and didn’t know it. A young girl started clawing violently at my window and bleeding out of her eyes. I could feel my bed vibrating and truly thought I had woken up from my dream. I was just starting to scream when I actually woke up. Strangest ish ever…

Sell that one to Hollywood man!
Yeah, I have lucid dreams frequently.
You know those parts of dreams where something bad happens, like you die, and it is supposed to shock you awake? I just don’t die. I see the terrible thing behind the door and then kill it violently. I fall through the clouds and hit the ground, then get up and go looking for something to eat. I get shot over and over again (and it hurts a lot in my dreams) until I get so mad I find the shooter and murder them. Except for this one time when the shooter turned into a golden retriever when I reached him. Then I couldn’t kill him cause he was just a poor cute dog.
Your lucid dreams sound like they are less fun than mine (unless you are bored and want to watch a horror movie).
It was the first one I ever had...
I am hoping for more in the future so I can experiment more…

So the last two years, the Rockets had short near-dominant stretches without Yao
But now they’ll likely be without him for (at minimum) a full season, and there’s no Mutombo to back him up. Are the Rockets on the verge of being the odd-team-out next season? Will they make a huge trade this Summer?
with their current roster, even without Yao, I still see them as a playoff team, perhaps the 6 or 7 series.
I could even see them winning a series. I have that much respect for the likes of Battier, Scola, Landry, Hayes, Adelman and (most of all) Morey.
I can't blame you for respecting them.
After they thumped us, I had to tip my hat to them, especially after seeing them in person twice.
If Yao’s out and they don’t have a good alternative, I have to wonder if they’ll move someone like Shane for younger pieces. I’m wondering if Yao is just the first domino to fall now (hmmm perhaps “falling” isn’t the best term, but yeah).

The question to me isn't so much can they be good for 5 games without Yao/T-Mac
but how good can they be for 82 games? I honestly don’t know
The outstanding defense from Hayes, Battier, Landry, etc. isn't going anywhere
I would be shocked if the current Rocket roster, even without Yao, finished outside the playoffs. I’d have them pegged as a 6 seed or so, higher if TMac is reasonably healthy, which seems unlikely.
Fisher and Blake
Will be traded to each team before the Rockets play them, all 82 games.
Brooks will be the new Isiah Thomas.
They will struggle to score, for sure
but Brooks, Wafer and Scola will provide enough offense that their elite defense will still win a lot of games.

That's gotta be a huge if

I think anything they get from him is a bonus, but I don’t expect him to really play this season. How could he? He’ll need at least 8 months to rehab.
and Tracy is going to come back next year.
Houston will be a good team. Not title good, but possibly 2nd round good.

The Surgery was performed on Feb 24th
Decent chance he’d be back for the stretch run, but at way under 100%.
Yeah, I wonder
When the Amare rumors came out, I remembering saying somewhere around here “Maybe Yao’s injury is worse than they thought it’d be”. Of course, that was after it was reported he was out “indefinitely”, so it didn’t a lotta brains on my part to suppose it.
They did well with their small ball lineup of hustlers and role players. As we all saw, took the Lakers to 7 games with it, and usually have a good record doing it otherwise.
I dunno if it just works because teams prepare for Yao and McGrady so much that the role players catch them off guard, or if the role players are good enough to be the “stars” of a blue collar role player team.
I think, either way, they ain’t winning a title, and should start over.
Morty
I mentioned similar above
They might move Battier to help regroup by getting some younger players. Totally guessing though.
Memphis needs a vet leader like him
They should trade Rudy Gay for Battier, to give Houston some young talent to start over with and Memphis gets a veteran defensive leader to help corral the young stallions.
I forget who
But in baseball a player has been traded for himself before…
I am glad someone got it and didn’t say DUH THATS WHO HOUSTON TRADED TO GET BATTIE-EH.
I would love for a trade like that to happen.

probably their best course of action
would be to clear cap space and try to make a run at Bosh
She Hate Me
They won't need to clear much cap space.
Even if you figure that Yao picks up his $17.6 million option next summer and they excercise the team options on Hayes and Brooks they will have a good chunk of cap space heading into the summer.
OR
They could try and convince Toronto to trade Bosh instead of lose him for nothing and try to trade TMEC+filler for Bosh+filler
Even if you figure that Yao picks up his $17.6 million option next summer
Houston heard there’s an option for a career-ending injury exception. They think they heard about it in e-mail from some exec; they’re not sure.
But they also heard it takes two years of inaction. So they retroactively added Yao to the disabled list as of the start of last season.
Does it really take 2 years of inaction?
The Salary Cap FAQ doesn’t mention anything regarding time away from the game.
Hmmm that was my understanding when Portland got the cap relief
I swear it was written that they had to wait until the two-year mark to attempt relief.
Now you’ve got me wondering. I’ll try to look it up later.
I always read it was a two year process
Of the playing being injured that long, and all the tests and reviews that get done over the time.
Perhaps for knee and foot injuries an informal 2-year period is observed
but in cases like when Cuttino Mobley’s heart ailment occur, I was under the impression that the Clippers, could have applied for the career-ending injury exemption much sooner than 2 years.
There are different exceptions. One is for players who are out for a season, there you can get one replacement player who makes up to half as much as the to-be-replaced player, but that doesn’t take the injured player off the cap. We could have done that for Oden or Raef, but the league doesn’t always allow it (e.g. Orlando didn’t get one for Grant Hill). The other one is medical retirement, a la Miles.
I wonder if the Rocket players will still be selected to the Allstar Game
I bet Landry kills LA in the voting, and Yao doesn’t play a minute….
by EvilKaramazov on Jun 29, 2009 4:03 PM PDT up reply actions
Who are they going to trade?
Outside of TMEC what assets do they have? They can’t trade Yao because of his foot. Scola,Landry, Hayes, Lowry and Brooks are so cheap they aren’t worth much in terms of salary matching, but are key parts of their team.
I would sell high on Brooks
I think he is overrated and not that great. SELL HIGH.
Hayes could be sold high as well, now that he is so well regarded as a role player. Landy is enuff. Just don’t get shot again.
Without the greasy hair
He’ll be easier to box out and guard.
I hope for his sake, he keeps it stringy n’ greasy.

The other one.
No Firebirds there, but there was a 1970 (or so) Camaro convertible you might have liked.
The last Camaro convert was 69
until the 90’s. Brentwood is a little far anyways

I still haven’t quite figured out why they were in the first place. I believe it is the only time I’ve had comments deleted here.
btw – thanks for the support on the “Have to make a big move or else” topic. There are times that I think concepts like faith and hard work don’t register with a lot of people. They can’t grasp that as a fan you sometimes have to have faith that your team knows what it is doing and has the ability to accomplish great things. And you also need to understand that numbers can’t tell you everything. Hard work can make up for a lot. I like having guys that are willing to work hard, even if there might be other players out there who are better. Often, being good enough and out working your opponent earns you as much success as simply being better than everybody.

That thread, interesting though it was, was off-topic. That wasn’t a junk drawer, as I recall.

Does anyone else have a mother like this?
Mom got a new computer. She told me that she used to have a Mac Gmail, but now she has something different but can’t remember the name. She upgraded because she wanted more of those sheepy things. Oh, maybe they’re called rams. Anyway, her tech guy told her she can’t use AOL anymore, but has to use that thing from Africa to get on the internet. She’s looking forward to reading this one guy’s blob, because he mentioned her.
lol
I used to work as tech support for one internet provider. One time a lady called and said her internet didn’t work so I asked her what the lights on the modem were doing. She said, “Is that the box?” And I said, “Yes, it’s black with red and green lights on it.” She said, “Oh, I mean the box on the floor, I haven’t opened it yet.” It took me 30 minutes just to get her to plug it in.
Good one!
She’s great when it comes to celebrities. She’s the only person I know who actually subscribes to all of those magazines in the grocery store checkout line.
I'm just glad she has a tech guru (and not calling me)
She’s probably funding his kid’s education at MIT.
Is there a real blockbuster guy who fits and is available for the Blazers?
I ain’t hating on that guy from Chicago, but if the Blazers traded for him, no one would think the Blazers were instant title contenders. And if you tell me any of the guys who’ve been traded lately, then I would question your opinion on stuff from this day forth.
I doubt there is a blockbuster guy
But I do think the Chicago dude would help make us contenders, since our only weakness (TRUE weakness) is defense and he directly answers that problem.
HOWEVER, to be true contenders, it will come from Oden’s development, along with the other guys. Organic improvements. I see us doing trades, but not for a slam bang superstar type. I don’t think we can get one who really matters THAT much. Only one that fills in our holes we crave to be filled.
Like defense.
Organic improvements is the key
Shav becoming that backup banger 4 would make us instant contenders.
The Blazers played like a title team for the last ~25 games last season
Getting Hinrich would instantly make the Blazers fringe title contenders. Far from favorites, but contenders. If you added Hinrich, and this Oden guy gives the Blazers 2500 minutes at the same level he played last year, the Blazers would be legit contenders.
2500 minutes seems like nuttin'
I was reading John Grisham this week…young lawyers are expected to bill 2500 hours a year. Oden just has to do 2500 minutes.

I’d rather we trade for someone we KNOW can murder a black woman, not one we just suppose could if put in the right situation.

He’s like 60, and if he hasn’t murdered a Nubian Queen yet, he isn’t like to just start a’ murderin’ away simply because we traded for him.
Usually you can recognize the best Ebony-female-themed-murderers in their early 20s. At least show signs of the POTENTIAL to be able to. OJ is at the end of his career, and if he hasn’t done it yet he never will.

Is a lot of guys just seem like they’ll help the Blazers get out of the first round but I don’t know if Oden getting better will do that on his own. I think the Blazers need a better point guard, but I don’t see anyone getting the Blazers over the hump. Unless it’s an OMFG trade, and I don’t have faith in that happening.
I listened to the podcast Ben was on and Gavin was upset there wasn’t a trade just because everyone else was trading. That’s why I axed the question.

It really seems to depend on the team

Remember when the Spurs signed Brent Barry to a contract a couple of summers back after losing to the Lakers in the playoffs? He was viewed as the missing link to their championship puzzle, and he didn’t even start if I recall correctly.

i had to clarify
i didn’t want to sound too flippant with a “bye bye frye” comment…I love love love Frye, so i wanted to make it clear I wasn’t happy to see him go. I’m gonna’ miss that dood. a lot.
Oh yeah. He's one of those guys that I hope has a role in the org after retirement.
He could do some great community stuff 10+ years down the road. Or hey, maybe he can take over Talkin’ Ball. :)
I hope a thread meant to honor him turns into a bash session
I think he can be a starter for the right team, and put up 14/6 like it was nuthin’.
He just isn’t right for a backup role, for us. He’s got talent, and I admire how well he handled last season, during a contract year.
I do miss Channing, the guy.
Well gosh if anyone deserves it, it is Channing
After all the complaints he made about his role to the press, I mean yeah it was a contract year but maybe if he was a good soldier Nate would play him more.
Its a complaint to "the system"
Channing is a good soldier in a contract year and still gets screwed, though we can respect him for it. Our respect don’t put dollars in his pocket.
Sergio (through his people) complains and gets mo’ minutes. Gets traded to a perfect situation for his contract year.
I’m not sayin’, I’m jus’ sayin’. Channing got jobbed.
I'm sure Channing has no regrets.
The Blazers rescued him from the the Isiah Nix, he discovered a city he loves, met his wife-to-be, and made a lot of friends on and off the team. It’s all good.
yeah, its not the team's fault he played horribly
Neither Channing nor the team owes the other anything.

I have carried those peeps in my chart too (minus the most recent ones, will update in mid-July)
Problem is, the Blazers might have already cleared some of those holds without people knowing. Some websites track those contracts, but even they admit they can’t know exactly how the books look and which rights are still held. E.g. a player should come off the books a year after his last professional contract is up according to the CBA. This would be the case e.g. for Marcelo Nicola who is now an assistant coach in Italy. But it could also be true for Schrempf & Co. who don’t have a contract anymore for a long time but just never handed in their retirement papers to the NBA for whatever reason. (Schrempf is on Twitter by the way, but I don’t have the link ready. His oldest child just graduated from high school.)
this is awesome

That sounds like a vampire.
You wanna wear old Victorian era clothes and and have powder white ivory skin as well.
And go on good ol’ fashioned homoerotic vampire adventures.
I AM ON TO YOU.

Nah, let's switch Sasha Vujacic with Becky Hammon and homoerotic with heteroerotic.
Yet, I’d rather go ’90s style and have Hammon wear a baby doll dress with knee-high boots.
can the undead
have a sexual peference
It is just flesh they want

That's what they want you to think
They’re like, "Oh, it doesn’t matter if we have sex, I’m an asexual undead who only wants brains and such, it won’t “count” if we do it".
It’s all a ploy to get some trim.
do dudes have trim?
I guess they can always say
“being considered gay is least of your concerns, necrophiliac”
I feel I may have just crossed a line.

SO NAIVE
A necrophiliac wouldn’t like a walking and talking undead, silly. GOSH. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE SOMETIME AND GROW UP PAL.
A walking talking undead is always tricking people into making love. I had, like, a billion friends in college who would only pretend to be undead to get a dame to be comfortable with no-strings attached relations.
You would at least get the
the cold flesh sensation and maybe some new stuff that could help you bridge back into normal society

That's true!
Kinda an inbetween for the reforming necro. Can’t just go “cold turkey”, as it were, you gotta taper your necro tendencies to avoid withdrawal.
I am the one who is naive :-(
Man, waiting is crazy.
Waiting for summer league, waiting for the morning, waiting for a new phone, waiting for school to start, waiting for the season to get rolling, waiting in traffic.
hold the phone
GO
THE TEACHER ......come into my classroom "THE PAINT" for some tutelage.

Long jog through parks and forests. I hate huge British dogs. Lots of little rabbits.
Some Earl whose name escapes me again erected a huge 50 ft. obelisk for the birth of their son in the middle of nowhere on a hill. Today they would just send some cards and make a website.
Following MJ's death a ton of celebrities are supposed to have died as well. Latest was supposed to be Mr. Rick Roll
I wonder who makes up those stories
Couldn't get a regular lined college notebook in a bookstore in London. They did sell 3.5" floppy disks though. Lol.

what is up with seasons 3,4, and 5
of the wire
not so great
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!?!?!!?!??
Season 3 is the best season of that show, and one of, if not, the best ever
She Hate Me
disagree
it is like a long set up for nothing of any substance
seasons 1 and 2 had the formula and it worked
3,4, and 5 dropped that with no gain.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
I thought Season 2 was the weakest
although I didn’t think 5 was that great either.
3 > 1 >4 > 5 >2 IMO
She Hate Me
I would say 2 not as great as 1
3 was all right, but 4 and 5 are pretty disappointing
moving onto deadwood soon

I am not to a serial killer arc in s5
I am 2 episodes in and hating the introduction of the paper with so many loose ends from back in season 2
and what is with putting less focus on the most interesting characters just to add new and less interesting characters? Cmon

You should write some fan fiction about what they don't show
Fan fiction looks good on a resume! I don’t think Norsk and BRP mentioned that.
necros
and made up sets from terrible shows
Those pop off of a resume

It might not work for every job
But it’ll work for the RIGHT job.
And that is what you’re looking for.
i take it you really wanted to follow the same characters
season 3, 4 and 1 were my faves, in that order
