6/6/09 Junk Drawer: I'm not a nerd

Just back from the Hangover.

EPIC comedy. Think Very Bad Things meets Old School meets Memento.

was it mostly slapstick or was there some wit involved?

Have you seen Very Bad Things? It’s a similar feel, except without the death and really, really dark humor. It’s from the director of Old School, so it’s that kind of humor. It definitely earns it’s R rating, but it doesn’t feel dirty or like they’re trying too hard.

well i am, but i dont really follow celebs all that much. since conan sits in his chair 80% of the time, you don’t really realize he is that tall either until he says something or on the rare occassion he hugs an actress.

Yeah, he's 6'4"

But he looks waaaay tall because he is all legs. His torso is like 12 inches long, and the rest are daddy long legs type legs and a big Irish head.

Whenever a celebrity is somewhat short everyone always makes it out like he’s a midget. I’ve met Jean Claude Van Damme several times now and he’s around 5’8" or so, and everyone always says he’s 4’11". Same for Stallone.

They aren’t tall, but they look mostly normal in person… at least after hearing how midgety they is.

Blake is that girl you have known forever, and you think you are about perfect together, but there is room for improvement in the looks department (looks aren’t everything, so sue me…)

Hinrich is the high maintenance girl, who is also insanely hot.

Bayless is a girl you see around the workplace who has a lot of potential once she matures a bit more.

You are the KP of your love life

You got potential PGs to choose from, but which is right for you?

Well, ya just gotta know what ya need from your PG (READ: YOUR PARTNER, I AM SPEAKING IN CODE). If you’re fine with the status quo and like losing in the playoffs (READ: PLAYOFFS = LIFE), ya stick with Blake. If you desire defense and better offense you choose Hiney-rick.

And if you like lil’ tiny guys with pervy pedo-staches, you pick Conley, though I’m not sure why you want that.

Ya gotta put on the KP hat! And what does KP do? He compiles a book on each candidate. He learns everything about them.

Before the meeting this next week, go interview their school teachers, elementary, high school, everything. Interview their gynocolegist, make sure they won’t need microfracture in there. Check the teeth for diseases, kick the tires if you will.

You compile this information to prepare you for your meeting, and you will feel a lot more comfortable about how you feel about these girls after the interview.

Actually, the Kobe lovers are lovin’ loudly and the haters are hatin’ silently and me, well I’m way more in the middle on this performance of his than any other Laker fan on the planet, I’m pretty sure. A couple nifty moves to the rack, sure, but mostly jumpshots, amazing though some of them were. Mr. McMamba hoisted 34 shots to score 40 points. That’s high, high, high volume but just semi-okay efficiency. This was a really good Allen Iverson night for Mr. Bryant, let there be no mistake…

………………. Imagine someone coming to BE, saying their main team was the Lakers and they’re only about 85% on Brandon Roy because they think he’s too big of a gunner sometimes.

There ya go.

My True Line about Kobe is this: the only thing that Lebron James does better than him is get to the rack. Every other basketball skill, Kobe does better. But comparing the two is dumb because they don’t play the same position.

Obama's such a great speaker! Here's his speech commemorating D-Day, for those who missed it:

Three score and five years ago our grandfathers brought forth on this continent an invasion, received at Normandy, and dedicated to the proposition that our men are without equal.

Then we were engaged in a great war, testing whether this nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, could long endure. We were met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate… we can not consecrate… we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and this government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Robert Dozier also investigated for cheating on SAT. Yeah, a jump from 4th percentile to top 25% is a bit suspicious :)

"Of greatest concern is the gross inconsistency in his testing record," the committee wrote in its report. "His [SAT verbal score of 590] would place him in the 76th percentile nationally, while his [SAT math score of 670] places him in the 89th percentile. This raises a serious red flag, since his PSAT from October 2000 places him in the 4th percentile nationally in both areas. Such a remarkable improvement in testing abilities in the span of nine months is highly improbable, particularly for a student with a C-minus record in average college prep courses in high school."

He actually got a sufficient score on his second try, but the NCAA flagged it because it had increased a lot and only accepted it once his third try was again as high. He worked in between the second and third attempt waiting for admission.

The other stats they have from 82games are also interesting

TT dunks a bit more and LMA shoots more jumpers but is still more efficient. And he is even better on defense which Bulls fans always touted as his big soft weakness. LMA playing on PF has a PER of about 21 and holds his opponents to 15, while TT has 17 and holds his opponents to 18. If he improves a bit in the next 2 years that gets close to All-Star level.

by Norsktroll on Jun 6, 2009 9:34 AM PDT up reply actions

Yeah, I don't get that hyping of TT

He really isn’t that good of a defender, and is only better at blocks. He’s not as quick on the perimeter as LMA (and yes, that IS important, when every team does the pick and roll and tries to get the big on a guard), not as long or strong inside (yes, he’s not even as strong as LMA), and has never ever ever ever seen a pumpfake that he wasn’t CONVINCED was an actual shot.

Tyrus is a very athletic but dumb defender who gets caught napping one play and then blocking a shot the next. It looks fine (except for loving to love pump fakes), but it isn’t really defense.

LMA isn’t a great defender, but he can be an underrated one. He doesn’t challenge as many shots as he should. But he stays mostly alert, has improved greatly, and he doesn’t get out-strengthed anymore (of course with Oden back LMA never has to guard the big centers anymore).

Aside from blocking shots and probably rebounding percentage (but not offensive rebounding), LMA is better at everything.

AND THAT IS FINE FOR TYRUS. He will still be a good player. They shouldn’t want to keep trying to compare the two and should just enjoy Tyrus on his own merits.

by Mortimer on Jun 6, 2009 10:01 AM PDT up reply actions

Agreed. Tyrus is a fine player, I just take Aldridge over him based on what he can already do over future TT potential

by Norsktroll on Jun 6, 2009 10:15 AM PDT up reply actions

And it also ain't as if LMA is done potentializing

He’s still got the same room to grow, if not more than Tyrus, due to LMA’s stick figure body still filling out and additional length and hands and running ability.

LMA is better now, and he isn’t done getting better. He isn’t a finished product. Tyrus will certainly get a lot better as well, but he’s got to add a lot more skills and offensive/defensive awareness that is a lot harder to add than bulk and experience (which are two things LMA has had to add and will keep adding).

I get annoyed enough when LMA takes jumpers, imagine being a Bulls fan with Tyrus, who has no business taking a jumper, ever, yet still does as one of the worst perimeter shooters in the NBA. When LMA pick and doesn’t roll, when he pops, I wanna smack him, when Tyrus does it he should be suspended.

Aldridge's name didn't come up until Norsktroll posted about Aldridge.

And arguing who should have drafted who is pretty pointless because the environment in Portland versus the environment in Chicago has been totally different. If their positions were reversed there’s a pretty good chance that Tyrus would be the more accomplished player at this point.

by Scotter on Jun 6, 2009 10:30 AM PDT up reply actions

I have to say that's one of the things that's always intrigued me about Thomas

What kind of player would he be if he was in a place where player development was a top priority?

by Corvid on Jun 6, 2009 10:33 AM PDT up reply actions

Even though the team helps with development...

Reponsibility for development still ends with the player. If Thomas wanted to develop, he had many team resources, and heck, he could pay for external resources if the team wasn’t helpful (and it would pay dividends in a future contract). Look at what Bayless is doing… he’s proactively getting help in development. Sergio as well, he’s doing it on his own.

If Thomas wanted to grow, he would. Well, assuming his ceiling isn’t lower than we thought.

I think Thomas might be a little more developed in Portland (because KP installed a stronger support system that will drag a less-inspired player into development), but I think he wouldn’t be as far along as you’d expect. It’s very possible that, in Chicago, LMA would be playing similar to his recent play… he’s all about weight training, which is part of the battle.

There’s a good chance Thomas wouldn’t be in Portland anymore if he’d been drafted. He’d have been traded as part of a package for a top-5 draft pick, as soon as KP realized he wasn’t going to develop unless it was forced upon him.

It said a lot to me that Thomas basically said he’d do the slam-dunk contest, but only for the paycheck. It gave me a feel for how much he really loves the game.

The good news is that there’s still time for Thomas to figure it all out and put it together.

by Timmay! on Jun 6, 2009 11:49 AM PDT up reply actions

He does, he works out with David Thorpe at IMG

It’s why Thorpe is always all over Noah, Thomas and Deng. Only if you look at the Bulls article, when he focuses on one thing what he had mastered before seems to go away.

by Norsktroll on Jun 6, 2009 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions

If he's working out independently with Thorpe (good to know btw)...

…then it should be paying dividends eventually. It’s a little disconcerting that there’s no sign of improvement already. (How long have they been working with Thorpe?)

It also lends credence to the “Thomas would be a similar player in Portland” theory if a development coach isn’t seeing much progress

by Timmay! on Jun 6, 2009 11:56 AM PDT up reply actions

They worked out all of last summer, and might have the summer before that. He and Deng were at IMG together.

by Cablinasian on Jun 6, 2009 11:59 AM PDT up reply actions

I think a bit before the draft, and intensive last offseason

There is improvement, especially in his shooting. In his first year he was ice cold from everywhere except dunks. He just doesn’t bring it all together and is probably also not used correctly by his coaches up to now. And Morti is right; LMA still hasn’t reached his ceiling either. He recently said he will e.g. work on going left more.

by Norsktroll on Jun 6, 2009 12:02 PM PDT up reply actions

I suspect LMA still has plenty of ceiling to go

Just getting consistent from the outside will be huge, then if he gets more comfortable with his left, and adds some more post moves, he’ll hit a new level. And perhaps a bank shot? I may be getting greedy.

by Timmay! on Jun 6, 2009 12:25 PM PDT up reply actions

His mini hook when going from the left side crossing before the basket is a pretty new move

by Norsktroll on Jun 6, 2009 12:28 PM PDT up reply actions

for LMA, I think the ability to isolate is even more important than post moves… if he could take his man off the dribble at the elbow, a la Bosh, he would be an incredible offensive force.

Despite the fact that a few of their opinion-based shows are interesting (PTI and ATH for me), ESPN has completely forgotten the concept of unbiased news and fair coverage across sports (including those they don’t have the rights to broadcast) and teams.

Yep.

For me, the fact that they only focus on certain teams (Yankees, Red Sox, Lakers, Celtics, Dodgers, etc) is particularly bothersome. They’ll claim it’s because that’s what people want to see. But that’s simply a self-fulfilling prophesy: If you show nothing but a few teams, eventually fans will know those teams, and talk more about them than others. Then ESPN can say “See? People want to hear about these teams more than others.”

I really think it’s to the detriment of both the leagues and ESPN long-term to ignore the Milwaukee’s and Seattle’s (not to mention the NHL’s), and focus only on a few teams and players, as if it’s a tabloid sports show following around the most famous people.

I’ll stop ranting… maybe. Much like Vince McMahon, ESPN is only good when they have competition keeping them on their toes.

That's sorta what I was gonna say

I had written a big long thang but didn’t wanna instigate a LMA vs Tyrus battle, since I do find it tiring so… so I didn’t post it and I went out to explore this world of ours. Now I am back and can feel okay jumping in since everyone else has already.

I say I don’t buy the “Tyrus would be great as a Blazer and LMA would flounder as a Bull”, as if we’re just so gosh darn supportive and that’s the only reason he is good. He is good because he WORKS. A lot. HARD. Before and after games, even when playing 40 minutes. All offseason. Adding a post game and lifting weights.

Yeah, he gets help from our coaches, but I’d be shocked of the Bulls don’t have coaches available to Tyrus whenever he wants as well.

I think it’s part of the 3-years-post-draft rationalization that makes it so, NO MATTER WHAT, Tyrus is the right pick. Even if it’s under the guise of “good thing LMA is a Blazer, he’s so fragile he’d never make it as a big tough Bull”.

Tyrus gets more minutes now and has better stats than he used to. He still is one of THE worst shooters in the NBA and loves to take the jumper and can’t follow team defense or resist jumping for a pump fake. I worry that his BBIQ on both ends of the court will always limit his awesome athleticism. He is clearly more athletic and explosive than LMA, but not nearly as skilled and he hasn’t really added any more skill to his game since being drafted. He’s still just an athlete. Jumper ain’t no better, no inside game, not a better ballhandler.

I know it seems like the coaching and front office is kinda a mess there, but the ultimate responsibility is still up to the player— and we’ve gotten plenty of reports that Tyrus works well in the off season, so it isn’t like he is lazy. He just might be Tyrus Thomas, great athlete, but undersized PF who wants to be a SF.

He still has heaps left of potential to mine, so he isn’t a finished product. But neither is LMA, who has consistently gotten better at reading what to do on defense and adding inside moves to his arsenal. They both should be good players, but Tyrus has a much bigger hurdle to clear to be up with LMA.

Mortimer

by Mortimer on Jun 6, 2009 6:26 PM PDT up reply actions

I don't buy the "Tyrus would be great as a Blazer and LMA would flounder as a Bull" stuff either.

I’m sure the that the Blazers have the better system — probably the best in the NBA — for developing young players. And part of that system is identifying the guys who will benefit from that kind of discipline and attention. BBIQ (whatever that is) is a part of it.

I’m one of the biggest LMA fans around here; LaMarcus vs. Tyrus isn’t even an issue for me. I KNOW who has more talent.

But I think TT has talent too, so my question is whether Thomas would be a better player if he’d ended up somewhere else. I still say yes, even though I agree that player development ultimately depends on the player. Chicago is a mess (especially compared to Portland, but probably compared to a bunch of other teams as well) and it’s affected his growth.

by Corvid on Jun 6, 2009 10:25 PM PDT up reply actions

Guilty as charged. I was intrigued by the charts how he developed and how Aldridge developed in those three seasons.

Matt, Ozzie, … like to compare TT and LMA too. Sorry if that derails your discussion about how much TT developed.

I was pleasantly

surprised with LMAs hand speed as he seemed to get a lot of strips and steals off of drivers in the lane this year.

Really impressed with his overall improvement in defense from last year to this year.

There was good Henry Abbot quote last year about how if there was a problem that could be solved by jumping then Tyrus Thomas would solve it.

Imagine how horrible relationships would be if the parties involved dissected every word and action like they do with KP and the Blazers

Some how KP and others saying KP is really high on Bayless means Bayless could still be traded, but Bayless works out 3 days with Oden and suddenly that means Bayless won’t be traded.

Same with Blake. He plays in the playoffs with an injured shoulder and he could be traded; then he gets the injury fixed, and now he’s untradeable.

Well, bing has some improvements to categorize that Google doesn't have. And the unpronounceable Wolfram Alpha is going in the direction

I have argued about Microsoft quite a bit with Timmay. It’s not like they don’t have good ideas or some great people, it often fails in execution/commercialization. They are not focused enough on this. If Apple demoes something in a presentation, you know they have been using it for months and you can buy it now or in a few months. Having worked with both companies I can say they are often not technically innovators, they wait until the market is ripe and then they make a product better and pounce. If Microsoft demoes something, it just means “we are working on this cool new stuff, and unless something new and shiny crosses our way and distracts us again for years you might be able to buy it some time”.

Their new Xbox “controller without controller” at E3 was pretty amazing. Microsoft Surface is a nice concept for a touch screen of the future, but right now it’s still a big ass table that nobody would be able to afford and put in their house. Gates loves touch and voice input devices but never really brought one to market. They slept on search and the Internet, then did some things right (like the Internet Explorer, at least initially) and then a lot of things wrong.

Has anyone noticed an overall format change to the site today?

The main section is wider, pushing the fanposts over further. It’s fine on Widescreen, but on a 4:3 monitor, the fanposts are off the right side of the screen.

It also may be browser-specific. But it’s not due to a browser upgrade, I just doublechecked and there’s no change there.

Or the Other Whatever
From the face of the planet altogether

Not on a heap or a bunch or a smidgen
Of foolish rules
Of ancient date

What's the best song sampled by a rap song?

I’m sure someone will come up with a better one, but I love this groove.

Nicholas Cage has the worst southern accent ever

I can’t believe I’m actually watching Con Air

Kinda like Steve Buscemi’s role in Con Air.

I thought John Travolta’s accent of a anime super hero dog in Bolt was lame. j/k

I think I have to agree with you

But Buscemi had a nice creep factor, not knowing who he was at the time I saw the film.

Some things are meant to remain shrouded in mystery: What was first, the blouse or the tablecloth?

Also, what drives people to own a “tile table”?

Hey

do they still have the light show (actually I think it was fire works) around that lake. There’s a semi-circle of bleachers that goes around it. I single handedly got the wave going there one year.

lol

yeah they still have that. At Epcot… same old show… they run the big illuminated globe out and shoot fire works off. It’s actually the best time to hit all the bigger rides.

Thats what my family did. It was pretty surreal to walk right into space mountain without having to wait an hour in line.

Psst....Space Mountain isn't at Epcot

That being said ….the no lines thing is the bomb….we went to Disneyland one year and a castmember (that’s what they call themselves) gave us these fastpass badges that allowed us to go past the main line and get right on the rides (there was a tab for all of the big rides in both DL and Cali Adventure). Never pass up an opportunity to talk to a castmember in a white vest. They are the ones who hand out stuff like that
