Yes, but not all of it.
I was in the country side and only my aunt had reception for the channel that was showing it. Since it dragged on for so long I had to leave and come back a few times so as to not seem like a leech.
I tuned-in at 7-8 in the fifith set. Perfect timing.
I just can’t sit through a three-hour or longer match anymore.
That was extremely high-level tennis from both players. A joy to watch. I like Roger, but I was sad that Andy lost. If he can play at that level from now, he will win another slam.
I just can’t sit through a three-hour or longer match anymore.
This match was especially tough. It was a bunch of aces or service winners. The rallies were nice but rare.
Aces are like salt. A few are always nice, just not too many.
Tennis rackets are too powerful nowadays. The specification should be restricted to the capabilities that wood rackets provided. That would reduce the importance and overuse of power and increase the importance of tactics and favor players who have all the shots and know how to use them. We’d see longer rallies and a lot more lobs, drop shots, and angles.

You're preaching to the choir on this one.
Well written. We’d get rid of the pretenders who rely on raw power with minimal skill (and survive on their serve). And we’d be more entertained to boot.
Tennis should have taken a lesson from the PGA on this one.
140mph serve. Ugh.
Don't knock the 140mph serve 'til you've tried it.
I had a few golden times where I was in The Zone and could serve like a top pro. Power and control like that is astoundingly fun. Too bad my game always fell back to earth sooner or later.
I think a cannonball ace is entertaining, but at some point I start wanting to see a rally.
I wonder how much speed a 140mph serve would lose if it were hit with a wooden racket. I’m guessing 5-6mph. That article on Pancho Gonzales to which I linked below mentioned that the top pros of his time could top 100mph on the forehand. That’s pretty crisp.
I wanted Andy to win as well.
I don’t particularly like him, but it must be very disappointing for him to come so close and lose yet again…

if not for the greatest player of all time, Roddick would have won at least a few more majors, possibly as many as 5
Roddick’s obviously not an all-time great, but its clear his legacy has been hurt by playing at the same time as Federer.
Is Federer the greatest of all time?
I am sincerely asking, I don’t follow tennis closely.
Always seems like people criticize his legacy because the competition isn’t as good as other greats had to face. I saw Timmay say the same thing as well the other day.
Is that a fair criticism?
It may be a fair criticism
but he still has won all of the majors at least once and has won more majors than anyone. At worst he is on the short list of greatest of all time.
I don't like Nadal, but I don't think you can say it was bogus
since Nadal lost in a pretty early round. Just because Federer didn’t play Nadal in the final, it doesn’t change the meaning of winning the tournament.
Will you do me a favor? Ask Nadal to stop picking his butt all the time :)
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
Federer deserves credit for his consistency
He’s in the semis every single slam. Its not his fault the same can’t be said for Nadal.
He's injured.
I’m talking clay court. You know Federer can’t beat Nadal in RG :-)
Federer is incredible, I’m not trying to discredit him. I just think Nadal is the better clay player.
Of course it isn't!
I’m glad he won RG though… I like it when hard work is rewarded. He worked really hard to improve his clay court abilities.
winning on only one surface
is like being an awesome home court team but sucking on the road. sure its impressive to an extent but you have to win on both.

Would you feel the same way about Federer's win in Paris
if Nadal had been healthy and had played but had lost before the final?
I don't quite understand your question.
But if you mean would I give it more value if it had been against a healthy Nadal, then yes.
I mean if Nadal had played the French
and had been 100% healthy, but had lost before he would have met Federer in the final, which Fed won. Would you still call Fed’s win bogus in that scenario?
He still couldn't beat me at Wii tennis
No one I know can beat me, so I feel like Federer as well… a great player living in a time where there is no fair competition.
It’s a lonely life.
Basically all of the tennis analysts in the US...
…talking about the McEnroe brothers and the other NBC/ESPN folks say yes. I think there are those out there who would disagree, but its definitely a majority opinion that Federer is one of the greats. One thing to realize is that if not for possibly the greatest clay court player of all time (Nadal), Federer would have another 4-5 majors.
Tennis announcers always call the current best player "the greatest"
Sampras was the greatest, Seles, Graf, Navratilova, etc.
It’s so hard to say. I noted a while back that if Federer was regularly playing other “greats” (translation: Sampras, Agassi, Lendl, Borg, McEnroe etc, pretending to even out technological improvements), then Federer would be average in that group. Win some, lose some.
Which pretty much rules out him being the greatest, in my mind. I personally think he’s a truly outstanding player who’s quickly become overrated due to the lack of a second great player in this generation.
Nadal is great player, but his timing was off
He’s finally turning into an all-around great player, instead of a clay court specialist.
If Nadal had reached this level of play in 2004 or 2005, and Federer still had this number of Slams, I’d probably be saying “wow” about Federer.
Federer’s greatness was well-timed with a lack of a contemporary. He didn’t plan for this timing of course, but he definitely reaped the benefits.
There’s another thing that holds me back on Federer, but I think it’s fair not to go any further. Seems like a good place to stop.
I can't agree with that.
The list of players that Fed has beaten includes many that have been #1 in the world and/or have won grand slam tournaments, including Agassi, Sampras, Nadal, Safin, Hewitt, and Djokovic. His credentials are solid.
Federer played an Agassi and Sampras that aren't the ones we remember
Nadal I noted earlier. I like Safin and Hewitt, but don’t think they’re going to be the top dog in any era of tennis history. For some reason, I actively dislike Djokovic, so I haven’t watched him much.
Nobody's arguing that Federer's not great here
Just that he’s not the greatest, and that he’s getting overrated at this point.
If Sampras’ prime matched with Federer’s prime, Neither of them would have had a 31 match winning streak.
I think Federer is human garbage.
So, speak for yourself, pal. Some of us are arguing for him to be shot, let alone be called the best (yeah right).

Oh, he's GOTTA be one of the greats
To win that much in any era is amazing.
I was just wondering if most tennis folk think he is THE greatest, not just one of the greatest.
To me, Laver will always be the G.O.A.T.
He won the Grand Slam (Wimbledon, U.S. Open, French Open, and Australian Open, all in the same calendar year) in 1962, then turned pro — which meant he was not allowed to play those tournaments until they allowed pros to play starting in 1968 (the start of the Open era). Laver won the Grand Slam again that year.
Laver finished his career with 11 Grand Slam tournament victories. Had he been allowed to compete from 1963-1967, he could easily have had more than Federer’s current 15 and might have won one or two more Grand Slams.
To put this in perspective, Laver is not only the only player in history to have won two Grand Slams, he is the only male player to have won one since the start of the Open era.
Laver's a good choice.
I can’t come up with an argument against, other than the obvious one: The barrier to entry and lack of money in the field left the tennis world with lesser players able to win tournaments.
The problem there, of course, is that applies to every single sport, especially Golf. So it’s hard to hold it up as valid.
For me, Agassi is such a frustrating footnote. Had he been able to stay dedicated from the beginning, he’d be in this conversation. He had both power and skill, and while regularly distracting himself, still won 8 slams, the Olympics, and the career Grand Slam.
Interesting read!
I think the only thing that would hold me back on him, is the fact that he apparently won tournaments with his serve a lot.
I wonder if any film exists of his play.
Wooden-racket serves.
The serve is a valid stroke. If his best shot were the forehand, would you pick nits over that?
Not really trying to pick nits here
For some reason, if I compare a player who makes his career off his ability to hit an ace, to one who regularly makes a forehand winner, I’ll likely be impressed with the strong forehand. With the forehand winner, at least they have to return an opponent’s shot. Personal preference there.
But like you, I’d rather see wooden rackets across the game. If someone can repeatedly ace with a standard wooden racket, more power to them. Otherwise, they need to be skilled to handle the rallies.
Valid point, but I would guess
that most folks see the serve as a much trickier stroke to execute properly. Even on the pro level, it’s so tough that they give you two chances to get it in!
Well, a good power player hits enough aces to make up for the first-serve-%
Though I’d kind of enjoy the removal of the second serve. That would slow down serves quickly, to make sure they stay in.
My frustration with the serve is what it’s done to the sport. The concept of a rally (especially one that doesn’t just involve power strokes) is a completely lost art in the upper echelon of men’s golf, and women are joining them. It’s creates a completely different skillset now in order to succeed.
It’s hard to believe that even Wimbledon moved away from the serve-and-volley.
Yeah, no one is fast enough
to serve 130 mph and get to the net before a 120 mph return is coming back at your feet.
My favorite serve was Stefan Edberg’s kick serve. I loved his game and patterned my game after it, like a blind guy trying to paint like Renoir.
I remember how Edberg would react
when the judges would call a foot fault on his kick. That made Edberg entertaining right there, even before getting into his overall game.
I never tried the kick serve. I eventually just accepted I could curve my serve but not hit for power while keeping it inbound. I make no denial on how hard a serve is.
I tried to develop a kick serve too,
but couldn’t do it. I played against a serve-and-volleyer once who had a fabulous topspin serve. Very tough to have to hit a winner past a guy when you’re returning his serve from ten feet behind the baseline.
I saw him play when I was a boy
He was getting old at the time (nearly 40?) He had an amazingly powerful serve. – Elgin
Without you out there, we're nowhere here
I've heard arguments for Laver
I believe he missed a few seasons during the prime of his career serving in the Aussie army and still won 11 slam events, including the 2 season slams. Part of his career was before the Open Era though.
I don't think the measuring stick should be number of Grand Slams
because for instance, Borg didn’t play Australian Open.
I think we need to consider the equipment as well
I guess the competition too, but I bet the new racquets make aces way easier to come by than back in his day.
I just never approve of GOAT discussions of any sort.
You can’t compare different epochs, even though it’s undeniable that athletes improve each new generation.
I agree
Babe Ruth would have had far fewer home runs if black guys were pitching to him.
It’s one of my least favorite discussions. I can care less if someone thinks some team from 10 years ago was the greatest all time. I rather have my team be the greatest this season.
fair enough
but the same could be said of guys like barkley and malone and whatnot..

Consistently getting close and being consistently really really good can be enough to be considered one of the best ever.

I asked to play and promised I wasn’t any good then bowled like a 230, I even tried to mess up a few times. He got really mad at me so I didn’t play anymore. I normally bowl a 120 in real life or on the Wii.

I disagree
Ok, just kidding, I agree.
Actually, I dunno. I know he serves fast.
YOU WIN THIS ROUND, FANFARAWAY.
Well played, fanfaraway
Well played. Pretend we weren’t even debating a topic.
Nice… nice.
(nod appreciatively but scornfully)
For sure.
He holds the record for the fastest serve ever.
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
Just looked it up. 155 mph -- wow!
Here’s a fun tennis question for you: How fast is a tennis ball that comes off the server’s racket at 100 mph going when it crosses the net?
A mere 55 mph.
Now you can dazzle your friends with your tennis knowledge.
Back to Roddick’s fastest serve record: who was the previous record-holder?
That's crazy.
And I have no idea who held the record previously. WHO??
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
I believe it was the Bullet Man,
Roscoe Tanner, also known now as Louie the Check Kiter. I remember he served 153 once.
He went to Stanford
Stan Smith and Bob Lutz went to USC. Arthur Ashe went to UCLA. Pac 10 tennis for the win. – Elgin

Andy lost it in the 2nd set tiebreak, which he led 6-2
That lapse in his otherwise very high level of play cost him the match. I’m sure it was devastating for him. He’s made 5 Grand Slam finals, and 4 of them have been losses to Federer.
I didn't see that tiebreaker,
but I’m not so sure he blew the lead, considering that Federer had 51 aces for the match. He only blew the lead if he had any unforced errors or double-faults, otherwise Roger just played better.
at 6-5 in the tiebreak, Roddick served and came in for a relatively routine backhand volley
and shanked it.
i don't think the Mavs would consider it
but Jason Terry would be nice
also Rondo, if it was true the Celtics were trying to move him
have you seen him
put his arms out and make airplane noises? He does it an all NBA level
credit is due
remember when he played for Atlanta and put up stats across the board, but yeah he is really just a pretty awesome scorer.

Trade Rudy Fernandez 1.1 mill & Batum 1.1 mill. to Memphis for Rudy Gay 3.3 million & Conley 3.9 million.
That leaves 2.7 in cap space, sign a veteran like Bobby Jackson or Juwan Howard
Then trade the trade exception for Wilson Chandler
That means we could upgrade the SF, upgrade the point, gives Oden a point guard that brings out his best, we get smarter, and we don’t lose any toughness on defense.

Conspiracy theory commonly accepted by the public as the truth.
Mr Obama, in an attempt to convey his plans for the interent, forced Dave to put the new logo on. It’s a representation of his power over the internet, the ever watching satellite observing our every move. Civil liberties are an old concept, no longer important to members of the NWO like Mr. President. The Bedge was an obvious place to begin this method of branding, as it is clear to outsiders as the most popular iste on the web.

i find cricket incredibly boring
although messing with the ashes in the UK is rather dangerous, some fanatic-level stuff.
Much better the Lions series, what a pity about the second Test
I could talk for hours about my distain for cricket and it'spopularity in Britain.
It is, without a doubt, the worst mainstream sport around.
It is incredibly slow, nothing happens for minutes at a time. It is restricted by both light levels and weather so if there are too many dark clouds or the sun sets even slightly the match has to be called off. The only reason to go is to drink in the stands which doesn’t sit well with me in the first place. It lasts over several days without the competition changing, the lack of change is mind numbing after watching the same batsmen at the wicket for three hours for the second time. It’s baseballs bigger brother and is therefore poor. And to top it off, few countries play it, proving it’s awfulness to the world as it shamefully drags along a few former colonies to prop it up.

Do you think having areas like País Vasco, Cataluña, Galicia and Comunidad Valenciana make Spain a better country or more fragmented? I know I’ve found a bit of hostility towards País Vasco from Spaniards but it’s not like it’s a majority opinion.

I think there are many more things in common rather than different ones, and the different ones don’t necessarily mean separation.

I went camping a few years ago
and took my guitar. I was walking with it to the campsite when a fellow camper saw it and asked if he could play it. I handed it to him and he played three songs, one of which was a Segovia piece. He played almost flawlessly. I was wondering why he hadn’t brought his own guitar to the camp.
It turned out that he was a professional musician who had played guitar for Willie Nelson and others during his career and had studied in Spain under Segovia but had given it up in 1992 to pursue something else. When he played my guitar, it was the first time he had touched a guitar in ten years.

Jackson owns all 10 spots on the Billboard catalog top 10 charts (meant for albums that have long since left the mainstream charts but still sell well). He also took over the digital download charts (no surprise). Billboard is openly admitting that he basically took over all the charts, selling 1.2M albums in the past week and a half. That’s not counting single song downloads.
(As noted in the one-hit wonder thread this week, I enjoy following the music charts)
It might have been me
I went out to eat and heard “Until I Fall Away” in a restaurant. I had that CD.
Good song. I have that CD on my Zune.
I forgot they had a second album with a few songs I liked, until I checked the wiki.
I still have their big album (Fear) around here somewhere
I’m sure it’s ripped onto my Zune too, I liked most of the album. They still have a pretty loyal fanbase, apparently.
They’re also not a one-hit wonder, of course… “Walk on the Ocean” was a pretty big hit after “All I Want”.
Hmmm. Now I may need to track down their greatest hits album. I blame you.
At one point Michael had 18 of the top 20 sellers on Amazon
the day after he died. The only two records that weren’t Jackson related were the new Dylan and the new Wilco.
Speaking of great guitarists, Nels Cline from Wilco is an amazing guy. I love his group The Nels Cline Singers. – Elgin

Hey btw, how bad is tourism really doing over there?
These stories make it sound pretty bad. We’d considered a trip this fall after school is back in session… are things really that quiet this year?
Yeah it is bad
Like the article said, it’s worse on the Big Island. I haven’t noticed the difference in Waikiki. My wife’s hotel has laid off everyone they can but they are also not dropping their rates. A lot of hotels are now trying to get locals to stay in their hotel. Some prices are dropping.
im sure the bigger places like oahu and maui are doing ok, but some of the smaller ones are probably really hurting..
by GreatOden'sRaven on Jul 8, 2009 11:40 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah
I think the high end ones where there is nothing to do but stay at that hotel are hurting the most. My wife’s hotel doesn’t want to lower the rates because they don’t want to deal with those guests conflicting with their normal guests.
Interesting, thanks for the info.
We’re considering some combination of the Big Island, Kauai and Maui. Good to know.
The thing every hotel is doing
Is trying to book more room nights for a lower price. They don’t drop a day, but will drop a lot off if you book a week.
Really? Hrm. Good to know
We’d only planned to share a week over two islands, but that might make us reconsider.
As long as you aint a freak
And you don’t expect me to do stuff with you, you could sleep in our spare room. I’m not joking. My wife and I like guests, we just don’t like doing all the tourist stuff.
And you don’t expect me to do stuff with you…
touristy stuff or …"stuff""…..?
I know I'm wrong, yeeyah.
Wow, thanks Tom
I’m not sure we’d take you up on it, purely due to the fact we’ll usually stay at one of the nicer hotels to relax and get taken care of, then go exploring. But either way, I appreciate the offer. If we reconsider, I’ll give you a shout.
For the record, we’re almost scarily normal. No freaks here.
well if you're not...
Tom, mind if I stay for a few days weeks months move in?
I know I'm wrong, yeeyah.
Glad to hear that, cuz I'm taking vacation starting next week.
I’ll be there with my wife and kids, and we are ALL freaks.

We should have drafted DeJuan Blair, so it's Brandon

Well we didn't hear much about Bayless ahead of time
Nor James (or Freddy) Jones. KP seems to do a good job of hiding his list of players.
but we did hear about Hedo. I think free agent signing are a bit different, as the agent will pretty much leak any interest the player receives most times.
draft the stache
Marvin's an RFA right?
If so, they might be talking to the team about a S&T, which wouldn’t necessarily reach the agent during early stages (I’m guessing there).
I don’t have any reason to believe they’re trying to do this deal either btw. Just thinking out loud.
Marvin for Outlaw would be a steal on our part.
Ten players, two baskets, 13,000 people, one basketball. And we will decide what is done with that one basketball.

For those wondering how highly KP values Andre Miller...

Trivia question
On ESPN, they have a graphic up about Ron Artest. It details the players with the most season of 15+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 2+ steals per game.
Ron Artest was #4, with 10 seasons. #’s 3 and 2 had 15 seasons apiece. #1 had 17 seasons. Who were the top 3?
If you saw the graphic, no playing along.

Like many fans he seems to try to figure out who needs to stay and what needs to be done to advance the team
In a sense yes, they are giant trade proposals. I guess he tries to make it clear that the phase of acquiring young likable players oozing potential is pretty much over (a phase in which KP excelled), and now comes a time of uncertainty and uncertain duration where some old ways of team building aren’t working anymore and potential needs to be realized, or otherwise players who already have realized their potential need to be acquired. Executing and explaining that transition isn’t easy, and both the team communicators, local media and Dave struggle a bit with it.

Kevin Pritchard is the most active GM in the league. That’s why it’s such a shock to be wondering what he’s up to on July 8. The team made a huge pitch to Hedo Turkoglu but was left at the altar for the more cosmopolitan Raptors. The Blazers’ draft was a disappointment, as well. Pritchard tried to move up high in the draft but couldn’t. He ended up taking Spanish forward Victor Claver, who won’t play in the league for at least the next two years.
The Blazers are saying they’ll be patient. They have cap room and could make a run at David Lee. Or they could sit back and try to be a trade partner for a team trying to clear room. But for a team that came out of the gates saying it had the green light to “go for it” and make a major upgrade, the early results are disappointing.

Remember how Mickey had Rocky chasing chickens to prepare for Apollo’s speed? I’d do that with Hibbert. His nimbleness would improve a ton. Especially if Roy could only eat what he catches.

LaMarcus Aldridge cares
If Bargnani got 10 mil/year, Aldridge just saw his case for a max deal get stronger.
you have to admit, it’s a pretty convincing case that LMA is worth about 12-13 average. I mean, if Bargnani gets 10…
draft the stache
I'm not so sure
If KP sees those deals out there, it may not be worth insulting LMA with a smaller deal.
Even KP doesn’t want a drawn out contract negotiation this summer, when he knows LMA will get a big contract anyway.
And it gets to a point
Where that extra 2, 3 million is near-meaningless to us, cap wise, and means a lot to the player and his ego.
I'd give LMA 15-17 mil a year
i mean, come on. Hedo is getting 11 a year for 5 years and he is OLD.
I know I'm wrong, yeeyah.
whatever the max is
just give it to him. who cares about a couple million when you’re talking about the 2nd half of our franchise, ya know?
I know I'm wrong, yeeyah.
LaMarcus is not the 2nd half of our franchise
We have 1 player who is even in the vicinity of being a franchise player right now, not 2.
That said, he might get the max, although I think he will make a bit less. He’s said he understands if Roy gets more than he does.
but at this point he’s at best an average defender, a poor rebounder, and an inefficient scorer. While we can argue that he does a lot for the team, he is not a member of the NBA’s elite.
David West has similar production and makes less than ten million per season.

i just think he is a big part of our franchise, and it doesn’t hurt us to give him a max deal, that’s all.
I know I'm wrong, yeeyah.
he doesnt need or deserve a max deal

i'm just saying if Andrea is getting 10 a year
why insult LMA with an offer of 12 million a year? Give him a little bonus money. Plus that looks great in the future to players thinking about coming here. It says that Paul Allen will take care of you financially if you perform well.
I know I'm wrong, yeeyah.
you should only pay fair market value

Maybe not in 2010
Might be a few dudes there, regardless of team quality.
Players like teams that overpay. You just gotta pick WHICH guys to overpay.
We overpaid the wrong dudes before, and it took years to fix. Ya can’t do that.
I don't think overpaying LMA will be too bad of a thing
As long as we’re sure we want to keep him.
He’s young enough, has a good attitude, and is a skilled big. Overpaying him won’t likely hurt us. He’ll always have value.
Paying a guy no one likes, like Z-Bo, both personality wise and on the court, is a bad idea.
I heard a radio interview with Steve Aschburner this morning.
He commented that Brandon Roy is, “the closest thing Portland has to a star.”

by GreatOden'sRaven on Jul 8, 2009 5:16 PM PDT up reply actions
I meant about him, specifically
I figured LMA would get a bigger deal than him anyways just because one is a near-All Star, the other is a near-bust
Blazers win!
depends on how you define "bust"
Bargnani is a legitimate (albeit mediocre) NBA starter who has had a number of big games. He’s a really tough matchup for a lot of teams. Of course, he makes LMA look like an awesome rebounder and defender.
But yes, LMA will certainly get a bigger deal than Bargs, which is why Andrea getting 10 mil had to have LMA seeing big time $$ in his eyes.
He's had a number of big games because he plays in the EAST!
If LMA could play that many games against East teams he’d be a HOF lock by now
Blazers win!
The East is just as good as the West at this point
The East had 3 of the 4 best teams last year, plus it only had one of the 6 worst teams in the league (Kings, Clips, Wiz, Thunder, Wolves, Grizz). The West was still stronger in the middle, but overall there really wasn’t much difference between the two conferences.
Bargnani’s not great by any means, but to suggest his modest successes are due to playing in the East is frankly absurd.
The East's PF's tho are not even close to the quality of the ones in the West
That’s what I was getting at
Blazers win!
The distribution of teams is different in the conferences
Think of it like this
Tier 1: 60 win (or close) teams
Cavs, Lakers, Celtics, Magic: Advantage East
Tier 2: 48 win + teams:
Den, SA, Blazers, Rockets, Mavs, NO, Utah :Advantage West
Tier 3: 30 win + teams:
Hawks, Heat, Sunds, Pacers, Bulls, Bobcats, Nets, Bucks, Raptors, Knicks: Advantage East
Tier 4: Crappy teams:
Warriors, Grizziles, Clips, “Thunder”, Wizards, Kings: Disadvantage West:
The East had more great teams, the West more good teams, the East more average teams and the West more crappy teams. But I don’t think that this is the same as saying that the quality of the leagues are the same.
He's not a BAD player
He’s just not better than mediocre. If he wasn’t drafted #1 by that team, and that team and its GM didn’t desperately want to defend that pick, I doubt he’d both not get the 5/50, but also not get the amount of playing and development time he has gotten to put up mediocre numbers.
15/5 is bad for a PF/C, but he plays more like a SF, so it isn’t horrible. It’s fine. He just can’t defend ANYONE, and isn’t that dynamic on offense.
Hedo is the upside of Bargnani (not to use another Euro just because he’s a Euro, but it sorta fits). Hedo wasn’t always a decent playmaker, he was purty Bargnani-ish but without the #1 draft status. Bargnani can put the ball on the floor decently enough, but doesn’t create for others. He’s a jumpshooter mostly, and like any jumpshooter who is a decent shooter, he is capable of getting hot and putting up 30+ for a night.
For a 7 footer with skills, he isn’t that great. But, he’s alright. He is a bonafide starter on a so-so team. He isn’t worthy of scorn, unless compared to other #1 picks, but we can be happy he got picked there and not our guys.
The weirdest part of the signing, is that they’re paying both Bargnani, and the upside of Bargnani in Hedo, the same amount of money. It is funny.

Jake doesn't say anything incorrect, really
LMA needs to take less jumpers, rebound better, and many of us overrate him.
I think his potential to improve is maybe more than what Jake thinks, and I love LMA’s post game and see that to continue to improve. I especially like how much power he displayed that he hadn’t before, this recent season.
He still takes WAY too many jumpers (especially considering how completely effective he is inside, no matter who guards him), and is a bad defensive rebounder. He doesn’t challenge drivers enough inside. He needs to have more confidence that he is a strong man playing against people he is better than, and not a skinny kid trying to match up to strong men.
Jake clearly points out the NOW of LMA, and that many of us overrate the now. I think he’ll continue to get quite a bit better though. My formula is smart + athletic + skilled + works hard = will continue to improve and fulfill their potential.

Blazers win!
Nah, he's chill on ice yo
I dunno what that means, but he’s all Steve Blake is but better.
Better offense, better off the ball player, better playmaker, better pick n’ roll, better penetration, better mid-range, etc etc.
And his defense is a billion times better, just because he’s more athletic. Steve tries, and I love Steve, but he just isn’t athletic enough for today’s PG.
Hinrich’s offense isn’t a huge upgrade, but it is an upgrade, and his defense is enough of an upgrade as it is.
THAT’s why he is trendy. He is potentially VERY available for cheap, and he fits what we got going, but better.
I'd be willing to see and find out
I don’t think their chemistry was something insurmountable for a new player.
Blake waited for the open pass from Roy, they didn’t do a lot of two man game. Hinrich can do that in his first practice.
Now is that because of Blake, or is it possibly because of Roy, or maybe because of Nate?
Gotta be fair, it can’t be all on the one person who’s liked the least
Blazers win!
I'm not blaming anyone
Blake plays as well as he can.
I just think Hinrich can do what Blake does, thereby fitting the current system, but do it better.
And offer greater defense.
There is no one to blame, I don’t think.
and he’d enable us to keep cap space for a second move.
My freedarko side says Marvin Williams,but a backup big would be nice as well… the option for a forward is open with getting Hinrich.

of a backup combo forward sixth man, which is what the team did with Antawn Jamison in the 2003-2004 season.
It, moreover, is practially a given that Shawne Williams and Devean George will soon be released; also, Antoine Wright might be traded elsewhere — especially in light of the Quinton Ross signing — perhaps even to the Memphis Grizzlies in the pending three-team sign-and-trade deal centered around Marion.

18. Portland Trail Blazers
Key additions: None
Key subtractions: Sergio Rodriguez
In limbo: Channing Frye (U), Raef LaFrentz (U)
Kevin Pritchard is the most active GM in the league. That’s why it’s such a shock to be wondering what he’s up to on July 8. The team made a huge pitch to Hedo Turkoglu but was left at the altar for the more cosmopolitan Raptors. The Blazers’ draft was a disappointment, as well. Pritchard tried to move up high in the draft but couldn’t. He ended up taking Spanish forward Victor Claver, who won’t play in the league for at least the next two years.
The Blazers are saying they’ll be patient. They have cap room and could make a run at David Lee. Or they could sit back and try to be a trade partner for a team trying to clear room. But for a team that came out of the gates saying it had the green light to “go for it” and make a major upgrade, the early results are disappointing.

"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
I've been listening for 3 minutes
and I’m already wondering if the NBA knows these guys are saying this stuff.
It’s sure entertaining though.
Blake and Outlaw in a sign and trade for Lee?
Lee plays half his minutes at the three and half backing up Aldridge?
Webster moves to the two?
Bayless and Rudy and Roy our new PG rotation?
hmmmm…
"Tough times don't last. Tough people do."
-Chauncey Billups
If we move Pryz in favor of Lee
We’re removing one of the best center defenders in the league for a guy who can rebound and put the ball back in the hoop nice, which is something we already do really well— with the guy who is one of the best defenders being the guy who does that as well.
Picking Lee over Pryz would be a mistake, to me. He isn’t very good.
Lee turned himself into an excellent pick and roll finisher last season as well
Przy is still more valuable to the Blazers though.
What he does, he does do well
So I don’t mean to discount him too much, but when a guy only rebounds and scores, and is a big man, it just doesn’t help that much.
When it replaces Joel, at least.
Przy plays 15 minutes if Oden becomes Oden...if i were him, i opt out...so i can get my last Hedo contract
so if he does, Blazers should move him
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, but back up bigs is ALWAYS valuable
I’d rather have the luxury of Joel playing 13 minutes (which I think he’ll be reduced to), over the no-defense-whatsoever-and-wanting-a-big-role in Lee.
I would rather have a series of one dimensional post defenders backing up Oden
Over an offensive player like Lee.
but if we can get something for Pryz before he becomes a free agent, shouldn't we?
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
i'm not arguing your points, i find them astonishingly valid...but we got to protect the team, as much as Pryz gotta protect his family/future
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
It's a good question
I’ll wait and see how Oden is this year before I decide.
Even if Oden is great, having a GREAT backup like Joel is not a luxury I soon part with.
If we hve another serviceable big, I could see moving Joel to a team that needs a center, to avoid losing him to free agency.
I'd rather have good, solid role players as backups
Over a “star” like Lee. He won’t be happy being a backup, he will get killed during his center minutes as always, and continue to get killed at PF.

Apparently she didn’t have as much fun though, as she never called me back when I left her a message after the 2nd date.
yeah, that's my take on the subject as well
at least call/email me and say no.
Whatevs though, I’ve moved on. Gotta find another date though.
I'll bet the women reading this thread are thinking,
“Guys never call when they don’t want to or aren’t interested. Why should we?”
My take is that if you go on a 2nd date with someone and then they express interest in a 3rd date...
… its rude to not respond in any way. A 2 sentence “thanks but no thanks” email would have sufficed.
Not a big deal, but that’s my take.
If she is I hope she is dead.
She’s human garbage, just like Federer.

The worst movie I've ever seen in my life was ...
Cabin Boy, which starred the annoying Chris Elliot.
AK, you really should be a Welcome to Loud City contributor. I’m sure they would really appreciate your style..lol. You are the antithesis of their blogger.
draft the stache
Oddly, I actually like the movie ...
Vegas Vacation. Anyway, I haven’t read enough of Mr. Pappagorgio’s work to get a good handle on his overall style. I’m guessing he’s more of an optimist, though.
Anyway, in honor of Jannero Pargo signing with the Chicago Bulls — which should cause a tidal wave of an awesome move — and the Seattle SuperSonics, here’s an old comment of mine from May of 2008 wherein I suggest “Captain” Kirk Hinrich making his way out to the Emerald City.
“If the Chicago Bulls select Derrick Rose with the 1st pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, then the Sam Presti should offer Chris Wilcox and Luke Ridnour to John Paxson for Kirk Hinrich — whose base-year compensation status doesn’t expire until 7/1/2008 — and some scrub who’d be salary filler (e.g., Cedric Simmons).
With a taller floor general like Hinrich on the Seattle SuperSonics, Presti could be more comfortable with drafting an undersized shooting guard in Jerryd Bayless. Although Bayless could eventually progress into a legitimate playmaker — which was the case with Chauncey Billups’ career — that’s not an automatic thing.
Meanwhile, though, Bayless would be best utilized playing off the ball in the backcourt alongside a proficient distributor — who’s a stout one-on-one perimeter defender, too — ergo, Hinrich is the perfect target. Of course, that’s just one of many hypothetical situations that could play out within the next several weeks."
http://www.supersonicsoul.com/2008/05/4.html
As you can clearly see, I wasn’t high on Jerryd Bayless even then. I made more comments about Bayless later in that thread, too.
“Jerryd Bayless, whose closest comparison right now is Monta Ellis, has several question marks — such as his porous defense and inability to facilitate an offense — thus, I’m not at all sold on him. Bayless would need to be paired with a backcourt partner like Kirk Hinrich, so as to mask his flaws; otherwise, he’d be exposed at the NBA level.
Anyhow, O.J. Mayo is definitely the most talented combo guard available in the 2008 NBA Draft — as Bayless sucks on defense, Russell Westbrook is raw offensively, and Eric Gordon has a limited skill set — nonetheless, he’s got a ton of red flags concerning character issues. Yet, due to today’s events, I’d be satisfied with a backcourt duo of Mayo and Earl Watson.
I, however, expect that the Minnesota Timberwolves will select Mayo — despite its need for a defensive-minded interior presence like Brook Lopez to team with Al Jefferson on the frontline — even though there’s already an undersized shooting guard (i.e., Rashad McCants) and a combo guard (i.e., Randy Foye) on the roster.
In all likelihood, Mayo’s immense potential — and, of course, tag as “best player available” (a.k.a., BPA) at the 3rd pick — will win over Glen Taylor, Kevin McHale, et al. That, therefore, will place Sam Presti in a very, very precarious position. […] it’ll be interesting to see Presti choose a direction."
Ah, the memories.

If you want to trade our spare parts for Devin Harris, I have three quarters I would like to trade for your dollar
Just checked his splits on Basketball Reference
Before the allstar break, he was as milquetoasty as ever, and then after it he was pretty red hot. Shot 45% from 3 point land. Rebounding and everything else stayed the same— bad.
19/5 since the allstar break. It’s just 23 games though, so it could just be a hot streak.
That’s the question, I guess.
I think its legit improvement coupled with an unsustainable hot streak
Bargnani’s 3 point shooting will continue to be useful and he’ll continue to cause matchup problems for opposing defenses. However, he’ll also continue to be awful on the glass and on D.
Yeah, he's a useful player
He isn’t Bustnani.
Most of his season was the same ol’ same ol’, is the problem.
He should be a 40% shooter from deep over the long run.
Over a stretch of 12 games on March
He shot over 50% from 3 point land, and averaged 20/6. That boosted his stats a lot.
Did they just overpay because of a 12 game stretch? It wouldn’t be the first time.
The last 6 games of April
Were more vintagey-Bargs than March was.
He was always streaky, so is it “it came together and clicked for good”, or a hot streak.
Man, those type of decisions are tough.
The jumps in percentages from month to month though
Are worrisome for the Raptors.
He’s younger than I thought though… I thought he was 25 already. He’ll only be 24 foor the season. He’s really young, could keep improving his offensive game.
Why do they hate Bosh so much?
Whenever I’ve ever gone to Raptors board, they hate Bosh.
It is weird.
I don’t think he’s a franchise player who wins games on his own, but he’s the best they got…
they are Canadian

Have you guys seen this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_artest
Artest has been a subject of frequent controversy. In his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls, he was criticized for applying for a job at Circuit City in order to get an employee discount.2425 He once attended a practice with the Indiana Pacers in a bath robe.26 He was suspended for two games in the early 2004–05 season by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle after he allegedly asked for a month off because he was tired from promoting an R&B album for the group Allure on his production label.24 Artest had also been suspended for three games in 2003 for destroying a television camera at Madison Square Garden, and for four games for a confrontation with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley in 2003.24 He has also been suspended several times for flagrant fouls.24
In the Washington, D.C. area, “Gilbertology” is the name given to Arenas’s unorthodox behavior on and off the court, first coined by former Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan. After being criticized for shooting too much as a point guard, Arenas would play games nearly without shooting at all, and then score at will the next game.
While with the Warriors, he once took a shower at halftime in full uniform.24 Before every game he would take a teammate’s jersey and hide it in the locker room to make him look for it. Warriors teammate Adonal Foyle called him a “lunatic,” and Troy Murphy said he used to lick or put baby powder on donuts he was forced to deliver to the team as a prank.25
Arenas has been said to play online poker during the halftime of games26, instead of resting or preparing for the second half. He disputes the accuracy of these stories, saying he was misquoted. Arenas says he does not play for money nor does he play online; instead, he plays on a DVD game of poker. On road trips, he will often eschew team outings on the town in favor of sitting in his room, ordering products from infomercials, such as a colon cleanser.27 In the same interview he said he preferred sleeping on the couch rather than on his bed, and that he once ate 12 cheeseburgers while on a road trip with the Wizards in Canada.
During the 2003–04 season, Arenas tried to vote himself into the All-Star game, trading a pair of shoes and a jersey for a box of ballots.3
At the Wizards’ first home game of the 2006–07 season (November 4, 2006), during the introductions, Arenas came out wearing a blue robe with a hood, looking like a boxer. He was supposed to resemble a “wizard.”31
During the 2006 NBA season, he began to shout the word “hibachi” as he took field goal attempts in games, explaining, “You know, a hibachi grill gets real hot. That’s what my shot’s like, so I’ve been calling it that: ‘Welcome to the hibachi’.” He has also stated that while he is scoring on opponents, he is “cooking chicken and shrimp” in reference to his “Hibachi grill,” and that if his opponent wanted to double-team him, he would “cook fillet mignon” as well.33
On December 23, 2006, Arenas told The Washington Post he had begun replacing “hibachi” with the phrase “quality shots,” a direct reference to Kobe Bryant who had felt Arenas’ shot selection was questionable and that he seemingly lacked a conscience. “Out of that whole game I probably took two bad shots,” Arenas would respond. “And for me not to have a conscience? You’re right. When you’re an assassin, you don’t have a conscience.” Nonetheless, Kobe stated that Gilbert Arenas is one of the most difficult players to guard in the NBA.34
According to Gilbert Arenas’s blog, he predicted that he would hit the game winner against the Utah Jazz on January 15, 2007.36

by GreatOden'sRaven on Jul 8, 2009 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions
I read the medal.
It was a sarcastic thank you. You should know that about me by now.
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
i think you said thank you
and THEN read it.. and was mad at yourself for getting PLAYED

You can always setup your new email address to forward all it's mail to your main email account.
That way you don’t have to reveal your real email, bedgers can still send you messages, and you don’t have to log on to multiple email accounts.
if you do, his real email is
igotsooomanyladyfriendsbutneverbeenkissed@mismatch.com
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't count.
But by the way…I found proof that TLC was my favorite group in 3rd grade and No Scrubs was my favorite song. That has nothing to do with anything but I needed to prove you wrong.
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
wrong about what? we agreed you actually knew who TLC was.. thats a good thing

Damn.
I coulda swore you said I was too young? That must have been Aaliyah…
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
Well that sucks.
But I have proof anyway, so that counts for something.
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."

Timbo already linked Artest's new jersey above. But what he didn't mention is that Artest chose the unusual #37
Reportedly it’s a tribute to Michael Jackson: The number of weeks Thriller was the No 1 album

I have listened to that song like 5 times
just because it is so horrible.
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
I call dibs on next JD.
i’m almost done with it, anyone want JD part 2 this evening?
...refusing Coolio's sloppy seconds since 2001...

It’s short for Zach. This doesn’t make sense since I can’t say the real B-word.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
YES SHUTUP NOW PLEASE

I loooooove the comment the author made.
Yes, it is all over the internet. That means we don’t need a fanpost about it, especially since it is already a fanshot!
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
LOL
Welcome to Blazers Edge. It’s always been like this ever since I started coming here since May 2007.

They should just combine the features of the two (videos now also possible in FanPosts anyway) and throw away the FanShots interface

I like them both
I wish people just knew how to use them Norskie.

I renamed the fanshots
Norskshots. He should be the only one allowed to make them.
"Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense."
Cmon
I’m sure you could make one once in awhile. :P

They know how to use them
They just don’t scroll down to the fanshots, and thus everything gets repeated. And then Ben puts the big news on the frontpage.

Yeah I wish we could move the fanshots around, they're a bit hidden.
Perhaps it’s time to bump the fanpost number back down to 10 in my settings. hrm.
LOL
I have everything set to 50. I don’t care about all the stupid fanposts here. I don’t read them anyway. Now, StR, I can live without it now too. It has to grab me at the title, or I have to know the person. Otherwise I won’t bother to read it.
