Victor Claver is a stud muffin, that casey vid of him talking is just great. the ladies will love him - i love him.
I am listening to Joe Satriani right now. excellent guitar player. Him and Buckethead are the best. Top 3 best guitar players? let's hear it.
Who all is going to summer league?

So, I was on my way to work at a new job this morning
and I stopped just outside work to get a cup of coffee to wake myself up. I walked into the coffee shop and ordered. I took a nice big gulp so as to get as much caffeine in my system as possible and, “BLECH,” I moan to the barista, “this coffee tastes like dirt!” “Well,” she responds, “it was ground this morning.”

I can't believe Bargnani and Hedo will make a combined $100+ million from now on
IF (big if) they can keep Bosh, they are splitting about $33-35 million between those 3. Neither of which is absolutely certain to win you anything in the playoffs. Good job. Now try to fill that roster with $20 million left.

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.

by Timmay! on Jul 8, 2009 11:11 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by MiledAnimal on Jul 8, 2009 11:29 AM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
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.
by Timmay! on Jul 8, 2009 12:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

if not for the greatest player of all time, Roddick would have won at least a few more majors, possibly as many as 5

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?
by Mortimer on Jul 8, 2009 11:43 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

Basically all of the tennis analysts in the US...

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.

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.
by MiledAnimal on Jul 8, 2009 12:14 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

Wooden-racket serves.
The serve is a valid stroke. If his best shot were the forehand, would you pick nits over that?
by MiledAnimal on Jul 8, 2009 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by Timmay! on Jul 8, 2009 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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!
by MiledAnimal on Jul 8, 2009 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by MiledAnimal on Jul 8, 2009 2:31 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by Timmay! on Jul 8, 2009 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

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.
This is the reason for the new logo.

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.

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.

How is that going to work, two of the most ball dominant guards in the league sharing the same court?
And playing without any dependable pivot. That is going to be a disaster defensively.

He has a point that Serena could be even better than she is
She is a bit like Shaq, just coasting on her natural athleticism. That this also has an effect on her looks is a bit sexist but probably honest.
My favorite time in women’s tennis was when Steffi Graf (who did win the Grand Slam + the Olympics in one year, now the wife of Agassi) and opposing players like Sabatini really used to work to hone and maximize all their skills.

Billboard magazine writes about the history behind Thriller’s success worldwide. If you’re younger and aren’t really understanding how big Thriller was, this would be a fun story to read.
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.

The problem is that Marvin is restricted and thus difficult to sign.

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.

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.

Travis for Marvin would be kind of sweet. Then do the Hinrich-Boozer-Blake deal.

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.

We can outspend Atlanta. If they’re going to lose Williams to us anyway, they might as well get a year of 3.6 million Travis.

For those wondering how highly KP values Andre Miller...
A source close to the negotiations between the Sixers and their former starting point guard said, "The phone is not ringing." They went on to insinuate that Portland, which is believed to be Miller’s last suitor, actually sees him as too old, a non three-point shooter and too slow on defense.

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.

No on Malone, Hakeem, and Kidd (all good guesses!)
The top 2 both played their entire careers in the modern era (ie. since Magic was drafted). #5’s best years were before Magic was drafted.

But a lot Dave’s stuff is just over thought trade proposalish type posts and less “big picture” or" lets look at this from another angle" type of posts. They are hard for me to even say anything starnky. I’m not placing blame, it’s the off season, just making an observation.

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.
