8/11 JD - BBall Mishaps
I have never started a Junk Drawer before. But it is almost 2 AM, and I still can't find one, so I'm dripping with anticipation. I am (was) currently watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and despite my attempts to enjoy his show, I am still unamused for the most part. I've already played NBA 2k9 to death this summer, and now I have decided to channel my angst into BE.
So NBA.com has been releasing a steady stream of top 10s for the 2008-2009 season, which I'm sure many people have seen by now. Props to Blazers for appearing in those vids, because it's been too long since we made highlights like that.
If there's one thing I enjoy watching as much as flashy highlights and jaw-dropping dunks, it's failure. I've decided to post my favorite youtube clips of various basketballers failing to succeed.
Obviously there are endless amounts of basketball videos on youtube, but three-fourths of them are made by bored people with a video camera, and most of the rest are painful to watch (like the trampoline/leg one I will not be posting). Feel free to add more, but please keep it un-gruesome.
I tried to find the Zach Randolph crossover, but failed to find a real version of it (only someone's edit).

Best burger vs best happy hour
I was reading through Portland Monthly magazine and they did a feature of best burgers…and I convinced a friend to do a Best Burger series. We will work through the PM list one burger per week to try em all (we are gonna add Slow Bar to the list however)
But then I realized, I get kinda bored with burgers, and was thinking of doing a weekly Happy Hour series instead.
What are your favorite happy hours? What dishes do you like?
I think I wanna tackle Ten-01 first. They don’t have a large HH menu, but their burger was listed in PM’s article…and their truffle oil fries are devine.

Leon Powe to the Cavs on a two year minimum deal, with the second year a team option? That's not fair (for us)
KP, where were you? They pay his rehab, and get the rewards if he comes back for the playoffs.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
This is exhibit B of the fact that KP doesn't like PFs whose knees are shot
Exhibit A is DeJuan Blair
Looks like I was wrong about the knees thing
Los Angeles, Portland, Dallas, Orlando and Miami also expressed interest in Powe, whose preference was to remain in the Eastern Conference and to sign with the team most capable of giving him his best shot to exact some revenge on the Celtics after they effectively gave up on him by declining to tender him a qualifying offer.
Bunch of whiners in the tech media lately
Buhuhuhuhu Twitter doesn’t scale well. Apple is evil locking out developers on the iPhone. Apple is evil locking out Google voice apps. AT&T sucks because they can’t get me as much mobile bandwidth in almighty San Francisco as I would like to, I would so switch to T-Mobile/Verizon/Sprint but Blackberry and Palm suck too. Microsoft is just stupid. Yahoo is run by a bunch of driveling monkeys. Wahwahwah. They should be happy that the tech industry is still cranking out some good news stories and products that you can use and write and talk about. And using a phone that can only make phone calls and not upload video from China and find the route to the nearest Starbucks wasn’t that unusual three years ago.
Now would be a good time for Timmay to come back and talk about Apple turning into the evil empire in the minds of some tech journalists :)

Hello everyone!
I am in St. Johns (I think) Missouri! There’s not really much here besides an olive garden which appears to be the hotspot in town. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am NOT deserting you all, I am on a road trip to college so I only get internet if the motel has it. By the way, I have seen some of the JD’s where people accused me of being a Celtics fan and I think this is a crime. I HATE THE CELTICS PEOPLE! Never fear, Claire will be a Blazer fan for life.

Kelly Dwyer recently wrote an awesome column about the Kurt Rambis hire as head coach in Minnesota.
The best part, however, was Dwyer insulting Mark Jackson with the following remarks.
“Mark Jackson? You want to be a head coach? Get an assistant’s job.
This is the guy that didn’t even want a gig as Nets color man last year, because he’d have to watch the 27 other teams that weren’t in Boston, Los Angeles and Cleveland. That doesn’t bode well. Phil Jackson coached in Puerto Rico. Mike Brown ran the tape machine, back when they were using tapes. A supposed “retread” like Flip Saunders worked the CBA sidelines forever. Stan Van Gundy dutifully served as an assistant for years.
Being bad at a job that only runs from Christmas until the second week in June doesn’t make you a head coaching prospect. Your TV work clearly shows you as someone who is a step or 12 behind the modern NBA, and while the odd Haywoode Workman anecdote is nice, it doesn’t mean I think you have any clue as to whether or not the Portland Trail Blazers were one of the fastest or slowest teams in the NBA last season.
And, as Woj mentioned, shouldn’t getting passed over by three of your bigger NBA buddies mean something? I mean, two of those guys were David Kahn and Donnie Walsh! Walsh traded for you … twice! It’s like Jeremy Piven losing out on a role in a movie starring John Cusack and directed by Adam McKay. Something must be up."
If it weren’t for Reggie Miller, Jackson would be the worst national color commentator in the NBA today. Oh, and if Jackson someday gets that head coaching gig without learning the trade first as an assistant, I agree with Dwyer that he’ll fail miserably in an epic fashion.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.

Yeah, Jackson is easily one of the three worst color commentators in the NBA today.
1. Reggie Miller
2. Mark Jackson
3. Jon Barry
If I ran things at ESPN, Jackson and Barry would be fired. There’d be no need to replace Jackson, but I’d pull Tim Legler from the studio and send him to the booth alongside Dan Shulman on the C team.
Heck, Jackson and Barry are so piss-poor, god-awful color commentators that I’d much rather listen to D team anaylst Doris Burke. Yes, I said Burke! Where’s Tom Tolbert these days? Seriously, he was no worse than Barry is nowadays.
Oh, and if ESPN still wants to pair Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy with a third guy, then bring back Bill Walton. As crazy as it may seem to some of y’all, Jackson is so lousy at his job that I miss Walton.
Finally, Miller only got his job at TNT due to his sister, Cheryl, who’s a garbage sideline reporter in my book. I’ll take the intelligence of David Aldridge, the zaniness of Craig Sager, and the aptitude of Pam Oliver over Miller every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
It's hard to choose who is worse
Marc Jackson is a boner head, but I swear I at least heard him say something not totally completely stupid once. Jon Barry and Reggie Miller are legally mentally slow, I’m pretty sure. They have never said anything that made sense, ever.
I didn’t think Reggie was hired because of his sister, but because he was known as a wise cracking funny guy as a player… always trash talking and whatnot. I think we can say it didn’t translate to a new medium.
Reggie Miller's suckitude is a combo of Mark Jackson's annoyance and Jon Barry's idiocy.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I have nothing against Miller
He’s a little too entusiastic over stupid things sometimes and loses his words sometimes but other than that I think he does a good job. I still don’t understand what Snapper isn’t working on TV somewhere…

"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
THEY WERE CHARACTERS WE KNEW AS A CHILD
AND THEY WERE DOING THINGS WE DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE CHARACTERS WE KNEW AS A CHILD.
That might be the problem: I know none of those characters and couldn’t care less about them. And the trailer didn’t make me want to learn about them, it looked like another mix of Triple X and Transformers.
I had the same issue with Watchmen. I liked the intro, some of the fight sequences, etc. But since I didn’t know the comic book I only really liked the Rorschach character and somewhat the Dr. Manhattan and Comedian origin story. The other guys to me were a poor man’s batman, and girl in latex that looked like the role was for Demi Moore and she said no, and a lot of people talking long boring dialogue and taking themselves very seriously while looking ridiculously.

he was basically a freshman coming in and playing last year, but his last 3 or 4 games(when he had gotten a better grasp of the offense) he was flat out dominant so that’s what people are going to go off of. He should have an even better understanding of the offense this season making him more like like the last few games.

oregon state's defense
wasn’t bad, they held usc to 21. ’zona’s defense was above average as well holding usc to 17, asu to 10 and a good byu offense to 21.
also his numbers for most games are pretty average considering half the games he was splitting time at qb with roper. The only games he was really terrible in were usc, ucla(and he still managed to rush for 170 yards in that game) and cal(were he once again rushed for 100 yards). I know its not great for the qb to be a better runner then passer but in this offense it can work. masoli wasn’t great all year but he was pretty darn good for essentially a freshman qb playing in a bcs conference.
10-3 with some ugly losses. It’s a very different story if UO doesn’t have a bye week and Jacquizz plays. The game was lost before it started.
those “ugly” loses were @USC(a blowout so bad loss) @ cal by 10(not bad loss) and Boise(5 point loss in ur staduim, kinda bad but u can’t deny boise wasn’t a quality team)
the whole with ’quizz that game would be different is bogus, they had no answer for the ducks offense and the presence of ’quizz would not have changed that.
by phillyduck23 on Aug 11, 2009 2:31 PM PDT up reply actions
No answer for the Duck offense? The entire team was demoralized and exhausted, they were finishing running through a gauntlet of tough games. The OSU defense was smoke and mirrors all year, good planning and scheming but with a lack of talent in the front seven. UO had two weeks to plan their scheme and they picked it apart perfectly.
The Cal loss was horrible, the Bears played terrible and the Ducks managed to be even more inept. Boise killed you guys in Autzen, let off the gas and you climbed back in to make it look better than it actually was.
Masoli was AWFUL in the Cal game. He could barely complete a pass.
Plus, the Purdue, UCLA, Stanford, and Arizona wins weren’t exactly anything to be proud of.
optimism ftw
you can't fault a team for having a bye week
what was this gauntlet of games?
asu
@ucla
cal
@’zona
they were demoralized by their run of the mill schedule?
and masoli still managed to run for 100 yards against cal without the threat of a passing game. that’s why people think he is going to be good. If he can continue to be a passing and running threat like he was the last couple games then the offense could be unstoppable again.
to be honest i’m way more worried about the defense then i am masoli. They game up a lot of points last season and they lost: their best defensive lineman(nick reed), their defensive leader and best playmaker(patrick chung) and arguably their best or second best corner(jaruis byrd). there is a lot more to be replaced on defense then on offense
by phillyduck23 on Aug 11, 2009 2:46 PM PDT up reply actions
the gauntlet was carrying the entire program’s Rose Bowl hopes, as they hadn’t been there for years. The pressure was insane.
He ran for that yardage because Cal and UCLA dared him to… they were okay with him running for 100 if he wasn’t throwing for 200.
optimism ftw
but they knew he couldn’t pass so they should have just loaded the box rather stopping him from running as well.
anyways i don’t think either of us is about to change our stance so we should probably just agree to disagree
by phillyduck23 on Aug 11, 2009 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions
UCLA and Cal loved the fact that Masoli was running, they just dropped back, covered the men, and were fine with his four yard gains.
Agreed. We’ll see how it goes this year, but I think the OSU and UO defenses will both be miserable.

Hollinger has us in the "entrees" group of the western conference, together with the Nuggets and Spurs. Lakers on top as "chef's special"
Portland Trail Blazers
Nobody talks about the Blazers as serious contenders in the West, but we should. Portland had the best scoring margin in basketball after the All-Star break last season, and as I keep repeating, scoring margin predicts future success better than winning percentage.
Yes, they went one-and-done in the playoffs, but this team should be better this time around. The Blazers added Andre Miller, vastly improving their backcourt depth, and returned Martell Webster from injury. The only departure was Channing Frye, who fell to the fringes of the rotation by the end of last season. Most importantly, one of the league’s youngest nuclei gained a valuable year of experience and cut its playoff teeth. Watch out for these guys.
He has the Kings as the worst team. I like that he calls Sergio a “low-budget breakout possibility” as the only positive besides signing Evans.

The staff of the French national team has announced on Monday that Nicolas Batum, suffering from pain in his right shoulder for several days, has been examined with an “arthroscanner” (MRI?) that has shown an instability. A problem dating back several months according to the doctors at the Hospital of Pau, where the player has been examined.
The medical staff of the Bleus has called in an expert to verify the diagnosis, and stated they are in “permanent contact” with Portland, the team of Batum, to avoid any concerns. An infiltration was necessary for the medical examination, and the Blazers wing could not train on Tuesday. The medical staff will decide if he can resume training on Wednesday. Whether or not he will participate in the match against Italy on Friday in Pau, the third Euro(basket) qualification game, was not yet decided.

Finland falls to Italy 77-75. Koponen and Rannikko brick threes in final 30 sec. Belinelli leads all players with 23 points.
Petteri had a pretty bad game going 0/1, 1/5 from three and 4/4 from the line for 7 points. He added 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 6 turnovers. Finland is likely out of the race unless Italy beats France on Friday and Finland miraculously comes back to win the last 2 games.

Didn't think I would read these words: "Monya becomes X-factor for Russia"
Sweet-shooting forward Sergey Monya is starting to give the Russians something to chirp about less than a month before they begin their EuroBasket title defense.
The 26-year-old poured in 18 points, including a two-of-four effort from long range, in a 70-66 win over Slovenia in their second friendly this week in Ljubljana.
Equally impressive was Monya’s work on the boards. He finished with a game-high 12 rebounds.
Viktor Khryapa – one of Russia’s top players two years ago in their gold-medal triumph in Spain – contributed 14 points and Andrey Vorontsevich 12.
“The Russians are now playing with great fight,” Slovenia coach Jure Zdovc said.
“We were poor, despite having opportunities to win at the end of the game.”
CSKA Moscow power forward/center Erazem Lorbek finished with a game-high 24 points for Slovenia but he endured an almighty struggle at the free-throw line, making just eight of 16.

Monya had a really nice looking shot, but you could tell he was overwhelmed on defense and by that culture shock.

That is a good question
that I am probably in no way quipped to answer as I dont know the physical limitations on our thought process, but the path we have been going down since the birth of the scientific method still seems like a good methodology in that what are advanced theories now will be come commonplace in the future and will give future generations a better foundation to start with.
So my pea brain doesent really see a problem with what is currently going on and I dont see any physical limitation that the brain might have in slowing down the process described above.

it sounds like you know more about this than me
but what necessarily would drive us to extinction? It seems that we are fairly unique relative to the rest of the animal world in our ability manipulate the world around us to an impressive degree.
I would say that might give us a leg up that might exclude us from being statistical normalities.

I agree with you on this as this is the main premise in my argument
about what separates us from the rest of the animals in the world. Our ability to adapt through proactive conceptualization rather than environmentally coerced physical evolution.

it took me a minute to grasp what you are saying
could you expand on proactive conceptualization though?
Is that our ability to problem solve in a positive manner, or something like that?

Our ability to adapt to a changing world, environment or situation.
The fact that we can move into alien environments both on our planet and in space, and return with little or no ill-effect(or if there is one, our ability to learn how to heal ourselves) given our inherent physiological fragility, by using our ingenuity and ability to use technology. In other words our minds adapt ourselves.

I felt I should add to this
The fact that we can conceptualize or theorize about situations that we have little or no tangible familiarity with is another thing that sets us apart. Then again our ability to engage in philosophical debate about things that may or may not be true, may or may not be proven, for differing potential goals is a uniquely human endeavor. For example some people may argue because they feel they must defend their philosophical or moral point of view, while others may be arguing for or against a certain point with no emotional attachment to that point, in the hopes that the argument could expand their

I dont think there necessarily has to be a heirachy
