Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

8/15 Junk Drawer-It's summer whatcha doin?



      So normally by this time in summer, I would have already gone on a couple of fishing trips, gone camping a few times and had some serious BBQ under my belt. But since THIS year I have to go to a wedding in Maine, where I am one of the groomsman, most of my recreational funds have been allocated. And because the doctor says my triglycerides are high I have to lay off the bbq,(too bad I already made 3 gallons of sauce). In your face Doc- I feel funny.....
      So just wondering what are everyone's favorite things to do in the summer, things you can only do in the summer, what you have done this summer, what you wish you had done this summer, et. al.....

But it was my sport, so I still follow most events. And I expect the audience in Berlin to be very good. I attended the world championships in Paris and Edmonton, and that was fantastic already.

Wilcox is a better player, for sure

But he’s small for a PF already, and then you got Charlie V as an absolutely no-defense partner at PF to go along with Wilcox’s lack of defense…

Man, that is a decidedly un-Pistons like big man trio/quatro.

Charlie V will offer more offense than an unmotivated Sheed, but not even a fraction of the defense. Wilcox a less versatile offensive game consisting of dunks is the other alternative at PF/C.

Kwame is at least a big-sized role playing big man who has a role on most teams because of his size. I wasn’t really trying to make fun of him, just that Kareem’s teachings didn’t seem to take. He’s got a 25% or less success rate!

I think your thing is

You look too edgy for most of the Asians and Indians, but too white for Blacks and Hispanics. Asian people love clean cut white people.

Although this all from first impressions and general observation of races. Also I don’t really know what you look like lol. I’ve never “talked” to a black girl although I wouldn’t be opposed to it, or a hispanic girl. I’m also afflicted by Indian stereotypes WHICH SUCKS. I have friends of all races though, besides Indian, which seems a little odd.

The best bridging of the races moment for me last year was when I sat at a table full of black football players (best friend on campus is on the team) very awkward at first. And the dudes thought I was gay at the beginning. But eventually I was accepted lol.

Norsk, your posting of Rudy Gay’s stats really got me going this morning. He has a nearly identical TS% to LaMarcus, but an offensive rating that is 15 points lower… essentially the range from excellent to very poor.

This really has me thinking that LaMarcus has been considered overrated for so long that now he’s underrated… I’d love to isolate the variables that result in LMA’s rating being so much higher. Maybe we underrated how few turnovers LMA commits.

optimism ftw

by Cablinasian on Aug 15, 2009 12:38 PM PDT reply actions  

To clarify, offensive rating is completely undependent on team efficiency. It’s a measure of how many points a player would score if he was given the ball 100 times.

I dunno… he already commits very, very few turnovers including offensive fouls. Does he really commit that many?

optimism ftw

by Cablinasian on Aug 15, 2009 12:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

While they have the same eFG%, that includes of course that threes are more valuable than twos. So LaMarcus is much more efficient while shooting a bad 3P% and because of that taking only 0.3 attempts per game. Well, there is a reason Gay won’t get extended already. LaMarcus is very efficient on dunks (88%) and close shots (53%) according to 82games, just his jumper (his by far most used shot) is hovering around 42% eFG%. Gay is much worse on those close shots, at 40%, and they make up 20% of his shots similar to LaMarcus. http://www.82games.com/0809/08POR11.HTM

I tried to bring up the comparison of Nic and Gay because Pelton mentioned Lewis as the most similar in his system, and I don’t really see that comparison based on visual style and the stats on basketball-reference, not when taking Lewis rookie year and not when taking his year 2 when both were 20. I think Nic will end up as a 3 who can play 2, not as a 3 who plays 4 a lot. He is more like Kobe (not in performance, but in built/size/speed/handles) or Gay in that regard. If Nic got those 27 minutes playing time now, much less the 37 minutes Gay got in his years 2 and 3, watch out.

I am meeting my daughter in Vegas for her 21st birthday, she’ll fly in from Portland, and I’ll drive down from Reno—so lookin forward to that….

Hoopsworld suggests the Nets should target Travis and Joel, among others

http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=13583

Overrating Travis, underrating Joel a bit?

The best backup plan for Gay is Portland’s Travis Outlaw. Outlaw, who has similar talent to that of Gay, will be unrestricted and might be the odd man out after Brandon Roy’s extension and the impending extension of Aldridge.

With too much young talent in Portland, Outlaw would be given more opportunities with the basketball in New Jersey. That’s an incentive not many other franchises can offer.

Outlaw is making just around $4 million this season but that number could jump into eight figures after next summer. Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard has stated he wants Outlaw for the long-run, but it’s tough to keep so much young talent in one place.

If the team can’t bring back Boone, their best bet for a backup center might be Steven Hunter of Joel Przybilla. Przybilla, however, would cost more and expect close to starter’s minutes.

Then Angola beat them for the title

Odd is that according to FIBA, all players for Angola play at home. I find that a bit hard to believe. Angola has some oil money, but overall is a pretty poor nation after a messy and long civil war. I don’t think their main clubs are rich. E.g. Olimpio Cipriano played for the Detroit Pistons in 2007-08 summer league. He should have no problems getting a spot on a league team in Spain or Portugal.

There's good looking people everywhere, all over the world

But I do think there are more good lookin’ people in America, because everyone is all mixed up (even if “just” Euro mutts), and I think it makes for better looking people.

Not everyone is good looking here, of course, but there are a ton of good looking people all over.

I’m not gonna say we got a higher percentage of good looking people here, maybe just more people overall making us have more good looking people over all but not per capita. But any hot American celebrity has a million doppelgangers in LA or NYC who looks as good or better.

The square jawed broad shouldered type seemed more prevalent these days with Australian men I’ve met, and not so much with the Americans. We are pretty soft.

Norway and the Czech Republic make me lose all sense of what's good looking.

 But Americans have a broad spectrum, Obesity crisis -- Super hot hotties. The median tipping more to the right.

Norwegians can get kind of crazy for black metal although they produce much better country and folk singers.

 Some that really, really ought to be famous outside of Norway but just cant or wont bother to break through into many foreign markets.

There aren’t as many emoish little miscreints in Norway as in Britain though yet our metal scene isn’t that well known.

I couldn’t be more pleased than to have a young man with the talent and character Tyler has. He sort of reminds me of when I came out. There was always this skepticism that we wouldn’t be able to play in this league against these players. His future is going to be filled with nothing but accolades.
We also re-signed one of our rising young talents, Josh McRoberts.

I wonder if that is due to some non trivial amount of the fluid being in a superfluid state?

if you already have the thread you’re commenting in open, then the comments you make from the other computer will be “invisible” until you refresh the page.

I think I went with Rose, Roy, Batum, Millsap, Marc Gasol – bench Joel who is criminally underrated, Lou Williams, Danilo Gallinari/Mike Miller.

I was watching Braddock:Missing in Action 3 a little while ago

those darn vietcong had Braddock all rigged up in this thingamajig on his tippy-toes with his wrists tied up in the air to a rope that was connected through a series of pully’s to the trigger of a gal-danged genuine commie issue 12 guage. And in front of the barrel was a chair they strapped Braddock’s vietnamese little buddy to, so if Braddock flinched it would’ve blown this kids head clean off. Clearly these evildoers had not seen a Norris film before though cause if they had, they’d a realized it was gonna take a lot more than that to get him to show emotion. After about three minutes the commander went nuts, and had his lacky’s bust out the jumper cables. They hooked it onto a metal collar around Braddock’s neck and what happened when they pulled the switch? Not a dang thing, that’s what. Braddock actually got taller. And then realizing his defeat the commander lost his mind and played a singles game of russkie roullette. Braddock killed him with his mind. It was the greatest thing I have ever seen put on film.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
