Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Junk Drawer 8/29/2009

As NBA fans, we tend to categorize guys as overrated and underrated regarding the credit they receive as basketball players. With that noted, I'm curious as to who y'all consider to be overrated and underrated posters at Blazersedge.

Personally, I think that I'm rated just fine by most people. Most of y'all have found me to be an obnoxiously brash, yet fairly intelligent poster who makes a fair amount of sound points -- while occasionally being wrong at times, though -- which means that I'm an overall above average, albeit not outstanding poster.

At any rate, here are my nominations for overrated and underrated posters.

Overrated: BlazerFan1 & tominhawaii.

Underrated: BlazerFanSince1970 & two4larue.

On a side note, my favorite posters are Magnum, Mortimer, Norsktroll, & jksnake99.

I have countless other favorites, too, although those four rank at the very top of my list.

the problem with this topic

is that nobody is truly “rated”.

one would have to go through and compile a list of BEdge “superstars”, vet role players, rookies, horrible contracts, etc. etc. to find out where people are “rated” by the community.

PoliSam and Storyteller are off the charts in terms of posting effeciency. You don’t always notice them because they have low “usage” but everytime they are involved in the offense, good things happen.

Overrated: Fatty and jscot

Fatty explanation: When I first joined BE, Fatty had just banned himself for a year. During the break, he was a legend. Fatty was the greatest! He is a hero! A martyr! A man of his word.
When he finally came back, he slinked into a random junk drawer. Wah wah.

Jscot explanation: He’s been saying he’s FROTW for years now. When is going to be the actual ROW? Seriously.

Underrated: LaMarvelous and BlueBooYay

Explanation: Prolific game day heros that sometimes get forgotten about during the doldrums of the offseason.

On a side note, my favorite posters are: junk drawer regulars.

Seriously, people who don’t junk are like people who go to a theme park and skip out on the fastest roller coaster. Lame.

I definitely gotta agree about fatty

I, too, came after fatty’s self ban and I would consistently hear about his greatness. Well, a few people disagreed, but the majority seemed to be pro-fatty. I bought into the hype machine; let’s face it that’s what many Blazer fans do. Let’s just say I was rather underwhelmed when I saw him in action.

I also agree about the junk drawer regulars.

I guess I didn't remember people saying he was great

His rep definitely went up after he left, because he stuck to his word and he’s easier to love when not confronted with it all, but that’s funny he got so built up.

He’s just fatty. But, he became a celebrity because of his unique style and he WOULD be right about stuff. But… he’s fatty.

I think trk, poster and howlingfantods are underrated BEdgers

trk has a great handle on the various advanced stats, as does poster. howlingfantods does as well, plus he provides a needed distinct prospective from the majority of BEdgers, as his posts often make me look like a huge homer.

Yeah, howlingfantods makes us look like we regularly fellate LaMarcus Aldridge.

Want to read a dumb story?

I got nowhere else I can complain about this because the internet tubes would rat me out.

We have a friend that my wife knew from Portland that is going to college at UH who dogsits for us. She is an airhead. I think that’s the nicest way to classify her. She housesat while we were in Portland and is staying with us until tomorrow, because she sublet her normal room until then, while she spent her summer on Maui.

She took my wife’s car today to start moving into her place and called me around 8:00 PM and told me I was going to be really mad at her. She parked in some sort of school zone and got the car towed.

She didn’t know what to do and was scared to talk to the police so I called to find the car. The cop lady asked what time the car was parked there and housesitter said, “Just from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.” After I got off the phone I asked her if she had been looking for the car since 3:00 PM and she said no because she was studying and went to dinner at 7:00 PM.

The towing fee was $160.00 and she got a $50.00 ticket. When we got home from getting the car, she did the dishes and went to bed. She’s avoiding me like I used to avoid my parents after I got in trouble. I’m trying to think of a way to screw with her, and don’t care about the money because I’ll make her pay me back. I think she’s more worried about me being mad than I am.

by tominhawaii on Aug 29, 2009 1:46 AM PDT reply actions  

Never got my car(s) towed so far. But I know the police lot is really far outside and expensive in most cities I stay in, so it wouldn’t be that much fun to get it back.

Would it have been cheaper if she called earlier, or more convenient to get it back? Or did she just delay her own moving plans by not having a car?

There's Gotta Be More To Life

by Norsktroll on Aug 29, 2009 2:48 AM PDT up reply actions  

She had no idea when the car was towed

She just guessed because that was the towing time of the sign she parked next to. I don’t think it would have been cheaper. They have a scam here where they tow your car and then take hours to get it to the impound yard but you can pay $50 plus the $160 to have them bring your car back.

I got a dumb ticket at Powell's the other night.

I parked across the street on a private lot…tried to pay but the dang machine wouldn’t take cash or credit card…so i just risked it and ran in for 10 minutes and came back out to a 33 dollar ticket. I really really don’t want to pay it.

The electric company here

Sent me a bill for almost $400 saying my meter was broken. I called and asked what was up and they said that they replaced the meter and came out one day, saw what our usage was and then averaged it out for the last 6 months. The problem was they said my average was like 60 KWH for those 6 months but before that and after that, I never even reached an average 50 KWH in a month.

I sent letters explaining that they needed to recalculate and called and all they would say was that they couldn’t help me because my account had a “Overcharge Investigation.” No one called or wrote, someone just decided they were correct and started billing me late fees. When I finally got someone on the phone, she was an idiot and said that they gave me a high average because oil prices were high back then. After about 20 minutes of trying to explain to her that her logic was wrong I told her to “Never mind, I’ll pay the {cuss word} bill, you’re all a bunch of {cuss word} idiots.”

I do online bill payment so in the memo section for the next year I wrote, “Your company {cuss word} sucks.”

The couch was actually the easiest

And one of the cushion covers was by far the worst stained out of everything.

It’s a cheap-ish couch, 3 years old, but it must have some sort of stain blocking thingy. Most of the blood wiped right up with some Oxyclean, and I ran the covers through the washer and they’ve come out perfect.

The CUSHION underneath the badly soaked cover, on the other hand, is still dripping blood. I have it drying outside still.

6 cop cars were blocking the street, they had spotlights and were taking photos. No ambulance or anything like that, just a big power chair, the kind that you see quadriplegics or someone with a severe disability using, in the middle of the crosswalk.

it would have been better if he added one more act to show more of the Basterds

but that would have made the movie about 3 hours, which is probably too long.

the problem was that he also had to explain the whole subplot where she owns the theater and they decide to show the premiere there, otherwise the rest of the movie makes no sense.

It was a while ago when I saw it

But the British set-up scenes for that mission could easily be cut, but they were cute.

You don’t need many scenes with her and the theater to set up the premiere. But, he’s powerful enough as a director to not need to cut whatever he doesn’t wanna cut, even if it may help the movie overall.

hmm that's true about the British scenes

the whole conference with Mike Meyers and Winston Churchill could have been edited out, and it could have just explained the British agent’s story in about 30 seconds…

Ya don't even need to explain it really

Just have the Nazi suspect this guy for some reason, and let the scene play out like it already does, and you learn he’s British once he’s caught.

The scene exists just to do stuffy British dialogue for fun. It doesn’t serve any other purpose.

I like the scene, but if one DID want to cut the running time or make time for more Basterds, that’s an easy cut to make.

I’d describe it like this:

  • Lots of wineries and orchards (easy irrigation available)
  • Blazing hot summers
  • Warm springs and falls
  • Three rivers that meet up (lots of good opportunities to go boating, especially since it’s so hot)
  • Lots of smart people (something like highest number of engineering degrees per capita in the nation or close to it due to all the nuclear geeks at Hanford).
  • Lots of new stuff (has been fastest growing area in Washington for past three years). New restaurants, stores, and homes going up quickly.
  • High latino population. I don’t know why, but they all congregate up there (probably due to construction work). Most of them live in East Pasco—there is a “little mexico” section of town most of them live in. West Pasco is where the average White American family lives.

    I don’t have a very good arm so I’m weary about outfield. Some guy’s old dad called first. I can catch flying bugs with me bare hands so I’m not too worried about catching rockets.

    Ya just gotta be ready

    And you will get hit in the nuts at some point, guaranteed. Wear a cup, Sabonis!!!!

    2nd base is the best place for the weakest person, because almost everyone is right handed and will be pulling the ball. Not very many grounders hit to 2nd base, and it’s an easy throw.

    3rd base needs a good arm and quick reflexes and you can’t be scared of the ball. That’s all!

    On the grounders, just keep your glove down and use your body to block it. It won’t hurt. Get in front and watch it into the glove, then get it in your hand and throw hard.

    by Mortimer on Aug 29, 2009 4:00 AM PDT up reply actions  

    Inexperienced people

    Try to field the ball to the side of their body, not wanting to be in front of it. It is awkward and harder and if you slightly miss it goes right past you.

    by Mortimer on Aug 29, 2009 4:01 AM PDT up reply actions  

    The baselines are short so if ya don't field and throw it cleanly

    They’ll likely make it to 1st base.

    BUT, if it gets past you, they could easily make 2nd base or if it’s right down the line maybe a triple. So, keep it in the infield.

    2nd base for slow pitch

    "Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."

    by cloudydays on Aug 29, 2009 9:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

    That's usually where the weakest is stuck

    So MY slow pitch softball team in college, Champion team the 2 years we did it, would aim at the right fielder. And since everyone tries to crank it in slow pitch, you’re always trying to hit it hard past the right fielder, who is usually one of the weaker players (often the mandatory girl).

    If you’re playing people who don’t/can’t aim it at RF, then it’s a safe place to hide someone. Otherwise, 2nd base is best since all you get are accidental grounders from someone not hitting it well.

    by Mortimer on Aug 29, 2009 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

    generally, in most rec softball leagues, there aren't many teams who are capable of goint oppo with power consistently

    There will be those few teams (like yours) that can aim the ball with power, but if your team has noobs on it, you are probably going to lose to the good teams anyway. With most opponents, I’d rather they be trying to aim the ball at the RF (in my experience all but the very good softball players tend to pop up if they are focusing on trying to aim the ball instead of just hitting it hard) as opposed to pulling the ball with power.

    If you are a good team in a really good league with one weak spot, I can see putting the weak link at 2B, but if you aren’t facing a team full of former high level HS/college ball players, putting the noob in RF is the way to go.

    Actually, catcher is probably even better.

    by jksnake99 on Aug 29, 2009 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

    You'll still get pop ups and line drives to RF

    So ya want someone who can get those, I say. 2nd base gets weak grounders off the end of the bat, and you always have the short stop cover 2nd base for force outs.

    Our first year we didn’t think we’d have a good team, so we did the ‘fun’ league, but we crushed everyone so the next year we did the competitive league. It was more fun since you really had to earn it, and people could really hit the ball. We certainly didn’t have the most former HS players (I think we only had 3, including me), but everyone could hit it in play at least and get on base AND our secret super duper weapon was having the best woman players… I think the rule is ya needed 3 playing at all times.

    Catcher is a good spot to hide someone too, except in a close game. You’d hate for a play at homeplate to fail because someone can’t catch a throw.

    Also, our league didn’t count hits over the fence as homeruns, which I liked. It encourages line drives, better hits.

    When all is said and done I’ll have one or two new TVs, maybe a few new chairs, etc. LOL.

    My mistake was to say I barely use the stereo, because it was a nice flat B&O. It really tied the room together. So I should have demanded an adequate instant replacement or a lower rent. But I was worried he would start again with all the repairs he wants to be done, so I liked it better when he stayed pissed about his ex for now.

    you just reminded me of some bad surprises--

    One younger guy I knew via the interwebs, got his girlfriend pregnant. Over time, he talked about cleaning up his life a bit, going back to school, getting a good job, etc, etc—all in anticipation of being a father. She grew bigger, and he was equally filling with joy and excitement. And then, in right at the moment of anticipation, there was an unexpected silence. A few days later I tracked him down after a lot of emailing and whatnot. It was a really sudden silence from a consistent characeter. Long story short: The baby was black. He and his girlfriend were white. True story. I’ve never heard from him since… It was one of the worse stories I think i’ve had broken to me via the interwebs….

    In addition to Arabs, the Middle East has always had many people of African descent, whom you would consider black.

    Although Jesus lived in the Middle East, his tribe had been displaced several times. There is no way to know the ethnicity of the original kings of Isreal,

    After some consideration

    I don’t think I understand the usage of underrate/overrated:

    It seems like it’s a passive way to attack something by defaming those who celebrate him/her. Example: I’ll say BRP is overrated, just cause I want to attack him. But really, I’m just inditing all of you for either liking him, or not celebrating my point of view. It’s much easier just to say either BRP plays dirty, or that you are all a bunch of fools. Calling someone under or overrated just seems like a way to talk hip per contemporary conventions. What it means, and what is trying to be said by the rater, are more than not two different things.

    by EvilKaramazov on Aug 29, 2009 11:26 AM PDT reply actions  

    great point

    BRP is probably the most overrated person under discussion. Rated very highly and certainly a great contributor, but not exactly playing the same type of game as the stat/contract/high levels of research guys.

    Breaking news [don't blame me for this, jonestr made me do it!]
    God Gives People AIDS

    In a revealing interview, God is now taking responsibility for the spread of AIDS. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has long been considered a punishment from God to smite those who need smiting, but God had remained quiet until this exclusive JD interview. .

    So, God, we understand you have something to say about AIDS.
    God: Yes, that’s right. People should understand that I give them AIDS for being evil. I’d like to set a few fact straights. First, I don’t love everyone. That’s a complete misread of my book. I actually hate lots of people: especially the poor, black, and gay. And women. Definitely should have left the whine off of that one.

    Well, this is shocking. I mean, we all just assumed that God is love because that is what everyone says.
    God: Yea, I hear that a lot. Completely not true. Sure, I love somethings, but I’m really about a lot more than that. Like causing tsunamis and AIDS so that they disproportionately kill poor people and gays. And blacks. It really pisses me off when people say that I’m black or that Jesus was black. I mean, the last supper would have probably been a BBQ if that was the case.

    Wow, God. so I guess there’s no equality in heaven?
    God: Oh definitely not. Heaven is basically like Augusta National when it was great before Tiger Woods.

    Fascinating. Anything more to say about AIDS?
    God: Well, there is really no point to scientists coming up with a cure since the only point of AIDS is to kill the infidels and 25% of their children. I’ll just keep mutating what you all think of as the HIV retro-virus until it has accomplishment its goal.

    And, what is the goal that you are shooting for with this plague of destruction?
    God: Yes, we are projecting that there will be no gays and 75% fewer poor people in Africa by 2022. We’re hoping to annex large regions of the center of Africa for a religious theme park ala Jim & Tammy Faye. Then I may start working on killing off rock ‘n’ roll and role playing games. So much smiting, so little time.

    They ripped on Outlaw for not working out last year and this year they are ripping on him for not working out like they want him to or for not being at the PF. Last I checked only Blake and Webster were there.

    Like I said above, if someone thinks Outlaw is a bad fit on the team and want to replace him that is fine. The outright bashing is overrated.

    I remember Juwan Howard talking about wanting to mentor younger players a few years back when he came to the Bobcats so maybe he would be a nice fit.

    I am surprised contenders dont go after a steady guy like Udoka who still has something left. He would probably never leave then bench here, but might see spot minutes some where like cleveland

    I think both are good for the end of the bench

    To be honest, I don’t care about anyone past the first 9 or 10 players because I would hate to see anyone but those guys on the floor in anything but a blowout.

    That kind of goes along the same lines as some folks ripping on Outlaw in his workout video. They keep saying “What will happen if LA goes down?” How many teams are still championship contenders after their starting power forward goes down?

    I don't get what you mean

    I think trading Travis Outlaw for a more conventional reserve PF would be very beneficial to the Blazers.

    by jksnake99 on Aug 29, 2009 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

    I can see that

    I stopped believing in trades. It’s like when I found out there was no Santa. Only with trades, it is a yearly letdown based on a fantasy.

    I’m in the camp that won’t complain if Outlaw is traded because he might not fit. I also think there is a chance that he could become an unstoppable scoring threat off the bench. He was already more than half way there.

    As far as Batum, I think it is up to each guy to earn his minutes. I don’t have a problem with anyone sitting on the bench if someone is playing better than them.

    by tominhawaii on Aug 29, 2009 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

    He started Batum over Outlaw last year

    To me that means Batum just has to beat out Webster who hasn’t played for a year. At the end of the season, Nate told Batum that when he came back he was the starter. I’ll find the quote if you don’t remember it.

    If there are no trades, I think Batum could start all season and get his minutes and Martell or Outlaw get a DNP-CD. The only way I think Batum gets benched is from injury and there is already an issue with his shoulder. The playoffs are a different beast, I could see him not starting because of the match up like with Houston last year.

    I’m starting to think that maybe folks hate Outlaw because they see him as a threat to Batum and Rudy’s playing time. Not you necessarily, but it came to me now, and it is on topic.

    by tominhawaii on Aug 29, 2009 10:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

    I'm not worried about who starts

    I’m worried about minutes and who finishes. You might be right about Outlaw and why some people dislike him, but for me, I would just like to see Nate play Outlaw less… and one way to do that would be to trade him.

    by jksnake99 on Aug 29, 2009 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

    I think this subject should be a fanpost

    I don’t think I’m a better fan than you or that you’re a better fan than me. I don’t think I look at big picture and you look at the task at hand, or whatever the opposite of “big picture” is. I think we both want the Blazers to win and we’re passionate about our team.

    I seriously had no idea people cared about stats the way Ben and KP do until I heard their last podcast. They are passionate about something that I only care about in the off season. I think it goes beyond stats though. Folks want Outlaw gone for more reasons than stats.

    It’s probably not even left brain/right brain. Maybe it’s personality types with some other stuff thrown in like social aspects and whatnot. I bet video games have something to do with it too.

    I think I took a big tangent here. Some fans see the team as family and other fans see them as employees. Maybe someone should make a graph.

    …however, for scientists the word “fruit” also has a precise botanical meaning, which is considerably different from its common meaning. While peaches, plums, and oranges are “fruits” in both senses, many items commonly called “vegetables” — such as eggplants, bell peppers, and tomatoes — are technically fruits; and so are also most cereals, and some spices like pepper and chili.

    I have a few.

    Chris Leben, cuz I sort of know the guy. Lesnar, cuz he was the last guy I followed before I stopped watching wrestling, and Anderson Silva for obvious reasons. I used to like Fedor before he got all chicken zach and refused to fight anybody decent. His managers are ridiculous.

    ok

    but you can’t call the fight? i guess i just can’t imagine anyone wanting to take a beating like that. I appreciate the skill and technique they have and all the different skill sets they have to have(kick, punch, ground etc). im not saying that boxing is better because they have more skill. but i can’t handle the brutality.

    human cockfighting is a bad choice of words. they are doing what comes naturally and they don’t have a choice.

    don't have a choice? if you want to have a conversation, you've got to have some kind of knowledge of what you're talking about.

    Example: Rich Franklin left elementary school teaching to fight MMA. Mirko Cro Cop is member of Parliament in Croatia. Obviously they have a choice. MMA only pays a liveable wage to the people at the top. 99% of the fighters make less than $1k per fight, and work side jobs to pay for the training. Nobody is in MMA because they have to be.

    one of my very best podnah's

    is a former Taekwando national champ,I have always wondered how the ufc guys would fair against a large black belt master

    by southern oregon on Aug 29, 2009 11:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

    UFC guys today are generally competent in most forms of martial arts.

    I’m no expert on Taekwando, but I would think that it wouldn’t be very useful against a wrestler. MMA is a lot like chess, every style has its weakness, and it’s hard to be great at all of them. Fighters like Georges St. Pierre are as good as they are because they are very good at everything, and weak at nothing.

    Some guys are sooo good at one thing, that it takes awhile for someone to beat them (Brock Lesnar and Chuck Liddell are examples of this).

    The original UFC shows would pit one dimensional fights against each other to see which style would win. almost every time, the fighters who were good at wrestling or jiu jiutsu would win, because the boxers couldn’t do anything on their back.

    One of the funniest fights ever was a 600+ lb sumo wrestler fighting a 185 lb. brawler (this was pre-rules UFC, obviously). The street fighter got the sumo guy to slip and fall, and that was it. Sumo guy couldn’t stand up, so the little guy just pummeled him into the ref had mercy. Fortunately, with weight classes and state sanctions, you don’t see mismatches like this anymore, at least not in the U.S.

    ufc is definitely not my thing either

    I don’t think i have moral qualms with it—it just…doesn’t…interest me.

    I used to work in a pharmacy and a dude from our town trained up to be an MMA fighter guy…he got his butt whipped one night and has been on $300 a month meds ever since and still feels hot streaks of pain all down his spine all the time.

    I know there’s a story like that for pretty much every sport, but actually knowing someone and having to fill their ’scription all the time just burnt me out on the sport before I even got a chance to attempt to get into it.

    Alright, sorry. I know this is a cheapshot.
