Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

9/25 Junk - The Truth (Not Paul Pierce)

So I think it would be a good idea to get the truth out about what happened on Wednesday night. I'll give you a full run down with detail of the night. You can choose sides then, but I'm pretty sure where most people stand based on the outrage that has preceded this post.

Star-divide

     I arrived at Hollywood Bowl at around 6:45 pm. They had league so it was almost impossible to find a parking spot. After getting inside I saw TheTinfoil and The X-Man sitting at a table so I joined them. At that point there were four of us there including Philthyanimal. Prez showed up next around 7. We went and talked to the desk about how long it would be to get a lane. She was a beezy both times we have had bedge bowl. She said the wait would be about an hour. We weighed our options of waiting or going to another bowling alley while we waited for BRP to show up. We decided to stay and wait it out since none of us had anything to do later. BRP showed up and bought us all a pitcher of beer and a pitcher of Pepsi (Thanks BRP!!!). BRP couldn't stay to bowl as he had to go home and read for his daughter since she's in school now. While we were all having a fun time, one older guy came and asked if we wanted to join the league. We would have to commit to being there Wednesday for 26 weeks. We all obviously wanted no part of this league but the guy went on for a good 5 minutes trying to sell it to us. I blame TheTinfoil as he was the only one that continued to talk to him during the sales pitch. After waiting until about 8:15 we finally got a lane.

     As we arrived on our lanes, there was an old dude bowling next to us practicing. We didn't bother him and he didn't bother us. About 2 frames into the first game, a little black kid came up to us trying to sell Dove Chocolate bars for 4 bucks. TheTinfoil was the only one to buy one, I believe it was milk chocolate. Tinfoil was also the only one to eat the chocolate. Philthy also donated a dollar. Unfortunately, I lost that first game which resulted in the infamous picture of me and Prez. I came back the second game and won that one though, but I still didn't bowl very well. TheTinfoil left after the second game and we had a replacement (sorry I forgot your SN!)

     Now the third game begins and we start making bets. All the bets we made were verbal bets. The stipulations of this bet were:

  1. If I win, Prezofdeath, Philthyanimal, and The X-Man had to change their sig to "Starvin' Marvin beat me at bowling"
  2. If I lost to any of the three, I had to put whoever I lost to in my sig. I ended up losing to The X-Man and Prez that game. My new sig is now "I lost to The X-Man and prezofdeath at bowling. :( :( :("

     As our final game began we made another bet. The X-Man didn't want to be involved in this part so he didn't have anything to lose. The bet was:

  1. If I win, I get to choose prezofdeath's and philthyanimal's avatars.
  2. If either prez or philthy win, they get to collectively choose my avatar

      I said "What if I beat you by 100?" At that point Prez said "If you beat my by 100, I will retire Prezofdeath forever." I gladly took the deal knowing that I could easily beat prez by 100. I got off to a good start that game with a turkey but then left a big split. After missing the split and before my next frame, we had the funniest moment of the night. The X-Man had thrown a good shot on his first ball but left a 5 pin. In his attempt to pick up the spare, he fell on the lane face first. He went at least 5 feet down the lane, but still managed to pick up the spare. He had me laughing so hard that I was crying but it didn't effect my bowling. I put together 2 more strikes, got a spare, then had 2 more strikes. Prez wasn't doing well at all during this game, I think I got into his head seeing as he threw multiple splits. Anyway come the 10th frame, I needed to hit just 5 pins to win. I got 9 pins in the 10th frame for a final score of 206 while prez finished with a 99. That's a win by 107 pins for those who don't want to do the math.

     POIDH?--------->

     20090723200_medium


Prez, philthy, and The X-Man were all pretty much in shock and denial but I believe prez is a man of his word, and if I wanted him to, he would drop prezofdeath. I pretty much decided on my way home from bedge bowl that I wouldn't make prez drop his infamous SN but I wanted to see how this place would react. We have talked about it and will re-negotiate our bet. Prez's goodbye post was nothing but a lie. He's not going anywhere. I couldn't imagine this place without him. You guys(and gals) can stop freaking out now.

 

 

New negotiations:

  1. Prez keeps his name
  2. Has to rock a sig commemorating me beating him by 100 until the start of the reg season
  3. Rocks his new avatar until the start of the reg season
  4. Wears a "I love Socks" shirt to all future Bedge events
  5. Phil gets to pick his own avatar again
  6. My sig gets changed back to whatever I want

I pull out this album on a regular basis

They were hard and smooth but not cheesy, and they set the stage for hardcore rap. I liked rap a little before, but when I heard Paid in Full I was hooked. It has got to be one of the most sampled songs.

yes!

Paid in Full has got to be one of the best ever. Back then, I alway preferred NWA, Public enemy, and BDP. But what i really am starting to realize is how much Rakim paved the way for the style of rap that didn’t really become popular until the mid-nineties. And Eric B did some great sampling, very innovative.

I always felt NWA and Public Enemy had an angle

Like “we are the gangsta rap group” or “we are the pro-black group”. I loved both of them as well (I probably listened to PE the most, only because they were more prolific), but I felt Eric B and Rakim were more about making music and telling a story. Damn this sounds cheesy. I don’t know, Eric B and Rakim were more pure I guess as dumb as that sounds. I don’t know how else to say it without sounding like a nit-picky music nerd.

Unfotunately their later albums kinda softened up a bit.

I am a bit GURU fan as well.

So much of the mid to late ‘80s rap was about angles and gimmicks. I don’t even recall Eric B and Rakim getting into any rap feuds and diss raps that were so popular. They really were just pure: beat & samples meets straight forward lyrics and one of the best rappers of all time. It really didn’t last much past those first few albums, but they were amazing.

I’ve only heard the first two Jazzmatazz albums but talk about innovative. The jazz influence on hip-hop made it much more smooth the the older school in your face riffing that they all used to do.

just to contrary, I would say rap was the least gimmicky in the 80s as everything was still getting sorted out. You still had Will Smith rapping about how parents dont understand, but that is hella tough compared to the crap I hear today. Also, marketing agencies hadnt figured out that white people love rap music, so it wasnt used in as much as a gimmicky fashion as it was used in the 90s.

What has happened to rap since then is an abomination. But I wouldn’t call rap gimmicky today; just crap. Back then, it always felt like every rap group needed to fall into a clearly defined box.

Here is my black power group.

Here is my west coast gangsta rap.

Here is my parent-safe dance rap.

Here is my representin’ brooklyn rap.

Here is my representin’ bronx rap.

And in case you ever forget which one is which, they’ll write like a million different songs all about defining and limiting ourselves to the preconceived notion of ourselves.

But it was probably because things were still getting sorted out and that all of the “commercialization” that was happening back then was more like “branding” than anything else. How do we stand out and stay memorable if we don’t have that hook?

The song that sticks in my head the most is probably from PE

“I got a letter from the government, the other day
I open and read it
It said they are suckers
They wanted me for their army of whatever
Picture me giving a damn, I said never”

The mental image those lyrics create is goofy. I just picture Professor Grif opening a letter that says,

“HI :)

We are the government. We’re suckers. Do you wanna join this super fun party in the army!?!? It is going to be awesome!! It is a potluck so bring your favorite dish."

That's funny.

‘Night of the Living Baseheads’ was one of my favorites growing up. And those lines and the line from Boyz in the Hood (the movie not the song): “There ain’t no place for a black man in the white man’s army.” was all of the convincing I ever needed to avoid the armed services even if my mom hadn’t raised me as a pacifist.

But it really does create a goofy image if you try to imagine a video of it telling the story.

The Phoenix Mercury are averaging 100 ppg in the playoffs (in 40 minutes)

That translates to 120 ppg over a 48 minute NBA game. They play at a blistering pace— faster than all but 28 NBA teams since 1980 according to this guy at “Swish Appeal”. I am going to watch game 2 of their series with the LA Sparks— featuring exciting players like Diana Taurasi, Cappie Pondexter, Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker. If there were ever a time to give the WNBA another shot, the Mercury are it.

Well, Corey Gaines is a disciple of Paul Westhead.

Gaines played for Westhead at Loyala Marymount in college and with the Denver Nuggets in the NBA, so it’s not shocking that he followed in his footsteps as was an assistant for him in the WNBA.

Even though I’ve got an aversion to Westhead’s pell-mell, helter-skelter run-and-gun offense, it’s worked in women’s basketball and men’s college basketball much more effectively than in the NBA.

When Westhead actually did well in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers during the early-‘80s, he didn’t coach at such a blistering pace, piggybacked on the play Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Earvin Johnson — with “Magic” being someone who openly detested him — and only got the job in the first place due to his buddy, Jack McKinney, damn near getting killed in a bicycle accident. Westhead’s stint in Denver during the early-’90s — which was an abject failure — showed his gimmicky system that he developed at Loyola Marymount with Hank Gathers (R.I.P.) and Bo Kimble had no place in the NBA.

And some local causes. I once got briefly arrested for possession of a dangerous weapon, because a friend of mine had his bike chain in his pocket after it had ripped on his way to the demonstration.

Watching the protests against the last G8 summit was fun on TV, but too many lunatics walking around and the police taking itself too seriously. Same happens on protests against transportation of uranium rods around Europe. Once that was so important that new parties formed around it, now nobody really cares and even Finland is building a new nuclear reactor.

When Prez was young

he needed to pick up a split of some sort. He decided the best way to do this would be to bowl left handed with wicked spin.

The ball jumped 1.5 lanes, hit a pole, and rebounded back down the lane and slammed into some chairs, causing every single person in the bowling alley to immediately stop and stare.

The vending machine idea was new to me — what a great concept! People I know say crows are
as smart as border collies, so it’s not surprising they figured things out.

My neighborhood crows know me and sometimes drop nuts on the sidwalk in front of me. I’d like
to think that they know that I’m going to smash them so the crows can get at the meat inside. I’ve
also gotten into “conversations” with the neighbor crows, where we mimic the other’s sounds. Kinda wild.

As far as the students up in Washington wearing wigs to disguise themselves from the crows
they’re studying, I’ve heard that they’re also wearing Dick Cheney and George Bush masks as a
disguise.

There were rumors Ime Udoka and Juwan Howard received offers (unguaranteed contracts)
We will see. I agree that another real and physically strong PF/C as an emergency insurance and training buddy would be an advantage. One difficulty with offering too many of those training camp invites (20 players is the max): If a player hurts himself, his contract is on the books no matter if 0% or 100% were guaranteed. That happened to Miami and Orlando last year.

Funny that the players who seem most concerned about this are players getting “star calls” like Shaq. But I also wouldn’t want some second-tier ref leading my games as a player or team owner just so the league can save a comparatively small amount of money. Hard to say if the NBA is really serious about this knowing the reputation of officiating is already in severe danger, or if it’s just a “see, we can do without you” tactic.

Ok, so trying to regain some of prez’s privileges back, or at least trying to place his adversary in an embarrassing position, I entered into a bet with DS. Gutsy, I know, but it seemed like an easy win.
The first 5 people that went into tinychat had to know what siesta meant, since DS had never heard of the word before today.
However, the second person to go into the room this morning, phillyduck23, did not know the answer to this question, so I lost the bet.
Thankfully, I had been careful enough to enter into all these agreements as FreeForAll, so this account of mine will now be sporting the stupidest sig of all time, and also a blatant lie. The good news is that I don’t intend to use it very much, at least not until season starts, which is when the bet ends.
Sorry for the pain I will be causing your eyes after reading my sig. Love you all

We just met with one loan guy for one house

Da kine loan guy said we could probably be approved for a loan that was about $300-$400K more than I thought we would get. My wife’s eyes lit up extra big like and scared me, because we’d end up in a huge house and we’d be one of those couples that tries to get everyone to hang out at our house and we wouldn’t have any furniture. Her money quote was, “Well they always say you should push your limits because you should be making more money down the road.”

I also found out my credit score is 796 and I was mad that I didn’t break 800.

I’m married to an accountant too, and I do all the household bookkeeping and taxes because he’s notso hotso at subtraction and I’m into making things balance to the penny. Of course, balancing to the penny isn’t really all that important, really. That bigger picture stuff — plus the fact that he’s a pretty good actor — is why he’s a better accountant than I am.

We ended up with a smallish house in a great neighborhood because we knew we’d never have problems selling it. Also, we never wanted to have to stretch to make payments, even at the beginning. Besides, cleaning and maintenance are real time sucks, and we couldn’t see doing it for something bigger than we need, even though we qualified.

We did the exact same thing. It has been great, I tell you. We bought a smaller, cheaper, older house in a very desirable neighborhood. We have worked to fix it up, and it is worth a lot more today. Our mortgage isn’t much more than I was paying renting a 1 bedroom apartment.

That's about what we're paying

We also managed to refinance for a 15-yr loan when the rates hit bottom, so that helps.

It blows my mind to realize that we’re paying $150 a month less than we did for an apartment in California in 1994.

by Corvid on Sep 25, 2009 11:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

We refi-ed also

But we did not do the 15 year. We figured if we kept the 30, but made bi-monthly payments, and add some additional, then we still be done in 15. Plus, we would not give up any flexibility. If the poop hits the fan, then we could just stop adding extra, go back to monthly payments, and we’d have more monthly cash flow. With a 15, we felt we’d be locked in.

I guess it depends on how long you are going to keep you house, and if you anticipate a significant need for money in the next 15 years.

i didn’t realize it till i sat down with my dad and he showed me how much he saved by refinancing @ 4.5% instead of 6.5 and how he upped his payment by 100 bucks a month…saved him a ridiculous amount over the life of the loan.

Loan officers tend to tell you that you qualify for a bigger loan than you thought you could get

(at least if you have sterling credit)

You probably should keep some flexibility so that you can get a minivan to haul those rug rats that 92 is talking about around though.

Couple things im pretty sure of

You should qualify,all it takes is an Honorable Discharge[smirks].you should be able to get a VA loan for place that is not a VA repo.

We qualify for all sorts of loans. I can get a VA loan too. My wife’s not one of those “It was on sale so I bought two,” kind of ladies but if she thinks she has money to spend, she wants to spend all of it.

What do you think the Ducks chances are of a win?

I’m thinking they got a 45% chance of winning. Maybe 52.46% because they are at home. I don’t have much confidence in the quarterback.

by tominhawaii on Sep 25, 2009 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

im not entirely sure cause i have yet to watch cal play

but this is an almost auto loss on the road and probably 49.735% i think they will try very hard to stop best and might(the lb are fast so they should be there to make plays on best) so it all comes to which qb can be the best and really i dont got much faith in either.

by phillyduck23 on Sep 25, 2009 6:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

more like <20% chance IMO

maybe even lower than that. they can’t win if Masoli continues to play like poo in the passing game.

My grandma in law has giant watermelon sized breasts. Hugging her is like lying face down on a microbead beanbag.

Last time I saw her, she was wearing a blouse that showed a lot of cleavage and the cleavage was incredibly flat. Her cleavage was maybe an 1/8 of an inch deep and an 1/8 of an inch wide. It’s like the only thing keeping her breasts from joining together is her skin.

it’s not so bad in theory because you are giving defenses different looks, but it would have been a good idea to just stick with the hot hand in each game instead of continually rotating and not letting your QBs get in a rhythm.

I think prez and DS experienced a BEdger moment

Webster defines a BEdger moment as a moment where ignorance overwhelms the mind of otherwise logical BEdger males, causing them to act in an idiotic, self-defeating manner. BEdger moments are unpredictable, but they all end up bad.

If BEdgers moments had their own category, BEdgers moments would be the third leading killer of Blazer fans behind Outlaw’s shooting and bad officiating. It’s a fact.

you can set reserve prices so it won't sell until someone bids a realistic amount

whatever you want but considering there may be other people offering the same item for sell it's best to keep it in line with existing prices.

Ebay is actually an interesting resource for evaluating market value for your possessions, if it wasn’t for ebay I wouldn’t know how valuable some of my music equipment is.

How strange would it be to realize when you child is a toddler that he is gay?

My friend here has an 8 year old that everyone is convinced is gay. She’s cool with it but she struggles trying to get him to not be a sissy. She said she was playing soccer with him and he always turns sideways to avoid getting hit by the ball. She said she just wanted to throw the ball at him a bunch so he’s realize it doesn’t hurt that bad.

I also found this link when I searched for “”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=kzn&ei=SNS9SvzfNY6qswOErvFH&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=raising+a+gay+toddler&spell=1" target="new">raising a gay toddler."

He’s nine now, and I’d say there’s a 50-50 chance he wasn’t joking.

I’m hoping my daughter is into girls. Seriously. While I have no doubt I could do the “threaten the male suitors” thing, just seems like the ladies would be easier to deal with.

Depends

I have some lesbian friends in Eugene and the boyish one is a drunk and socially awkward. It’s kind of funny because all the women we know hate her but I like her because she kind of reminds me of the kid on Arrested Development. I’m knows alcoholic abusive lesbians too. You’d be better off having a girl that gets guys that are punani whipped.

for those that are wondering what a throttle violation is...

it’s when the system detects you may be some kind of spam bot. Usually posting the same word or phrase a hundred times over will trigger this (i.e. rec) or posting 100 comments in a row with a ton of links in them (thinks you are trying to use blazers edge to boost number of links to your website so you can raise higher in google search ranking).

No need to worry if you’re just a normal commenter.

NASCAR is not a sport

it should be discontinued immediately. Although, I worry that without NASCAR thousands of rednecks will put up lawn chairs on the sides of highways and end up getting themselves killed. I wouldn’t really mind if there were fewer rednecks out there, but all that rubbernecking to see their mangled bodies will slow down my commute.

I saw every second of every game, and I don't remember that

between the leg pass from the left side of the floor from Rudy to Przy.
But i know the commentators almost missed one of his other ones.

Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
