PrintSo, uhh, usually I don't this but, uhh, go ahead and break 'em off with a lil' preview of the remix.
Exposition
word of the day: entrainment
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts.. with a goal to foster community and people have really become a family here.
So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
- Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.
- Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- Remember everything you write is visible publicly
- Don't use the JD call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, remember that you can use 'Z' on your keypad to mark a comment as read and move to the next one and hitting shift-A will mark all comments as read. Hitting 'Zorro' will strike the commenter dead.

I don't know about you all, but I love love songs. EK might say that I am in loving with songs about loving.
Recapitulation
Origin of the ScreenNames
My third favorite junk that I ever made (after my first one and The Junk) was this one about origins. I still think the origin tale is the coolest part of most stories, be they love stories, war stories, hero stories, or fan stories.
In one of my first fanposts I describe my own origins as a Blazer fan during the 2004-2005 season. I also think back to one of the first comments I made in a thread about screen name origins and how 92 was going to retell his 92wastheyear story next time someone made a thread that asked it. WELL I AM ASKING IT.
We've grown and keep changing around here. Many of us know each other's stories how we found the Blazers (by birth, relocation, or happenstance) or found BEdge, why we chose to identify ourselves with the screenname we chose, and sometimes even about our lives outside of this place. Got a story to share? Got some interesting origins for your screenname choice that no one would suspect?
It's easy to tell these stories. I'll give you two examples:
- pg91: "i like portland. was born in 91. i am a girl with two 'i's lol"
- LukeBabbittFTW: "Who can have too many pasty white boys on the court?"
Old JD Analysis
In addition to this junk being a retread of my last origins junk, I'm feeling rather retrospective and want to share some summary statistics and a few brief notes of the previous 44 JDs that I have created over nearly 18 months.
- Mean Comment 1729.23
- StDev Comment 1013.65
- Min Comment 301.00
- 1st Quartile 1192.75
- Median 1606.00
- 3rd Quartile 2176.75
- Max Comment 6789.00
More fun notes about my past JDs:
- Two JDs had 9 recs: my first one and The Junk.
- 12 JDs between June 2009 and Jan 17 2010 had 2-6 recs (during the age when we bothered trying to rec the daily junk to the top and then unrec back down)
- In the over 10 months between The Junk and my first Junk, I posted 15 JDs. Post The Junk, I have posted 28 (29 with this one) JDs in a time that spanned just five months.
- On Time:
- Including this one, four of my JDs were posted at 3:33 (2 AM & 2 PM)
- Seven JDs were posted between 10am and Midnight: two at 3:33pm, one at 3:23pm, one at 7:33pm, two at 7:07 PM, and one at 6:28 PM (posted immediately following "The Decision" and promptly junk blocked by Dave)
- Six of my JDs were posted exactly at Midnight.
- The rest (33 with this one) were posted between Midnight and 10am; 20 of those were posted between 5-9AM.

Note To Brandon Roy, if you are listening, please just spend a little bit of time really focusing on the health of your knee. Maybe other guys can go on and on and you can't. Maybe you will or maybe you won't fully recover. These are things that scare us as fans, but I have no idea how they affect you as a man. But... please don't go back out on the court until you honestly feel that you can compete with the best. It really doesn't seem that pretending you can play on is going to help you, your health, or your team. We need more than someone to MAN UP; you have to be well enough to help for it to matter.
Hey, isn't this weird?
Also, I'm tired of people talking about Lea Michelle. She's not particularly cute, just another 20somethinger pretending to be a teen on a TV show. No one talks about the only thing that stands out about her, which is that her voice is pretty good (if you like that over-the-top Broadway sound -- Simon Cowell would hate her.).
^me
Climax
I was also thinking it'd be cool to spoof a spoof song. I dedicate this song to all the players who gamble to get those steals and the poor passing teams who feed them turnovers.
Passinlane Intruder
he’s jumpin' in your passinlanes
he’s snatchin' your passes up
tryna front ya
so y’all need to watch yo pass, hide yo eyes
watch yo pass, hide yo eyes
guard yo pass, out or inside
and watch yo alleyoops cuz they stealin' erry ball out here
you don’t have to freak -- overreact he fullcourtin on you
he gon press you
he gon press you
so you can rush an awkward pass,
rush an awkward pass,
leading to a turnover turn, turn, turnover
He got yo inlet pass you done telegraphed it for all
you are so dumb
you are really dumb ... for real
now he got it on the move leading to a fastbreak
then he got hacked by some idiot in the backcourt
so dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so
Dénouement
In conclusion, I miss watching Greg Oden play. I miss how amazing it felt to draft him way back when. I think that's why I dislike the Durant over Oden stuff as much as anything, and why it is so hard to give up on the big guy. I am just not willing to buy that he doesn't care. All of us deserve his success; him, most of all. And I will be quiet until he returns
Coda
Bless ye junk. If you need me, you can find me.

So, um, does that mean Greg Oden's screen name is Durex_XXL?
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
The NBA shot clock should be raised to 35 seconds, guys should have 10 seconds instead of 8 seconds ...
to get the ball past halfcourt, and the shot clock should no longer reset to 14 seconds on a foul in the frontcourt.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
BORING!
except for fouls resetting to 14. Maybe 10. I don’t want “strategic fouling”. I’m glad the league made rules to limit “hack a shaq” and I see the 14 second reset in a similar light. The defending team should (almost) never benefit from fouling by, say, taking an on the floor foul late in the shot clock to force the offense to inbound and get a shot up in <5 seconds.
There are only 5 team fouls in a quarter, though, so that kind of strategic fouling can't be applied ...
too often in a short period of time. I, however, still believe that the defense should get more breaks, with handchecking once again being allowed as one way to do it.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Yeah the handcheck rules and the restricted area are the suck.

I totally agree, for a charge should be a charge anywhere on the court.

just, no. This a lot of the reason college games are so boring to watch

It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
For me its the other way around
I’m hardly a purist when it comes to fundamentals but all things being equal I would rather see 6 quick passes before a shot than three slow passes and a one one move before a shot.
by Kaanyr Vhok on Nov 11, 2010 10:25 AM PST up reply actions 1 recs
Fair enough
But I don’t see that as shot-clock related per se. Teams like the Spurs and Jazz have tremendous ball movement, it’s just hard for coaches to overcome the egos of an entire team of NBA players. Also, I can’t stand watching college players miss open jumper after open jumper and get stifled by fairly simple zones. The average FG% of a college game hurts my eyes
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
"The average FG% of a college game hurts my eyes."
In the NBA, however, efficiency would be fine with a slower pace.
Heck, I even bet that efficiency would improve with such changes.

Screen name origin story? ok......Once upon a time
I was in my home…..laying on the couch….the shades were drawn….it was dark except for the TV…..no one came to visit….no one called….I was also unemployed because our family business just closed it’s doors. …this was largely because my father has decided to have an affair with my best friends wife….my life was at it’s lowest ebb….it was my 30th birthday…..92 was the year.
When I made the screen name (the first time) I had just turned 45 and my life was much different….a great job….a wife…2 beautiful kids…a nice home….I picked the Screen name as a reminder of how much better I had it than when 92wastheyear….and even now, when I am having some new troubles….it is still much better that when 92wastheyear.
So basically it is a reminder to value what I have …because there was a time when had nothing at all….and 92wastheyear

Reading up on his knee injury history has me pretty worried. I forgot how much he already had.
As it stands, it wouldn't shock me if Brandon Roy gets microfracture surgery during the lockout.
B-Roy could very well be T-Mac Version 2.0.

It’s what most of us have thought too, I guess.
Would rather it be Roy + Oden and not just Oden cannibalizing Roy or Roy being forced to take a lesser role due to injury, buttttttttttttttttttttt yeah.
#52
Maybe on Hollinger paper, like his fabled trade machine evaluations
We need a very good Roy and a healthy Oden or here goes nothing.
If so, I'm all for keeping Andre Miller through the remainder of this season.
The one guy who Miller will undoubtedly benefit the most is a healthy Oden. Oh, and if Brandon Roy is out for a long period of time — which might become the case with eventual microfracture surgery — then I hope Miller gets more responsibility as an offensive coordinator of sorts on the floor.
Defensively, though, the team will still be doomed due to have a flawed scheme with McMillan at the helm, but at least the offense will become more power-oriented on the whole.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
I know, I know there is a front page post about it
But, my first reaction about the Blazers book was, “Why? The Blazers haven’t won anything yet. This is the type of thing that is usually released after a championship.” Idol wuz there to witness my response.

New to JD
I got my name because my first name starts with a J and I am a huge Blaze the Trailcat fan. Not really about the second part, it’s more a play on the PTB and one of my favorite recreational/medicinal activities. I really wanna change my name to J-Xile though, who would I contact about that.
If your a fan of rap/hip hop I would seriously check out my music btw, I’m rocking a personalized PTB J-Xile jersy with 503 as my number on my site and Facebook. You can’t rep it much harder than that, lol. I make the beats and productions, write my songs, and can freestyle as well. Hoping to start doing show soon and one day perform at a half time show at the RG.
Does BE have an official rapper, cuz I would def battle him for that spot, lol.

deliberating with PA…broy wants to play but they are leaning heavily towards shutting him down for a few weeks since they have less games in the next month…
the issue is that, they don’t know if time will cure or some scoping.

i've been thinking about the concussion issues in the NFL
and i think i got the solution:
- get rid of helmets all together
- change the should pads to be thinner
instead of making helmets more durable and safe, leading players to think they can continue to use their heads as battering rams, just remove them…Rugby players don’t get concussions right?

Fans of American football wouldn't adapt well to that drastic of a change in the game.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Certain positions do wear leather helmets with padding. And headbands to avoid "cauliflower ears" that a lot of players have.
I doubt that’s the way they are moving into.
Warning, very graphic image. Many rugby players are proud of that, but most people find it just nasty.
My nickname story
I was in Jr. High, and one of my block teachers thought I had the absolute coolest last name. He coined me “The X-man”, accompanied by crossing his forearms over his head in an X… I’ve used it ever since.
The crossed forearms doesn’t really translate well to a screen name though

Sports Fans Coalition has launched the Local Chapter SFC-Portland in order to organize and mobilize those frustrated Trail Blazers fans who continue to be shut out from being able to watch their home team play home games on TV unless they pay Comcast’s ransom. Furthermore, many sports fans in Oregon do not have Comcast in their area, and therefore, can not watch their team play.
i just want to pay a small fee ($10 to $15), so I can order channels a la carte for about $2 to $3 each.
it’ll never happen. I am not that broken up about it. In 5 years, I bet entertainment disti will not look at all like it does now.
i’d prefer all out freemarket where all the channels streamed everything directly from their sites, therefor putting comcast out of the tv disti business….but knowing comcast, they’d figure out a way to charge for bandwidth use or something.
The cable networks are pushing into the content creation business
And for now, they own the distribution channel AND are in the bandwidth Internet business. They are hard to get out of there, even for companies like Google, Sony and Apple there is not much room for innovation there in the US, and not much more abroad. And their business model is to charge you for crap bundled with gold, and to cap you. I don’t see much change there any time soon even though the technology is pretty much there in terms of set top boxes with Internet interface. You might get internet content on the same level as traditional TV channels easy to access which is what some companies bank on, and more on demand content, but that’s about it.
good thing I am using Clear WiMAX (even though I think comcast may own a stake in it, I know they were reselling it)
Did you know by ITU standards 4G would have to be 100 mbit/s
No company claiming they have 4G will offer this even close, and they’ll still call it 4G. T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, … In the US probably LTE will win out with AT&T and Verizon supporting that standard, at much reduced speeds compared to what would be possible in theory.

Rogers, in an interview with ESPN 103.3 in Dallas, was asked if Cecil Newton ever told him how much money it would take to get his son to play for Mississippi State. “Yes he did,” Rogers said. Asked how much, he said: “Anywhere between $100,000 and $180,000.”

Oregon FB celebrates vets
http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/11/oregon_football_chip_kelly_has_1.html
Oregon coach Chip Kelly had three veterans address the team after football practice Thursday in the Casanova Center.
The three veterans — Ryan Stock, Steve Green and Alec York — are members of Oregon’s facilities crew.
Kelly said it was appropriate to remember the sacrifices veterans make on Veteran’s Day, and he thinks there is a deeper message too.
“I had an opportunity to go see those guys in action,” Kelly said of the offseason tour in which he visited members of the armed forces stationed overseas. "When you watch the camaraderie those guys have, the enthusiasm they have for their job, the way they don’t let outside influences affect them — I was in Baghdad and it was 120 degrees, and you wouldn’t be able to tell that when you watched those guys work.
“There wasn’t anybody who complained about things they didn’t control. They’re just very professional in terms of what their job is all about. There are a lot of big lessons you can learn from that.”

http://consumerist.com/2010/11/alabama-schools-paddle-kids-with-no-way-for-parents-to-opt-out.html
Corporal punishment in schools is legal in lots of states, but if you assumed parents could always opt-out, you’d be mistaken. According to a report from WHNT in Alabama, one student was beaten until he was bruised because he failed a science test.
The kid, who says he (and his mom) reported the teacher to the local news because he wants to save other kids from being bruised, describes the incident:
"
“It felt like he was trying to touch the ceiling and when he came down… it felt like he was trying to smack me through the wall.”
"
The news station investigated and found that the teacher apparently didn’t break any laws, but that the school district handbook doesn’t specifically allow kids to be subjected to corporal punishment for purely academic offenses, such as failing a test. As for a “no paddle” list, there’s apparently no such thing in DeKalb County, Alabama.

Sadly no
And even though I have today off, I have to get up early tomorrow for the bris for my best friend’s child (the one I share Blazer tix with) which is at 8 AM tomorrow morning. Overjoyed to do it of course but given that I got up at 9:30 today, a little different than normal.

We have a soft schedule in terms of games played the rest of this month

I'd take Iggy over Westbrook
But age and current contract makes it a close call. Most would go the other way I’d imagine.
Rudy>Wesley
Iggy was better last year, but Westbook is showing signs of having made another substantial leap, and given his age he’s got vastly more trade value and is a critical part of the Thunder, whereas the Sixers are going nowhere with Iggy.
I tend to side with Sammy on all 3 points.
MPOTCP>PGOTF
I'm with him on 2
Iggy is clearly going to be traded for the best offer. Westbrook is clearly not going to be traded for anything short of CP3. That’s a big difference.
Rudy>Wesley
while he's definitely playing better this year
I’m reluctant to concede that his outside shooting has improved this much. He is showing signs, as you say.
I didn’t realize his rim% was so low. That’s crazy. Must because he goes in for contact.
his 3p% is actually 8% right now.
But his long 2s are at 45%. I’m guessing those numbers might regress a bit.
figuratively of course...

On that basis, you don't give up Beabois, Jones AND Butler for him then
But you are wrong. I’m not over-reacting to Iggy’s first 6 games. He is better than Westbrook and certainly better than Batum. Both could change but that is how they sit currently.
Rudy>Wesley
Beabois is broken, jones/butler sucks. i wouldn’t take those guys.
Westbrook seems to have more intangibles than Iggy…as in, he can lead without Durant. i don’t see Iggy or Batum being able to do that. Batum, i can see in the future, but Iggy has proven he can’t.
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Nicolas Batum is an unassertive pansy — with my preference being to replace the second ...
and third letters of that one word there — when he’s compared to Andre Iguodala. At any rate, the big differences between them is Iguodala is superior to Batum as a ball handler, distributor, and on-ball defender against stronger wing players.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
i love iggy and is superior overall to batum but based on this year alone (sample size), he is more of a pansy than batum.
instead of moaning about being on a contender, he should try to carry the load
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
hahaha i love how you have it in quotes.
i rather guys say, “i want us to be a contender or build towards contending” versus trade me to another team.
i’m fine with wanting to be on a contender if you know for sure you have an owner/GM rebuilding away from you…which is probably the case with Iggy, so i guess he’s excused
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
lol I blockquoted it because it’s taken from Dave.
If it’s a guy like Nash or Dirk who’s been around forever carrying the load for their team, it’s easier to not mind them wanting to be on a real contender. When you have guys like Melo and Iggy trying to force their way out it’s annoying.
But if we do get Igoudala I’d probably turn a blind eye anyway.
I want a guy who understands and accepts his faults, as well as is willing to ...
work with others to accomplish something. Heck, as a stubborn, lazy do-nothing who hates to compromise and doesn’t work with others, I know first hand that’s a recipe for failure. Knowing that, I respect people who are willing to do whatever it takes — even if it means asking for the real-world equivalent to a job transfer — to achieve success.

absolutely. A robot would use his physical tools to play defense and be awesome.
Unfortunately, trading for Gilbert means trading for Gilbert’s personality.

hey, he's one of my favorite guys to follow, absolutely.
BUT, he plays no defense, hogs the ball, has bad knees, and is booked for another five years at big money.
Plus, the fun Gilbert is replaced by depressed, weird Gilbert.
If he were willing to be a role player who would play defense and try super hard, fine! But the odds of that are fairly minuscule, and his contract prohibits the whole thing anyway.

I think trading LMA is one way of shaking up the team. I wonder how much value he has.
Regardless of perceieved value, I'd gladly swap LMA for Anderson Varejao.
Many folks appreciate how LMA is making adjustments to his game, but he’s still woefully inefficient and, even worse, screams Al Jefferson when trying to play on the low block.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
With the concerns over both Roy and Oden
LA is vastly more valuable to us than Varejao could be. We need high volume offense, even if his efficiency isn’t where you’d want, until we know what the future holds.
Rudy>Wesley
Makes perfect sense with Roy and Oden at full strength
As that looks more and more unlikely, we have to adjust. That adjustment likely includes abandoning any short term title hopes.
If Oden does get healthy, I am all for that trade and giving Greg LA’s touches down low. GO as a volume scorer would be a dream.

I'm not sure I should tell you this
You know those change machines at the grocery store? The ones who sort your loose change for you and give you cash, but take away 7% of that cash for the convenience of doing the transaction?
For some of them, if you instead have it transferred to an Amazon gift card, it’ll give you full value for your change, no fee involved.
Yep. Some banks seem to be better at this than others
Depends on the location, and of course, if you have an online bank, like ING…
Smart to give it away for free too.
It pays for itself in a hurry I bet. I was at a bookstore, took a picture of the book, and Amazon said they have it 10 dollars cheaper, and have a Kindle version if I prefer. Hmmm, let me think it over.
i’ve been to stores that say “no cell phone cameras allowed” and I’m positive it’s specifically due to apps like this
Go Blazers! Secure the Win!
Yep I've been meaning to try these apps for an eternity
I was stuck in a mall today and figured it would be a good time to try it out. I’m duly impressed.
Most of the bigger stores don’t seem to care about cameras though. Target has such slim margins, they aren’t worried about a small price difference. Except for maybe DVD’s or games.
we heard that we're interested in Varejao, Love...
I know it’s bad to just hope for a trade, but it sure seems like we need a shake up. The current cast of guys has been through so much.
it is sad that we never got to see the entire original team (I guess I am referring to the 54 wins team, or even the team we started with last season) play together.
he was not Greg though.
Overweight and not in shape, one year after micro. It was depressing to watch him be less than Greg.
It was the only Greg we knew at that time and I don’t recall many people being depressed about how he was playing, just about the foul trouble.

Am I the only one who's turned off by Kevin Love's defensive limitations?
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
He is not particularly good on offense either
Drifts around the 3pt line, no post game and only really scores of Orebs. Luckily he gets a ton of those.

Yeah, Kevin Love is an efficient scorer, a world-class offensive rebounder, and a fine passer.
Alongside Greg Oden, Love would be an awesome fit on offense. Again, though, defense would be an issue.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
How is Kevin Love an efficient scorer??
His career TS% is only 10 points higher than LA, who you openly and often unfairly bash as being totally inefficient. There is a double standard here.

Kevin Love is more effective on offense, while LMA is more effective on defense.
Oh, and when I say LMA is the better defender of two people, it’s a sad state of affairs for the other guy in that comparison.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
You called him an efficient scorer
That is inaccurate. He is no more efficient than LA. True or untrue?
Rudy>Wesley
Untrue
Better 3 point shooter who doesn’t settle for the jumper as often, plus is a better passer (although LMA is closing that gap quickly)
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
I'm really not
His offensive game isn’t that great, he is efficient offensively because of his rebounding. If we are talking Love-Oden then there is a big duplication of skills there.
Rudy>Wesley
he is a fantastic pick-setter, cutter, shooter, and passer.
Isolation scoring is incredibly overrated.
picking out one part of the post. :)
Yes, a good shooter. 38% from long 2 and he’s in an offense with no open looks being generated.
I'm a big believer in context
How many open jumpers does LA take? A couple of 20 footers? Kevin Love gets open jumpers too. Love also gets more assisted jumpers than LA, which would in theory mean he is getting better looks (ie not creating his own shot as much). I think that is twisting the numbers to suit your perception.
Rudy>Wesley
first, I never introduced the LMA-Love comparison.
I was saying that you’re underrating Love’s game. If the standard for “good shooter” is LMA, no one told me. He’s a good shooter for a big man.
There’s data we don’t have access to regarding open/covered shots. I don’t have it, you don’t have it, I get that it’s a nebulous argument. But I don’t believe I’m twisting numbers; that’s a fairly bold claim. I’m still confused as to how LMA and Love became the comparison when we were discussing Love’s game.
Yes, I understand the concept of %AST. I think we can agree that opposing defenses concede LMA long jumpers and often don’t even contest them, as they double the ballhandler off the pick and roll. There is no such luxury for Love, and %AST measures the shots you make, not the ones you miss.
Drifts around the 3pt line, no post game and only really scores of Orebs. Luckily he gets a ton of those.
I’d say that this is a perception with very little substantiation. Particularly the bit about drifting around the three point line; and if he only scored off of o-reebs, then why is his %AST right about at LMA’s?
OK
I used the LA comparison because it seemed relevant to the discussion of the pros and cons of acquiring Love.
Perhaps ‘twisting the numbers’ was too strong. All I’m saying is that you have excuses for Love’s inefficiency as a jumpshooter, yet honestly I don’t think anyone gives Love’s jumpshot as much respect as they do LA’s. Therefore I believe he is getting easier attempts. This is totally based on my own observations, there are no numbers to back it up, so you are right. That is also true of my comment about him drifting around the perimeter – solely based on a few Timberwolves games I watched last year and two I have seen so far this year.
As to your last point about AST%, Love only has 50% of his attempts at the rim assisted, whereas LA has averaged around 70% for his career. That is a pretty big difference, and it’s not like LA is junk as an offensive rebounder himself.
Rudy>Wesley
.
Both of us are making arguments regarding his shooting that are very difficult to back up factually. We’ll have to agree to disagree there, until we have degree of difficulty data.
Regarding %AST, you said of his entire offensive game that he drifts around the free throw line and only scores off of offensive rebounds. Seeing as ~half or more of his attempts are close to the hoop, and his %AST is 54ish, I think this judgment is inaccurate. I don’t care what his %AST is specifically at the rim.
They don't duplicate each other.
Kevin Love is a face-up player on the high-post, while Greg Oden should be used as a back-to-the-basket scorer on the low block. Also, having two of the strongest offensive rebounders would be an interesting test theory. While defensive rebounds suffer from dimishing returns at the team level, the ballclub’s offensive rebound percentage should get an incredible boost by having two first-rate board crashers on that side of the ball.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
I'd rather that interesting test theory occur elsewhere.
I was only talking about rebounding, other than that they are clearly very different players.
Rudy>Wesley
offensive rebounding tends to add.
Defensive rebounding doesn’t. So adding two great offensive rebounders together is a recipe for awesome.
We already have Oden, LA and Camby
I don’t think you can put two of the best offensive rebounders in the same frontcourt and have their %s stay the same. There must be diminishing returns.
Rudy>Wesley
have LMA or Camby experienced any reduction in their ORB% playing together?
The data shows that there’s very little diminishing returns for offensive rebounding.
And of course there will be some loss! There’s loss putting LMA and Greg together, by your very own admission.
Love and Oden are in a different class to Camby and LA on the offensive glass
Both LA and Camby average around 10 ORB%, both Love and Oden average around 15 ORB%. Do you think it is possible for that frontcourt alone to get 30% of all available offensive boards? I’m sceptical.

Of course it wouldn't be seamless addition.
But would you rather go after a player who’s poor on the offensive glass? Offensive rebounding has a little diminishing return, but we can see from LMA and Camby that two guys can get around their career rates together. It would be a little worse with Oden and Love, but still a fantastic duo.
But, adding passing in a second big is likely the most important thing for Oden’s success. So I’d argue that Love is a dynamic fit with Greg.
I just think LA is a better fit
And Love’s offensive rebounding isn’t enough of a reason to want him.
Rudy>Wesley
you want him because of passing and effectiveness without the ball
not just because of his offensive rebounding.
LA lob plays have been pretty effective
Greg passing out of a double team to an open LA would work too.
Rudy>Wesley
I don't want a PF to shoot 3s
I don’t want them shooting 20 footers either, but luckioly LA isn’t doing that nearly as much. Also, Love’s reputation for passing is mainly as an outlet passed no? I don’t see how this helps Greg – Love certainly isn’t dropping dimes at a higher rate than LA so maybe I’m missing something but I don’t get why I’d want Love.
Also, his defense is terrible.
Rudy>Wesley
He had an assist % of 12.5 as, often, the only effective weapon on the floor last year. I’d rather my PF can step out to the arc on occassion in order to stretch the D. Way better than the 20ft.
I'd just rather have the better shooter
Love and LA’s career AST% are 9.6 and 8.5 respectively, a difference for sure, but not a chasm. Nevertheless, I was wrong on that point. Even with Love being a better passer though, his defense is a deal breaker for me.
Rudy>Wesley
this argument was about his offensive capabilities, and then his fit with Greg on that end.
And passing is as much qualitative as quantitative. I believe Love’s a significantly better passer and LMA’s a fairly poor passer, though careful.
Also, I'm adressing sammy, who said
I think Love is an amazing fit with GO
by sammy on Nov 11, 2010 6:28 PM PST up reply actions
If he only mean’t on offense, then my bad.
Rudy>Wesley
this entire argument was framed out of AK's post.
so I’m guessing sammy was referring to offense. Love isn’t a good fit with anyone on defense.
Yup, Kevin Love is hard to hide on defense.
I’d say Andrew Bogut would be the best guy to pair him with on the frontline, though.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
Andre Bogut is better at not fouling and ...
taking charges on help defense.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
The name Andre makes me think of Paul ...
Scheer’s character on The League, which is the opposite of cool.

I'm trying to figure a way to squeeze out of one
My wife’s and my contract are 18 months old. My grandmother’s phone died about a year ago, so we got her a new phone, w/2 year contract extension. In retrospect, I should have just bought a cheap or used phone for her. Her new phone just died, about 3 weeks after her warranty expired. I need to get her a new phone, but even so if my wife and I want to switch carriers in 6 months, we still have the 3rd contract for another 6 months. I wonder if yelling at enough people through the right channels would be at all useful.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
if i know i’m gonna be stuck w at&t for the next few years anyways, is it worth it to take that 2 yr extension?
Super Rodgers Bros.
#20
If you're going to be with them anyway, then you might as well re-sign and get a cheap phone.
You may also consider getting a Microcell if you have cell troubles in your home.
If you have a lot of problems at home and complain enough, some people have been lucky enough to be gifted one of they’re loyal customers. YMMV.
well, i’m in a family plan with my family (obviously). i’m pretty sure they have no plans of changing carriers, so would it be cost-effective to use the upgrade/extension to get the captivate for $50 at radioshack?
Super Rodgers Bros.
#20
Assuming it doesn't affect the other family members' ability to upgrade for cheap, I presume so
But I haven’t done much with the family plans, other than changing out all phones at the same time.
With family plans on ATT
Each line is pretty independent as far as upgrading goes.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Cool. I've never really bothered, so that's good to know.
Does it re-up every family member for two more years when one person upgrades their phone?
When one line extends, it only extends to that line
Which is good, except it leads to the problem I’m currently having, where my family plan has multiple contract end dates. If my wife and I want to change carriers when our iphone contracts are up, we’ll either have to wait 6 extra months or convert my grandmother’s line to a single line plan.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Yes, I kind of hosed myself
I mentioned it somewhere else in this discussion. I’m trying to sneak out of the end of her contract, since her phone, which is hardly ever used, just died.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
If you know you're stuck with them anyway
No reason to avoid an extension.
I’ve had fewer complaints with ATT this go around than any carrier I’ve had in the past. My single big complaint is that I can’t get phone/text or data service at the Rose Garden. This is an especially bothersome issue now that we have a babysitter watching the little guy while we’re at games. The last few games I’ve actually been getting a wifi signal to work decently, but that’s less important than getting phone/text signal.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
the best way to get out of them is to watch online for updates in your plan. Like if they change the cost of text messaging or raise the taxes and stuff like that, you can get out of your contract free ‘cause they’ve changed the binding agreement. I was gonna do that with tmobile when they raised text messaging prices but wasn’t fast enough, and now I won’t be able to use that excuse if they do it again because I have unlimited messages.

I suspect the markets for Android and Win7 will still mature and catch up to the iphone
If they reach enough market share.
Though some app writers complain about Android users (and maybe Win7 too soon?), because they’re not as willing to pay 1 or 2 dollars for random apps 30 times a month. iPhone users reportedly are willing to, well, waste money on random apps more. Choose whatever correlation you like from that.
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that they eliminated Verizon early on.
I was even the one who originally posted it.
Yeah, it's why they get next to no iPhone switchers and only cannibalize other manufacturers
Right now basically everyone who isn’t happy with his phone on AT&T is just waiting until the Windows7 and iPhone come to Verizon. Which according to the WSJ and me seeing Verizon’s hiring records for call center reps should indeed be next year.

There’s an area at school that’s really poorly lighted at night, and they’re doing some construction work around there. Stepped on the edge and foot slipped. It’s about the seventh time I’ve sprained this same ankle.
I have some balance exercises for you, my friend
I sprained my left ankle half dozen or so in as many years. Then I got a job at a physical therapy office. They had me do some balance work to retrain the proprioceptors, and I haven’t sprained it since (almost 10 years).
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
Ankle sprains tend to heal slowly and incompletely. Part of the reason is that the tissues that tear in a sprain have very poor blood supply, so regeneration is slow. Another less talked about problem is that your proprioceptors (the nerves that essentially sense where your foot is in relation to the ground) get thrown off. That keeps your brain from being able to react as quickly when you step on something crooked. That causes you to re-sprain your ankle.
Doing simple balance exercises will retrain your proprioceptors, and you’ll be less likely to get another sprain. A minute or so per ankle per day is all it takes. There are several stages, and you may be able to skip some, depending on how good or bad your balance is. Try the first, if it’s easy, move down the list until it’s challenging to do for a minute. Eventually you’ll just be doing number 8.
1. Stand on 1 foot
2. Stand on 1 foot with your eyes closed
3. Stand on 1 foot and slowly move your other leg forward and backward, then side to side
4. 3, with your eyes closed
5. Stand on 1 foot on a pillow
6. Stand on 1 foot on a pillow with your eyes closed
7. 3 on a pillow
8. 7 with your eyes closed

My screen name's history:
I started posting on a Blazer forum in 2000. I was living in Pasadena at the time, so I took the moniker of “So Cal Blazer Fan”. When I moved to Las Vegas in 2004, I changed my online name. Some suggested that I call myself “Sin City Blazer Fan”, but instead I took the name of “Storyteller”. Here’s why:
Many of my friends laugh at my propensity to tell a story about nearly anything that they say. I’ve been known as the storyteller of my circle of long-term friends for many, many years. Those of you who see any of my posts here in JD can attest to this – I so often start a post with “that reminds me of a time when……”
oh yeah, I used to be the same way. Over time I just started telling less stories cause I realized I don't like most people and got sick of entertaining them
well and so many of my stories cause uncontrollable sobbing…

Am I the only the only guy who likes athletes with whom he can ostensibly relate to in one way or another?
I like Greg Oden ‘cause he drinks and is aloof, I like ex-NFLer and ESPN college football analyst Robert Smith ’cause he’s an atheist, I enjoyed Rasheed Wallace due to his outbursts of anger and blunt honesty, et cetera.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
I don't ever think about relating to athletes on a personal level. I guess I like them based on how much heart they show, and whether or not they're a jerk, and even with that one, it kind of depends on which side they're on.
I both love and abhor the drama that’s created in sports and by the various personalities involved. I don’t care about stats as much as I do the human element of the player, the emotion and reactions. I really romanticize sports sometimes and compare it to much larger and more important aspects of life, but like I said, I don’t consider them in terms of myself.

Yeah, T.D., I assume this is how most sports fans feel about athletes.
For me, though, I put an odd emphasis on the relatability factor when rooting for an athlete.
That may make me seem somewhat self-involved in an externalized manner, but whatever.

All kidding aside, I do think height plays a role in some NBA players getting love from fans.
For example, Allen Iverson was widely popular with fans due to being a six-foot guy in a game played by relative giants.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
I think AI’s willingness to sell his body out for the win helped as well. I don’t think Earl Boykins, for example, has much of a cult following
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
At 5'5", Earl Boykins is below average in height. Boykins sucks, too, which doesn't help him.
Anyhow, it seems that Nate Robinson is fairly popular — particularly compared to his production — as was Spudd Webb back in the day..
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
I don't like Nate Robinson, either.
Yet, a lot of people embrace the dude.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
yeah, you nailed it for me with AI…i really liked Kevin Johnson growing up and also, not embarrass to admit that i was a huge Isiah Thomas fan

He was a truly amazing player, it’s just been forgotten because he is a horrendous businessman.

Yeah, he was small and fearless and put up big numbers.
I never really liked him, UNTIL that 2004 (or so?) Olympics that Larry Brown coached, and Iverson didn’t play well but he played HARD. That team was so so so so awful, I’d stay up to watch the games, and everyone sucked and Wade (back then a PG) and Lebron hardly played.
But Iverson really seemed to care, so I really respected him a lot more after that. Still wouldn’t want him on my team, but… yeah.

He's not Mugsy or Boykins, but for a guy who played a lot of SG he was really small and light by NBA standards

He already did good in the third with a TD pass. The first half had me a bit worried with only about 0.2 points thanks to nothing going and an interception.
Some of the calls against them were pretty bad, like a “double face mask” that was called against the defender although both really grabbed it, and the push-off on that last TD play.
That push off should have been called, but I think the defender hurt his chances of getting the call when he acted instead of staying on his feet and attempting to continue coverage. The refs don’t like to reward players looking for calls, especially in crunch time. Major difference from the NBA :)

Because Nate’s iso-heavy crunch time offense would work much better through him than Brandon, it led the Cavs’ weak supporting cast to multiple 60+ win seasons. But Wade is just as right of an answer for similar reasons, and like you say, he is a natural SG

NBA owners, you are dealing yourself poor cards in those CBA negotiations
Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reports the league is forecasting a 3 to 3.5 percent increase in basketball-related income.

Of course, no matter what, the owners hold most/all of the cards once the lockout begins, although there are diminishing returns on these cards because a canceled season benefits nobody (except maybe the NHL)
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
I’m sure there are some owners who wouldn’t mind a long lockout, but others who very much would. It’s not like all owners will agree on everything to get their points pushed through. Especially the well-off teams and the teams with aging stars want their chance at a championship.
That's going to be the interesting thing about these negotiations (and the NFL's as well)
Neither side is united in what they want, although I think the players will be more united than the owners, who have a lot of compromising to do before they can be unified at the negotiating table. The fuuny thing is that despite its history of labor strife and owner contentions, the MLB might have the most unified owners in major American sports
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
While increasing revenue is always a good thing
The owners seem to be gigging themselves into a hole. The FA signings over the summer were absurd.
The only way the owners get any sympathy from fans on this issue is of there is a promise made to decrease the cost of tickets. Nothing but crickets on that front.

Although if he gets caught accepting money from Auburn I will be shocked, I think both parties are too smart to get caught on that front. The cheating stuff has legs, though, and is mucuh more serious IMO. Players have been getting paid for decades, but he allegedly stole intellectual property and cheated again after he had been caught cheating. That kind of stuff flat-out doesn’t fly at any self-respecting university (or even community college) in the nation.

It's interesting that he says his body isn't necessarily breaking down...
And that he goes through things with the knee at the beginning of every season. All of this knowledge would have been very handy background info when reading Quick’s info.
A lot of it does. Some of it sounds a bit concerned, but that’s not surprising for a guy who had his knees operated about 5 times and then experiences renewed and additional swelling. His self-assessment sounds realistic about what he still can and unfortunately probably won’t be able to do long term.
I agree.
I think that he’ll be able to do a lot of the same stuff, but we’ll have to keep a closer eye on his minutes and overall fatigue during tough stretches of the schedule.
The visit to California for Roy was likely nothing more than just a second opinion on why the recurring swelling has been happening.
I wasn’t too concerned before and after reading this, I’m even less concerned.

I was thinking about trading for Bradshaw to balance out if the Giants run more, but Prez seems intent on beating me this week so I didn't try.
And I like that Jackson is reliable. He has no breakouts, but he’s always good for 10+ points.
Anyone else think that story about the cruise passengers being stuck is funny?
i find it hilarious for some reason…i just hate cruises and the point of them in general

Your hatred for cruises is justified. I have been on 2 with my extended family. Terrible.

my boss went on a cruise once, it was an Alaskan cruise.
When he and his wife got to the boat, they were shown their quarters, last level above the crew and at the back of the boat. Every moment in the room was spent listening to a the chug, chug, chug of the engine. Two days in, the ship had to divert course to aid a sinking vessel, so instead of exploring fjord’s and whale-watching, they went out and rescued a bunch of smelly fishermen, and the cruise company didn’t offer any kind of refund for the diversion.
This funny? Yeah, it’s kind of funny. I’d be pissed if I were a passenger though.

i went on a “b” cruise in Greece as a student…basically, slept by the pool since i couldn’t afford a room…but it was awesome experience with other students.
other than that, the cabin looked stuffy and people didn’t want to leave the boat to go to the greek island…WHUCK???
and then having family talk about cruises and what they can do on a big ship …while not doing anything else boggles my mind
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Not really, it's like stuck on an airport with nothing to do and it's cold or hot and stinks.
Travel problems are never fun, since either you are supposed to go somewhere quickly or it’s your holiday and you just want to relax. Both a bad kind of stress.
ok ok, if you put it that way…but being on a plane is not the destination, it’s just the transport method
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Depends on how often you use that transport method. When I went to elementary school my mom used to take a ferry over a lake every day, 20-30 minutes each way. Most people on that ferry are tourists, for her it was just commuting in a relaxing way. When you rarely fly, it’s a completely different feeling than for a frequent flier. A trucker has a different relation to the road than someone who makes a long road trip as part of the holiday. And so on.
I think so.
I think it’s amusing to consider what the scene on the cruise would be like if they were stuck on that cruise for as long as the Chilean miners were trapped underground.
there's 4500 people on that boat.
It would devolve into cannabalistic rape within a month.

i like to admit that i'm a loser in the Miami Heat prediction pool
i had them breaking the regular season record…but it doesn’t look like that will happen because of pansy bosh, and d-wade standing in the corner.
the lakers however, have a shot with Pau being so dang good…with a renewed bench to boot
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
That was a different time, with a lot of bottom dweller teams that were easy to beat. And the Bulls were ridiculously hot.
Maybe Miami will still find its groove over the next few seasons, but I never expected them to crack 70 wins this year.
I'm baffled at Chris Bosh' uninspired play.

There’s a small groundswell of support for renaming the stadium, which is interesting, because it shows how much everyone liked him.

2TB hard drives? how much and where?
i like sticking with 1 TB drives…don’t want to have a 2 TB drive crash on me. do you connect all your hard drives to a home network backup storage?
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Newegg was offering 2TB hard drives for 79.99 last weekend.
And yep, I have a back-end storage server on the network, and any really sensitive stuff like pictures or personal data also have an off-site backup location.
i was thinking about putting one in my house…
is there really a shelf life for these hard drives? i mean, it’s now more important to know that since pictures are so digital
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Hard drives are such luck of the draw
If you look at hard drive reviews, all of them are the same: “This hard drive is great!” or “This hard drive died on me!”, and basically you’re just looking for the one with the highest percentage of positive reviews, and hope for the best.
It’s definitely worth having a redundant copy of your data, if it’s something you don’t want to deal with losing. And if it’s pictures and sensitive stuff, an offsite source is a must. Give an encrypted hard drive to a family member to store, or if you have a safe deposit box, put one in there. If your connection is fast enough, and the amount of data isn’t insane, use an online backup site.
Usually with externals, though
it’s something that get’s messed up with the enclosure and not the actual drive. And enclosures are cheap; whenever I have a drive die, I pop it in a new enclosure and that’s usually good.
Yep I'm all about buying a separate external enclosure
Makes it easy to upgrade the drive whenever I wish as well.
For the most part, I’d just keep a bare drive off site, not inside an external. Personal preference, I can always use the external for other needs.
Though my current external enclosure is this one, which is really handy (I can swap drives easily). I plan to upgrade to the USB 3.0 version later.
the enclosure of the WD that I bought broke.
very frustrating.
by Cablinasian on Nov 11, 2010 11:14 PM PST up reply actions
Yep. It's such a pain.
It’s nearly always better (and often cheaper over the long term) to buy an enclosure separately from the drive.
can I buy an enclosure for the drive I have now?
by Cablinasian on Nov 11, 2010 11:18 PM PST up reply actions
Should be simple
if it’s not a RAID. Unscrew the enclosure and check to see if there are one or two 3.5" drives in there. If there are two, I’m not sure how to proceed…
it's just one drive.
I’ve taken it apart before, just slides right out.
by Cablinasian on Nov 11, 2010 11:22 PM PST up reply actions
Very likely. They normally use standard connectors.
Do you have the drive out? Is it a SATA drive or an IDE drive?
Here’s a picture, SATA is on the top, IDE on the bottom. From there, it’s a matter of buying the enclosure that fits it.
don't have it handy at the moment.

Will Favre return to play in 2011?
“No,” said Favre, in an interview that will air in its entirety on Sunday on the NFL Network.
ESPN. Why is this news? Because Favre normally avoids answering this question and the media keeps saying he’s about to retire.
Every great QB seems to retire one season too late. But it seems like they have to know how long they can go.
good for him. I’m 100% certain he’ll actually give it up this time, he’s been struggling both with his team losing and getting beat up more than usual. and I think there’s a possibility he’ll return to the NFL as an analyst within a year or two
