Too cloudy in California last night to see the Eclipse.
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"- Dirty Harry
It was actually chill
I just laid a blanket down on my roof and while the clouds would completely cover it occasionally, I was still able to watch the entire progression.

There’s a new Portland SB Nation blog. Welcome the Stumptown Footy.
Hello there Timbers fans, or other general MLS/soccer fan. As you can probably tell, this is SB Nation’s newest sports blog focused on the brand new MLS side: the Portland Timbers. It’s been a long time coming, but as the Timbers ascend from the D2 in the US to the top flight league, we are embarking on a new era in our history, probably the biggest one yet. Think of this blog as a categorical timeline following all of the events, big and small, with an added dose of wily opinion and humor, of course.

Here’s some Wilde quotes on the matter of men and women:
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.
Men always want to be a woman’s first love – women like to be a man’s last romance.

This is the idea I extracted from the mods discussing it last night.
Several JDers would be talking familiarly and friendlyly to one another about the Blazer game in the front page recap post. Non-JDers would see this and the JDers would seek to be inclusive in their JD-esque familiar discussion. Theoretically, this would somehow lead to non-JDers potentially seeing the JD as a more reasonable place to have off-topic conversation and keep the community aspect of BEdge alive.
I think.
She'll be right.
i will post on a front page just for you idol, today, maybe.

Indeed we've requested Blazer talk in Blazer threads
As well, if you guys think stuff is over the line (personal attack, objectionable), please flag it.
Dave requested Blazer talk to go outside of the JD a while back, but we’ve been lax about it. As part of Dave’s recent post, we’re also re-enforcing his previous requests.
That just sucks. I mean that really sucks. I'm very disappointed in whomever thought this idea up.

I've never emailed Dave, but i'm considering it on this topic.
I don’t see any problem with casual Blazer talk in here. And i’d rather not have to worry about breaking site policy.
by hoodieNation on Dec 21, 2010 11:40 AM PST up reply actions
Casual talk tends to turn into in-depth talk
On gamedays, postgame, about any news stories, etc.
I mentioned last night that some of the more interesting topics started in here could have made great fanposts too. We could use a few more of those.
We’re not banning the word “Blazers” in the JD or anything. Just trying to give a push for the conversation to go in the right direction. This is intended as the OT part of the site and all.
Is there concern that there isn't enough content in the fanposts??
I think more fanposts are posted on BE per day than on any other SBN site
We'd like to make sure we keep high quality fanposts
And the JD folks could do some stuff to basically set the standard, considering the amount of outstanding analysis in here.
If you expect high quality fan posts, then delete ...
the fan posts that are of poor quality. That, however, is independent of the main page or even the JD.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
if you delete all the poor post then we'd have hailstorm of complaints about the mods
by hoodieNation on Dec 21, 2010 11:53 AM PST up reply actions
That's true, which is why I wouldn't flag ...
such fan posts. Personally, my choice is to ignore those that I don’t feel are up to snuff.
Yet, with regards to those that don’t meet my admittedly high standards, I still believe that they’ve got a place in this big tent here.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
yes,
they are called comments

by The Arkitect on Dec 21, 2010 3:21 PM PST up reply actions
It would help if people flag fanposts they find to be poor quality.
Hoodie also noted we’ll keep a light touch on fanposts in general, but would like to know the ones people are most unhappy with.
I generally don't find it's my place to tell the mods
what is interesting or uninteresting analysis. There are few fanposts that are blatantly against site rules and those that are are taken down quickly. I don’t ever wade through the fanposts because, honestly, I just don’t care to seek out Blazers talk with people that only want to talk about the Blazers. On the otherhand, I’ll happily talk about the Blazers when a subject comes up organically in a general basketball conversation (the likes of which we often have here).
So we are being asked to not do what we want to do so JD'ers will make more fanposts?
Why not just ask us to make more fanposts? I’m sure people would answer the call.
Always intense.
by dario argento on Dec 21, 2010 11:52 AM PST up reply actions
Well it's not the goal to force you guys to do fanposts or formally ask
Just asking for Blazer talk to stick in non-OT threads. If that leads to fanposts or fanshots, great, but if not, no problem too.
If I was going to e-mail Dave something.
It would be that as wise as the idea of taking issues to an email makes sense, this needs to be a public thing because people keep not knowing the rules on this issue.
She'll be right.
perhaps that's because some issues shouldn't have rules or be issues.

by hoodieNation on Dec 21, 2010 11:51 AM PST up reply actions
No, I think people grasp "the rules on this issue."
Instead, there’s heavy backlash from some folks to the rules themselves.
Even over at the main page, some of the folks who I consider top commenters (e.g., Royster) question the change in direction on that part of Blazersedge — which has mostly to do with the tone of posters — and that indicates to me there might be a widening disconnect between the content provider, Dave, and his appointed mods v. the commenters.
As I said, though, I’ll be interested to see how it all plays out in the long run—good, bad, or otherwise.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
There's that too.
It just seems that the proper forum for any of this discussion would be in an chat thread with Dave on this topic which hasn’t really ever happened. .?
I am curious to see how it goes. The thing is that changes were already brewing do to the increase in size of this place, and we lose people all the time. These rule “changes” (reaffirmations?) reflect Dave’s desire to utilize the structures already in place in an effort to see if they can handle the increased number of commenters.
She'll be right.
I assume Dave will do an open chat about ...
this at some point. For me, it isn’t a big deal — since I partake in both the main page and the JD, as well as can at least try to adhere to the changes (e.g., nicer tone in main page threads, treat JD as strictly an off-topic forum, et cetera) — yet, it’ll be hard on some folks.
At the main page, the focus on a nicer tone will likely affect the newcomers the most — especially since that’s where the flood of newcomers has settled for the most part — yet, the changes here will likely affect some long-time posters.
In an odd way, this feels like the opposite of the disasterous baseball brouhaha from a few months ago. It was then that an off-topic discussions was lambasted by some folks — which seemed ridiculous in light of the JD being an off-topic thread — and that led to a couple folks on both sides of that argument choosing to leave.
Also, I doubt expecting th JD-centric posters to venture into the main page or fan posts will lead to a nicer, more analytically based discussion across the whole site.
In all likelihood, those folks who are already crossover posters — such as myself — will continue to be that, while JD-centric posters may very well decide to not make the wanted adjustedments and fold up shop.
While the goal seems noble — with non-JD posters and JD-centric posters becoming crossover posters who live in harmony — I don’t think it’s practical and, well, it reminds me of Kevin Pritchard’s inability as a GM to understand roster balance when he jammed square pegs into round holes.

Well said.
There is a reason that the order of natural systems emerges from the bottom up. Distinct, central authority tends to get insulated and loses touch with the systems they are trying to govern.
She'll be right.
Did Dave instill some new rules?
I’ve always been under the impression that we just don’t cuss and don’t attack other posters.
I’ve missed it if there are any other rules being set. Any and all recaps of the rules from Dave have always come off the same for me.
by hoodieNation on Dec 21, 2010 12:04 PM PST up reply actions
The closest Dave came to a new rule was the "Blogabull rule" he mentioned
He really just reiterated the existing rules, in reality.
I read this and I compute
That we need to break out the ol’ “this should be a fanpost” meme for JD comments.
She'll be right.
I do understand the reasoning... maybe i'm just being lazy.
I don’t like having several tabs open and trying to juggle different convos. The JD totally solved that for me. And in general I don’t have a ton to talk about just concerning the Blazers, so it’s nice to be able to bounce around.

I will. I'm not trying to be a troublemaker timmay, but to me this a whole new level of control that is being attempted.
“You’re free to talk about basketball on this basketball blog, but only where we tell you to.” I’m just very disappointed in that notion.
Alright, I’ll be a good little boy, say “yes sir. Thank you sir may I have another?” But I won’t like it, and this site will not like what I have to say in the main page posts. The trolls out there are turning me more nasty by the day.
If this rule keeps up I will be visiting Blazer Sedge less often, as I enjoy the fast, free-flowing basketball discussion that occur in the JD with this community we’ve developed. I enjoy the different personalities in here and evolving opinions on players by people. I feel like we are losing that.
The JD to me, feels like something that thrives with spontaneity, a place where (as long as appropriate) anything goes. The best JD’s happen organically. Half of the talk in here is about the Blazers.

"You’re free to talk about basketball on this basketball blog, but only where we tell you to." I’m just very disappointed in that notion.
Well, the entire reason for the creation of the JD was because OT comments were all over the site. This was the OT repository. People just got to know each other and started moving Blazer talk over here that used to be elsewhere.
What the JD was originally created for and what it has become are two different things though.
If you tell people they can’t talk about Blazer related stuff where is the line drawn? Can people talk about fantasy basketball? The draft? Potential trades?
I see the reasoning behind this Timmay, I just think it is fundamentally wrong. I understand you probably have to tow the company line here and back Dave up regardless, I’m just frustrated. Talking basketball in the JD is probably my favorite thing about this entire site, and the reason I spend so much time here, and now I’m being told I can’t do it anymore.
Always intense.
by dario argento on Dec 21, 2010 12:02 PM PST up reply actions
Definitely give Dave a note about how you feel. He's expecting that and it's cool.
I don’t see any reason fantasy talk would be an issue. I mean, we have fantasy leagues in the JD. And like I said, we’re not banning the word “Blazers” or anything, just trying to move most of the insightful stuff back into the site overall.
(I’m headed out and won’t be answering for a while, just a heads up)
With comments like these (and sammy's down there).
I cannot help but feel like the JD has grown as an entity into something that is beyond the scope of BEdge.
She'll be right.
I'd always considered it a subsection of the site,
somewhat removed from the rest of it. These ‘communities within the community’ often pop up in internet forums with large populations.
Yeah, that's why I think of the 90-9-1 principle.
90% of the folks who come to Blazersedge are just readers, 9% of the folks who come to Blazersedge post in the main page and fan posts, and 1% of the folks who come to Blazersedge participate in the JD subculture.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
I don't think it's beyond the scope of BE.
I honestly wouldn’t go to a random chat room just to talk to current JD’rs (even though I love you guys) if it wasn’t Blazer’s related. Its the common ground that we all have. Taking it out of the JD just makes this a chat room. I have no real problem going to and commenting in FanPosts, but they never really become free flowing to me as I always feel like my comments have to be on topic all the time.
The JD needs the Blazers in it.
by hoodieNation on Dec 21, 2010 12:12 PM PST up reply actions
I totally agree with this
I comment outside of the JD but I don’t want to be forced to take all Blazer talk out there. The experiences are different and they’re likely to stay that way.
Interesting.
I always considered the JD more like a well or free forum where one didn’t feel constrained to stay on topic. Poo-poo-ing basketball talk in the JD seems antithetical to the nature of having a place on the site where the conversation is supposed to flow freely.
I agree. Completely. The JD should be organic and free to flow where ever it leads as long as appropriate.

"And this bird you can not change!!!"
Maybe so, but they could always shoot it down.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Yeah, I'm worried that not having an area where we can talk about the team on general
as opposed to discussing individual aspects of the team, could lead to diminished discussion overall. Like I posted yesterday, if I have to take any comment about the team somewhere else, I probably just won’t hang out that much. And I don’t relegate all of my activity with this site to the JD either. I engage in GDT’s and post outside of here all the time, but even with that it’s not like all the fanposts are places to have ongoing discussions like the JD. Maybe it’ll be okay, but to me it seems to limit my interaction with the site overall. I should stop now, I’m sure I’m trying Timmay’s patience with my ongoing “gripes”.

#52--------I believe in Greg Oden
This is the dumbest thing I've read in awhile, which is why I question the acumen of employed NBA scouts.
“People always talk about defense, but I think (the Magic are) going to score the ball more. They’re going to have more offensive possessions, which is less time defending.”
http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/12/21/nba-scouts-magic-trade-arenas-turkoglu-richardson/
In reality, playing at a faster pace for more offensive possessions leads to more defensive possessions going the other way.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Yeah, I can't believe that guy is employed by a NBA team.

Their account systems got hacked, and over a million username/passwords leaked
They were encrypted, but with a poor encryption algorithm so many of them are quickly broken.
Do a search for gawker hack real quick and there’s tons of fun reading, including the Gawker guys originally not worrying about it because it only affected “the peasants” on the site. Turned out, the people who run the site got hit too.
I thought of Gawker the other day regarding the change in rules here.
Yet, if I recall correctly, the purge that went down about a year ago at Gawker — which involved commenter house cleaning and the somewhat elitist star commenting system — was more poorly received there than the slight changes here. Though, I do expect that the changes here will produce some casualties. I’m very curious as to how it plays out, too.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
We're not looking to do any major housecleaning
Dave honestly just re-affirmed the rules he’s used for years. We’re not making any wholesale changes. It was only a couple months ago that Dave posted his own JD, asking for folks to not call out other users, and to take Blazer conversations to the rest of the site.
We’re really not implementing any new rules.
Right, what happened at Gawker was an enormous overhaul. I was never a commenter at any ...
of their sites, either, but was captivated by the comment section at Deadspin when it all played out at the time.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
I remember it well too.
I don’t see any sign at all (and I see private mod mails) that Dave has any intent on a major overhaul here. Quite the opposite. He’s just trying to make sure the existing rules are re-established since things went nutso after the crazy start to the season.
I’m as guilty of talking Blazers in the JD as you guys. So I’m adjusting as well.
Yeah, I also recall that some of the lower-level mods at the Gawker sites were incognito.
That isn’t the case here, for there’s transparency in who’s the figurative manager (i.e., Dave) and who are his assistant managers (i.e., the mods). The commenters are similar to the grunts working the department stoor floor, with corporate being the folks running SB Nation.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
The Gawker breach served one good purpose for me
It inspired me to start using LastPass. I had been using similar, slightly modified passwords for a lot of sites. Now I’ve changed a number of passwords, and I don’t have to remember them.

honestly, I’d be fine with the main page open-Blazers thread. It’d be good for the JDers to move to the frontpage a bit.
I actually agree on that one.
I’d also like to see an end to people knocking others for having an off-topic discussion in an off-topic forum. The anti-baseball brouhaha comes to mind, which is why I easily sided with you over Tinfoil in that quarrel.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
yeah, I’m not proud of the way on went off on Tin, but the more I think about it the less sympathy I have for the anti-baseball-in-the-jd argument.
Unfortunately, I think that was a case in which the ...
mods — even if it was just Tim and Cabby — should’ve stepped in here and laid down the law before everything derailed and people turned on one another personally.
The anti-baseball anti-football contingent never had a leg to stand on, since the whole point of having an off-topic thread is to create a forum wherein everything is fair game.
Heck, the reasonable solution for someone regarding a subthread that doesn’t interest them is to just skip by it.
I mean, shoot, you’ll never see me comment in the tech-based subthreads — since I don’t care about stuff such as the Mac v. PC debate — yet, a lot of people like those discussions, so more power to them.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
I think that over-simplifies it
But re-hashing that debate will do no good whatsoever.
Making comments about how ridiculous one side of the debate was is likely to bring those people back out of the woodwork, so I’d suggest leave it right alone – permanently.
That is the best way forward if they really want the JD people to mix with the FP
Create a new venue that both can use and see how it works out.

And On the Rocks got hosed.

I think they set the bar really high with This Love on the first show and didn’t really meet that level the rest of the way, but they were deserving of the title.
So many entendres. So little time.
The lead singer of Street Corner was sooooo annoying to watch
the dumb colored glasses matching the clothes, whatever he was doing with his legs when he was singing….just annoying to watch.
On the Rocks was really cool. I am actually surprised they lasted as long as they did, since it seemed like the judges had no idea what to think of them.
"Roybot can do whatever she wishes on this site. She’s on the V.I.P. lounge list." -Dave
Totally with you there on the legs
It looked like he was having a seizure sometimes. I think OtR was hurt partially by the judges and partially because it felt like the Backbeats had a free pass to the finals from the beginning, and no matter what they did they would move on. I never got into them, they were way too serious and even on their fun songs it looked like they were trying way too hard. “Look at us, we can have fun too! No really, look! We’re spontaneous!”
So many entendres. So little time.
lol, I had no idea what I had said when I read your subject line.
I agree with the Backbeats. When the judges picked the songs, it wasn’t really fair cause they clearly said they picked a song that was right up the Backbeats alley. For the other groups they were like, “This song is gonna be tough cause it’s out of their comfort zone.”
It was like they were pretending to be serious. The girl that usually sang the lead constantly had the sad puppy dog eyes going on.

I would hate to ever be in position where you had to spout company line and rhetoric to keep your job. I’d last one day. Maybe.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I agree with this
Lots of discussion about one of them getting the 6th (?) forward spot, just because of the monster seasons they are having.
Also I don't see a rookie getting an All-star nod
Which is why I say Love.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Love should be an allstar IMO but won’t because of his team’s record. Griffin is deserving of consideration but there are 5-6 forwards ahead of him.
Who has a better TS%?
Love is poor from the field but Griffin is awful from the line. It’s an interesting debate IMO.
I do
But you have to give it to Love. It’s clear by the stats he should be in over Griffin, but it is close. A couple of big weeks from Blake and the tables may turn.
Blake is a long way from averaging 15 rpg
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
Love is a better rebounder
Griffin is a better finisher
Love is a better shooter
Griffin is a better defender
Love is better from the line
Griffin is a better passer
There is an argument both ways.
I take issue with the last one
Kevin Love is the best outlet passer in the NBA
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
Lower assist%
Love is great but Griffin has incredible court vision.
Also, you have to take pace into account when you consider Love’s rebounding total (Timberwolves play at the fastest pace in the league). Love’s TRB% is still 4 points higher, but that difference isn’t as large as the one between their passing %s.
His TRB% is the higest in the NBA since Dennis Rodman. This is a pretty big deal
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
It certainly is
Griffin might be the best rookie since LeBron – that is also a big deal. A 20TRB% and a 17AST% is ridiculous.
These are two historic and unique players
They're both subpar defenders, so that's a wash.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Love is physically inept, Griffin is just misguided
Love has an awful defensive on/off (although not Al level, which was an eye opener [though other defensive metrics still think he is OK])
Can’t get into Griffins on/off right now. Gimme 5.
tough question— Yao is leading the voting, but he won’t play obviously. That could lead to Duncan being the starting C (or Pau) and opening a 6th forward spot.
In my opinion, the only player listed as a C on the ballot who is deserving of an allstar bid is Nene.
Usually yes
I mean they replaced Roy with Kaman last year, not even close to the same position.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The coach, likely Pop, will get to choose a starter while Stern will get to choose the guy who replaces him on the roster.
The coaches are supposed to vote for 2 reserve guards, 2 reserve forwards, one reserve C and 2 wildcards.
Here’s what I expect will happen:
- Kobe, Paul, Durant, Gasol and Yao voted as starters
- DWill, Westbrook, Nowitzki, Duncan, Ginobili, Anthony and one other (could be e.g. Nene, Nash, Love, Griffin… lots of possibilities) selected by the coaches
- Pop announces Duncan as the starter to replace Yao
- Stern places Griffin on the team if he isn’t already (game is at Staples, Griffin is popular, etc.)
- Love gets hosed
what name comes after Kobe?

by The Arkitect on Dec 21, 2010 3:41 PM PST up reply actions
Griffin may not be more deserving than Love statistically,
but he absolutely should be in the All Star Game. The game is a showcase for the league, and no one is more exciting to watch in the league than Blake.
I guess I shouldn’t treat Melo as a lock— if he doesn’t get voted in by the fans, the coaches may not put him on the team. That maybe opens up another spot.
I don’t see Aldridge on your list

Guess the movie from the reviews:
Is there a statute of limitations for how many good actors can be wasted in a bad movie?
Worse than awful.
Other things it’s lacking include laughs, coherence, and a reason to exist
I once saw a high school production of ‘Grease’ where they had some technical difficulties and had to stall for time, so the director sent the main actors onstage, in character, to improvise a scene. [This movie] feels like 100 minutes of that.
I wouldn't have gone near it for almost anything, anyway. this confirms my hunch.
I hated the first one, did not see the second one, and cringed at the idea of a third.

Second one was pretty good but yeah a third ones is too much.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I know lots of people who loved the first one.
I just can’t take those formulaic “unnerving” movies where the whole point is to make you so uncomfortable via the neurotic habits of the characters that your skin starts to crawl with agitation … not humor, mind you, but just rage that you paid good money to watch people have idiotic hangups that you yourself could experience at any moment of any day.
Burn down something important accidentally. Yeah, no sweat.
Will be in Oregon late Dec-early Jan.
http://year5000.bandcamp.com
I remember watching the first one on DVD
Everyone said it was amazing. I kept waiting for “the funny” to start… eventually I just got to the credits instead.
I wondered if this was one of those movies, like others from that time period (American Pie, Something About Mary, I’m also sure there are modern examples I’m forgetting) which ends up being more fondly remembered by those who saw it in a laughing theater than if you see it at home in front of a smaller group or alone.
i saw it in the theater and wanted to walk out.
Another of those, where the whole theater was roaring and I wanted to sleep/cry/wretch was Austin Powers 2. Barf. What a waste of time/money/space.

NYC at X-mas is a wreck of shopping nonsense. People everywhere. no one can drive. Cops don’t protect pedestrians.
The city is full of vomit and grossness anyway, but now it’s slightly iced over and trod on by tourists.
hooray, USA!

I’ve seen more vomit on sidewalks since I moved back to Portland than I ever saw, well, I never saw vomit on the sidewalk anywhere else.
our first week in Hong Kong we happened upon a massiv pile of wretch on the sidewalk ...
… the cute thing was, someone had marked it with an orange traffic cone.
I love that city.

Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
you don't !
One year we were wondering about three blocks from the tree lighting and thought, hmmm, here’s something we’ve never done. What the heck. We started wandering toward it and got about 500 meters away when the crush set in. Suddenly it was front row at a 1964 Beatles concert and Elvis just made a surprise appearance. We got the heck outta there ASAP.
I did cruise by a few days later, once the horde thinned out and, yeah, it was kinda pretty. But give me a barren wooded snowy hillside in eastern Oregon anyday as far as x-mas goodness goes..

I've been in NYC twice on new Year's eve
Both times stayed about 20 blocks (north) from Times Square and the crowds were backed up almost to there both times.
Its crazy and kind of fun but I couldn’t take it for too terribly long.

I love NYC, but there is no way in Zach I would go down to Times Square for new years.
New Yorkers (and transplants like me) avoid that place as much as possible, especially when you know there will be a horde of frozen idiots there.
You know they don’t allow booze down there, right?
I like to celebrate with a toast.
and a kiss.
And not being herded by cops through a cattle baracade while the lady repeats how much she has to pee.

Was go to the fireworks on the lawn of the Capitol on July 4th one year but that was fun because even though you have to show up about 5 hours early, you can bring anything but alcohol in.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I checked with the park rangers at the statue of liberty.
it’s totally legal to picknik out there but illegal to bring any booze.

Too cool.

Tonight I'm having freshly made pasta in a browned butter with sage from my

In the meanwhile brown some butter slowly in a large skillet and throw in some (preferably fresh) or dried herbs at the end. Drain the pasta and toss it with the brown butter and herbs. Add a little cream or milk and sprinkle it with (preferably freshly grated) parmesan, toss again and you’ve got yourself a meal. Cheap and good and filling.

I’ve done a little bit of this before, but this sounds yummy. I wonder how well a non-dairy milk would work in it.

Charlotte announcer just said

except it sounded like
“Green vs. Brown was the battle of the coloreds”
Their guys are not so good
Like their team.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Pretty interesting play in the CHA-OKC game… with Kwame on the line, there was a double lane violation, which led to a jump ball at mid court and Kwame’s made FT being waived off… but Charlotte won the tip.
OKC was in the lane first, so if CHA had stayed out, the FT would have been good, OKC ball and if it missed Kwame would have got a 2nd shot.
As it happened though, CHA won the tip and lost the FT but got an extra possession. If you were a really good offensive team (ie averaging way over 1 point/poss) and you are really confident you could win the tip, that’s actually better for you…
CHA missed the shot though.

hmm, I could see it having some adverse affects. they’re raised ticket prices every year for a few years in a row now and fans are probably frustrated to be paying so much for tickets to see a team that is significantly less than what they expected. but, as usual, Clown doesn’t have to be so hyperbolic about it

Harden’s PER36 for December:
18 points on 44%FG / 44%3PT / 82%FT / 61.8%TS, 4.5 REB, 3.2 AST, 1.6 STL
Here’s hoping my predictions for a bust out sophomore season weren’t premature. He needs more minutes.
Not really a contest for me
unless you expect Roy to stay out for an extended period and for Rudy to keep getting 35+ minutes a night
Roy is out for a while longer and I do short term pick-ups on FBB
Roy has been pretty good the last few, just depends if he stays on a streak. More of an assist/steal threat than Harden and he makes more threes.
Definitely a contest seeing as Harden isn’t getting those minutes.
Just waiting for a trade to go through then I'm gonna pick someone up
Has to be a SG or SG/SF. Thinking about Josh Howard too. Not many options really. You think Brooks will start to give Harden more minutes? If he get around 30 consistently he could be good long term. Sounds like he and Thabo should really switch roles
I doubt a change happens soon.
Brooks loves Thabo. I think Harden keeps getting ~25 mpg unless Harden really forces Brooks’ hand with another few weeks of solid play.
Yeah, in that order.
Gerald Wallace duplicates Shawn Marion.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
They don't need help at the 3/4
They’ve got that pretty well covered between Dirk, Marion, and Butler. DeShawn at starting 2 is a spot you can improve on, though.
They kind of need a shooter in that spot though. He would be good, but I could see Terry playing crunch time ahead of him unless he got better as a spot up shooter
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
Iggy can slide to the 3 in crunch time.
Iggy’s not a good shooter, but he moves very well off the ball, is a great playmaker, great transition scorer, and would bolster the Mavs perimeter defense.
I wouldn't say he "duplicates" Shawn Marion.
He’s twice the player, even though their skills might be slightly similar.
by Nick Van Excellent on Dec 21, 2010 8:45 PM PST up reply actions
Point is,
the marginal difference between Melo and Marion/Butler or Crash and Marion/Butler is far outweighed by the difference between Iggy and Stevenson.
I think you're underrating Crash
Although he has been shooting badly this year. He is miles better than Marion or Butler are at this point in their careers.
I’d be worried about him going forward though. His style of play has already caused a number of injuries and he’s only getting older. Iggy has had no such issues so far
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
Oh I agree Iggy is a damn good fit there
Jason RIchardson would’ve worked too, but this way you can run with Kidd/Terry/Iggy/Dirk/Chandler in crunch time, which is terrifying.
I love Crash,
but I think you’re underrating Butler/Marion. Both are really fine defensive small forwards and are both fairly effective on offense without needing a lot of touches.
I agree with you for the most part
But I think Butler’s ball-stopping counteracts some of his statistical efficiency
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
That's exactly right, sammy.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Iggy takes less shots PER 36 minutes than Batum.
He isn’t going to improve their offense much at all and his defense is not drastically better than Stevenson.

I would say it is. He’s a game-changer on that end
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
Not if they have to throw Chandler in a deal.
That would be a net loss in defense and only a small increase in offense.

I still don't think he's drastically better than Stevenson on defense.

Went to my girls company dinner at Jake's Grill tonight. Had Chicken Oscar. Exacted my revenge on the lady who took my gold coins and stuck me with a starbucks gift card three years ago in the white elephant gift exchange crap-a-palooza.
Her husband’s a lawyer and they live in a nice house, drive a fancy car, have a lawyer son, they’re doing alright. I hate starbucks coffee. She gleefully ripped the twenty bucks out of my hands three years ago. I have been plotting my revenge ever since.
Tonight I was the sixth person out of 17 to pick presents, this due to the only flaw in my plan. I was one question short in the trivia contest of being tied for first place and getting first and last choice, and only because the question was repeated on the quiz twice. If I had got it right once, I would have got it right twice and therefore would have won. Anyways, I went for a small gift. It was a box of See’s chocolates-a high quality product. I knew it was not long for my grasp but that was okay. I only had to wait until the end and hope that someone would be greedy enough to rip my present from my plotting hands.
As expected, the box of See’s didn’t last past the next two people, so it was my choice again, but I was also two people closer to my chosen target. It was my choice again, but luckily there was a package sharing the exact same dimensions with my previous, but fleeting gift. I plucked it from the table. HUZZAHH!! See’s candy again, alas however it was Chocolate covered Peanut Brittle. This would be more challenging than I thought.
Six people passed by, and several had landed the top prize of the night, gift cards to regal cinemas. My girl sat next to me with a bag of Applets and Cotlets, and Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider. She was obviously taking that one home. Tonight the only satisfaction was going to come from someone else’s suffering. But who would take the brittle? And would I be able to rip the gift from the one who did me wrong so long ago.
The choice was her’s, she made her move. Going after the bosses mother, she ripped the Regal Cinema Gift Cards from her, leaving the very sweet, baby boomer, reeling and despondent. I could see the hatred fill my target’s eyes. SHE HAD TAKEN AWAY SOMEONE’S HAPPINESS AGAIN!! Next would be her husband’s turn and they would have the gifts they so desperately wanted but in no way needed except to wreak oppression upon the less fortunate. He asked that everyone show their gifts so he could compare our level of attachment to what lot had been cast for us. This was my last chance, if he didn’t snipe my brittle I likely wouldn’t have a shot at poaching her happiness, and would be left with another memory of a christmas party without the enmity and sweet vengeance that I had waited so long for, replaced with the inadequacy of a botched plan and some filling-destroying burnt sugar. Luckily he took the bait! Surely it was due to my dour look and feigned lack of eye contact as I tried to make myself as small as possible to appear like I was trying to avoid his gaze, but the joke was on him! He opened the door to his wife’s sadness! For in the moment that he ripped my second gift of the night from me, it gave me the choice of any gift that had been opened up to that point.
I called my shot! The gift cards were mine!! But more importantly, as my salivary glands involuntarily pulsed and filled my mouth with dripping spit and froth, I had completed the greatest three year turnaround re-burn in the history of white elephant parties! It didn’t even matter to me if somebody else got the gift from me. The important part was how I inflicted pain on someone who inflicted it on me, and the sullen look on her face gave me all the satisfaction that one could find in the holiday season. That and the minute long stare down by her husband as he sat there, helpless and ineffectual, unable to steal back the moment that she had just lost!
In the end I got a bag of skittles and a Xmas ornament that was covered in glitter, but I got so much more. I got satisfaction. I got so much more than the twenty dollars worth of golden coins, or movie tickets could ever provide. I played the playah!!!!!!!
Sure things might not be looking great right now, but look on the bright side. I have liquor.

I think it could be good so long as things are kept somewhat open to interpretation. A lot of the off beat stuff we talk about in here that is Blazer related should be OK. It’s just the long threads on players/stats/coaches that need to move.
I think it can work.
Neither do I. I emailed Dave this long-winded and articulate piece about what I think makes the JD special, the organic way in which in develops,
the anything goes method by which stuff gets posted and that I think this is doing a disservice to the basketball community on here, and his response was “You can talk about anything you want in the JD, just not the Blazers.”

I go away for 5 days in Vegas, and all hell breaks loose.
First, Magic blows up the team with the mega trade, then my Eagles pull possibly the greatest comeback in history, and LaMarcus turned into LaStudus. I didn’t get to see much of the team, but one of the interesting things the opposing announcers were mentioning Aldridge was killing them on a side pick-and-roll with Dre. This used to be a guy that rolled to a basket twice per season!
Anyway, has he been as dominant as numbers suggested? Perhaps the light switch has finally gone off and truly sees himself as the man on this team?
The cake was a lie.
flag. that giants-eagles game was one of the most devastating things i’ve seen in my life
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
I wish it could have happened to the Cowgirls instead.
But the Giants were the most likely target. We have your # recently, it seems.
The cake was a lie.
indeed, i’m terrified of every match up vs. you guys. this game was just a complete disgrace. giants nation is still struggling with it. we’re slowly going through the five stages of grief and now just hoping like crazy we can pull off a miracle and win in green bay sunday
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Should be do-able. Isn't Rogers going to be out?
I am actually rather fond of the Jersey/A. I remember pulling for them in Superbowl or two. I want to see them make it as a wildcard.
Can’t say I share that same feelings for Dallas and Washington. Just want to see them lose, lose, and lose. So, this year has been excellent to me.
The cake was a lie.
nah, they said today Rogers will be back for that game, which sucks. I liked you guys a whole lot more before this year. I was always a big fan of McNabb even when I really hated you guys for constantly beating us. I very much enjoy Michael Vick’s athletic talent but dislike him for the obvious stuff but also ‘cause I think he’s kind of obnoxious. and DJack proved this weekend that he’s a showboating punk.
it’s funny, before this year the only team I really hated in the NFC East was the cowgirls. Washington hasn’t really been relevant enough for me to care for such a long period of time that I sort of stopped caring and with you guys the rivalry was always fun and, as i said, I have nothing but mad respect for McNabb. This season made Philly skyrocket in my “dislike” rankings.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Jackson does need to tone it down, and I am for choreographed celebration and all.
He did cost us a TD last year and I am afraid that he might cost us one in the playoffs at some of the stuff he pulls.
Vick is starting to convert me, though. I hear too much positive stuff out of the lockerroom to dislike him. It’s always nice to see a redemption story. But yeah, I can’t really blame u for the dislike scale going up, especially after last Sunday.
It’s a shame with what McNabb is going through, but I can’t say it’s really a surprise to me or many of Eagles fans. It did look like he lost his fastball last year to a lot of us, and it’s probably just a continuation of that at this point of his career.
The cake was a lie.
it’s gonna be one or the other. if the Chargers continue to win, Phillip Rivers is going to be prominent in the discussion as well, though.
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
From a glance
Brady is the most efficient, Rivers puts up big numbers yards wise but turns it over the most and Vick is efficient but also runs for 50+ a game.
Tough choice
Vick missed those 3 games, which hurts him I guess
Pats will have the best record (14-2 likely, unless they rest starters), Chargers probably the worst (10-6 at best) with the Eagles likely in the middle (10-6 at worst but likely 11-5 or 12-4).
Will be very interesting. Who do you think should win GB?
Not bad...didn't do much else besides playing poker.
Because it rained most of the time I was there.
The cake was a lie.

Yup...no pool date for me this time around.
I am guessing at the latest, I’ll be out there again May-ish. Bachelor party.
The cake was a lie.
I actually like being out there in Dec. I go every year.
Not as much craziness going around. I like my craziness controlled.
The cake was a lie.
Sure. It's kinda nice to swim around in a heated pool with only 3 or 4 people out there
Well, the views are much nicer in Spring/Summer, I admit.

JALAPENO BUSINESS!
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
it's too bad it's so late
I kinda feel like stirring up trouble re: the UConn women’s 89 game win streak.

Simon Pegg: Funny dude
simonpegg If you mention the Internet in front of teletext he goes all quiet and moody.
Monta Ellis is having himself a year
Same problem as LA though – too much competition for him to be an All-Star.

Paul

Durant

I'm pretty confident that those will be the starters unless China gets to vote Yao in
PG is really strong this year and the coaches might put 3 of them on the team after Paul.
Manu might get it over Monta because the Spurs are playing so dang well right now.

it’s weird. El Nino supposed to make CA rain (which it sorta did last year, an El Nino year) and La Nina makes NW rain/snow. It’s a La Nina year, so I don’t know what’s up with this week.
thaat's right
ya, someone needs to tell this climate thing to get itself figured out!
She'll be right.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."

But, on the reals, I have no problems answering questions on this topic in a less public arena.
