The Post All-Star Junk - 02-15-2010

So todayyesterday was Valentine's day, and it iswas the day of the All-star game. Not sure when or if that has happened before, but it has not happened recently (although it was on the 15th two times last decade). I don't know about you, but I really like days that happen to synchronize, like my 23rd birthday was on March 7th, 2000, which was Super Fat Tuesday - when Mardis Gras synchronized with Super Tuesday.

Star-divide

So how about some random pictures about love? Because todayyesterday is a day for love or something.

So, if you are around, might as well tell your love stories or bad day after Valentine's day stories whichever applies. Or you can talk all about recycling, like I just recycled this JD that really applied to yesterday but did I really care? No. Do you? Do I that you?

I was born in the year of the tiger. When I was twelve I rode a tiger at wildlife safari. I called him battle cat.

When I was 24 I went back to wildlife safari, and after a failed attempt at copulating with the beast, I fought with it to the death.

What does this year hold in store? I can’t wait to find out…

Yahoo sports saying Portland was telling teams they could aquire Vujacic from the lakers and seeing if there was any interest for him.

Inferring that Portland had a 3 team deal in mind. Gawd I hope that would be the only reason to get the machine. That’s all we need, another guard.

I know you just want to get rid of Miller and normally I disagree with you,

but I would do this deal, just to get Shannon Brown. However the Lakers lose 2 PG’s and only get one back. No way they do this.

by Cablinasian on Feb 15, 2010 11:05 AM PST up reply actions  

The thing that makes me a skeptic of the value of this deal is the fact the Lakers

get a huge addition in Hinrich. I like Thomas as a rotation big, but I’d rather go after Bass/a player in the draft/bring Freeland over than do something that extends the Lakers window for another 3 years

My Quickie Olympic Preview (can the US medal in events today?)

By event/chance of medal:

Cross Country
Women’s 10km Free-Very Low
Men’s 15km Free-Very Low

Alpine Skiing
Men’s Downhill-Medium to High for a medal if Bode Miller can get his head out of his own ass.

Snowboard
Men’s Boarder Cross-High for a medal, the US is not favored in this event but could certainly either win multiple medals or the gold.

Speed Skating
Men’s 500m-Medium to high for a medal, a bit lower for the gold.

Figure Skating
Pairs-No chance, too far behind after the first night, but still doing better than expected.

True

I don’t know what you can do to fix this problem though because I don’t want them to go the way of MLB and award home court in the finals to the winner’s conference since home court is FAR more important in the NBA than home field is in MLB (with some notable exceptions such as Boston and NY).

except that he was really the only one doing something watchable the whole contest… DeRozen had one decent dunk (similar to Rudy’s last year) … They need to up the stakes and get bigger name guys in it… this year seemed like a backlash from last year when it was so obviously fixed to get DH and Nate into the final together

They had some fun events, non serious, like a center three point shootout, HORSE, etc, let the fans have fun, mic the players, and just show it on NBA TV. Kind of like Arthur Ashe kid’s day at the US Open, where the players just come out and have fun and show off.

I would like to get Tyrus and tell him, “you behave for 27 games. That’s it. Go crazy, block shots, rebound, play hard. Then you make mad bank and we get the playoffs. It works for both of us.”

He and LMA wouldn’t be that bad of a 4/5 combo. Tyrus leaves his man too often, but blocks shots and rebounds well. He also guards LeBron and Bosh well, which is cool.

Him as well, but I think an LA deal would involve a Bosh level talent

Moving Rudy for a backup C (i.e. Robin Lopez) while it may be beneficial to the Blazers in the long run (Rudy will never be more than a 15-20 mpg guy with Roy and Nic/Martell here) will unleash hell on KP from the internet

I'm not so sure of that

I think in the right system, Rudy could be a fringe all star on a yearly basis. However, he will never beat out Brandon Roy for minutes, neither of them can guard 3s, and Rudy can’t play the 1 (yet). In Lopez you have an active, defense oriented C, who with Joel aging/injured and Oden yet to prove he can make it through a full season fills a big hole for the Blazers in the short and long term.

This was true at the time that Snacob said it.

Its rare for a player to make as big a jump from year 1 to 2 as Durant did, and in KD’s case coaching had a lot to do with it. Oden might make as big a jump, but the odds are against it, I’d say.

We should all be happy that it turned out well for Oden in this regard.

Like most of the undercard in Dallas, the H.O.R.S.E. competition was underwhelming, but Royce Young of Daily Thunder was sufficiently entertained — and not by the trick shot attempts: “I don’t know if anyone can make a 30-foot jumper look so silky. Durant’s first shot was literally feathered in. I’ve never been that close to his jumper, but you really have to admire the rotation on his shot. It’s absolutely textbook. It couldn’t be more perfect. I know everyone watches HORSE for trick shots and crazy attempts, but honestly, I don’t know if anything is more entertaining than watching Durant chuck jumpers. It’s just pure.”

He’s not a superstar, hes a brittle, over rated jobber center at best who will NEVER play an entire season. (he never has yet, college or NBA)

For me, the hardest part is figuring out that average should be, for a given stat.

For example, the first time you see PER, the correct response is normally, “Is that good?”.

I don’t know of a good side that shows the general definition of a given advanced stat, and what level would be average, great, and “Mendoza line” equivalent.

Well, their goal is to find ways to better understand what a "great" player is, which is great.

But the fine line is when you take the stat as gospel. There are so many stats right now, and many of them still very inefficient, that you can often find a stat that takes your point of view, and unless another person is a stats expert, they really can’t reply. It’s often a conversation killer due to the complexity involved.

Agreed - It's much harder when you actually like/respect the guys

leaving, but all of our young players coupled with the high turnover in the NBA means we’re in store for some not so fun goodbyes. I’m one who values off court chemistry, so the thought of Travis leaving does scare me (in addition to being sad that we’re losing a great person/solid player) but of the forwards, one of Nic/Martell/Travis is going to go, and Nic’s defense has made him borderline untouchable

But you’ve ALWAYS been a kinda Negative Nancy, despite you liking our point differential.

I always thought you were level-headed with it, and that’s why when you freaked out last year during the trade deadline, I was so worried… it didn’t seem Jake-ish. You were a reasonable skeptic— Oden needs to be good before I think he will be, same for LMA, etc.

You weren’t a shining beacon of hope and promise before this season :-) It didn’t ruin you.

look at Camby’s RB numbers. He is just ridiculous at rebounding, even in his advanced age. Nice shot-blocking even still, and he doens’t seem to chase as many as he did in Denver.

his on/off stats are excellent both on offense and defense. Definitely worth the expirings to take him on for a year. Then pay him 3-4 million as an emergency big moving forward.

Vancouver is having a bad Olympics with equipment issues

Link: Richmond Oval ice resurfacer pulled after flooding ice

Quote:

The Olympia ice-resurfacing machines at the Richmond Olympic Oval continue to struggle on the Winter Games stage, with a mechanical breakdown leaving behind a pile of snow and a puddle of water in the middle of a speedskating competition for the second straight day.

Both times the messes were left about 20 metres from the inner lane’s finish line, and on Monday the machine was pulled off the ice for some repairs in the garage and eventually pulled from duty. At issue was the lever that drops the blade that resurfaces the ice.

A plain-white backup machine, looking naked in comparison to the main unit dressed with Olympic decorations, came out of an alternate garage and was eventually pressed into action, with chief ice-maker Mark Messer at the wheel.

Dutch national team coach Wopke de Vegt and American counterpart Ryan Shimabukuro both skated behind Messer, shaking their heads in frustration. Speed Skating Canada’s Olympic program director Brian Rahill also piped in as he stood in the infield.

It depends on what someone else can give them

They don’t want more contracts, they want the right mixture of expiring deals that are 25% LESS than what Camby makes (if my maths are right) so that it’s within the bubble of allowed-matching, and a team willing to just give straight cash like we would.

alright Bedgers, I have a question. In the next few days I am going to put in my application at the farmers market to open a stand that sells kebabs

I have two choices for the name, and they are as follows. Kebab-a-Rama, and Kebab-Asar, which means kebab happiness in Arabic. I need to decide which name to use, and I can’t. What do you people think?

Not really.

We have the “stoner” area (Santa Cruz) and the Berkeley area, which is its own animal. And San Francisco of course.

Beyond that, it’s really mostly tech workers and the support system for them. It’s a fairly professional area.

We have some good farmers markets here, all over the valley. Good local farms, great produce, good prices. It catches a lot of demographics, though it’s different for every market based on their local area.

My wife chimes in:

She says that if she doesn’t know the meaning of Asar, shed’ likely go to Kebab-a-Rama. But once she knew what Asar meant, she switched her answer, because she felt the Asar booth would likely be more authentic.

Without someone there to tell me

Here is my thought process: asar is either the STYLE of kebab (so, not the one I want), the guy’s name, or a region it’s from, or something that I just don’t care about.

that's another aspect to the argument

I don’t want to pigeon-hole myself into the middle eastern genre. Kebab a rama allows me to have flavor’s from all around the world, and kebab asar definitely gets my mind headed in a certain direction.

Travis can be brought back if he wants it, or he can go get more minutes elsewhere. And we got a still-good veteran center who we can rent or re-sign to back up Odie.

Blake spent years here under contract

It’s not uncommon to be traded in the last year of your contract, I imagine he was fully aware of the likelihood, even back when signing.

by Timmay! on Feb 15, 2010 10:47 PM PST up reply actions  

Yep. I don't think Blake will be upset.

I suspect he knew the writing was on the wall for a month or two, but he’s a pro and played right through it. I have no doubt he’ll be a pro and will skillfully slow down the Clipper fast break soon.

by Timmay! on Feb 15, 2010 10:52 PM PST up reply actions  

I would actually be upset if he was upset :-) smile

Not many other places woulda’ given him so many starting gigs and such a big role, and made him like family!

kp2 on camby (posted this morning haha):

Marcus Camby, C, L.A. Clippers

With Brendan Haywood in Dallas, the best short-term rental option in the middle is Camby, who makes little sense at this point for a Clippers team that has slipped 10 games below .500 and headed into the All-Star break on a four-game losing streak. With an expiring contract, Camby can help a team now without hurting the balance sheet going forward.

Now in his 14th season, Camby will be 36 in March, but his production has held up remarkably well in two seasons since being traded to the Clippers. The one place he has dropped off is in terms of his shot blocking, which can be explained by a combination of two factors. First, Camby was getting a healthy boost from friendly scorers at the Pepsi Center (they’ve since turned their attention to Chris Andersen). The difference in his block rate per 40 minutes on the road from 3.6 in 2007-08 to 2.5 this season can probably be largely attributed to playing alongside Chris Kaman, meaning slightly less responsibility for help defense.

Camby has been stronger than ever on the glass, pulling down a career-best 22.7 percent of available rebounds and essentially one in three opponent misses (33.1 percent of available defensive rebounds). Both marks lead the league. Camby does have some issues defensively in terms of stepping out on the perimeter and playing the pick-and-roll, but he is an excellent defensive anchor who would upgrade most teams in the middle.

After posting an impressive .556 True Shooting Percentage during his first season in L.A., Camby has slipped back to the near-50 percent range he settled in at with the Nuggets. Hoopdata.com’s numbers show that Camby benefited from a temporary uptick in his accuracy at the rim in 2008-09. However, he’s likely to improve the 27.0 percent of attempts he’s hitting from 16-23 feet. While Camby has never been quite accurate enough to justify the number of long twos he takes, he’s made between 35 and 37 percent of them the previous three seasons. Camby’s free throw percentage should also bounce back, making him more efficient than he has been so far.

In town in advance of their Tuesday game against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers were having a team dinner at Portland’s Ringside steakhouse Monday night when Camby received a call on his cell phone from Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard. Pritchard informed Camby that he will likely be traded to Portland once the league finalizes the deal on Tuesday.

After taking the call, Camby immediately walked out of the restaurant. A source close to him says he is "very upset" about the trade. He had hoped to re-sign with the Clippers this summer.

rest of the article
"He likes the Clippers, he likes the organization, he likes L.A.," the source said. "His wife is not happy in L.A. And he’s not one for change. He’s definitely not happy about this."

Camby isn’t the only one angry.

Said one Clipper: "All the guys are upset because our best defensive player got traded basically for a backup point guard and money."

Outlaw, 25, played in 11 games this season before breaking his left foot, and the Clippers are unsure when he’ll play again. Blake, 29, is averaging 7.6 points and four assists in 51 games.

The Blazers have been searching for some inside help to deflect the blow of losing centers Greg Oden(notes) and Joel Przybilla(notes). Some in the league also believe Pritchard wants to clear the way for Jerryd Bayless(notes) to get more time in the backcourt with Andre Miller(notes).

The Clippers, meanwhile, also have been shopping forward Al Thornton(notes), who was meeting with his agent Monday in Portland.

Camby, 35, is averaging seven points and 12 rebounds for the Clippers. He is making $9.1 million this season in the final year of his contract. Just last week, he told Yahoo! Sports he hoped the Clippers wouldn’t trade him.

"It feels good to be a wanted man, but I like it here," Camby said.

Camby left the restaurant without most of his teammates getting a chance to tell him goodbye. He is not believed to have finished his meal.

The season is kinda salvaged. We picked up a player who is probably Joel+.

I do wonder that we left two of our premier three point threats go. We really need Rudy to pick up the pace from three and for Nic to continue hitting.

Women, am I right, fellas?

This morning I had to go to the house we are watching and turn off the alarm for the cleaning lady. I picked up dog poo in the yard and just put it in the regular trash because I figured the cleaning lady would take it out. I then went home and went to bed.

In the evening, my wife and I go to the house and I throw something in the trash and smell the poo. I say to my wife, “Crap, she didn’t take out the trash. I’m gong to take it out now because it smells like poo.” She says, “OK.”

I take out the trash and five minutes later she says, “What did you do with that trash bag?” I say, “I took it out.” She says, “Why.” I say, “Because it smelled like poo.”

Seriously, what is wrong with her?

So then we are leaving and she keeps parking on their steep driveway instead of at the flat top or on the street. She’s complained the last two times about getting back into the car because the door wants to close on her and this time, the door closes on her and hurts her shoulder and she get pissed.

Then we get home, and I see a spot in the carpet and clean it with carpet cleaner. She says, “What are you cleaning?” And I say, “The carpet.” She gave me a dirty look and hasn’t talked to me since.

I got a carpet cleaner too, I need to hit the high traffic areas with it. Everyone with carpet in Hawaii has really light colored carpet.

Outlaw talked to Quick

“I’m cool with it,‘’ Outlaw said shortly before midnight. "It doesn’t bother me. It’s a business. I’ll just go somewhere else and play. Don’t get me wrong – I appreciate the opportunity Portland gave me, but I also know it’s a business.’’

Steve Blake

Nice guys finish last and lose the ball off their foot out of bounds at the worst possible time.

I’ll never forget his hilarious “fight” with Dwight Howard earlier this season though.

Hey, Blake told him some good words to use

It wasn’t bad.

Much better than Joel running away from Chandler and flinching like crazy.

Oh it was hilarious

Especially as we were miraculously up 20 despite shooting 40% in the first half.

Not KP.

WOW

Windows Mobile 7…..woah…i’m impressed.

MSFT totally revamped the OS based on the Zune interface…with an HD OLED screen, Xbox Live integration, this thing got some legs to compete against iPhone…

The gaming on it looks better than PSP and the user interface looks completely awesome.

It’s all about if it’s really gonna live up to the presentation…Zune is really cool so this can’t be that way off

It’s one of the more obvious trades that I and others predicted. I think Camby is still “good enough” to have some impact this season. Maybe more importantly it forces Nate to finally focus his rotation on playing Nic and Jerryd more to see what is the what.

The Silver pair was real good

THe gold pair, I thought should have gotten second, they were overscored IMHO.

there were two pairs? looked the same to me

by GOdenposse on Feb 16, 2010 1:03 AM PST up reply actions  

The German pair was extremely disappointed since they were back to back world champions, and they had the chance to win the first gold in about 50 years. Bronze is nice but not that special.

by Norsktroll on Feb 16, 2010 1:04 AM PST up reply actions  

They're the US's direct competitors for the overall medal total

So any German screwup is usually good.

Except for long-track speedskating, the US is having an extremely good Olympics.

We will have to see. Norway is likely to win quite a lot in biathlon and cross-country skiing. Björgen looked very good in the women’s cross country. Though I fear one of the medal winners is on PEDs.

by Norsktroll on Feb 16, 2010 1:15 AM PST up reply actions  

One of Norway;s?

But seriously, what the heck was that today, no Norwegian in the top 30 of the men’s race?

Wouldn't be the first time, especially in biathlon would it?

by skywaker9 on Feb 16, 2010 1:26 AM PST up reply actions  

You mean “especially in cross country skiing”. Finland’s whole team was disqualified a few years ago during championships in Finland which was especially embarrassing, with some guys suspended for life and some now back among the top after a rebuilding. Some individual athletes who won medals got caught too. But yes, Russia and a Austria also had doping scandals in biathlon.
