Junk Drawer - 2/27/10 - Most Hated vs Most Favorite Players

I was listening to the NBA Today podcast and he had his most hated and most loved teams. I thought it seems like a swell idea for a Fanpost if I kicked it up a notch. I would have mad it a stand alone Fanpost but it would have gotten junked up anyhow.
Here is the exercise: Take your six favorite current NBA players and put them against your six least favorite current NBA players. I've read lots of folks saying they hate Kobe and LeBron so it could be interesting.
My 6 Favorites:
Nash, Roy, Battier, Nowitzki, Oden, & Outlaw
My 6 Least Favorites:
Miller, Ben Gordon, Carmelo, Marion, Shaq, & Fisher
I think my favorites would win. It's a good thing I stopped hating Kobe and don't mind LeBron. I wanted to add Darius to my least favorite, and add Shav and Hansbrough to favorites. I haven't followed Hansbrough since week two of the season, so I didn't mind not adding him.
Luv,
Tom

A tsunami is going to hit here in 5 hours and 9 minutes
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it will be between the size of the one that just hit Samoa and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. My wife had to go to work at 4:30 AM. Someone on the news just said they expect a 12 footer to hit the windward side of the Big Island.
I am hands down the greatest Blazers fan on Blazersedge.
CNN advised people to consult the evacuation plans in their telephone book. They didn’t really say how bad they expect it to be, but it could be quite significant. Hopefully it’s just similar to a spring tide or a storm.
I just got this in my e-mail
I haven’t had a phone book in years.
ETA of first wave to Big Island has been estimated at 11:04 AM. Civil Defense Sirens will be activated at 6:00 AM and all shorelines on all islands will be asked to evacuate. Estimates of wave heights are: Hilo – 13.58 feet Kahului – 9.58 feet Kawaihae – 4.03 feet Haleiwa – 3.44 feet Kauai – 2.85 feet Honolulu – 2.88 feet

I look forward to watching dumb reporters standing on the beach when the waves come in

Legend has it
On the Oregon Coast (I think in the 60’s) they had a tsunami coming in. They had trouble evacuating the residents from the coast, due to the crush of people rushing down to the coast to see it.
"Least favorite to watch" or "When I think about him, I think 'man, I hate that guy'"?
Because I think Kobe is a complete and utter goon but I’ll still tune in to watch him play cuz he’s a hell of a player.

Just heard an interview with Kidd, he said he was hoping he would stay there as he came down the court so he could make contact.
He said he wasn’t sure what the rules said, but he was pretty sure something would come of it. Looks like it worked.

I doubt there is a rule that could be applied against Kidd even if everyone agreed
he did that intentionally. Coaches can’t draw fouls.
"In Batum's case he must realize he is very likely the first Blazer to successfully fight over a pick all season..."
-Ben
he did do it intentionally, but that’s his right if a coach stands on the court. Dumb move by Woodson
#52 #10 #7
I agree, but when the actual contact was made woodson was jumping off the court, and his feet were not on the court anymore.
So, do you think guys can reach out and grab a coach even if he wasn’t on the court immediately before? I would say no, so that’s my only beef with it.

Simmons is complaining on Twitter about NBA agent Aaron Goodwin sending a "digital attack dog" after him
Goodwin’s company epresents:
Matt Barnes – (Primary) Jamal Crawford – (Primary) Demar DeRozan – (Primary)
Kevin Durant – (Primary) Francisco Garcia – (Primary) Al Horford – (Primary)
Dwight Howard – (Primary) Patrick Mills – (Primary) DeMarcus Nelson – (Secondary)
Leon Powe – (Primary) Nate Robinson – (Primary) Rodney Stuckey – (Primary)
Marcus Williams – (Primary) Terrence Williams – (Primary)
Which of those guys has Simmons insulted recently? Certainly not Durant. Also not Howard or Horford. Also he welcomed Nate Robinson’s transfer to the Celtics. He doesn’t care about Mills, Powe, Barnes, DeRozan, Nelson, etc. I don’t really get it, but it sounds like he’s pretty angry about it.
Btw, he’s a free agent this summer. If you are ESPN, what offer do you make him?
Clips tickets for life if he goes away
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Ah, according to Tom Ziller it was something about Dwight
Then Goodwin sent Nate Jones (@JonesOnTheNBA) to write something about Simmons rip hurting Dwight’s MVP chances (yeah, right). I still don’t really get it.
I handle Digital Media for Goodwin Sports Management (GSM). Help Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, etc. develop brands and business opportunities online.
There may have been words behind the scenes
Simmons can be flippant and prolly hasn’t been punched in a while.

He called an article in the ORLANDO Sentinel "The dumbest sports column of 2010"
Because it name-dropped him in an article about why Dwight Howard should be considered an MVP candidate. Nate Jones criticized him on Twitter, and Simmons freaked out because he’s a pretentious d-bag who can’t handle criticism of his lazy writing. He’s blocked Ziller and Kelly Dwyer on much less.

i7 is the newer processor
but asus is generally a superior build.
if the other specs are similar and cost same, i’d go with the asus.

I like my HP ok
I’d get the AMD chip though. I like AMD. Speaking of which, they are launching a hex-core chip in April, may want to wait…
My theory is to get the best processor you can buy, everything else is pretty simple to upgrade, (e.g. ram, HD.) Also, I like 7200rpm HDs

Man I hate Andre Miller
I’m watching last night’s game with about 3 minutes left and Nate has to use the 3 guard lineup because of Miller. Bayless is the only player who was as quick as Rose. Roy is not going out, and Miller would complain to the media if Bayless was in instead of him, so Nate had to sit Batum.

“Some of it is we start to play to hang on, and keep the lead instead of playing to go out there and win the game,” Roy said. “We start to force it into me and LaMarcus, or even Dre, and we start to watch. We hope one guy gets it done instead of playing looser and getting some movement.”

not exactly.
mostly how you see one of your teammates in a mismatch so you go to help and then the rest of the team doesn’t rotate. then, if your matchup scores, it docks you, without accounting for your good help defense. also how if you get screened off your guy no one helps you.
but this might just be because i play for the suns and they suck on this game.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:30 PM PST up reply actions
While you're starting out
Just stay on your guy. If the coach wants you to help, he’ll put you on them, or you can double them when they get the ball. Otherwise, stay on your guy.
You got trouble with screens? I thought they were too easy to avoid— but when I lose my man a teammate usually covers, and I’m on the Knicks.
Is it on the computer? Do they have a patch yet?
#52
SHORT answer is, though
Just stay on your man and don’t try to guard everyone. Stay home, box out, be a good soldier.
#52
oh i do stay on my guy almost all the time. and i don’t have trouble with screens (except the official, who does a bang up job screening me on the baseline and causes me to swear) except ones in a while on a good one while my guy is driving. the problem for me is that the Suns have no interior D and a lot of times Nash ends up on their center. Or they play Barbosa at SF. When I play Utah, he always gets abused by Millsap on the block. Seems to me that being a good teammate on defense is more about help defense than just covering your own guy when you see the other team exploiting a mismatch for easy buckets that will defeat your team.

i haven’t switched any difficulty levels. but i might just suck at this game
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:49 PM PST up reply actions
it is way, way harder as a 2-guard than as a point. 2-guard is the toughest defensive matchups and doesn’t get the ball enough on offense.
#52 #10 #7
i loooooove playing defense on guys like Kobe and Brandon.
I did a great job on Brandon when i’ve played him. blocked his shot once and all. Kobe I can do ok on, but he makes crazy shots so there’s nothing i can do. Monta Ellis is the worst to guard.
i enjoy playing 2 guard. but the coach has me play PG and SF sometimes also.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:53 PM PST up reply actions
your frustrations are mostly due to you wanting to play the toughest position. So if you wanna, you wanna I guess. :)
#52 #10 #7
yeah.
all in all, it’s really not that frustrating at all. i’m loving the game and it’s probably the funnest basketball sim game i’ve ever played. i’m nitpicking mostly.

the gameplay was horrible, and I didn't find it intuitive at all
the movement of the players was weird, and I couldn’t quite get the timing down on stuff. I figured it was just because I hadn’t really played a basketball game since the snes, and it very well could be, but yeah, I was really disappointed.

i just got pissed all the time
cause everyone would miss just ridiculous shots. like, wide open breakaway layups. and it seemed like they missed those most of the time, not just once in a while. i ended up just creating a whole team and having fun before i stopped playing it all together. it made me really hesitant to get 2k10, but the guys in here talked me in to it with all their good advice and conversation.

i’m not gonna win any of those awards at all….. i didn’t get called up to the Suns until the season had started either. i think i started with them 20 games in to the season or so…
i average about 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. with 7 minute quarters. i think i play about 20 minutes a game or so….
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:43 PM PST up reply actions
i must be doing something wrong then...
i had to get my layups and shoot in traffic numbers way up just to get easy shots to fall consistently.
i just set screens a lot and crash the boards like a madman whenever i can and box out. oh, that’s another thing, you don’t get any credit for boxing out on offensive rebounds.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:47 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah, I've done a full season minus playoffs
So I got layups, contact shooting, stamina, jumping, lots of things at 99.
#52
i don’t think it would have been possible for me to get stats up there that fast. were you getting A+ every game or something? what team do you play for? you must get lots of easy assists or something? the highest rating i have is a 95 on layups.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:51 PM PST up reply actions
i average an A rating now.
so i do all the right stuff, but it took me quite a while to get there. learning the buttons and what not.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:54 PM PST up reply actions
95 on layups is good
Yeah, I’m a PG, I always get an A+ (except for some of the first games when the player sucks), and I spent all of my points first on layups and shooting in traffic, and then on my stamina so I could use turbo more.
I get an A+ every game and in the beginning I at least got 1500~ skill points a game, and now I get around 2400 or more a game.
PG is definitely easier though.
#52
i think with even getting A+ the most points i’ve got (without getting a mileston) is about 1400.
some of the objectives are kinda ridiculous. one of them was I had to hold my matchup to 2 points. and i was playing the grizzlies and throughout the game had to guard Mayo and Gay.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:55 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah, those are tough
Also, my guy has hit 3 threes all season, all out of luck. I have a 45 for threes. But I get told to shoot 40% on threes for a game… it ain’t gonna happen.
As your player improves you’ll do better in games, but until then, do the teammate stuff like blocking out EVERY play even if you got no chance at the ball.
#52
yeah i can't hit 3's for crap.
i’m rated a 70 and unless i’m wiiiiide open, they don’t fall. it’s annoying. i’m hoping once i get it to 75 i can hit them with regularity. my scoring average will jump a bit if that happens.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 4:58 PM PST up reply actions
I don't work on shooting at ALL
Except in drills. I NEVER shoot jumpers.
Get layups and your athletic skills up to 99 as quick as ya can. I got speed, stamina, agility/quickness/whatever it’s called, all 99.
#52
my big man is pretty much modded out at everything I need, so Warren is adding a sick 18 footer currently.
#52 #10 #7
Yeah, I'm also doing dunking last
Because I’m at 81, and that’s good enough. Plus, it’s so expensive!
So now, I am getting rebounding up as high as I can.
#52
Here is what is at 99
Layups
Shoot in Traffic
Passing
Hands
Steal
On Ball Defense
Speed
Stamina
Vertical
Quickness
Offensive Awareness
With others except for shooting pretty high. That’s why it’s so easy for me now.
#52
yeah, that makes sense.
i’m no where near that level. but it feels like a realistic progression for me so far. it’s nice feeling like i’ve earned everything i can do on the court.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 27, 2010 5:06 PM PST up reply actions
yeah, for a PG that makes sense.
i needed to add those shot points so i could be decent at scoring. as it is, i still get almost all my points on layups and post moves. but my mid range jumper is much more reliable now and that has made a big difference. i’m upping my vertical now so i can up my dunk and start dunking. haha

i have access for a free copy of windows 7 legally
should i partition my hard drive and do a fresh install, or simply upgrade my vista directly?
If you're comfortable setting up your machine from scratch, adding drivers, software, moving data etc
I’d recommend a fresh install.
thats what im leaning towards
ive used only about a quarter of my 300 gb hard drive, so i was thinking i could break it up into two different parts. one for vista, and one for windows 7.
I haven't tried dual-booting Vista and 7, so I'm not positive there are no problems
But I’m sure there are tons of people online who have tried it, and a search will confirm it.
Man, here I am jawwin' away and I totally forgot to set the DVR! My lady's taking me out to a fish dinner tonight, belated birthday dinner, and I'm not gonna watch the game until after we get back

Does Martell accept a role where he's the 9th or 10th guy off of the bench?
Official Adrian Wojnarowski Hater.
The Ardent Optimist.
it's got to be difficult for a young guy to accept a end of the bench role
but I think it could work. Although, I wouldn’t begrudge him signing somewhere else when his contract is up.
"In Batum's case he must realize he is very likely the first Blazer to successfully fight over a pick all season..."
-Ben
As much as his D and rebounding have improved Web makes as much as Nic and Dante together
which makes him kind of expendable and he would certainly be attractice to a lot of teams
by southern oregon on Feb 27, 2010 8:40 PM PST up reply actions
He will for the rest of the season
He doesn’t seem to be a troublemaker. Then, if the writing is clearly on the wall after the season, I suspect he’ll quietly talk to KP about his future (loosely translated to: “If I’m not going to crack the rotation, please trade me somewhere that needs a SF”)
A number of teams would love to take a shot on a still-young Martell, with signs of improving defense, and a chance that the rest of the game will eventually click.
Lol. I ran upon this conversation at Canis Hoopus.

I think so.
Like Bayless, he has one skill that he uses to his advantage (like Bayless’ ability to throw himself into a crowd, Rudy can hit a quick-release three). Otherwise, the two players have little to add to an NBA game, in my unadvanced opinion.

steals per game would be more intuitive, raw is more challenging for sure.
Camby’s steals are something I’m really thinking about right now. Sure feels like we could have an insane trapping lineup if we wanted to run that kind of scheme when we get down. We have a lineup of all above-average steals guys with tremendous length.
It’s an asset that could be really effective.

really interesting stuff raised in the Wingcast. I love that Pelton chills out Ben’s drama and makes it even-keeled.
Anyway, Ben talked about how Nate’s been super weird answering questions about Camby, refusing to even address him after the 18 rebound game. The theory floating around the media is that Nate is a little frustrated that Camby and Miller have their own way to do things, while Travis and Steve would do things in the exact fashion that he wanted.
People hypothesized this in the JD as well.

Very interesting.
I find it a little more ado than Cloudy, simply because it’s very plausible, and gives insight into Nate.
Pelton also said somethign to the effect of Young Martell : Kobe :: Nate : Sloan. Nate’s teams in Seattle really struggled against Sloan as well.

hold up
if a guy plays one season and averages 40 minutes a game and another guy plays 10 seasons and averages 40 minutes a game, how do you differentiate?
cause monta is averaging an insane amount this season

yeah say a rookie is averaging 40 a game

hey morty what did ya think about dead snow?
i just watched it and thought it was just swell
the few, the proud, the blazers
I watched the first ten minutes and then decided to watch something that I could clean my apartment during
I don’t mind subtitled movies but until I speak Norwegian I gotta be able to read the movie same time!
I read the first half is kinda boring and then it gets rad.

Yep they take some weird concentration
It’s why it helps if people respond to the original post so you can keep order a bit.
Still working on my next one. I’m looking at maybe a movie one. Cloudy, go for it.

just a way of mixing field goals, free throws, and three pointers. Threes are more than twos, free throws should count as possessions, that stuff. It’s not advanced.

it’s essentially, how many points do I get per shot. If I shoot a three, a two, and two free throws, making the three and a free throw, I scored 4 points on 3 possessions.

True shooting percentage is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.
