Nic Batum is pretty gosh diddly arn awesome. Agreed? good then follow me after the jump for some Batum facts.
-Nic really chose the number 88 because it's his wingspan, 8'8".
-Nic can dunk it from the free throw line, standing still.
-Nic has never seen a fastbreak he couldn't break up.
-They say it takes a week to shake off the feeling of being guarded by nic batum.
-Nic used to play goalie in soccer, but they made him quit because they decided it wasn't fair for the other team.
-The reason the Blazers got away with that 6 men on the court play last year was because the refs and opposition always feel like there are 6 blazers on the court when Nic is playing.
-Nic sometimes lets his man score, but only because he feels sorry for them having to be guarded by Nic Batum.
-They say each time Nic Batum dunks on you, you lose a year off the end of your life (just ask Pau Gasol).
-Nic keeps his hair short because if he were to grow a fro his awesomeness would cause the world to implode.
-If you look up the word awesome in a thesaurus the first alternative is Nic Batum.
-They say Jordan went to play baseball because he heard Nic Batum was coming. He came back when he realized he had some time before he was eligable.
-Nic no longer watches live games because the people playing say they can feel his defensive presence and it scares them.
-In practice they run two on one drills, Nic always wins.
-Nic never has to use bug repellent because he can guard against anything.
-Nic eats 20ppg scorers for breakfast.
-Unlike most people Nic's arms will never stop growing.
-Nic can never go to a slam dunk competition because he would be too tempted to block all the dunks.
-Rumor has it if you score 50 on Nic Batum you will live forever. Too bad that will never happen.
-Nic learned to play defense by watching a special on mother bears defending they cubs, though people say Nic would do a better job defending them.
-To fall asleep at night Nic counts fastbreak blocks.
-The real reason Nic fell in the draft was because he had no stats or game film. this happened because the other team would forfeit upon his arrival.
Those are some Batum facts I came up with, so if you still believe is the mythological creature that is the JD with a topic then have at it with some Batum facts of your own. Or don't. See if I care (hint, i might)

repost from last JD-- Basketball on Paper has a really interesting chapter on the hot hand
Tidbits:
- Darryl Dawkins had a clear anti-streak tendency (he was more likely to make his next shot after a miss than after a make)
- No player on the ‘81 and ’82 Celtics was more likely to make the 2nd FT after making the first FT than he was if he missed the first FT
- However, they did make more 2nd FTs than first FTs overall.
- in 1985 a psychologist did controlled shooting experiments with the Cornell basketball teams (how I managed to not know this until now is beyond me)
- 1 of 26 players showed a streak shooting tendency
- 4 shooters were able to predict the result of their next shot at a statistically significant level
- Oliver in general still thinks the hot hand exists but that teams overreact to the perception of it, or are bad at recognizing it or believe it exists more often than it does, which would explain why nobody’s found evidence of it in data
Free AK1984
Psychologists have found some good evidence that “flow” exists, when an athlete is so into the moment that everything seems to come naturally to her or him and just instinctively makes great decisions. Andre might have had that against Dallas. But of course that could be both the skill of the athlete, and the inability of the opponent to prevent him from doing what he does best in team sports.
Flow is a good word for it
I feel like I have felt that “flow” in my basketball days, and some games when at the plate in baseball. You just… play, and play as good as ever. The flow is a nice feeling.
#52
yeah. it has happened in both sports for me. it’s like you block everything and just feel good about the way you are playing and are supremely confident that the next shot/at bat will result in something good.

It's super hard to "prove" or disprove the hot hand theory
for one reason:
It’s mightly hard to put a number on the quality of a shot, and I haven’t seen anyone try to do so.
If the player believes he’s hot, he’ll take worse quality shots, maybe making them more often than if he was “cold”, but it’s also possible that a good shot by a cold player has a higher probability of going in.
Another aspect is the effect of a hot player on the opposing defense, and therefore on the quality of the shots taken by the hot player’s teamates.
Sorry if I’m repeating what someone already said.
I love this subject.
Probably because I cannot decide what I believe. Many of the observational studies (in game) of the hot hand are obviously flawed, but other studies seem good enough. In particular, I would have thought that the controlled FT shooting experiments would have turned up something. Of course, perhaps a truly hot hand happens so rarely that it simply gets washed away in the noise of normal shooting.
Has anyone studied players to see if their shooting percentage increase after every made shot. For example, if Rudy has already hit three 3 pointers, does the probability for hitting the fourth increase?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
The only thing that I have seen
is this admitedly small study that one True Hoop reader did. The conclusion that the study made was that some players when they start “hot” seem to broaden their view of what a good shot is.
- They say each time Nic Batum dunks on you, you lose a year off the end of your life (just ask Pau Gasol).
about this. i once heard, each year you play football (i assume professional) it takes 5 yrs off your life. not sure if this is true? but all that banging & slamming into others i really wouldn’t doubt it.

probably true
most football players are really messed up once they retire, especially lineman. Even a few of my buddies who just played high school football are permanently messed up in some way from playing.

Nic Batum once scored 89 points in a game, and then stopped to not embarrass Chamberlain
(He really did. Unfortunately as a pro he never scored more than 25. But that should change. Like, NOW!)
Rudy is in an odd environment playing for Nate,behind Steve and has never[?] started

That Tebow ad had zero punch to it. Either CBS whittled it down so much it lost its meaning, or the writers weren’t quite able to get their point across (which I am still not sure what the point was). The only reason I linked it to abortion was all the hype leading up to it, but was it even an anti-abortion ad?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Nope it wasn't
I knew the NFL would NEVER allow a truly controversial political ad like that to run. Apparently CBS, the advertiser and the NFL had been tweaking the ad for months.

really good players will prove themselves eventually.
Brady, and Harrison are good examples. If Mike Hass was really that good, we’d see it on the field. He’s been with teams and not made a mark.
by DrivetheLane on Feb 8, 2010 12:56 PM PST up reply actions
Has Hass been put in positions to actually show what he can do?
I for one don’t see any difference in skill between Austin Collie and Mike Hass, but Collie ended up in a position that has allowed himself to show what he does well.
I would assume that to be put in the type of position
Collie is in, he would have had to show he was semi-capable before hand. Hass was with the Seahawks and couldn’t stick….
if you can’t show it in practice, then you probably don’t have it to begin with.
But that assumes that the Seahawks have an idea of what they are doing
which may not be the case. It also assumes that in practice that they are even given a shot to really do some things.
I also remember reading about how some of the final cuts were made many years ago. One of the instances that they looked at was during the final preseason game a receiver got open deep and the quarterback made a bad throw which cost the reciever a TD reception. The article made it seem pretty clear that had the pass been on target then the receiver would have made the team, when objectively the receiver did exactly what he is asked to do (i.e. get open), but due to outside influences (i.e. a bad throw) he didn’t make the team.
good point about the Seahawks.
i just think that if a player is truly and NFL talent, he will be found and used. Hass has been on more than one NFL team and made nothing of it, which leads me to believe he may not be an NFL talent.
But there are plenty of NFL caliber players who have been cut by multiple teams
before they really got an oppourtunity to play. TMQ has as huge section of his pre-superbowl column looking at some of these players. While some of those players don’t fit the same profile of Hass, there is a huge portion of the league that have been cut multiple times.
but the point is, they caught on
and were successful. Mike Haas has been out of college for how long and not caught on?
But they were also given a true chance to succeed
which to me is critical. I don’t think that Hass ever really got what amounts to a real shot to show what he can do
you have to earn your shots.
that’s my point. he has not earned a shot likely because the talent he has exhibited in practice/training camp has fallen short.
This is beginning to sound like one of those old Bayless arguments
where one side would say “Free Bayless, lets give him a chance to develop and see what he can do” and the other side would say “If he were getting it done in practice then he would be playing”

Kurt Warner is the perfect example of what i’m talking about. if you have NFL talent, you will get a shot.
what are you talking about?
kurt warner was snubbed by the whole league on more than one occassion…he had to come up from the AFL ranks for someone to finally notice like 4 years after he graduated.
even with his resume the cardinals still didnt wanna start him and elected to play leinart instead for a long time.

did he get he earn his shot with an NFL team?
YES.
did he have the talent to play in the NFL?
YES.
If you have the talent, you will get a shot. how does Kurt Warner refute what I am saying?
he earned all of his shots by default
not because of good coaching…each team he has been with the coaching staff pretty much failed to recognize what he could contribute.
the entire league passed up on him in the draft…fail
failed a few tryouts with various teams
then was a backup to the rams and only given starting spot bc of injury…not bc the coach had confidence in him
i remember him doing better than eli manning when he was with the giants at the time yet he still lost his spot
then in arizona he couldnt start until matt leinart lost the job…
i dont recall a single time in his career where they said…kurt you are the man, you are going to start. every single time he has been snubbed…hes kinda like joel pryzbilla who was often underappreciated here when he started out as a blazer. they kept on bringing new big men to the team and supposedly marked them as starters, yet by years end joel ended up being the better man each time.

you miss my point.
he had the opportunity, yes because of injury (just like Brady), but he made the most of it. he had the talent, he stepped up. Mike Haas has had chances, he hasnot stepped up. if you have the talent, when the opportunity comes (and it does come) you have to step up. if you don’t have the talent, you aren’t going to make it happen. my point is: if you have the talent, when the opportunity arrives, you will succeed.
when has hass ever been given a chance? iirc, he has been placed on the 53 man roster for two games in his career.

was he on an NFL team?
do they practice? do they have scout teams? has he played in a game and been thrown at? has he played in Europe?
New Orleans Saints
Hass wore jersey #18 with the Saints, a change from the #28 he wore in college due to the NFL’s positional jersey numbering rules. On July 27, 2006 Hass signed a three-year contract with the Saints, details were undisclosed. He recorded three receptions for 28 yards in his first preseason game on August 12 against the Tennessee Titans. However, he was released by the Saints on September 3, 2006.
[edit]Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears signed Hass to their practice roster on September 4, 2006. He remained there throughout the season, until the team signed him to their active roster on February 8, 2007. During the next preseason finale, he made a leaping touchdown catch.4 He finally earned a spot on the Bears’ active roster as the team’s sixth wide receiver on September 1, 2007.5
On August 29, 2008, Hass was waived by the Bears.6 He was re-signed to the team’s practice squad on September 30,7 only to be released again on October 11. He was re-signed to the practice squad on October 15. Hass was released again on December 23.8
[edit]Seattle Seahawks
Hass was signed to a future contract by the Seattle Seahawks on January 7, 2009. Despite scoring a touchdown in the first preseason game, Hass was cut by Seattle on September 5, 2009. He was signed to the Seahawks’ practice squad two days later. On November 3, the Seahawks signed Hass to their 53-man roster.9
On November 12, 2009, Hass was moved to the Seahawks practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster again on December 26 when the team waived defensive end Derek Walker. Hass was placed on injured reserve with a dislocated shoulder on December 30.

3 seperate teams have decided he wasn't good enough
he probably wasn’t good enough. There are always exceptions, and all 3 teams might just have blown it, but chances are, he’s not an NFL impact player.

“I think I still have some game left in me,” Battie told the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. “My body feels good. I think on the right team I could be a P.J. Brown-sort of a plug for a contender. Hopefully, I get that opportunity.”

I had predicted 54 wins again this year
I would be shocked if they could go 24 and 5 the rest of the way. I am hoping for a 6 or 7 seed, because I think there is a chance of advancing, but I wouldn’t mind an 8 seed to rough up the L*kers a little bit.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Who knows?
The number of wins for top teams is going to drop in any case because of the increased parity in the west.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
So looks like Kobe, Roy, Paul and Melo may miss the ASG for the west
Maybe this causes the NBA to take a look at its policies on injuries and the ASG.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Because players who are at all injured
Seem to be sitting out games before the ASG so they don’t have to play in it.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
What is the alternative? I can’t imagine the league being able to force a guy to play. I guess perhaps of the ASG actually meant something, then their may be incentive to play, but that is kinda baseballesque, which no one wants.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
They kind of do
In MLB you can opt to sit out, in the NBA you can’t.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
They require a player to sit out the game before and after the All Star Game
If they’re injured. That works well enough for me.
So BR has to sit out the Clips game after the break?
At least.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That's my understanding (I noted that in a previous thread too)
I don’t know if it applies differently when he’s been out for an extended period though.
Wait, it looks like it's only one or the other
If you played the game before, you have to sit the game after. Not both. My mistake.

About those side events at the All Star Game: have the eleven shortest guys in each conference (coached by the shortest coach, of course) play each other one night, and then have the eleven tallest from each conference (coached by the tallest coach, of course) play the next night. For the third night, have the tall winners play the short winners. (I think I’d bet on the short guys, I doubt a seven foot point guard could get the ball up the court.) These would be real games, of real interest to the fans, and a much better way to work up to the game than rookies and slam dunks.
BOOM BOOM BATUM!!!
David Aldridge reports that Blazers want Butler, but aren't willing to give up more than Martell and expiring deals plus cash
(Don’t discount Portland, either. While much has been made of the Blazers’ pursuit of Washington center Brendan Haywood, the Blazers have just as much, if not more, interest in Butler, and are willing to put $3 milliion in cash toward a deal — which certainly interests the Wizards. But Portland’s refusal to put any of its young players other than Martell Webster in any potential deal puts it on the outside looking in. As has been reported, the Wizards want either Nicholas Batum — no chance — or Rudy Fernandez — not likely, as he is a favorite of many inside the Blazers’ braintrust. The Lakers would also love to repatriate Butler with Kobe Bryant, who would love to have him. But L.A. doesn’t have the expiring contract/young player assets necessary to get seriously involved.)
Seems like ultimately Butler will end up in Texas. I hope it’s on the Mavs and not on the Rockets.

We also wouldn't have to pay him a dime
Since he’s suspended the rest of the year.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Oh yeah
You sure as heck can. Artest was on the block while he was suspended for example.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
But they tried to trade him
And the fact that they did showed that it could be done.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
word on the street is that Crittenton has not been cut primarily because the Wiz think his contract could help make a trade work, after the deadline if he’s still on the Wiz, it looks like they’ll waive him so he can play in Europe this year

Makes sense
And even if his deal is guaranteed, with a suspension, its no loss to the team that gets him.
He’ll be cut one way or the other soon then.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
ESPN inquired about that when the suspensions were handed out, and the league office confirmed there is nothing in the CBA that would prevent this as long as both teams agree
Also neither Arenas nor Crittenton are on qualifying offers that would allow them to veto a deal, unlike say Nate Robinson and David Lee.
oh
well i say throw in rudy to get the deal done

This would be the rare case where we could actually get value
Of anywhere close to Rudy for him.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Could be any other player, but they don't have many cheap ones and he is the most worthless at this point
And yes, it would be Steve Francis all over again. If we give them Joel other configurations are possible. If they want Rudy, another team needs to get involved since they have a full roster, e.g. OKC or Memphis to take on a player and we give them the cash to buy him out/pay him.
Paul Allen's cash may work again
After all, that’s what we paid for Batum.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Butler is a FA after next year
I don’t know why the Wiz are looking for cap room now, they’re basically screwed unless Arenas’s deal gets voided.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The marriage between the Bulls and Tyrus Thomas is coming to an end
One witness said it made Joakim Noah’s vocal assault on then-assistant coach Ron Adams in 2008 look like “nothing.”
It will be sad if the Bulls “brilliant” cap space plan backfires and all they get out of losing TT and Gordon is Joe Johnson or just Rudy Gay. If they land Bosh, Wade or LeBron (or two out of those), all is forgotten.
Ah Tyrus Thomas
Yet another Pritchslapping. Whatever you think about LMA, we’re a lot better off with him than with Thomas and Khryapa.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Thomas has at least the athletic potential of LaMarcus (LaMarcus is bigger though). But he really has a poor basketball IQ (and maybe social EQ going by many reports) head on that body. He has made almost no development, and flashes of brilliance are mixed with flashes of utterly stupid actions. He has rarely seen a pump fake he didn’t bite on and wanted to block into the stands, and that’s sometimes the least of his defensive issues. Combine that with a rookie coach who follows every order the organization gives him and doesn’t know himself which lineups would work if those lineups had glowing signs above them, and it’s a recipe for disaster.
e.g Portland
Hey, if they really wanna get rid of him we’ll take him
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
KP wouldn't take him-- wouldn't fit the culture
I think Thomas could have been pretty good in the right situation.
Free AK1984
I agree
But dang.. I think he would flourish in a development orientated system like Portland.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
I'm not so sure he's a player that will ever develop much
Sometimes it;s the system, sometimes it’s the player. In Thomas’ case, it may actually be both.

sorry to let you down. i thought Dennis Hopper was waaaaaaaaaay over the top and it annoyed me. plus, I saw American Beauty first, and they are very similar in terms of theme. for some reason, Lynch is just too out there for me or something. maybe i should watch it again sometime.
I dont see how the themes of American Beauty and Blue Velvet overlap
you will have to explain that one to me
In my view,
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
to finish that thought
In my view, American Beauty and Blue Velvet take place in different worlds, with American Beauty taking place in our reality, whereas Blue Velvet takes place entirely of Lynch’s creation, where any resemblance between our world and Lynch’s world is only coincidental.
I dont think I could watch any of Lynch’s work if I took it literally.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
i get what you're saying.
but both movies deal with the “seedy underbelly of suburbia”. that’s what i meant saying they deal with the same theme. The first sequence of Blue Velvet pretty much hits you over the head with this.
Lynch does create his own worlds though, I agree.
In a vague way I would agree, except that Blue Velvet is set in a small logging town and not in suburbia.
PEDANTRY
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I cant really say since I have never really lived in suburbia, but I love his portrayal of small towns
I used to think that Blue Velvet was one of his more accessible films, but I am starting to re think this since the surrealism is a bit masked in this one, which might make it harder to see that it is not taking place in our reality.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
the way i watch movies is that they are alll their own little
worlds/realities. some of them closely resemble ours, but they are never actually our own world/reality. as long as the reality of the movie is consistent, that’s cool. Lynch does seem to have a consistent reality, it’s just not one I can really get in to. At least, not the one in Blue Velvet. I should probably watch a little more Lynch, but what I’ve seen I haven’t been really high on.

I haven’t seen many episodes, maybe 3 or 4. But that show should be called FAIL: How the problems of the future surely won’t be solved. Ridiculous ideas how to capture and store CO2 as frozen torpedoes in under water (you would need thousands if not millions of those to have any effect), recultivating forests by dropping mangrove seed bombs from the air, floating helium balloons with wind turbine generators to harvest the wind a few hundred feet above ground. All giant FAILS.
Isnt that Undercover Boss?

sounds like “Smash Lab” here in the US… it was on discovery, but no one watched it, so it was canceled I think
#7, #10, #25, #52,
It’s more scientific. Like Mythbusters experiments on a grand scale solving eco problems. Only they constantly run into problems that even any decent project manager or innovator could predict a few minutes into the episode.
Saw a couple of episodes also....
and I swear, you picked the most accurate title possible….“FAIL: How the problems of the future won’t be solved.”
I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how they picked hte folks they did to “test” these ideas…….they didn’t come across as the sharpest tools in the shed.
"I'm a man, but I can change.....if I have to......I guess." - Red Green
Yeah, I've seen that. The surfer guy is named sebastian, he looks at the science of the new technologies, the engineer looks at the possibilites for producing the devices, and the businessman looks at the implementation costs and profitability of the tech
good show, but I can’t remember the name either. Green Tech? Did you see the one recently where they set off salt flares to add to reflectivity of clouds, in the hopes that more sunlight energy could be bounced back into space? Sure there are a lot of wacky things on that show, but brainstorming is never a bad thing.

HORSE/GEICO will feature Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo, Omri Casspi
Aka “Durant shooting long shots that the two others can’t do”

well of course it is!
why did no one mentions this before?
what they should do is have some required shots. such as, at least one shot with your back to the basket. one shot while sitting down. stuff like that.
i bet he 'gets open shots that he can't knock down'
ie he would drive Nate bananas. you’re sposed to shoot 100% on j’s

probably easier to pull off in a comedy
than a drama. people are usually less emotionally invested in comedies. MASH, Cheers, and Seinfeld are exceptions, hence the higher ratings for the finales.
That was the hysterical
way to pull off the dream sequence. Probably really only funny because of the Dallas shower scene…..but yet is WAS funny.
"I'm a man, but I can change.....if I have to......I guess." - Red Green
It was funny, regardless of the Dallas scene
It works well if you haven’t seen Dallas, simply on its own. Very original, and they did a great job of not spoiling the surprise in advance.
i kinda liked it.
it was different. and after seeing CYE, it makes more sense to me just because that finale fits Larry David’s style. It was an interesting idea, but hard to execute.
Lost has the potential to be the worst ending ever….
I really really hope they don't mess Lost up.

A class action suit would probably bring the company under if it turned out they knew or even suspected there was a mechanical or SW fault and didn’t fix it. Better safe than sorry. Tylenol is a good case study to do the right thing and do rather too much than too little when problems with your products arise to retain customer trust and loyalty.
That said, it’s astonishing that the company widely credited with having the most robust product development and manufacturing process is getting hit by quality problems.
i'm only pissed bc
i bought a car like a week before they publically announced a recall

Toyota's product engineer for the Lexus line is credited as "the Michael Jordan of car executives"
No joke
I looked at the Lexus line recently
I left very disappointed. I think the Lexus line is a little overrated. But they sell like hotcakes (until recently of course), so what did I know.
I think his breakthrough achievement apart from having the idea for such a sub-brand was overseeing the development of an engine with specs that nobody could match. Initially his engineers didn’t believe it could be manufactured, so he challenged them to build just one basically by hand. Then he put that on display and had people visit to see it. And like engineers are, discussions started how the tooling for that could still be done to mass produce it…
pshhh american cars.

I constantly wonder what kind of weird cars win European Car of the Year
I don’t trust those publication awards more than say the Oscar selection process. J.D. Powers is probably the only one with some kind of relevance since they use actual stats and customer feedback.
i don't put much stock in to it for any of them.
the media isn’t a reliable source anyway. i learned all that when i was selling vehicles. when it comes down to it, any one car is as good as another generally speaking. Japanese cars aren’t really way better (or better at all, in some cases) than American ones.
if it isnt reliable
then why would you use that as a point?
and american cars are bad enough that they had to get bailed out and then still go under unlike japanese cars.

i disagree.
but your decisions is at least partly influenced by popular opinion and media coverage over the long haul. i’ve driven both types, and i like the Fusion I have much better than any Honda or Toyota I’ve ever driven.
lets see how the resale values compare

sure, the resale values are higher.
but, again, the market value of cars, even resale value, is determined mostly by popular demand. and american car companies have been taking a beating in the media for a loooooong time. the best thing toyota and honda do are control their media and pr. this big recall is the first thing to hurt them in as long as i can remember.
well resale values are one of my determining factors
as i dont plan on driving a car for the entire duration of a car…
if a honda and ford both cost 20k off the lot, and 5 years later i can sell the honda for 10 k vs 7k for the ford…
then technically the honda ends up being cheaper in the long run is it not?

KIA and Hyundai has a crappy car reputation here, a bit better than Daiwoo maybe. Even Lexus wouldn’t be put in the same category as Mercedes, BMW, Porsche. Maybe with Audi if they are lucky. Accura is not existent as a sub-brand. Chrysler only was somewhat successful while merged with Daimler/Mercedes.
Hyundai revived their reputation in the US
With heavily improved cars, strong warranties, options to return the cards if you’re unhappy, and attempts to build the car locally in the states.
They’ve done a lot of work in the US.
Yeah, their campaign to bring people to buy their cars even if they are unsure if they can afford it looks like a good PR strategy. Especially if you have the product quality to back that up and make people want to keep the car once they have it.
I don’t think they have worse quality than say Opel or Ford but people don’t appreciate it.

Never a good rebounder for the last few years, he was just relatively high profile for a backup PF last year.

Since Billups has a few more good years in him, most likely
I assume Flynn will get more of a shot to develop and improve with the heaping spoonful of minutes he’ll get, but I haven’t been that impressed with him and Lawson helps an actually good team, so you could be right.

Add Pendy + Dante if you want. The only difference: Drafting differently in the 2007 draft. Tell me how that is a worse team?

I’m not that into coulda’ shoulda’ woulda’s, and it’s not a fun part of rosterbation for me.
Of course a team that drafts whoever has shown to be the best picks would be great.

I can't worry about this kind of stuff
It requires Portland’s decision making to have 20/20 foresight, while every other GM stays as dumb as they were that night.
Almost everyone would have grabbed Marc Gasol very early in retrospect, and lots of GM’s are kicking themselves now. This argument can be made for lots of teams.
Well, as I have written before, overlooking Marc Gasol is a way worse scouting lapse to me by the collective NBA brain trusts than not deciding to pick say a guy like Blair earlier, or not being able to say that Landry would become a beast despite being undersized. It was so obvious in the world championships that he could see the game and do things in the paint even the top selection of NBA players could not do…
So if you wanted to fill the need “we need a center to anchor the paint, but we also really really like that scoring kid” that might have been a logical conclusion to arrive to.
Well, I don't expect KP to get every single great player
Scouting has limits. I’m simply happy that he has a good scouting team, and doesn’t do things like draft Sebastian Telfair 10 picks too high.
I accept oversights will come up. Scouting only does so much.

he went at it with Kevin Love in the state playoffs. my home town almost won, but in overtime, a missed shot caromed towards Love who threw it up as time expired and it went in. But he battled Love well though. hasn’t worked out in Texas though.

Cousins looks like a huge wildcard
Some GM(s) will look like fools for either passing on him or drafting him.
In 2K10 during the My Player season
The game does “this game, coming up” type graphics and whenever it is Memphis, they use Thabeet and he averages 0.3 points in my game, so it’s “Thabeet versus Kobe, 0.3 vs 25.7” and it is funny.

he seems to me to have pretty good hands and he gets good post position
He’s just very slow and mechanical on the post and his touch on his hook shots is sometimes comically bad.

Here is a theoretical discussion starter: What is typically our problem against good teams?
Apart from having no inside defense right now which hopefully solves itself again next year, I say our problem is the opposing teams get “easy” shots close to the rim, while we get overwhelmingly “hard” shots from further outside. LaMarcus shooting 20 footers, outside shooters scoring on the move, and even Roy not making it up to the rim. This was the big problem against Houston in the playoffs, and it happens over and over again when the Blazers go under against a top team. So what needs to happen?
a) I still think we need to have another slasher. A player like Iggy, Butler, Wallace as a #2 scorer who gets “better” shots is needed. Martell doesn’t get those, Travis doesn’t get those, Rudy doesn’t get those, and Nic at the moment also doesn’t get those consistently. Alternatively a PF who gets shots that are better than those LaMarcus gets, but that is an even harder deal to make.
b) Running more creative offensive schemes, kinda like how Sloan and Adelman and yes even Nellie make players better than they really are. With the Blazers, I always feel our guys have great talent but have to completely rely on it to make highly contested shots when it matters.
Regarding B
I feel like our players (except Roy) are limited by the system instead of enhanced by it. I don’t just mean fewer possessions = fewer stats, but rather Nate has his system and forces the players into roles instead of looking at his players and building a system.
"In Batum's case he must realize he is very likely the first Blazer to successfully fight over a pick all season..."
-Ben
I don’t claim to know a solution, which is the problem. But when is the last time you thought “man tonight we got much better shots against playoff team x”? It rarely happens. Usually we celebrate some wild shot (Roy, Rudy) or amazing individual effort (Miller) that brought the win in those games. Maybe Greg would get some more easy shots too, but he doesn’t seem to be the offensive force that you can completely rely on to win you games so far.
we're a middle of the pack assist team and a low end point in the paint team
We have too much iso and too much dependence on the 3 pointer and the pick and pop. We don’t get easy points because we don’t gameplan to get them.
"In Batum's case he must realize he is very likely the first Blazer to successfully fight over a pick all season..."
-Ben
Greg was an incredibly efficient offensive player who got good shots. A scheme that incorporates him in the post is vital to getting better looks. As raw as some people want to argue he was, he drew double teams most the time, and was good at passing out of them. Putting him in the low block and running cutters off him is how to get some layups.
#52 #10 #25 #7
I think it’s both. Travis and Martell really can’t dribble good enough to be slashers under any scheme. Rudy could in Spain, but on an NBA level it’s not good enough (and in Spain he had tons of off-ball movement and big men setting picks to boost). Nic could develop into one, but I fear we are putting too much on him right now: Please be a point-forward, and a slasher, and hit threes, and defend the best wing on D, and… He has potential and I wouldn’t trade him for just about anyone (Mavs just put that stamp on Beaubois), but he still needs time to develop whereas other guys have proven that potential.
we only need slashers because our scheme is iso. We have a plethora of players that would be tremendous at cutting toward the hoop.
Why trade for someone to make us slightly better this season, and especially a wing?
#52 #10 #25 #7
I mean, considering injuries, our offensive efficiency over the last ten games or so has been simply tremendous. The problem we’re facing is one the defensive end.
#52 #10 #25 #7
Iggy and Wallace would help with both of that, defense and scoring. A guy like Butler or Turkoglu would at least have helped with the scoring part. But yeah, it’s probably a pipe dream. I just fear we need easier points in the worst way to ever make noise in the playoffs, and the guys we have (players and coaches) won’t get that done. Currently I’m wearing my pessimistic future outlook hat regarding the Blazers. “Everything will be smooth sailing once Greg is healthy” doesn’t cut it for me.
this personnel carried a very weak scheme to the best offense in the league. Add in a player with a >60 TS in Greg, and the rest of the roster developing, and I’m not sure we need another high-usage player taking touches from Greg and Brandon, unless it’s someone Chris Bosh-good.
The issue we have is on defense. Offense? We have slashers in Jerryd, Andre and Brandon, shooters in Martell, Travis, Nic, Rudy, and Steve, rebounders in Greg and Joel, mid-range shooters at the 4, an emerging post game… there is a ridiculous assortment of offensive weapons.
We complain about our roster, and most of the league would trade with us. We laud OKC, and they have about 2.5 quality players.
#52 #10 #25 #7
the question is, as always, how many eggs we can afford to throw in the Greg basket
and of course, is Nate the right coach and if not, who is.

I agree strongly with A
Since we don’t fast break, we need some alternatives when we get into the half court. Besides long jumpers.

Gasol's rep during his final season with Memphis was low
I think he is absolutely perfect as a guy next to a star.
LMA had played well against Gasol at that point, but Gasol is clearly better at pretty much everything.
#52
ooh, here's a good one
Gasol is good, but I’d take LMA any day of the week. More range, more potential, more athletic, better defender. Gasol is a great interior passer, and I hope LMA becomes half as good as Gasol at that. I’ve seen Gasol get chewed up by pretty much every PF ever in the history of the world though, and that’s no fun.
To prove I wasn’t always an LA hater, here’s me in the same thread (Aug ’08). I was overrating LA back then also, but at least not to the same degree as you :)
That’s pretty debatable. I think Aldridge will surpass Gasol, potentially as soon as next year, but Pau was better last year.
I agree that Oden is the key though. If he’s dominant, this team will win championships. If he’s just ok, this team will be good but never win a title.

I actually predicted we'd draft Brandon Rush
But I figured Westbrook and Bayless would be gone by then. I didn’t think Alexander was that cool, I figured he was getting attention because he was white and as athletic as a normal black wing athlete.

I was hoping we’d get Westbrook.

There were clips of Alexander where he does everything we hope Travis and Nic to do: Dunk hard on fools, block shots, hit 3s, dribble, … I still think he can be a solid rotation player once the Bucks let him go, but obviously his ceiling has come way down until he proves something.
I never watched him play in games, aside from clips
I watched his scouting try outs stuff, and how he raised through the pre-draft prediction drafts, I was just skeptical… also because I am racist when it is a white guy who is just normal athletically for a NBA wing, but gets overhyped because he’s white.
He just didn’t look like anything special to me, but Jake has mentioned how he carried his team and had a versatile game.

i liked lopez coming out of college
i saw him as a 15 and 10 guy who gets a few blocks. He was my bracket kryptonite though. i always overhyped his team in the ncaa tournament because i thought he would carry them.

It’s a reminder his picks are nothing more than a way to fill a column. I’m fine with that, but he likes to pretend they’re more.
Not sure he was very down on Tyreke, he just doesn’t see him as a PG. He hated the Hasheem Thabeet at #2 pick, and rightly so. Okafor over Howard was dead wrong, but at that time Howard was far from a sure thing. Rather like drafting Bynum out of high school. It’s always hard to say if a player dominating in high school will be good as a pro. Even with 1 year in between it’s sometimes difficult to say, like with DeRozan, Jerryd, Jennings, that kid now playing in Israel, …
4:57: In desperate need of a point guard, Sacramento takes … Tyreke Evans. It’s as if these GMs are trying to hurt me. I feel physically ill.
Tyreke’s weaknesses, according to our ESPN.com Draft Card: “Can be selfish … over-dribbles … lacks consistent range on his jump shot … not a super explosive leaper … poor shot selection.” They left out, “Not a natural point guard,” and “drove a getaway car during a drive-by shooting but was not charged by police.”
4:58: Shaking my head.
4:58: Still shaking my head.
4:58: Bilas loves the pick but says, “He’s a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he’s not a good shooter.” Ball-dominant … isn’t that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?
4:59: Scott on Evans: “His nickname is ‘Hugo’ because he was born during Hurricane Hugo.” That pick was a natural disaster. Literally.
He later backed down after Tyreke was good, but then countered by putting his fingers in his ears and getting to be right by saying he isn’t a point guard.

What he does
Is makes anyone who calls him out for being comedically wrong (like he was with Lebron and Howard, and now Tyreke) feel silly for making a big deal out of him being wrong, and if he is right he really lets everyone know.
He is like a normal fan, but I also don’t pay attention to normal fans.
#52
Normal fans suck
Caring about things other than sports and all that jazz… Pfft..
A positive attitude will not solve all of your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort - Herm Albright
Keep the faith.
he called the pick a natural disaster. Ziller liked the Evans pick, I think. Simmons also hated Jennings, IIRC.
This guy is a fan who is right about half the time and barely acknowledges when he’s wrong.
#52 #10 #25 #7
I'm not sure he disliked Jennings based on his play
It was just hard to take anyone seriously who won’t go to the green room, then when he is picked in the lottery, runs over to the building, to get on stage a few picks later.
That immediately became one of my favorite draft night moments. I also had trouble taking him seriously after that, until his good start.
His trade columns are funnily wrong. The Memphis – Portland deal was about the worst idea ever. I still think there is nothing wrong with seeing the games and procedures like a “super fan” who rather wants to be entertained than assembling the perfect team. That he should not be a GM is out of the question.
Part of the problem
To me anyways, is how he tries to act like he is a real expert now, and not just as a super fan who is opinionated.
#52
I figured they'd take Rubio also
But, he sets himself up to get called out when he goes to such extremes to rip on a player.
It’s part of his schtick, but even when it’s not one of “my” players, I find it annoying.

Were all about how happy he was that Manning was sad.

He's a fan who writes.
I’m not a big fan of his at this point, but I don’t hold his comments to any higher standard than, say, Jessica Simpson.
Manning is a good guy

The end of the Torch Relay kind of revealed
Quote:
Arnold Schwarzenegger will hand the Olympic torch off to Sebastian Coe on Friday morning, the day of the opening ceremony at the Vancouver Games.
The California governor and the two-time Olympic gold medalist runner were revealed Monday as torch relay participants along with several famous Canadians, including the father of hockey great Wayne Gretzky.
“Clearly we want to have a big finish,” said John Furlong, the CEO of the Vancouver organizing committee.
Besides Walter Gretzky, other notable relay runners include astronaut Julie Payette, singer Jann Arden and former hockey player Richard Brodeur.
http://sports.espn.go.com/olympics/winter/2010/news/story?id=4898166
I still think Wayne Gretzky will get the honor of being the final torchbearer.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I hope they have some nice music guests
And a colorful opening ceremony. So far Albertville is still the best one for Winter Games.
They have Cirque du Soleil invovled in the Opening Ceremony
That will be pretty cool by itself.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
You ever been to Cirque in person?
They always swing by the waterfront and it ain’t that expensive to go.
i heard that kooza (this years waterfront show)
is kind of disappointing for a cirque show…yet most cirque shows arent bad (other than the beatles one and criss angel one)

A reason to be happy about the success of "Paranormal Activity"
It submarined the “Saw” franchise, which is likely to end with the upcoming movie.
what does paranormal activity have to do with the saw series?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
hollywood is all about copy cats
saw and hostel and those type of movies were all the rage…then back in the 90s it was all about the wes craven scream/teen horror flicks.

why not blame it on the fantatic mr fox, or any other movie that does well
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
i wouldnt say one movie is responsible for anothers failure
but i think PA’s success indicates that people are tired of excessively violent and gorey movies.

Saw had the Halloween season to itself for years.
It basically brought in guaranteed numbers every October. People stopped programming against it.
This year, Paranormal Activity ran up against it. Saw’s numbers plummeted right from the opening weekend. Suddenly, everyone realized that people were going to Saw purely because nothing else was programmed against it. Saw’s producers saw the writing on the wall, and want to end it before they’re no longer profitable.
low budget, easy to make, handycam thrillers ala paranormal activity and blair witch project will

I don't know if it's officially planned for this fall
But I’m not sure it’ll hold up to a sequel anyway.
In the bigger picture, the problem is that most people were going to Saw by default, and now all the movie studios know those people will go to alternatives. So the writing was on the wall, regardless of what movie it’s against.
I’m just happy I won’t have to see the posters and DVD covers anymore.
Just looked it up
Saw 7 (done desperately in 3D) and Paranormal Activity 2 are both releasing on Oct 22. Bad night for folks who don’t like horror, good weekend for people who like watching movie numbers.
isnt paranormal activity 2
gonna be done by a guy that directed a few saw movies? i think i heard that and if so boo!(not that i saw all of PA or think making a sequel to that type of movie is a good idea)

But anyone here love Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace? It’s one of my favorite shows, only 6 episodes, a comedy from the BBC.
I forget who plays him, but this guy plays a character named Garth Merenghi, who is a hack Dean Koontz type guy, and he is showing a TV show he had in the 1980s that never aired and is only showing now because the BBC has nothing else. It’s real funny.
