Spring Into Junk - March 21st 2010

I dedicate this junk to springtime and the return of the sun.
So yesterday was the official Vernal Equinox this year, which begins spring in the north and autumn in the south.
via d.yimg.com
People gather here to see the shadow of Kukulkcan descend upon Chichén Itzá each Vernal Equinox.
Now, let's talk about the final games of the first weekend of the 2010 NCAA Tourney and find out the futures of at least 2-3 JDers teams, including ms. love's orange [UPDATED: Cuse smashes the Zags and will head to SLC], mr. snake's red [UPDATED: Cornell SMASHES(!!!!) the Badgers and will head to Syracuse (Will Jake and g-love both attend this game?)], and someone's Bears, someone here is attached to Cal right?

Everyone knows the sun only comes out from July to September in Oregon. Meanwhile, I miss the clouds out here.
Wearing the black band for Jarrett Jack, Ime Udoka, Fred Jones, Sergio Rodriguez, Channing Frye, Luke Schenscher, Shavlik Randolph, James Jones, Josh McRoberts, Steven Hill, Jarron Collins, Michael Ruffin, Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw. Sacrificed to the unmerciful god of progress.
But there's never just darkness.
There’s that moon things, though it’s not as bright as the sun. I think they need to get the phosphorous recharged in it or something. And when there’s no clouds, the stars are neat to see. Little tiny suns, hanging just outside the stratosphere. I’d like to catch one some day.

Last week: Quiet week. This week: Crazy week.
Anyone ready to find out, good or bad, what level the Blazers are playing at?
It sure looks that way
But at the same time, a number of teams have worked out their problems on lesser opponents and come back improved.
Though they’ll need to change their lineups again with Rudy out. Martell will likely reappear.
Bayless might pickup some of the slack there also.
He could attack on a game like this and be effective.

I thought we had one more game mid-week.
Oh well, busy as of later this week. ;)
Stupid NBA schedulers.
So...
….Rasheed Wallace at #12 all time (O-live) and Mychal Thompson at #11
I am not sure I agree
Roybot: "Then he said "My girlfriend is from LA." to which I replied "Well then you need to find a new girlfriend."’
At this point, I'm most curious where he'll rank Brandon Roy.
Number two is a reasonable possibility.
1, 2, or 3
Much of it depends on what the committee thinks of Walton …Ring vs Longevity is the key question…it they favor longevity the Clyde gets the nod at #1 and then Roy could climb to #2 (by the same rationale) ..I suspect that it will be this #1 Walton, #2 Clyde, #3 Roy #4 Lucas

I think they'll let that go
In terms of how great a player is, he has to rank with Clyde. Plus he got us a title. But the short amount of time with the team hurts his overall numbers.
I suspect It’ll be 1. Clyde, 2. Bill, 3. Brandon and maybe 4. Terry, but I’m not sure.
I was thinking Luke at #4

I thought they had Sheed pegged in the article though (regardless of ranking)
All the talent in the world but not the drive to be the #1 guy on the team and there was no one else on the team to take that role (Pippen came close but no cigar) . The more I think of it, that Detroit team was probably the only kind of team he could have been really successful with…..bunch of stars, but no superstars and a dominant point.
PS I always had a bit of a soft spot for Zach …because of Rasheed. My biggest disappointment with Sheed was his unwillingness to be the man…of all of Zach’s faults…he was not intimidated by the thought of being the primary scorer (and he would camp on the post to accomplish it) and to be the man

I got a question
Why are the Blazers and Portland so in love with Clyde Drexler? The dude spent most of his career in Portland, then gets traded to Houston, wins a ring, and after his retirement decides he’d rather stick with the Rockets organization. Why show love for a guy that doesn’t show it back?
Odenized
He has many times shown his respect for PDX
plus we take into account that Houston is his home town…born and raised there…so it is understandable that he would continue to reside there

He's from Texas for one thing, so it's not unreasonable for him to want to be there, also if you aren't old enough to remember watching him play
then I’m not sure any explanation can really help you understand what it was like having him on our team. He was a legit all-star who could go toe to toe with anyone in the league, and he was just incredible to watch. He still has some of my favorite dunks of all time, and he more than any other player was an icon of this team. His status in this town is legend.

Solutions to yesterday's junk. Yeah, I didn't just make that stuff up.
Problem 1
Joel is risk-loving (certainty equivalent > to be expected value of his “gamble”). His utility of wealth graph would look something like the picture above. The three-year contract would give him $15 million with 100% certainty (CV2). The expected value of signing the one-year contract and becoming a free agent like he did is: EV (in millions of dollars) = 7 + (.25 × 0) + (.75 × 14) = 7 + 0 + 10.5 = 17.5. If his gamble goes wrong he only makes 7 million (CV1).
Since Joel has chosen an uncertain prospect with an expected value of $17.5 million over the sure $15 million, his certainty equivalent must be greater than $15 million (you would have to give him more of a risk premium). It must also be less than the $21 million he could stand to make if everything turns out right, since it would be irrational to value the risky option higher than the best-case scenario. His certainty equivalent (CE) is somewhere in between those two.
Though this problem (and his love for risk) would be more extreme if his first year contract had a very low value, say 3 million. Then his expected value would be 13.5 million, even lower than the guaranteed three-year contract.
JscotJr was the closest to solving this problem as far as I had seen ;)
Problem 2 "Kevin buying tornado insurance"
Without any insurance, the expected value (EV) of Kevin’s home is: EV = (chance home is destroyed × value if destroyed) + (chance it is unscathed × value if unscathed) = (.01 × $0) + (.99 × $1,000,000) = $990,000.
The maximum someone facing an uncertain prospect is willing to pay for insurance is the difference between the highest amount he will end up with and his certainty equivalent. In this case, that is $1,000,000 – $980,000 (given information) = $20,000.
If Kevin purchases the insurance for $X, he will always have $1,000,000 – $X for certain. If his house is not hit by a tornado, he will retain the $1,000,000 value of the house, but he must pay $X for the insurance premium, leaving him with $10,00,000 – $X. On the other hand, if his house is hit by a tornado, the insurance company will reimburse him $1,000,000. After taking into account the $X premium, he is left with $1,000,000 – $X. Thus, if he buys insurance, he will end up with $1,000,000 – $X for certain, whether or not his house is destroyed.
The fact that Kevin’s certainty equivalent (CE) is $980,000 means that he would be just as happy with $980,000 for sure as he is risking the 1% chance that his house will be destroyed by a tornado. Therefore, if $1,000,000 – $X is greater than $980,000, Kevin will definitely buy the insurance. $1,000,000 – $X will be greater than $980,000 as long as the insurance premium is less than $20,000. So, $20,000 is the maximum he would be willing to pay for insurance.
As for the final part of that question, I have no answer if that will influence his willingness to re-sign in Oklahoma. I think he will.
Problem 3 Michael Jordan
At point A, the MRS = 5. Point A is Jordan’s optimum consumption bundle. At this point his so-called indifference
curve is tangent to the budget constraint. Therefore, at this point the slope of the indifference curve equals the slope of the budget constraint. This slope of the budget constraint is the negative of the price ratio: − Price of basketballs / price of gatorade = − (10/2) = −5.
In words, the marginal (marginal = additional) rate of substitution (Gatorade to basketballs) is the rate at which Jordan is willing to give up x bottles of Gatorade in order to obtain one additional basketball. At point A, he would give up 5 bottles of Gatorade to receive one more basketball.
The statement in part (b) is false. Jordan’s new optimum will never fall between B and C or between F and G because these segments would lie on lower indifference curves than Jordan’s original curve. (And indifference curves cannot cross.) Jordan will always be on the highest indifference curve he can reach given his income and the prices of the two goods. Otherwise he would not optimize his utility (happiness/satisfaction) with his buying decision.

That's funny.
This is already one of the most interesting tourneys in recent memory. I wonder if it will continue to be surprising. A lot of high seeds are entering the fray.
#10 & #52
unfortunately
it seems like the early upsets usually make for less compelling Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games, as order is restored with real authority. Although George Mason was a super-compelling story, top teams playing each other for the right to go to the final four usually leads to more competitive games and higher quality basketball.
Games like Syracuse-Texas in ’03, Gonzaga-UCLA 3 years ago, etc etc.
We’ll see how long these underdogs can keep it up, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kentucky just thrash Cornell, for example.
Yup, that's what I thinking will happen here too.
Still, Kansas going out is strange. They seemed so dominant until the tournament started.

I was actually gonna just shout out to you and ask if you watched it. Yeah, 2 guys go there to avoid football camp.
Andre Miller is an Anachronism
Do those latest developments indicate Kevin knows he's better at building up a team than fine-tuning and sustaining a roster?
Maybe he’s better at conquering new lands than defending old ones. I’m kind of similar in that regard, and get bored rather quickly by the status quo.
Or the working relationship with PA and Vulcan has deteriorated a lot.
Or some members of the media wants people to believe that. But then why doesn’t he tell his agent to shut up, or outright fires him? There’s another heavy hitter in the league representing guys like Nate, Doc Rivers, Eddie Jordan, … who would be surely willing to take KP under contract.
It's possible.
I’m kind of that type of person too. Still, Blake/Outlaw for Camby was a great fine tuning move.
#10 & #52
Who knows?
There’s so much crap floating around, it’s going to take some time to separate fact from fiction (as if we’ll ever find out what’s really happening).
Norsk, have you seen this article? It’s mostly about Lonnie Cooper (who reps AWoj also, by the way) but it talks about LeGarie too. It seems like it’s up your alley.

this has been a good team all year
but these two games were out of nowhere. I’m not even sure we missed a shot all weekend. A good team that had as close to a perfect weekend as any could possibly expect.
I mean:
- Cornell came into the weekend with 0 tournament wins in over 100 years of basketball
- Cornell was 3-63 all time against ranked teams. Now 5-63.
- Neither game was even close. Just total domination. How many 12 seeds have beaten a 5 and a 4 so convincingly?
Still in shock.

we do have a bit of a sob story
In 2006, my last year on campus, a Cornell player (Khaliq Gant) was badly hurt in a practice. They weren’t sure he would walk again. He had a fairly remarkable recovery, and leads a healthy life now, although his playing career ended that day.
The crazy part is that our current C Jeff Foote was then a walk on at St. Bonaventure on an academic scholarship. The nurse at the local hospital that admitted and took care of Gant was Foote’s mother. As legend goes, she was so impressed with the team’s love and support for Gant that she talked Jeff into considering transferring to Cornell. At the time, he was kind of weak and awkward, but 2 years later he’s arguably the best defensive C in the Ivy League since Chris Dudley.

much improved from 2 years ago, but still lanky. He’s very slow and methodical on the block. Can be shut down by a strong 1v1 defender.

actually not quite true
Cornell has I think a 30+ game losing streak to Cuse, but has won there back in the day.
Also, at the beginning of the 2005/2006 season Cornell played a mini tournament there, winning the first round game against St. Francis and then giving Cuse a good game in the finals. This may have happened other times also when Cuse has hosted mini tournaments, I’m not sure.

how do we feel about KP making 800K and the whole Miller/Wark thing?
It’s Vecsey, so there’s obviously a lot of salt to take with the article.
I think we should sign KP longterm and pay him good
Paying him “good” = peanuts compared to NBA player salaries, and he’s more important than most of our guys.
I am not concerned though. Vecsey, same as Canzano, IS NEVER RIGHT. EVER. He’s always always always wrong, incorrect, and playing make-em-ups. It simply can’t be trusted.
#52
Just remember how many times we've read him and scoffed at how out of touch and ludicrous his ideas and reports were
Same thing applies here.
#52
the big revelations to me were that Wark hasn’t been extended in Denver and that KP makes peanuts. The opinion parts are always important to ignore.
I expect KP to be signed and I'd be surprised at anything else
He makes peanuts because he was a super young first time GM. His next contract should be what he’s worth.
#52
Obviously Wark would love to be the Blazers GM
Limitless resources and a strong fanbase and good players… it’s a good gig.
#52
he is the Nuggets’ “quant,” who happens to be the founding father of basketball advanced statistics.
Our guys are just as good, and the Blazers have a number of external consultants who are good. Admittedly I think Warkentien is a better negotiator than KP, especially when it comes to “incentivizing” and little details in contracts. KP is a great player evaluator and motivator, not so much a nitty gritty guy.
George Karl (also a LeGarie client) only got a one-year extension in Denver. Denver seems not to spendy right now.
He splits the market about half with another agent specializing on coaches and league executives. He does have a pretty bad run at the moment. I emailed Ben with some of what I heard, but didn’t get a reply yet. Maybe I won’t.

If the number is correct, it's little compared to what coaches make
And while he maybe doesn’t have the same workload day to day as Nate, I’m sure he does put in his hours during peak times and is just as valuable.
And it somewhat concerns me that nobody has called back the agent so far to tell him to shut up. Sure the agent has to put his client first, but the client also knows how important the whole team atmosphere is. If KP isn’t happy with the work atmosphere anymore, as said elsewhere I could see him quit to start fresh elsewhere since that’s what he did best so far. Nobody will fire him, but he could just walk away.

Will it be a standard plight of the protagonist’s story-arc flick or will you be writing something strange and bizarre?

it’s gonna be a revenge type. really simple, basic “they kill his wife and he kills hundreds of people to get revenge” type of thing. my goal is that it sucks so bad it’s kinda awesome. i’m trying to think up one liners.

Maybe this is dumb advice
Go read some classic scripts or scripts of movies you admire. A lot can be found online.
Familiarize yourself with the basics of 3 act structure.
Keep descriptions as short as possible. It’s part of the challenge. Don’t have too much, if any, camera direction.
GO GET ’EM.
#52
ALSO
Lotsa first time/new writers overly worry about the formatting. Just get a program that formats for you. Doesn’t have to be perfect, just look “right”.
Ya don’t want it to look SILLY, but formatting gets fretted over so much when it’s easily fixable.
#52
i've read several screenplays.
this is mostly just for fun if i actually get around to it so i wouldn’t have much description stuff. it’ll probably just say “they fight” or “he does cool martial arts and kicks their collective butts”.
i’ve never written an actual screenplay though. haha. this is just a wild hair and if it gets me to write something, that would be great.

Witness is very classically constructed, like a Greek drama
Down to “erect something at the mid-point”: He builds a house with the Amish.
the scripts i should read are things like Commanda and random JCVD, Segal, and Chuck Norris movies

I think Commando is online, actually
Something something “Script-o-rama” used to be a good site for scripts.
More “obscure” Chuck Norris movie would be harder… Hmm. One can order any script mostly or go to the writer’s guild and read any script or any version one wants for the most part, but I don’t think it’d be easy to find, say, JCVD’s last 10 straight to video movie scripts online.

i figure mindless action is a good place to start cause you can avoid things like: story, character development, and having a point. as long as it’s all really tongue in cheek. i can’t imagine that any of these types of movies actually look good on the page. it kind of comes down to the direction, dialogue, and how the actors treat it.

My dream is to do an action/revenge movie starring Sabonis
He’d be a guy who has retired from the Cuban mafia in Miami and is working as a cook in a restaurant, just trying to live a quiet life.
But his dumb brother gets in trouble! Gets himself killed! Sabonis has to go back into the life he left behind to get revenge on his brother’s killers.
He used to do missions for Russia and Castro with international basketball as the cover, and still knows the Miami underworld like the back of his hand. He wears tight jeans and murders everyone with a sawed off shotgun.
#52
There's a little more to it than that
But it isn’t a fully developed idea, just a fun dream. He’s gotta be the next best action star.

cause this sets up a good one liner later on when the bad guys try to trick him by “throwing him a curve”. then he can say, “too bad for you, i CAN hit the curve” and then he’ll take out his bat/gun and starting bashing and shooting.

Well, pro bats are made of wood, and don't have tape wrapped around the handle
BUT IF YOU HAD TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE HANDLE it could be covering a button that is the trigger that shoots a bullet out of the end of the bat.
Perhaps once you use it as a gun, it ruins the end of the bat, but it can hold 12 shots and is as accurate as a rifle.
#52
or maybe the knob on the end of the bat can unscrew and come off to reveal the trigger. and the first time it shoots the end of the bat will explode and then the bullets will fly

Yeah, it depends on how you wanna incorporate the bat-gun in the story
One use weapon? Is it a surprise weapon? Does he use it most of the movie? Etc.
#52
surprise weapon for sure. it would be used in the climatic battle, which will occur after the setback in which he either gets in a massive crash or is shot and has to mend himself.

by DrivetheLane on Mar 21, 2010 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions
OR
Perhaps no tape is “needed”.
He can twist the handle of the bat, and pull back, which reveals a hidden trigger and gun mechanics. Reloadable. A hole slides open on the end of the bat.
It doesn’t need to be realistic that such a bat-gun would be mega heavy and not work well as a bat.
#52
oooo, that's a good idea.
this wouldn’t be a bat he would use for games. it would be a special bat hidden in his secret weapons cache stored in his baseball trophy room.

The setup is pure generic action/revenge movie setup
Going back into the life they left behind, avenging a family member, it has likely been done a trillion times.
I don’t remember any specific revenge movie like that for Seagal, though.
#52
The whole "he's a cook" and whatever stuff
Is just filler. It doesn’t really matter. He just has to go deep into the Miami underworld and avenge his brother’s death, doing battle with the powerful forces he used to work for.
#52
exactly. this isn’t a novel concept. but no one makes awesome movies that are just all action with minimal plot. i think it’s because there are no clear cut “bad guys” anymore like they had in the 80s with the Russians. In my mind, Commando is the pinnacle of the “pure action” movie.

It was a similar sort of project that ended up not going anywhere. I wanna watch it and see how similar it is, and then figure out if there was any overlap between people who read my thing and was involved with their thing. Sometimes ideas are just the same.

I’d like to see Bayless do a little reprise of his December appearance vs. the Suns (although he was putrid in his last game there).
Their ‘D’ is pretty bad, so it might be a good night for guys like Rudy and Jerryd, along with Dre.
Some numbers
Reportedly Warriors GM Riley (800k) and Presti (900K) are the LOWEST paid GMs in the league. Presti only took the pay because it enabled him to advance from his job with the Spurs, and the Warriors are stingy. The league average is supposed to be above $1.5 million.
KP is in the bottom 3? What the heck PA?!

That’s just one where he is apologizing Tiger Woods style, though it’s a bit more sincere (and he has an incentive to do so. He might have enough money, but without Sandra he has zero star allure). And photos from their marriage. I didn’t link a picture of the mistress, though I’ve seen one. Funny thing is she was reportedly a medical student before deciding on a different profession. And look.

Nice, I chose to record the game on ESPN and miss 6:30 of the first quarter.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
there's a Nash miss
more of those please, Steve.

yeah but that’s just unfortunate. it’s part of his job to crash the boards too. it’s just something that happens from time to time. it’s plenty annoying when it happens but oh well…..i’d still rather have 2 guys going for the rebound than just one.

Not sure
Nic Batum appears to be completely unaware of his location on the court at all times. It’s like a Zen displacement
I think he he’s a good helpside defender, and knows pretty well when he can leave his man, when to sprint up the floor, …
i don’t think i’d agree with that block quote. knowing your location on the court seems to be a pretty important thing for a good defender doesn’t it? and Batum is pretty universally acknowledged as a good defender….

I get the feeling
our team as currently constituted is not built to handle those kind of defensive wrinkles. LMA doesn’t move the ball fast enough and Roy always ends up in isos.

I mean I agree with him in happy fantasy land. But Nash is not afraid to get fouled and not really afraid to lose control and turn it over, so he will just keep it and dribble unless you double and triple team him. I’ve seen the Hornets and Spurs try that, and he just ran away into the backcourt (he was also one of the first understanding that rule change).
Awful game
Man, Roy looking like Roy last week and then not looking like Roy this week makes me worry. We need Roy to be Roy to do anything.

I know
I just don’t want Denver, they’d kick our ass and I can’t hate them. I can hate Birdman and K Mart but not the rest easily. They’re too good and non-douchey.

I really think that the top 3 teams this year are much, much better than the bottom three in the playoffs
it’s going to be brutal no matter who we play, and it’s not even me trying to hate. We just have not had any kind of normal season and we have done exceptionally well considering, but we have not come any closer to having a defined identity and gameplan than we were when the season started.

I am not sold on Dallas at all
They are bumbling along and don’t appear to be coming together.

The funny thing is that if you throw out the three point attempts, you have a very nice Andre game—7-14 for 20+ and 9 ast. Of course when you shoot 6 shots you have virtually no chance of making, it casts a pall over your performance for good reason.
Blame the coaching staff for telling him to shoot open three's.
He never shot threes under Cheeks. Only half court heaves at the buzzer.

He wasn't shooting open 3's

would it matter if he was open?
The point is he should never take even one

He's a vet
He deserves some leeway.

Two balls placed side by side just barely get stuck at the rim, they won’t go thru.
Not sure why the hoop above is on it’s side?
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
unbelievable

for real though, like I said in the game day thread, Andre Miller is awesome at just good enough. He’s the king of “almost”.

The Blazers PR flacks are good at finding the ray of sunshine on the edge of a dark cloud
Portland’s four turnovers tie a season low (Feb. 23 at New Jersey) and are one more than a franchise low (2/22/91 vs. Phoenix).
Its actually bad tonight
We needed to be more aggressive.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yup
Although Camby now has the ugliest jump shot on the team, it looks like he punches/pushes the ball towards the basket.

Coach Romar says they called Roy the provider because whatever the team needed, he provided.

Why did Batum decide to ballance out his 3 point shooting in 2 games?
Andre Miller is an Anachronism
Who knows?
He didn’t take a lot of shots Friday.

I don't think so, but all his 3's were junk

I guess it's a good thing my DVR didn't record the end of the game
"In Batum's case he must realize he is very likely the first Blazer to successfully fight over a pick all season..."
