What kind of BEdger are you?
I made a quiz to help determine this for you!!!
What Kind of BEdger Are You Quiz? (Must be 18 and over to take Quiz)
I think there are six types according to that quiz but I'm sure there are more...Maybe you guys can help define a list in this junk.
Speaking of which, this might be my last post in a while base on my bet with Tinfail. I do believe in miracles so there's still a great chance I'll stick around to post a JD for every playoff game through the Finals.
go Blazers!!!! down with Seth's Satanic Suns!
peace. stay cool. forever.
- BRP
ps. i like to see the following people make an appearance in this JD for good luck: southern, maidturek, bf1, twiggs, NBF, 4lma, ireallylikejerrdbayless, claire, blazermaniacandy, prez, lizzy, ffa, roodie, s4e, ann, glove, medmelon, amlmart, GOR and whoever else that hasn't been around in a while that i missed...it's DOOOOOOOOOOOO OR DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...step ur gamey game game up

Do you like this story?

Haha, S4E's
…you are the worst kind of BEdger. Your comments are short and fragmented, just like your penis. You are an overly hardcore fan that obsesses about some national writer’s opinion on an opinion. They are looking at ways to soften the definition of a virgin to allow losing your domain to your computer as a rite of passage. You have been banned or warned a few times on BEdge. Dave and Ben really don’t warn you because of the comments but because of you as a person. If the Blazers ever win the title, you are the fan that says you will climb the light pole but don’t. You never get to leave your Mom’s house to join the championship parade because you got lost taking public transit. Any lady that happens to glance your way is "still the one that got away."

Your test is lame...kind of like Blazersedge
Do you still doubt that the team from your area is inferior to the one from mine? Just look at our teams' respective histories. In the past, we have defeated you on any number of occasions. Granted, there were times when your team beat my team, but those were lucky flukes.

Getting the feeling everyone gets that at this point..
You just fantasized about Greg Oden making love to a Unicorn and the outcome was a giant white Alf with a pointed tail.
Is it strange I did imagine that while I was taking the quiz?

YESSS
I am most like MORTIMER.
You think an alternative reality exists, and that you were born in the wrong one. You don’t bleed red, black and silver but you do get the occasional scars. You fantasize about odd things. You just fantasized about Greg Oden making love to a Unicorn and the outcome was a giant white Alf with a pointed tail. You love having sex with your Blazer headband on. The headband is used often for masturbation. You enjoy the company of all BEdgers. You can ignore the evilness around the Blazers because you believe there is no such thing. A true fan of the red, black and silver, no one can question your knowledge but they do question your NBA2k skills compared to the fast fingers of BRP. You are scared to have sex. The last time you had sex, your wife/gf left you. You have and will never sleep with a white girl. Your taste in black women is top notch. A lady like 80s Whitney Houston is “still the one that got away.”
It is almost correct—
Never dug Whitney Houston
I’ve “done it” with plenty of whiteys
Ain’t no one left me last time I did it.
I ain’t hung up on any SEX issues, that ain’t a problem.
#52
wow really?
Never dug Whitney Houston
I’ve "done it" with plenty of whiteys
Ain’t no one left me last time I did it.
I ain’t hung up on any SEX issues, that ain’t a problem.

me and Mortlic. are alike! It’s because he’s secretly a ginger.

I got freckles on my forehead
Especially where I used to have hair. And some on my arm.
None anywhere else.
#52
I'll tell ya one thing I am hung up on
Since BRP is the love doctor, and good at this stuff…
I really don’t want a girlfriend/relationship, but I am getting pulled and pressured into them by lovely ladies I do like… but I don’t wanna date ‘em for realsies. But I know they wanna date me for realsies. And I like them as people so I don’t wanna jerk ’em around.
#52
that’s a tough one…
but you just gotta tell them that. and the sucky part of telling them that, is that they will see it as a challenge.
double edge sword.
it hasn’t been a year right? so nothing wrong with you…you doing the right thing. just keep it straight with them…and you never know, things will fall in the right places…and it could be one of these hobos you picked up on the corner of melrose
fiftytwo
Oh, haha, I got married a year ago
The divorce isn’t finalized till 6 months after everything was filed. That was around the New Year sometime dunno exact date.
#52
And I should add a disclaimer
I didn’t sleep with any whiteys because I wanted to, you’re basically forced to in this world. It’s pathetic. They are everywhere, like cockroaches.
#52
I am trying to avoid breaking it down since I like 'em as friends and things will get weird
And 2 of them I have a working relationship that I would like to keep “good”.
Whatever happens, happens… all I know is what I need to make sure I do is stay out of a relationship. A realsies one anyways.
#52
eventually, you will need to just be direct and tell them you are not ready to date for a while. they will understand and respect it. esp if you are getting vibes, you gotta have that conversation. just make sure you get the sex out of the way first…they want it just as fun as much as you do
fiftytwo
texting works in that scenario.
“God, i love hanging out with you, but i’m just not ready…i mean, i still have the pic of my wife in my room for God sakes”
fiftytwo
Hahaha
You know where I did have a picture I just threw out? In my damn wallet, carried on me everywhere I go. Talk about unlucky! I cleaned out my wallet and went “what the H, why do I got this?!”
#52
Indifferent I guess-- I thought it was funny
I am not really reactionary about that stuff. I just clean everything out and, for the most part, move on.
The only thing that bugs me about the divorce, and her, is that it is sad and I feel bad for her. And do the obvious thing of wishing I didn’t waste those years.
#52
yeah, pretty normal. seems like you still have the same feelings of supporting her (feel bad for her) as when you were married.
but you got to remember, she made that part of her decision, so the last thing is for you to feel bad for her. it’s like feeling sorry for someone who doesn’t feel sorry for themselves.
but you already know that. good thing is that you can focus on doing what you do, and the ladies will still be in line when you are done and ready doing it. but just keep them straight…being direct is always better, especially with friends
fiftytwo
Yup, o' course.
I know I’m a softie for people with problems, so I know that’s all it is.
I’m not that worried about the current ladies… it’s a silly “problem” to have. WHY DO THESE GIRLS LIKE ME, LEAVE ME ALONE. They’re all cool so it’’ll be okay.

You just have to drink and all these beauties won´t stalk you anymore.

EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Where's my booze?
"[S]ince men enjoyed very great leisure, they used it to pursue many kinds of commodities unknown to their fathers, and that was that first yoke they placed upon themselves without thinking about it, and the first source of evils the prepared for their descendants. For, besides continuing thus to soften body and mind, as these commodities had lost almost all their pleasantness through habit, and as they had at the same time degenerated into true needs, being deprived of them became much more cruel than possessing them was sweet; and people were unhappy to lose them without being happy to have them." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
And it's more about wanting time to focus and work on what I need to work on
Over being hung up on the old wifey person…
Just don’t wanna deal with a girlfriend that I gotta call, take on dates, all that kind of stuff. I like not having to call anyone. It is bliss.
#52
explain to the dates?
nah. just tell them you don’t want to get in a relationship. that should be all you need to say. and if they respond for more, then you know you can’t even be friends with them
fiftytwo
I mean, explain my attitude and feelings on dating right now.
I already know what I’ll tell the dames if it comes to that… blabbity bloobity, don’t feel like I can be in a relationship, like them a lot as friends but just not in a position to go further, bluh bluh bluh and then they’ll be hurt and think I’m lying and then everything is weird from then on.
It’ll be fun.
I’d hope they understand, and I hope when I break it down it doesn’t read as me blowing them off. Cause it ain’t like that, but I know someone can feel like that because they are people.
#52
It's like telling someone "it isn't you, it's me"... no one ever believes that.
It sounds like a line. So I just gotta hope I don’t say anything that sounds like a line.
#52
yeah totally, but it’s different in your case.
a divorcee is a big target as well as someone that gets more of a benefit of the doubt.
so some will feel taken advantage of but most will understand.
with powers comes responsibilities
fiftytwo
haha I may be “most like Mortimer” but I definitely do not have this problem. Sadly it looks like I’ve got some S4E in me also, at least based on the descriptions.
You could have the problem if ya want it!
I ain’t very good looking, if a lady likes me it’s cause she got to know me. And because I at least appear confident in myself.
You could totally do that, easy.
#52
Just to clear the air

tominhawaii's Result: Most Similar to Broyposse (the Notorious BRP)
…you are the best kind of BEdger. Half fan, half human. You love all BEdgers and are immune to the petty Seth Pollack Banned My Heart conversations. You make BEdgers useful in pre and post Blazer games. You are clearly the most knowledgeable of all Blazer fans through a variety of experience and analysis. You have inside sources that make you loyal to a fault. You can date a variety of ladies with your blasian penis. You have an allergy to boredom and an itch for adventure, a desire to try anything once. Even if things do tend to get zany with you around, you’re an entertaining and welcome presence nonetheless. The Blazer is your downtime. Right now, the world is going at your pace, and eternity belongs in your soul. You favor colored BEdgers on your best days. Gingers everywhere fear the day the video of your skills come out as proof to your beastness. A lady like a brown version of Rachel Wiesz is “still the one that got away.”
I think some answers were meant for me but I didn't pick them
I don’t regret hating the starting point guard. My only regret is that I am no longer allowed to do it at a championship level.
dang, you smart…i put some trick ones in there to see if you pick the wrong route but you outsmarted the quizzinator
fiftytwo
That might be the only one that I thought was for me that I didn't answer
I don’t think I’ll ever like the current Blazers starting point guard. He’d have to help them win a championship for that to happen.
Reading the descriptions
I am much more like you than anyone else.

You omitted any questions about banning people for fun and profit… lots of profit. But only if you count the extortion.

You are an illegal immigrant that sneaks into US American blogs to see if you can convince someone to green card you. Eventually, you became a fan of the Blazers. You generally don’t like Moms and their kid glove approach to raising kids. You want kids to be able to grow up knowing how to disable a land mine without asking their Mom. You speak multiple languages and think 90% of BEdgers are stupid. You are willing to kill people if they answer incorrectly in their TOEFL. You don’t understand why seeing GO nude is such a big deal. Right now, your wanker is exposed at some discotech while you are using a glowstick to read and post a link on BEdge. A lady like the young version of Jerry Hall is “still the one that got away.”

appel82’s Result: Most Similar to BlazerFan1
BlazerFan1…You are one sexy and bitchy BEdger. Your securities create insecurities that you are unaware of. The world will never be right. You hate most Blazer fans because they don’t have the same passion and smooth skin. If you were a man, you would build and run a male prison and make everyone watch Jarret Jack run out of bounds on loop in a holding cell. In your bedroom, you have a whip and a white mask. You make your lover make you a sammich before he ties himself up. When you put on the mask, the song “Apologize” automatically comes on and you do a little dance move like the Jabbawockeez. Contrary to what people believe, when in person, you like to hug after you yell at them. You typically roll around with one friend from a different ethnic group to make sure the world knows a walking melting pot when they see one. A guy like Don Cheadle but not as dark is “still the one that got away”

Neither can guard Greg Oden.
Only Greg Oden can guard Greg Oden, I just wish he’d stop doing such a good job next year.
"[S]ince men enjoyed very great leisure, they used it to pursue many kinds of commodities unknown to their fathers, and that was that first yoke they placed upon themselves without thinking about it, and the first source of evils the prepared for their descendants. For, besides continuing thus to soften body and mind, as these commodities had lost almost all their pleasantness through habit, and as they had at the same time degenerated into true needs, being deprived of them became much more cruel than possessing them was sweet; and people were unhappy to lose them without being happy to have them." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In that podcast, they also sounded like Noah should have been picked above Oden
Head to head stats disagree about that. Oden owned Noah. Then again, Noah has contributed nicely to his team the past two years and will be a solid guy who cares. But I rather have a healthy Oden.
Oden treated Noah like a rag doll.

Yeah, but he moves smoothly up and down the court and plays with passion ;)
Simmons’ scouting criteria #1 for a big man. The only positive from that part of the conversation was that they seemed to have soured on Bynum also a bit.
and he put Durant ahead of Howard… does he just not understand the center position?

It's rather funny that he wrote a column recently on advanced stats on baseball.
But he seems to ignore it on basketball side besides PER. Then again, I am going solely by his columns since I don’t listen to his annoying webcasts.

At some point you have to wonder how he squares his opinions about our players with the fact that we’re way better than the Bulls. If Noah has a better future than Oden (which he might + Oden hasn’t played much this year) and Rose is a top 10-15 player (Simmons seems to think he’s almost as good as Roy), and LaMarcus is way overpaid at 12 mil/yr who else do we have? And why did we win 50 games and get the 6th seed in the West while they barely made the playoffs in the east? Martell Webster?
he would put all the blame on Vinny.

Meh
Kobe will be a year older next year and Bosh is more Robin than Batman. Even though Bosh is better, it won’t make the Lakers any better.
no way
they may have gotten older, but their window is still wide open if this were to happen. Pau is already much better than LA…and Bosh is better than Pau.

Bosh and Pau can’t win without Kobe. Instead of being two Robin’s they would be like the Wonder Twins. The Wonder Twins are pretty useless without the Super Friends.

are still a better big 3 than bostons when they won

debatable
KG was the best defender in the league the year they won. Bosh and Pau don’t compare on that end of the floor—arguably they would be giving up their most important defensive presence in Bynum and replacing him with a worse defender.
Of course their offense would be scary with those weapons.
That's my thing
I think LA would have swept OKC if they would have gone early and often to their post players. That doesn’t happen with Kobe. If he’s not 90-100%, then they’ll lose because of Kobe.

No, not crazy St. Alia of the Knife. I am in complete possession of my wits. The only voice in my head is the one complaining that I’m at work and not a bar revving up for the game. I do enjoy spices, however.
I don't think they would want LA
part of the incentive to get Bynum is to get a real C so Bargnani can play PF.
The salaries don’t really match. I wonder who else LA would be throwing in to make it work.
Bosh/Odom/Gasol is quite the crew there indeed. We need a healthy Oden, then they wouldn’t have an answer…
They could throw in The Machine
or since Bosh is going to be a free agent he could take on a salary as part of the sign-and-trade that would make the deal work.
maybe the machine
or since Bosh is going to be a free agent he could take on a salary as part of the sign-and-trade that would make the deal work.
Isn’t there a league rule about salary increases which would prevent Bosh from making as much money as he wants over the years of his contract if he started at Bynum’s pay grade?
He wouldn't maximize the value of the contract he if took that approach
but if he is really serious about winning, he could decide that is something that he is willing to do.
I question LA giving up their prized center, Bosh wanting to be a third fiddle, and the notion that the teams have already decided upon a deal.

bad refereeing happens
I think the talk about the games being “rigged” is incorrect. The refs are not great, and the guidelines need to be altered, but I don’t think the games are rigged. It’s kind of weird that there’s a perception that NBA games are rigged when you have stuff like at 5:11 of this video where the guy’s off arm is clearly on the ground at the same time as the ball is coming out, and yet they look at the play for a minute and reverse the call.
i think “rigged” and extremely poorly officiated are not the same things, although any sort of suspected malfeasance could absolutely be a factor. But even if there was no criminal activity, i think with as much money as involved, it is not out of the realm of possibility that the league encourages officials to affect the game in one way. Now, in addition to that, there is also incompetence. it is very likely some of these officials are just flat out bad at their jobs, and that should be addressed as well.
so, sure, probably they aren’t rigged (even though i believe it is possible) and probably there isn’t any criminal activity (although i believe there was, at least at one time). it probably does all get chalked up to incompetence.
BUT, when there are that many factors all of which are legitimate, and NOTHING ever happens to correct an obviously broken product, it makes you wonder……
so, in my mind, if something like the Donaghy scandal doesn’t make them look in to all the possible reasons for poor officiating that disillusions fans, then what will? cause God knows that Stern enforcing hush money fines on players and coaches so they don’t make “corrosive” comments that are already in the thoughts of most fans won’t work.
...when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious [stuff].
by DrivetheLane on Apr 29, 2010 9:18 AM PDT up reply actions
1) The difficulty is that solving the incompetence (and thus the perception of corruption) is more difficult than it appears. The only thing they can do is create more referee training programs to bring up more young refs and put pressure on the older refs, who suck a lot of time. I don’t think this is going to change perceptions, at least for a while. They could also change guidelines some, which might help. I’m not sure, but I don’t think it would change the perception that it is fixed, b/c as long as incompetence exists there will be a perception of malfeasance.
2) I agree with you that fining people for relatively tame comments is the wrong approach. I don’t understand why they are going that way, because that does not help perceptions.
3) My primary point is that I believe the NBA is unfairly singled out as a sport that is rigged in the popular eye. The NBA is by far the most difficult of the major American sports to officiate, so that might be it. Soccer is the sport that is most comparable in difficulty to officiate, and as someone who watches a lot of soccer, I don’t really think the refs are any better in Europe than they are in American basketball.
I would submit that the NFL also frequently has blown calls (my Vikings PI call vs. the Saints comes to mind), but nobody thinks of it as a conspiracy driven sport. This is also because a lot of the judgment calls in the NFL happen in the trenches, away from the ball. If fans could see every holding call/no call in a football game, they would probably have a different perception of NFL officiating.
i don’t agree about training programs. the problem is one of transparency and accountability. the refs have no obvious repercussions when they screw up. i think what should happen is that the officials should be open to the press and have to answer for bad calls. J. Crawford, for instance, should have had to sit in front of the press, been shown a video of that call on Camby, and explain why he did what he did and answer questions. and if the NBA says he was wrong, they need to come out and say, “crawford messed up. he’s gonna be fined. he has to sit out a game.” or something. Of course, i understand that with the officials travel schedule, having to do press conferences after games is problematic. but if Stern cares that much about his game, I think it’s something that could be worked out.
For instance, have groups of officials ref in a certain region for a month, then rotate groups. if every crew is always working together, that would help greatly with communication and knowing what the other refs are looking at. you rotate crews so refs don’t get too much in to nepotism than they already are. then in the playoffs, you take the leaders from each crew and they work ONE series. same group of refs for every game in a series.
i think if the fans knew the refs had to answer for their incompetence, that would go a long way. but when it appears that they can do whatever they want and the league backs them, of course fans will continue to think something is up.
i do agree that the NBA is the hardest sport to officiate.

yeah….but how’s that different from having different blow-holes for every game.
and if players knew they were gonna have to see the same officials for a 7 game series, perhaps they’d be a little more cordial. also, if refs have to see the same players over and over again, they’ll be more used to tendencies and probably the calls will get better as a series progresses.
now, there is the problem of personal vendettas, but i think those are somewhat few and far between and could be easily avoided.
i’d rather see the same officials all the time. cause that means that players, coaches, fans know what they’re getting and can adjust accordingly.

true, but the hope would be that if the same refs are gonna be there, the coaches could communicate with them better and address concerns. as it is, they just have to go to the media and make veiled comments and hope for the best. they’re speaking to vapor, pretty much, right now. actually knowing who you can address is a powerful thing.
besides, as it is now, isn’t is possible the officials already know (ie have been told) how to all the series?

right i get that. what i’m not sure about is why you think all the stuff i’ve been saying would encourage more of that.
if communication is better between teams and officials, if officials know they are going to be held accountable by someone (be it press, a third party, whatever), if officials are going to be better acquainted to the games and the players they’re officiating, i think that there will be less of the “home court gets the calls” nonsense and the officiating will be better. it’s not one thing that will change that, it’s all of the things combined.

Yeah, I agree that the league should hold refs accountable publicly for egregious mistakes. But where’s the line? They came out and said the refs missed a call on Durant, and we said it was selective enforcement (which it was). How is the determination to criticize a ref over a call (assuming it can’t just be wrong, it has to be egregious), any less subjective than the calls themselves? You would have to question the Camby/Nash call → was the fact that he called a foul for the contact on Hill egregious to warrant a public dressing down? Or is the fact that he sent the wrong guy to the line that serious an offense?
moving screen on Hill anyway :0

it would be a mess if fans were given excuses after every loss in the form of a ref evaluation. We would only hear comments about refereeing, and it would sap the league. Clean way to handle this is to completely outsource it and make sure there’s no inherent bias. Problems solved.

Until David Stern no longer controls the refs and their pay, conspiracy theories will be everywhere
And honestly, thanks to how Stern is handling it, some of those theories can look realistic, sadly.
yeah, it probably would open a can of worms. but every change does.
i think it’s more about being accountable to fans. but all fans really have is the media…..which is a problem. fans across the league don’t like officiating. and it shouldn’t be that hard to do something to make the officiating more transparent and accessible for fans. as it is now, fans see their teams get screwed and then get the finger from the league, pretty much.

an independent source should govern the officiating. that independent force should make it known to the public how they are governing them. opening the refs to the media is just a way to bridge the gap between the officials and the public and help better the perception of the officials in the public eye. AS LONG AS the officials are being held accountable and can’t get away with easy, milqutoast, generic answers; which the governing board would make possible due to the release of evaluations and standards.

Martin’s contract is up next year, and he’s their best defensive player when healthy, and they need to start grooming a replacement for Billups. The original plan I think was to build around Melo and Nene, but Nene is sort of inconsistent and could be seriously hurt again. There are dark clouds on the horizon for that franchise.
weird that last year might end up being their best year.
Not to make light of his injury, I think it’s awful… but man, the division sets up for us nicely next year, with Denver hurt and Utah potentially losing Boozer.

a) Phil Jackson leaves the sinking ship in LA to go coach the Bulls or Knicks. Wherever the most superstars unite.
b) Nate leaves the Blazers to become the new coach of the Lakers (secret dream)
c) Doc Rivers leaves the Celtics to coach the Blazers. He brings Thibodeau with him.

I don’t think it’s a real improvement. It’s just something that came to my mind could happen when Simmons started talking about Jackson on the move again (and that is not terribly likely). I bet Nate coaches the Lakers at some point in his career, possibly as his direct replacement. And Rivers could be the kind of guy who the Vulcans like.

You are a witty and sarcastic BEdger. You have a serious side but it only shows to your detriment. You are conflicted. You need to shave. You have fantastic taste in women and would order a fat induced triple pump vanilla latte just so you can see the sexy barista do three pumping motion while you imagine her masturbating to the store exclusive music of Jacob Dylan. The last time you farted in public was five minutes ago. You hate 90% of all BEdgers. The reason you go on BEdge is because there is nothing else shitty to do at work. You tolerate BEdge because you can’t tolerate the cube lady that comes over and adjust her maxi pad in mid conversation. You might have slept with a 3 in your past and enjoyed it. A lady like Lynda Carter is “still the one that got away.”

I’m going back to England on Sunday actually, time flies by so quickly but I have already decided to return on my year abroad. I have never been to such an intensely amazing place before and I still have a lot left I want to do here.
The weather is pretty amazing right now, experiencing highs of about 36 and lows of about 20 at night, I’m going to suffer at home, it’s going to be like the Arctic.

Oden said he is not doing any cardio for rehabilitation right now. Muscle work is it.
Oden said there is no timeframe for his return, but he does expect to be ready for 2010-11 training camp.
Oden said he plans to do most of his rehabilitation in Indiana this summer.
Oden said team gave him OK to take a break from rehab, return to Indiana and “clear his head.”

i actually just don’t think it’s worth discussing.
suffice it to say that as people grow up, they face a lot of criticism from outside and from within, just as Phil said, and part of growing up is dealing with that. and when someone has both had a lot of time to have dealt with that and has dealt with the same situation before, yet is still saying “i have to clear my head” that indicates something.

The best solution is probably just to never say anything that would communicate any semblance of mental weakness. Greg might just be a bit too honest.
possible. or just explain what “clear your head” means. if it means, take a vacation, then that’s fine. but without context, given what we’ve seen and heard about him before, what Phil is arguing has a lot of validity in my opinion.

but doesn’t his first rehab give him the benefit of the doubt to an extent? We know he handled that professionally—he came back and wasn’t sharp and explosive the first year (but that’s typical with MF), but with a lot of work he came back this fall in great shape and with an improved game.
yeah, i could give him a break on it for the first rehab. but like Sophia said, he’s had all year to get his head right…..especially considering he’s gone through this before he shouldn’t still be at that point, in my opinion.

Pish posh
You’re reading too much into the phrase. I use those words when I need vacation or want to veg out.
its totally acceptable
to read into that phrase when considering his history of self doubt, frustration, and at times lack of desire (when he had to find how to have fun playing ball again). its not the first time his mental toughness has been questioned, and like cab said its documented that hes seen a psychologist.

I don’t doubt this, and if he is lacking confidence for some reason, I don’t see why it’s a bad idea to “clear his head.”
its not
i didnt even say it was bad…just said that he should learn to deal with it and learn how to cope. gregs pretty young and hasnt had a lot of life experience…just like everyone else, i suspect greg will mature with time and learn how to deal with whatever he is having to deal with. whether that is his own high expectations or pressure from others.

i said it
and its not an insult. its just that no one will feel pity for greg, me, you, or anyone else, so its probably best to just get over it. life is tough for everyone, and when you think that you’ve had life pretty rough, the person next to you probably has it worse. once you realize that your problems are pretty minimal compared to others you begin to see the bigger picture in life. in the end greg plays a game, and we discuss a game that pretty much distracts us from the boredom of daily life. i dont wanna turn this into a canzano human interest topic, so i’ll just end it at that.

on quiz: What Kind of BEdger Are You?
BlazerFan1…You are one sexy and bitchy BEdger. Your securities create insecurities that you are unaware of. The world will never be right. You hate most Blazer fans because they don’t have the same passion and smooth skin. If you were a man, you would build and run a male prison and make everyone watch Jarret Jack run out of bounds on loop in a holding cell. In your bedroom, you have a whip and a white mask. You make your lover make you a sammich before he ties himself up. When you put on the mask, the song “Apologize” automatically comes on and you do a little dance move like the Jabbawockeez. Contrary to what people believe, when in person, you like to hug after you yell at them. You typically roll around with one friend from a different ethnic group to make sure the world knows a walking melting pot when they see one. A guy like Don Cheadle but not as dark is “still the one that got away”

WORD ON THE STREET IS NIKI MINAJ USED TO BE A LESBIEN
.You think an alternative reality exists, and that you were born in the wrong one. You don’t bleed red, black and silver but you do get the occasional scars. You fantasize about odd things. You just fantasized about Greg Oden making love to a Unicorn and the outcome was a giant white Alf with a pointed tail. You love having sex with your Blazer headband on. The headband is used often for masturbation. You enjoy the company of all BEdgers. You can ignore the evilness around the Blazers because you believe there is no such thing. A true fan of the red, black and silver, no one can question your knowledge but they do question your NBA2k skills compared to the fast fingers of BRP. You are scared to have sex. The last time you had sex, your wife/gf left you. You have and will never sleep with a white girl. Your taste in black women is top notch. A lady like 80s Whitney Houston is “still the one that got away.”

So far, the Netbook Edition is outstanding. I’ll try the others later.

You can definitely use either.
The nice part about the dedicated Netbook edition is that it changes the shell, using a full-screen, made for netbook resolution application launcher. It also is a smaller footprint, made for a lower-power processors. You can still get to command line, and can still install other apps as needed.
It’s a very clean, easy interface. I use full ubuntu when I have a higher resolution screen and a powerful machine. But for a 10 inch netbook screen, I’ve found the Netbook Edition works very well so far.
If you like doing lots of customization, the full version is still the way to go.

Ahhhh good question.
The short answer is that no, you can’t install Windows programs on Linux. (You actually can run a lot of them, but it takes a level of technical knowledge that makes it often not worth the trouble).
That being said, a number of of windows programs are not windows-only programs. Linux has Adobe Flash running fine, there are lots of MP3 taggers, and while I’m sure there is a tversity equivalent, I bet it’s not as easy to use.
So for a transition to Windows, I’d say it’s not worth it. It may be worth the trouble later, as they continue to improve.
so...
i guess what is the reason people use it?

Stability, security, speed, price.
Linux wins on all those points. But they’re behind on customer support, technical expertise needed, and the number of applications available.
For example, they have alternatives to things like photoshop that are very good, but not as full-featured (since they’re free).
But it’s free, stable, fast, and pretty secure. I use Windows, Linux and Mac for different purposes, so those features can be very useful.
Ask me later if you'd like to try it out.
It’s not a slick as Windows, but it does a pretty good job.
If you want to just try it out, you can download the CD, burn it, and boot it
It’ll boot into a fully usable Ubuntu OS, just off the CD, so you can try it out.

This doesn't apply to everyone
But there is a strong correlation between the posters who have obvious mental weakness themselves, and those who harp on Greg’s mental state.
I don’t like saying something like this, but it seems pretty hypocritical for some mentally weak fans to be nitpicking a few quotes and thinking you know how someone else should be thinking and feeling about their situation. I am positive most people would crumble under the weight of high expectations and not being able to meet them because of injury… since so many seem to crumble and can’t handle lesser problems… without millions of people knowing and harping on those failures.
I wish there was more info and known activity on the different body tests that they should be doing for Oden, and I wonder if strengthening different parts of the legs would have prevented the kneecap, or what or what or what… I dunno.
He’s a player, a very important one, so we worry about how he’ll come back, is he ready, etc. I get that. That is understandable. We did the same thing last season, when he went home to get his mind right and wanted to do school. Well, that worked out fine. He trained, got in shape, and came back and played very well. His body and his coming back to play is all that really matters; whatever works, works.
Oden is too honest for his own good, and too smart sometimes. He is his own person. Hope his body gets right, the rest will follow… because he’s really damn good when he is on the court.
His head will never fit the prototypical stock athlete mind, but his mind isn’t the problem (despite what some seem to harp on). It’s his injuries. His brain ain’t keeping him out of games.

I'd want to be away from most of it too, except these last few and maybe future games
Going to the arena just to watch the game from the training room would be lame; especially since my priority should be getting healthy and ready for next season.
Once I realized almost everyone here was wrong, I stopped caring about their opinions
They are still entitled to their opinions, and sometimes they are entertaining to read, but in the end, they are still wrong.

Of course not
His head will never fit the prototypical stock athlete mind, but his mind isn’t the problem (despite what some seem to harp on). It’s his injuries. His brain ain’t keeping him out of games.

i was talking about this part
But there is a strong correlation between the posters who have obvious mental weakness themselves, and those who harp on Greg’s mental state.
I don’t like saying something like this, but it seems pretty hypocritical for some mentally weak fans to be nitpicking a few quotes and thinking you know how someone else should be thinking and feeling about their situation

Yeah, I get what you were mentioning
And I was saying it isn’t the entire point.
I do feel MOST (not all… it is never ALL) people who think they know how Oden should be feeling and thinking about everything, suffer from a severe lack of mental strength of their own and they are possibly projecting that weakness (and their dislike of their own weakness, either known or subconsciously) onto Oden.
#52
most things that people complain about are things they don't like about themselves
i hate blewish men for example.
Yeah, ain't that the truth
That was a big revelation for me. I wish I’d learned it earlier in my life and shut up more.
how is saying something like this any different than what people have said about Oden?
does making this comment mean you’re mentally weak, appel? or does morty making his statement mean he’s mentally weak for claiming other people are?

Overall, the problem with Oden isn't his brain or his outlook on things

i don’t know what kind of person you are as it concerns these things, but have you ever felt really down about something? when you did, did you feel like doing anything? or did you just want to sit around and do nothing at all and just feel glum?
IF oden has some sort of mental thing where he continues to feel down, he probably doesn’t feel much like doing his rehab. i bet he’s pretty sick of it by now. and maybe he has reason to be. but when your in that position, you can’t afford to “sick of it”. you have to do it cause it’s your job.
poor mental health is an ailment in and of itself.

There's been no reports he hasn't been doing his rehab
He did it last year, he did it before his rookie year, he’s doing it now by all reports.
Of COURSE poor mental health is an ailment. I am saying, it is silly to think he has poor mental health INHERENTLY. And that his mind is holding him back when it is so clear it’s his injuries.
How I react to problems isn’t how I expect Oden to react to problems… I don’t know him like that. But BEFORE, he clearly worked hard on his rehab and I don’t see how we can think it is different now. There’s much more evidence, from before and now, that he is working on his rehab AGAIN, and much less that his mental state is slowing him down somehow.

Let's say he is down now
How is it a real problem?
He is reportedly doing the work, all that matters is coming back healthy for next season… since he did a great job getting ready for this season, he can do what he needs to do. I seriously doubt he ain’t gonna be working hard all summer. It would be the first time he hasn’t.
#52
the hard work thing is sooo selective
nobody got on Rudy’s case for not learning to dribble a basketball over the summer, until it became clear it was a liability this year. Nobody gets on LaMarcus’s case for not working on his post footwork or dribble drive game until those limitations become apparent in games. Yet it’s OK to rag on Greg’s workout regimen when everything he’s shown on the court indicates he might be our second best player even without any improvements?
AND that he clearly worked hard on his game?
I mean, if there is one guy we could clearly see worked hard on his game (post moves, blocking more shots, etc) it was Oden.
#52
it probably isn’t a problem. and we won’t know if it is until we see how he comes back next season. but, assuming he is down and continues to be, it is at least an indicator of something…..i don’t know what necessarily, but it’s something.

Do YOU, DTL, think Oden's mental state is the actual problem?
If so, how?
He is injured. If he ain’t injured, he is playing.
Seems like him appearing down is caused by injuries. Therefore, injuries be the problem. No injuries, he’s playing ball.
I don’t get what you mean, at all.
#52
i think it is very possible his mental state can impede his rehab. yes, injuries come first, but to discount possible mental “problems” (for lack of a better word) is kinda silly. if he continues to need to “clear his head” or be a little down all the time or whatever, of course that could impede his rehab and his return to the court, thus making it a problem. not the only problem, not the first problem, but a problem.
i don’t know one way or another what is or isn’t up with Greg Oden. but, based on his comments, i’m not going to completely discount the possibility that he’s got lingering mental stuff going on.
...when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious [stuff].
by DrivetheLane on Apr 29, 2010 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions
I would assume he has mental stuff going on
He’s too young and too smart and too much bad stuff has happened to NOT have mental problems going on.
I am saying, the mental problems are not a problem, but a normal thing that is to be expected… and likely caused by the bad stuff (like injuries) happening.
If he ain’t hurt, and he is playing (and when he plays, he has been quite good) I doubt he’s a gloomy gus about being hurt.
The problem isn’t that he is having mental issues, it’s acting like he isn’t allowed to have them or they are obviously hurting him. He is well within the normal range for rehab for his kneecap being broken, it ain’t like he’s dragging it out.
#52
Oden said team gave him OK to take a break from rehab, return to Indiana and "clear his head."
even though the team gave him an ok….. this looks a lot like “dragging it out” to me.

Well, taking what you wrote from up above
You claimed that when you felt down about something, you didn’t feel like doing anything (when really down, I think you said). Then you said that could be what Oden is doing.
That is projecting. That’s exactly what I am talking about.
That is taking how you approach something mentally and assuming, or reading into it, that Oden is doing the same. Whether it is seen as a weakness or not to shut down when down isn’t my point, really— it’s that people are projecting their own behavior onto Oden.
#52
if referred to myself i didn’t mean to. although it is true that is how i react. but i’ve observed that behavior in many other people aside from myself. not being motivated to do anything is an extremely common trait in those that have “the blues”

But, it isn't how all react to the blues
Therefore, assuming Oden is doing that, is projecting.
I have NO idea how Oden reacts to the blues, but we DO know he has worked very hard to recover from his 2 lengthy injuries and over the summer to improve his game.
I also think it’s clear he was down before… if he was able to work through the down feelings before, I don’t think it’s a good assumption that this time he won’t, ya know?

i think that line of thought is incredibly presumptuous and off base. you don’t really have any idea what people’s mental states are or aren’t. i thought the only reason you said that is because we don’t know what Oden’s is either and were trying to make a point rather than saying that because you actually believe it.
i think some people might talk about what they think Oden might be going through and where his head is at because they’re speaking from personal experience, which does not in any way reflect their mental strength or weakness, just that they can possibly understand a little bit of what Oden might be going through. but to say that those speculating are mentally weak isn’t anywhere near appropriate.

it is just as easy to say that expecting Oden to be what we want him to be physically is dumb also.
the main divide i see when it comes to Oden is between those that are still sold on him being an all time great center and those that have curbed those expectations.

Well, I'm a big Oden booster, obviously
It comes down to injuries, I think that is very clear. If he isn’t injured, he’s been great. It isn’t complicated to me. If he can’t be healthy, he won’t be an all-time great center. It ain’t if he can be healthy AND get his mind right— his mind ain’t the problem.
#52
but he HAS been injured. and he HASN’T stayed healthy. you don’t wonder even a little bit if mentally he’s checked out at times? even a tiny bit? given what he’s said in the past about being down, seeing a psychologist and all that?

All the tenor of many of the commentators on the Oden posts makes me kind of sick. Its like O-Live in there, everyone is freaking out about everything and assumes the worst.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? I mean really….the planned savior of all things Blazer-related…..he hasn’t become Shaq 2.0. And as we ALL know, an unsound knee is the FIRST sign of a weak mind.
And, once again, as EVERYONE KNOWS, constantly harping on him will only make it better.
Every other 20-something always acts perfectly and speaks the correct words with just the right inflection so there is never any misunderstanding. Greg is obviously defective and we must pounce on every perceived mis-spoken word. That’s what makes US perfect.

I don’t think you mean me since I rarely comment about Greg’s mental state (and ridiculed people who attested him a depression or manic depression via remote diagnosis).
That said, I do wonder if he is the type of player who has basketball on his mind and works every day all the time to become the best basketball player he can be. A la Jordan, Kobe, Allen, and yes also Durant. Who might be socially awkward guys, but manic about adding to their game. Ever have, since before the draft. Some guys find basketball and love it. Especially among big guys, you sometimes feel like basketball found them because they were such rare physical specimen. I think it applies to guys like Thabeet, who would rather be a soccer player if he wasn’t as tall. And it could very well apply to Greg. It’s not a weakness, it’s just that he is smart and I think would have succeeded in other careers – or at college – if he wasn’t so damn tall. I sometimes think aside from that his microfracture would have made things difficult for him as a college athlete without a pro team paying and supervising his rehab, three or four years of college would have been a better option for him after initially everyone told him he should get drafted straight out of high school. He really wanted to go to college himself according to his old high school coach and others. He’s smart. And due to his injuries, not very happy with his career or far. I don’t think he is in huge love of Portland, but that’s not a requirement. And I think he feels like he has let people down so far (fans, but more so the organization that drafted him #1), and really really wants to change that. Every setback is literally a setback on that road. You have to be really strong to get over that, and I hope from here on out he remains healthy and at least the fun in playing basketball comes back. Like BRoy he excels off the court in the community, but for himself and his reputation he needs to excel also on it. And have fun while doing it.
That said, I do wonder if he is the type of player who has basketball on his mind and works every day all the time to become the best basketball player he can be.
Name another well-known center who had that question come up regularly.
I was thinking of David Robinson, but that's a good answer too.
This is not all that uncommon for basketball players, including ones who play at a high level.
For a while, it was legend that David Robinson simply saw basketball as a job
And that once he went home, he did other stuff. There were questions of whether he really cared enough to win a title. And of course once he got a surrounding cast, he won two, and is still an ambassador for the team in retirement.
I went a different route from the norm.
Wasn't Hakeem another dude who would rather play soccer?
Hakeem is my favorite center I ever saw play, I should add.
#52
No we got our asses kicked by the Lakers.
Every Sonics fan kinda wiped this season from memory. We beat the Rockets in 92-93 and 95-96.
No, I am pretty sure if Oden wasn't a 7 foot beast, he wouldn't be in the NBA
He’s not a guy who would be a NBA player no matter what… but he is a 7 foot beast, and he is very good at NBA ball, so that’s all we’re at right now, ya know?
He won’t be the guy who only cares about NBA, I am sure. He’s more normal than that, for better or worse. At least, he seems that way.
It’s an extremely common thing for bigs though. Once it becomes sure you’re a 7 foot beast, the NBA kinda finds you… you don’t got much of a choice in the matter. Not too many 7 foot beasts walking around not in the NBA.
I guess the only thing where worry about his mental frame of mind comes into play is how it relates to injuries— and I think it’s totally valid for him to be depressed and down about the injuries. I would be too. I’d hate to let everyone down like that, personally, and he has said comments to that effect in the recent past.
Overall though, there aren’t likely any real mental worries, if he isn’t hurt. We didn’t have much concern while he was playing and doing really well— he was into the games, clapping, calling defenses, very engaged. The injuries certainly seem to take him out of that, but I think that is very normal.
If he ain’t hurt, his mind ain’t a problemo.
#52
I think this works both ways
If Durant or Kobe or some other guy who “loves basketball more than Oden” (a claim that is obviously wholly unverifiable) suffered injuries that caused them to miss two entire seasons of ball over three years, that would hurt them. Why? Because they love to play basketball, and would really, really miss it. It also might become difficult for them to retain self-belief, as the thing they enjoyed doing most in the world was ripped away from them. And if they didn’t feel great about the injury after coming back, that would likely be doubly devastating, because what used to be fun and natural now requires thinking—you’d have to re-learn how to enjoy the game because injuries can wreck your confidence no matter how much you love the game.
I think all the expectations on Oden when he came into the league—along with his tendency to overthink things and his immediate injury—made it difficult for him to enjoy basketball the first year. He really looked to be having fun at the beginning of this year, though, and it’s a shame this new injury has set that process back. But I don’t think the difficulties Greg is having really have that much to do with whether he’s meant to play basketball (a silly criticism, he is very good at it if he can stay healthy) or his love of the game.
And I should add
I don’t have specific PEOPLE in mind with my comment… no one here is just stickin’ in my craw with comments about Oden’s mental frame of mind.
I am trying to be as general as possible in my critique of those type of posters. It’s part of us in here, front page, O-Live, everywhere… I just think there is a strong connection between those with mental weakness and those who harp on Oden’s perceived lack of mental strength.
Not trying to call anyone out, really.

I like Noah
guy’s “scappy,” thus, perfect for Nate. I’d never trade Oden for him though, I got faith in GO. This is his last injury…
Cake or Death?
It won't be his last injury-- he's a big
But hopefully he can have long stretches of health.
I wouldn’t trade Oden, I’m an Oden man through and through.

that's what my ellipsis was for :-)
I know he’ll get hurt again, just hopefully nothing as bad as the two knee injuries. And yeah, Oden FTW, Morty.
Also, how in the world is Dwight Howard so healthy? I never hear about him being injured, and certainly not for extended periods of time. He must be a bionic man.
Cake or Death?
Lopez is the all-time Net with the most blocks in a season. His man to man defense could still improve, but he’s no slouch on that end.
Lopez can block shots, sure
I like Noah’s range on defense and activity more.
Lopez is an actual post presence though… it’s a tough one.

I was just debating that, myself. I hate Lopez’s decline in shot blocking and rebounding, and Noah is very rad.

"We have nothing to lose." - Martell
I have to say I do like the Lopez + Durant scenario. Lopez + LaMarcus is a pretty good frontcourt where both can switch from 4 to 5. Horford is not much of a real center to me.
Can we have a test game to try that out in the future? Maybe during an Olympics/World Championship Team USA practice.

Is certainly critiquing Oden’s perceived mental state. It’s mad-bogus to me, and unsubstantiated by anything we have seen.

Dang
I just went about 1/3 the way down and started hitting Z. It’s like the mainpage and stuff only civil.
Only Oden and I know how he's feeling
It’s wasted energy to discuss it when there is a vast conspiracy here to make the Blazers starting point guard seem flawless.
Lemme help
I can’t believe we’re discussing a guy being a little bit down because he’s had to deal with rehab and can’t play in the best part of the season. It’s normal sadness, folks!

this is how it describes me..
You are one sexy and bitchy BEdger. Your securities create insecurities that you are unaware of. The world will never be right. You hate most Blazer fans because they don’t have the same passion and smooth skin. If you were a man, you would build and run a male prison and make everyone watch Jarret Jack run out of bounds on loop in a holding cell. In your bedroom, you have a whip and a white mask. You make your lover make you a sammich before he ties himself up. When you put on the mask, the song “Apologize” automatically comes on and you do a little dance move like the Jabbawockeez. Contrary to what people believe, when in person, you like to hug after you yell at them. You typically roll around with one friend from a different ethnic group to make sure the world knows a walking melting pot when they see one. A guy like Don Cheadle but not as dark is “still the one that got away”

3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood’s current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing experience. For some, it is an annoying distraction. For others, it creates nausea and headaches. It is driven largely to sell expensive projection equipment and add a $5 to $7.50 surcharge on already expensive movie tickets.

Agreed. It only makes sense for a small number of movies. I would hate the day when all movies are in 3D with dumb glasses.
Avatar in 3D makes sense, at least for the flying scenes. It makes the whole movie better (or good). Gimmicky 3D where stuff comes out at you is mostly stupid. Adding cheap 3D afterwards like for Clash of the Titans should be boycotted. And I really don’t need 3D for romantic comedies, dramas, thrillers, …

So I'm watching the UK Prime Minister debate right now
Its the first election they’ve ever done these and I must say they managed to copy our style rather quickly.
All three leaders just used little anecdotes about poor folks their policies will help. Classic US politics 101.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Brown did one big mistake this week though: He cussed out a voter. Big no go, no matter how lunatic that voter might have been. I didn’t think he’d win anyway, but now it’s looking bad in the polls. And I fear some anti-EU right wingers will get a lot of seats.
It'll be a hung parliament
Question is will the Lib Dems win enough seats to be power-holders or are we looking at another quick election.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand simmons has officially jumped the shark for me
We learned a valuable lesson here: no “injury-riddled team” can be counted out in the playoffs if they still have their best two guys. By the way, I’m about to have a Shawn Michaels/Marty Janetty moment with Chris Paul … so hold on tight … but I can’t fight it anymore. Deron Williams is officially the best point guard alive. For the old “Independence Day” scenario in which aliens land on earth and challenge us to a game of basketball for the future of the universe, if we could only pick five guys, Williams, LeBron, Wade, Howard and Melo would have to be the five.

I thought they could win the series all along, but screwed up the crucial game 3 (with some “help” from the refs). I hope they start faster tonight and don’t have to play from behind all game. A lot of that hangs on Butler and Marion to support Dirk. Timmy and Manu were not good in the last two games. And Carlisle finally realized Wood (and Good Wood) are sitting on his bench.
This game is i. If they win tonight, anything can happen the rest of the way.
After repeatedly speaking of his admiration of Apple
Jon Stewart reminded them that they’re passing Microsoft last night. Not in a good way.
Bill Gates is retired. It’s easier looking good as a philanthropist (and he has a very positive impact there, maybe more so than with his first career). They should compare Ballmer and Jobs.
Also Microsoft doesn’t have to worry much about leaks and gadget sites since nobody cares about their prototypes (unless maybe the next Xbox) and they have a different marketing and beta test model. HEY, I FOUND THE NEXT ZUNE IN A BAR! Oh really? Well, maybe we run it on page 2. Some company launched their next Android model that week which looked good, but nobody noticed.
He does make a good point about going after AT&T. And indirectly Apple does by allowing Skype and Ustream to slowly force AT&T to either upgrade or go bust. It would surprise me if they retain exclusivity on the next one. Maybe for a few months, but most phone companies have found it beneficial to work with all network operators.
Once did
I just find it funny how success brings out the haters in that case. Sold more iPads in a month than most companies ever sell of a product? People who hate computers buy it (Roy)? Yeah, but hi hi it looks like a big iPod and has a stupid name.
It’s not Apple’s problem that Nick Denton is a scumbag who believes in checkbook journalism and bought property that the seller had no right to sell. It IS their problem that their marketing model requires secrecy (Apple never does focus groups or builds what people want, they build what they think people want or should want). And in this case, that model broke down which I’m sure pisses some people off mightily but can’t be changed anymore. They are more similar to a car company in that way, which disguises prototypes for a long time in public and doesn’t want pictures and details out in public until the rapidly refreshing new product model is ready. Once you see it, you can (instantly or shortly) buy it. Which is very much unlike the model Microsoft and others have used at trade shows, demonstrating technologies that are a long way off from seeing the light of day – if ever.
I would prefer it if Apple stayed a smallish company, but it looks like they will be a fairly big one in the mobile market from here on out. I’m rather annoyed by how they treat Adobe than by anything else at the moment.
I like Apple just fine. It's the fanboys that I can't stand.
If there is one thing Apple has down that is superior to all other tech companies, it’s their UX. However, I have issues with their fanboys defending every little thing Apple does as the greatest thing since sliced bread, even though it might be a design flaw or ploy to stay a closed system. (For ex. non-removable battery or lack of built in usb port on iPad, no multitasking on iphone/ipad until recent..still no true multi-tasking yet)

that is my litmus test for anti-homers
can you take a situation where all the evidence is on the side of the homers (every doctor apparently says you can’t re-injure a meniscus after Roy’s deal) and take the other side?
that's the part that is bothering me the most
they Blazers got several opinions before letting Roy play, and Roy literally begged to be allowed on the court before they let him, even after doctors said it was okay. Get all the facts before you make blind end all-be all statements.

That's not always a fair test.

Question for you all:
How would you rate Nick Collison among bench big men in the league? This topic came up on DT when we were debating whether OKC should re-sign him after his current contract. FWIW, adjusted plus-minus has always loved him and I think he’d be a great pickup for a number of championship contending teams, but I’m on the fence whether it would be in the Thunder’s best interests to retain him.
What I mean is, which backup 4/5s would you take over him?
Varejao. Birdman. And that’s as far as I could get. I guess Love, but it’s stupid that Love isn’t starting so I didn’t count him.
I know. I just like that Utah was forced into that deal.
I like to bring it up whenever possible.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
for certain teams, I’d have Carl Landry, Marcin Gortat, Ryan Anderson, DeJuan Blair and maybe Tyrus Thomas in the vicinity of him.
Hmm, whoever ends up signing Tyrus might get a treat
I still think he can be good, maybe quite good.

LNA is a better player— Thomas is pretty bad offensively— but I love Tyrus’s defense. I think in a better situation he could have become more. Who knows.
Would you like a potentially anarchic and hustling/shot blocking defensive duo
Like Ibaka at center and Tyrus at PF?
#52
Not really interested.
Neither are good man-defenders and both are limited offensively (though I do have hope that Ibaka will continue to grow in this respect). If we get a defensive-center, I want him to be a terrific post defender and rebounder (Haywood); if not, he needs to be a high-percentage guy that’ll open up the offense (Lee).
Isn't Landry starting for the Kings now?
Blair’s a better rebounder, but I’d rather have Collison’s defense. Ryan Anderson is interesting, didn’t think about him.
Is Landry really a backup, though?
I’d say he’s more starter-quality much like Millsap.
"I think he’s been doing some good things. I think he’s been doing some good things. He’s had to play a lot of minutes lately with Blake being out. I think he’s been doing some good things." -Nate McMillan
I'd probably agree with that.
Landry is no slouch, though.

I'd take Collison over Birdman for age and versatility issues I think
I like Verajao, but price wise I assume Coillison will give ya more bang for the buck…
Millsap of course, but he could be a starter soon.

I don't think they should resign him at the expense of landing a starting big with low post offense

Yeah, and I forgot OKC has the cap space thing
If they sign Collison to a decent backup-big salary, what does it do to the cap space?
And I forget— does the cap space carry over?
#52
is the cap projected at 56 million?
I think that gives the Thunder ~14 million
"In fact you might say that Ugly is the Blazers' secret weapon this year."
-Dave
As for the Blazers...They are officially the NBA equivalent of a movie serial killer

Neither here nor there.
Collison’s contract expires in 2011. Any big starter acquisition would happen before then.
Ahhhh
I misread and thought you were saying he expired this offseason.
Can your capspace carry over to 2011?
#52
Probably not.
Durant’s extension will kick in that summer, as well as Green’s (if he gets one; who knows what our plans are for him). We’ve pretty much got to use it or lose it by next February. Collison can be re-signed with Bird rights, but doing so would likely severely limit flexibility going forward.
I've decided I really don't like your team
14 million in capspace to sign a FA to go with that core of guys makes me hate you. Holy zach, the NW division is going to be tough.
Who are you guys looking to pick up? I’d probably go with David Lee.

That's a solid option.
My dream is that Splitter won’t sign with the Spurs for the MLE and they trade his rights to us.
HE'S A MYTH
A symbol, for the lust we all feel in our loins for exotique foreign bigs.
I researched this phenomenon, and found articles about the mysterious Tiago Splitter dating back to the 70s. He’s been rumoured to be drafted and come over to the NBA for 30 years now.
#52
He came over and played and we saw footage of him
No one has ever even seen a PICTURE of this Splitter fellow… all accounts of his play are always “a friend of a friend who is a scout for some Euro team saw him and he wasn’t bad”.
It’s the biggest scam ever perpetrated upon humanity. The perfect crime.
#52
yes, it did seem like you were saying it expired this off season
sure, resign him, he can backup both positions.

For, besides continuing thus to soften body and mind, as these commodities had lost almost all their pleasantness through habit, and as they had at the same time degenerated into true needs, being deprived of them became much more cruel than possessing them was sweet; and people were unhappy to lose them without being happy to have them." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Well, one of those two statements is a slight exaggeration.

Jeff Feagles retired today
He’s an NFL punter, retiring after 22 years (!) in the NFL.
Random note for the old-timers: He was the last active player who appeared in Techmo Bowl.
made me kinda sad, he's my punter
but it’s better off. and he was very dignified about it, letting us know before the draft so we could pick up a kicker. And last year he was off, for sure. I’ll miss the guy though. Only punter for whom I’ve even been close to purchasing a jersey for.

Mhm, maybe I would do that… Can we get a second round pick too?

What is the point of all the NBA Cares spots? What are they advertising other than league image? Who cares if NBA players do community service?

Because he plays so little like Amundson I know not much about him as a player.

Usually it doesn’t get called when you run into a player after the play. Not in the playoffs in a critical situation when the play is over.

Positives:
Martell was a stud tonight. I hope this game gives him confidence for next season.
Speaking of confidence, Rudy looks like he’s got his back. If his head is in the right place, he should be effective next season.
I love that Roy cares about this team to the extent he does.
Aldridge was playing good defense out there. 5 blocks, 2 steals, 9 rebounds.
Dante is a baller. I think he’s our hustle guy off the bench for the foreseeable future.
The Camby to Aldridge high-low post was awesome. I’d like to see more of that and hopefully with Greg in there too.
Overall, I’m really glad the team didn’t quit in this game and fought back to tie it. They didn’t quite have enough, but they’ve played hard all year and I’m proud of them.
Good season Blazers!

Probably make a S&T run for younger guys like Bosh first, but Dirk would be an interesting option since he’ll only go to teams with a chance to win it all.
I don’t even know we can even send out enough salaries, though. Plus, more obvious match seems to be Amare for Dirk.

Aw come on. Dirk and Nash back together again definitely sounds fun. Two lovers, reunited once again.

He can come here, with four awesome, injured centres we should find enough games between them.

Predictions for the Spurs-Suns series.
Spurs in 6 games. Duncan is a much better low post presence, if only because he can establish a position and he can pass the ball very well. Nash cannot be hidden on the defensive end. Parker, Hill, or Ginobli will exploit him. Spurs are a great fast break defense team that relies on good FG percentage on offense. Spurs protect the defensive boards resulting in few offensive rebounds. Lastly, Spurs have great shooters and spacing.
Easy prediction in my view.

Oden said it was his failure in the Houston series that made him work even harder over the Summer, replaying his performance in his head.

Hi friends
home from the RG. Sad game, but I’m very proud of our fans. the “let’s go blazers!” chant even after we knew it was over was great. Just…beautiful.

I’m happy with this season, even if it ended like this.

Two tales from tonight
I had my own injury: Some jackass toppled over the seats going after a cheap T-shirt and fell into my back.
I’m okay though.
After the game was over,, I walked down with my friend to the front row of Section 317, put my head on the rail and just stared for a few minutes. Cried a bit, thought a lot and decided I was okay with what happened.

I think Patty is not back, Howard is not back (as a player at least), Diener probably is not back. Martell, Rudy, Jerryd, Joel are potentially movable pieces in a summer trade. Maybe maybe Miller, but I highly doubt it.

he still has a few things to work on, but he has quite possibly cemented himself as point guard of the future for portland. great great play this series.
I thought he looked reasonably comfortable alongside Brandon tonight (despite BRoy being half speed) which was very encouraging.

even so, i still think he’s the best blazers’ backup point guard in quite some time. if he learns some things from andre about playing the pg position in the nba, he could be a very very good [player alongside roy/oden
2 important skills he should be able to pick up from Andre
The lob pass. It’s deadly when used effectively.
Using your body to protect the ball when shooting. Andre has to do this because he lacks athleticism, but Bayless will find this useful to keep his shot from getting blocked

At least that game did not get decided by a ref. A few poor calls, but all in all in both directions, and the 4 on Dirk where also okay (1 because Carlisle put him back when he had 3 already). There was complaining in the 2nd quarter, but after that it was okay. This one was on Carlisle, and on the supporting cast not supporting enough.
Seriously
I’m not saying we win tonight if the calls in the first half are even (they were in the second) but its interesting to see.
My favorite was awarding them two shooting fouls and taking away one of our shooting fouls that both should have been the opposite.

the frustrating thing
was almost that we came back, so we had only ourselves to blame. We wanted a chance to get into a half-court execution situation in the fourth quarter, and we got there despite the refs. Then we failed. Brutal.
I still can't figure out why we went away from the things that got us back into the game
But it felt like I was yelling “nooo” as it happened in slow motion and the Suns pulled away again.
yeah, Roy was such a liability all game. I was thinking it in the first half—if he’s not beating people on offense, he’s not helping us. And he wasn’t doing that. We needed the energy we got from Marty + Bayless + Rudy.
But in the end you know what
You have to ride your star. He’s out there, and I don’t want to know what it would have been for him if we had lost AND he hadn’t played late.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
we didn't ride him though
when he came back in the game, he didn’t even get a shot except one 3 pter until they were up 9. Frustrating.
the roy/rudy/webster lineup was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge mistake.
he can’t be a decoy when he’s playing point guard

isn’t aldridge supposed to be our third best player? He, Roy and Miller have had a combined two good games in a six game series. It’s kind of amazing we pulled those two out.
It's funny that the two wins
each came with one of our “best players” getting 31 pts. Andre in game 1, LMA in 4. Honestly, I agree with pretty much everyone here that LMA needs to establish a post presence, but before that, he needs to learn to work off the double team. If he had two players on him at any given point, he was over and done with.

by GiantBlazer on Apr 30, 2010 12:41 AM PDT up reply actions
he never looks for an incisive pass
out of the double. He’s always looking for the safe, turnover free route. That’s fine when you can outlet it to Brandon to go to work. But when you’re the man, you’ve got to be setting the table.
we should have tried to run a cutter up the middle on those doubles

There was a fan post recently
I think the title was simply “cutters” that I never read, but I assume this is what the person was saying as well. I can’t believe we never did that this series.

by GiantBlazer on Apr 30, 2010 12:54 AM PDT up reply actions
I actually think it's reasonably clear why
LA is a poor post passer and has difficulty finding cutters in traffic or under duress. With Camby at the high post (or even Oden in the block earlier this year) we had more motion because there was more confidence those guys could find the guy diving to the hoop.
Yeah good point
I guess it all comes down to whether or not the guy getting doubled can pass to a cutter, but watching the games closely, I rarely even saw somebody cutting to give LMA the option to pass it. Maybe they just know he wouldn’t/couldn’t.
Cake or Death?
by GiantBlazer on Apr 30, 2010 12:59 AM PDT up reply actions
with Aldridge timing would be the key
if the cutter went at the right time, just as his defender moved to double, there would likely be a hole even aldridge could find
"In fact you might say that Ugly is the Blazers' secret weapon this year."
-Dave
As for the Blazers...They are officially the NBA equivalent of a movie serial killer

yeah
I think our whole offense was out of whack, trying to adjust to different things → we were basically carrying Roy as a passenger out there, which must have been a new experience for everybody, and that’s got to make it a lot harder to run the normal sets. Then we ran a big chunk with “Gimpy Roy” and Bayless as our guards, which is another huge adjustment from the normal rotations. So I could see our sets being all screwed up and the movement being a little shy of telepathic.
you're right, sorry.
I’m tired, sickly, and a bit out of sorts from being at the game. Thanks for the clarification.

i don’t see many adjustments we could have made… our hand we had to play was very very small. we brought roy back early, prayed rudy would get hot early in the series starting at the 2 guard, etc. etc.
agreed
I don’t know how much could have been done. Aldridge is bad at passing out of double teams. No one seems to know how to beat big men showing on screens. Batum was too banged up to take advantage of having Nash guarding him.

Not sure if that is all an elaborate running gag a la the Kerr Moron Meter, or if he really lost some control over it and got real angry. It’s not what he usually does.

They're on the way down as a team
Like the Mavs, this may be their last shot to win anything (and if Amare leaves that’s for sure).

Mavs at least can reload quickly. Suns have, well, if Amare gets away for nothing they have issues despite some nice role players acquired by Kerr. And a far cheaper owner.
And once Nash retires

I guess you could say the same about Hill, too, right? I mean it’s almost demeaning that we’re fawning over him getting out of the first round as some sort of career achievement award. You know he would have preferred to rip our hearts out as a superstar for the Magic.
Or any one of his other teams
Hills’ career arc was to start beasting, then miss the rest of the season hurt.

There are 5 more early entry candidate Frenchies in the draft, but I don't think I've ever seen them play

Bangaly Fofana, ASVEL (France), 1989
Thomas Heurtel, Strasbourg (France), 1989
Luc Louves, Maurienne (France) 1989
Fernando Raposo, Pau Orthez (France), 1989
meh, he clearly proved himself as an elite center when healthy. the question now is can he stay healthy?
i still don’t know what to make of lamarcus in the future, and it’s sad to me. the dude has so much talent.
Best case he gets a spot on the world championship team, or at least is allowed to stay there all Vegas camp and learns something from it for his own workouts. I’m not terribly worried about him. He’s remarkably healthy, and at worst will remain a top 15 PF in the league and never be an All-Star. In that case we have overpaid for him, but he can still be a good rotation player or trade chip.
aaaugh.. it’s so frustrating to me. the adjustments he needs to make to be an elite player seem so simple to me:
aaaugh.. it’s so frustrating to me. the adjustments he needs to make to be an elite player seem so simple to me:1) play more in the post
2) improve help defense
3) play with more effort, especially when rebounding
4) 20-22 ft jumpers suuuuuuuck. shoot 3s instead

don’t get me wrong, i love lamarcus. i hope he’s a blazer for a long time. he was just extremely disappointing to me, this postseason and this season. maybe he finds more success when oden is there, but he had all the opportunity in the world to hav ea great year/plaayoffs, and he struggled.
I stopped after "I love lamarcus"

I don't know about the season
I think LaMarcus had his moments, and generally did well. I will say, he was very poor in 5/6 playoff games (you could say the same about Andre). LA’s numbers are basically what he had in the regular season, but his inability to defend the paint, rebound, or assert himself in any meaningful way in the absence of Brandon were disappointing in a manner not reflected by his boxscores.
really?
over the injuries?

Oh dang, I forgot something.
Was anyone else there early enough to hear the marching band walking around the 300 level (I dunno if they were on the 100 level too)? It was one of the loudest things I have ever heard. When we were walking around it sounded like they were just down on the court at first, but it kept getting louder and louder. Ushers and everyone else started coming out to see what the zach was going on.
Luckily we got to our entrance before they passed us, but we watched em go by. It was so damn loud, everyone had to plug their ears. I was laughing the whole time because it was so strange. Drums FTL.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Insomnia HOOOOOOOO!

Haha, I thought you were gonna reply that you were joking and then I'd be silly for taking it serious
Do you remember the stop motion animated creatures in The Life Aquatic? Or James and the Giant Peach movie? That animator did Fantastic Mr. Fox, along with Wes Anderson I believe…

I remember the LIfe Aquatic somewhat.
Is that anything like ATHF?

Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
No, not really similar at all. I like ATHF though.
I love The Life Aquatic, I recommend it. Wes Anderson is kinda a love ’em or hate ’em type director though.
#52
Don't like Anderson.
And I’ve seen Life Aquatic. Wasn’t my thing unfortunately.

stop motion just bugs me
I can’t get into it. It just makes me very aware that I’m watching a movie instead of getting sucked into the plot.
