PrintSo let's get Wilde!
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-- Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
-- Oscar Wilde
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts. Its purpose was simple from its infancy; a place where people could come and chat about all of the "whatevers" that didn't fit with the rest of the site and even be loose in terms of byplay and humor. The goal was to foster community...to let people who wanted to get to know each other outside of what they could discern from the strictly basketball posts. We've had happy JD's, sad ones, drawers that looked like a sharing circle, drawers that resembled open mic night at the comedy club... and people have really become a family here.
So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. Everyone else is doing the same, so you will find the JD an eclectic place where you might read something interesting, pointless, profound, or just funny within a few moments. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
- Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.
- Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- Remember everything you write is visible publicly
- Don't use the JD call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, remember that you can use 'Z' on your keypad to mark a comment as read and move to the next one and hitting shift-A will mark all comments as read.
So how about that offseason? Wilde, huh?

On Thursday, House Republicans released their "Pledge to America," supposedly outlining their policy agenda. In essence, what they say is, "Deficits are a terrible thing. Let’s make them much bigger." The document repeatedly condemns federal debt — 16 times, by my count. But the main substantive policy proposal is to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, which independent estimates say would add about $3.7 trillion to the debt over the next decade — about $700 billion more than the Obama administration’s tax proposals.
The late Irving Kristol, one of the intellectual godfathers of modern conservatism, once wrote frankly about why he threw his support behind tax cuts that would worsen the budget deficit: his task, as he saw it, was to create a Republican majority, "so political effectiveness was the priority, not the accounting deficiencies of government." In short, say whatever it takes to gain power. That’s a philosophy that now, more than ever, holds sway in the movement Kristol helped shape.

the longest is usually 34 inches without having to go to a FAT and tall store, and they don’t sell affordable clothes for tall thin guys.
34 is prolly ideal for a guy 2 or 3 inches shorter than me.

I don’t think I’m even close. I was calling for a full outside review of the situation, but it seems like there were people that were calling for the training staff to go way more vehemently than I was.
It's ok, I'm sometimes listed as the leader of the "Nate sucks" campaign,
even though I list him in the average NBA coaches list.
I didn’t think you led the charge on the training staff, but you have been on the outspoken list.

Natsthecat is one of the leading members, but there is certainly a handful of people who would like to replace them
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I made you a leading advocate of Al Horford after searching the page for some supporters :)
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I love me some Al, but I’m certainly not in the Mortimer-led group (is Cab in it also? I’m not sure) that thinks that, if Oden is never healthy, Horford and not Durant would have been the best pick.
Hehe, I just found a comment where you said Horford is better than Oden during some game, so I ran with that. AK and Cabbie were also in the closer selection, and Mortimer just made it because he likes Horford but is also such an Odensheeple.

maybe Cho will trade for Horford

by GreatOden'sRaven on Sep 24, 2010 11:59 AM PDT up reply actions
I love Al too
But Durant is better than the Horf. Oden has the potential to be a franchise changer, like Durant is, but Horford is more of a 2nd/3rd guy. I don’t think Roy/LA/Horf is a championship big three.
I am just very dubious of a scorer-non-passer leading a team anywhere major
It ain’t really happened, and I feel most of the awesome scoring stats end up in empty wankery of good numbers/so-so results.
#52
I think us drafting Durant would have been interesting
He would be coming into a situation where we have a reigning ROY who was clearly the new leader of the team. I feel like Durant could have been more efficient here early on, albeit with lower raw numbers due to the fact that he would have the ball in his hands less. He would have been in a very different situation for sure and he probably wouldn’t been as heralded at this point in his career but if we had utilised the Roy/Durant 1-2 punch effectively (which I doubt Nate would have been able to do) and still had some of the complimentary pieces we have now, I think we’re championship material.
I still think we are a better, more balanced team with a healthy GO but I think with hindsight you have to go with Durant over Al or Greg. If Greg has a couple of healthy seasons then this changes obviously but I’m already losing my optimism with all the negative spin coming out of the FO.
well, there’s a case to be made that we’ve never, ever, ever tested this theory with a scoring prospect as good as Durant as young as Durant.
Horford, meanwhile, is a very nice young talent but not a future HOFer or anything. You can’t take a guy like Horford over a near-lock HOFer (barring something unforseen) like Durant.
This is my story.
Yes, a non-passing scorer has never won a ‘ship. But we’ve never seen such a player who’s as good as Durant.
I think the HOF part is pointless though
I agree, I think Durant is a HOFer. Titles or not titles. Horford isn’t real likely to be a HOFer.
But I think what Horford does, historically contributes to winning big, while what Durant does, doesn’t. Just because one will be in the HOF and one won’t, doesn’t mean one is better for winning a title. It doesn’t add up that way, in my opinion.
I DO KNOW, AND UNDERSTAND, however, that what I am saying might sound silly. And I gotta run, so I can’t continue the discussion. A big part of what I feel I have learned over the years, watching basketeering, is that scorers who don’t pass, don’t win, for a reason. Always.
Too much role because they’re too good at scoring, but just so inherently flawed in the way that the true great wings aren’t. So I would sacrifice the great scoring for someone better at passing.
Time is the only thing that will tell, though.
#52
My question would be
Have we ever seen an all-time great scorer like Durant next to a distributing/scoring guard like Roy?
I think that combo could be dynamic, especially if you put a low usage off-guard like Hinrich next to them and have defensive guys who don’t need the ball (Przy, Camby, Varejao, Noah types) up front. In the hypothetical scenario we are discussing, LA would just be a 2nd year player without the established role/stats he has now. He would adjust or be traded IMO.
I still a die-hard Oden fan, I just think that saying Durant won’t win championships because he is a scoring wing who doesn’t pass isn’t as relevant when we have an unselfish, star level player in Roy to go next to him. Surround them with defensive players and I think you can win a bunch.
The closest team I can think of
off the top of my head is the recent Celts champs with Pierce and Allen. But Allen’s not nearly as dynamic a scorer as Durant.
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are both way better facilitators than ...
Kevin Durant, who does have the edge on them at scoring. To be fair, though, Allen cut down on his passing with Boston, but that’s also the case with his usage. So yeah, it’s not a great comparison.
I imagine Durant's usage would also be cut playing next to Roy and LMA.
Probably not to 21% like Allen’s in Boston, but somewhere in the 25-27% range sounds about right.
I like it
Allens facilitating numbers match up almost exactly with Durants since he was traded to Boston. Its not dead on but Pierce is a pretty good approximation of Roy and Allen in his latter years is a decent comparison stylistically to Durant.
That is a pretty good comparison point
Pierce is very Roy-like and Allen shares that incredible ability coming off screens that Durant has. Roy-Durant could be like Pierce-Allen on steroids.
His point that a very nice, two way talent at PF/C
Trumps a stupefyingly talented scorer. I can’t quite buy that but I see the argument.
I still think a stupefying defensive/rebounding center trumps a stupefying scorer though, so I remain in the Oden camp.
There is logic picking Oden over Durant, as his upside is just as high albeit as a totally different player
Horford is never going to be a superstar, in fact I’m a big advocate for making a trade to bring him in as the 3rd guy behind Roy and Oden. That isn’t someone you take over the best scorer of his generation.
Mortimer places a vast importance in players being multi-faceted from what I’ve seen, this is just a step too far.
yeah, you and I are nearly on the same page here, though I’m now convinced that even given the evidence available at the time, Durant was the right pick over Oden (I didn’t think so at the time though).
I think from a health perspective and considering what has come out about Durant's worouts (apparently incredible)
It was probably a really hard decision. The history of great big men winning championships is hard to ignore though and there is little doubt that at the time of the 07 draft, Oden was seen as the next great big man as much or more than Durant was seen as a generational scoring talent.
Given the info you have now it is a clear choice, at the time…..I still think you go for Oden.
as a stat nerd, I often wonder why I thought Oden was the right move. Got carried away by the hype, I guess.
Honestly, I was never that impressed with Oden in college except for that final game. He was often in foul trouble and tOSU never seemed to miss a beat without him…
but, of course, he’s shown himself to be a great player if he could just give us ~2500 minutes a season.
The only reason to take Oden over Durant is because of positional importance
Its pretty much a given that a centre is more important than a wing. Or at least that is the traditional thinking. There was nothing in Oden’s stats that would lead you to take him before Durant, as Jeff Ma said. Then again, the same could be said for Michael Beasley if he was subbed in for Durant. I don’t think there would be the same level of consternation had that been the case.
Yeah I first heard of Durant and thought he would be very very good
(In TIME, of all places)
But I was fine with signing Greg. Of course you couldn’t know from the outside about any injury issues aside from what Simmons & Co where rumoring. And while I read reports of Durant having a great work ethic, he didn’t seem to have that killer mentality he now displays from time to time and was rather shy. So even psychologically it would have been tough to pass up on a gregarious guy who everybody liked – and who at that time seemed not very shy in his public appearances. In the end it all stays and falls with his health. If he’s healthy from here on out, he can still be a multiple all-star center. If he’s not, you can just as well argue that even Roy Hibbert or any number of centers and alternative future trade plans like Gasol or Noah or Lopez would have been better.

It's not the versatility
It’s that Mort has a image of what a championship team looks like, and a scorer like Durant doesn’t fit in that image. Ergo, he never wants Durant because he doesn’t think you can ever win a ’ship with him.
I don’t think Mort has ever said you can’t win a ‘ship with Durant, just that Durant can’t lead his team to one in the way a great big (like we all hope Oden will be) can.

Yup
I sincerely doubt Durant will ever win a title as the star, because of his INHERENT flaw of not being able to pass. Like I alllllways say, if he does win one, he’d be the first of his kind.
It doesn’t matter what his age is— his scoring is gooder than others of his kind at this age, but not THAT much gooder. It’s not “oh, forget about passing” good. I don’t even think that exists, in a wing.
And it won’t matter if he scores 40ppg efficiently.
He can be a co-star, but as the main guy (which he deserves to be), I think there’s a reason it hasn’t happened. You need to be more of a threat to make plays if you’re gonna have the ball so dang much, no matter who you are.
The thing with a guy of Durant’s talent— he will always be the best scorer on a team, easily. Always. So, you put the ball in his hands a lot, because it’s easy and it makes sense. But his inability to pass will always hamstring him.
I think his talent level at scoring can’t overcome his pretty-awful passing, as that is a huge part of what makes the great wings, great. It is an inherently flawed playing style.
And a playing style no wing has won big with, as the headliner.
Gimme a two-way role player over that, yes. A great one with no real flaw like Horford? Yes please; two.
You guys can think I’m crazy, but I think I’ll be correct. High usage wings have to pass— period. Full stop.
#52
And until we see otherwise
I’ll take NBA history as a guide.
Durant is a better version of scorers we’ve seen before, but they’re still just scorers. When a ‘just scorer’ wins it all, I’ll change my tune. If that is Durant, you get to say “I told ya so”, and that’s fun.
SPOILER ALERT: He won’t win a title, unless ya take the ball away from him (and the less he has the ball, the less scoring he does, but that’s what he is amazing at, and so ya gotta give him the ball more, and so on into infinity while wings who pass win titles).
#52
Another SPOILER ALERT
I won’t change my mind on the “wings have to pass” issue until a player gives me a reason to change my mind. I can’t imagine any argument one of us here could give that could change my POV on this one.
I gotsta ta’ see it, to believe it.

Greg Oden being allowed to get up to over 300 pounds (I fully believe that he was in the 08/09 season) is an indictment of the entire training staff.
I’m just hope Cho does what is necessary regarding the training staff and Nate.
Between Al Horford and Kevin Durant, that's kind of a tough one. I'd bite my tongue and go ...
with Durant, though. So yeah, I’d’ve drafted Durant at the time. If nothing else, that’d’ve been due to Durant’s value at the #2 pick. I’d’ve never traded Ray Allen, which is where I argued with many Sonic fans back in the day.

for instance, i’ve had the idea of a story in my head for a long long time now….like, years…..and i even think i finally found a framework for it. i even sat down and wrote almost 2 pages of stuff. then i even discovered that the stuff i wrote won’t matter but it gave me a great diving board. but now i just don’t write the stuff out.
what would be best for me, is if i could write it without reading it at the same time.

Oddly enough, I think that Denver and Utah would come out fine here.
Andrei Kirilenko is still an otherworldly help defender, as well as would allow the Denver Nuggets to retool rather than rebuild — which is what I’ve been saying is the right course of action all along — also, the Utah Jazz get an offensively versatile frontcourt player, Boris Diaw, who can handle the 4, the 3, and even the 5 spot satisfactorily. The Nuggets, moreover, would be preparing for life without Kenyon Martin by acquiring the raw, yet potential laden Derrick Favors, who’s worth taking a shot on in spite of his high probability of being a bust.

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Anyone have any ideas?
So:
I got a notice from a collection agency yesterday saying I owed $720 for a red light camera ticket. I never received a ticket, citation, anything; the collection agency’s notice is the first I had heard of this. They instructed me to call the red light camera processing office. I did that, and they couldn’t find any record of my name or license plate. I discover, later, that this is because they don’t have any dealings with the Compton courthouse, which is where my ticket was sent; i.e. they aren’t the company that processed my red light ticket. So I call the Compton courthouse and after getting the runaround, I speak to a man that says that they can’t do anything about the ticket since it’s already been sent to collections; to receive any more information about the ticket I need to either contact the red light camera processing company (which he has no information about) or to contact the DMV. The reason, he says, I didn’t receive any information about my ticket is because they sent my ticket to my old address, even though I had updated my address with the DMV over a year ago. So I call the DMV and can’t figure out how to talk to a person; when I get to the ‘speak with a live person’ option in the phone system, the automated system gives me a message that there are no representatives available and then hangs up on me, even though it’s mid day on a Friday and they are supposed to be there on Fridays.
What now?
i would go directly to the DMV or the camera company and ask about.
and i would not pay it until i see an actual ticket and the picture of your car running a red light.

Typically paying quickly is the best way to avoid higher fines, unless they have a crappy photo. On the other hand, I would also want to see the original bill and photo. And I know one of my doctors once confused me with someone of the same name and that got sent to a collection agency although I protested twice in writing. Those guys are the pest and quick to go to the courts.

the whining is fine. cracking down on celebrating is stupid.
of course, this really just gives the refs more power, which probably isn’t that great a thing anyway.

I really don't think it's a crackdown on celebrations. I think it's purely for reactions to ref calls
It’ll be interesting to see the reality during the preseason.
the demonstratively punching the air thing has a lot of room for interpretation. and with the way the refs are, i can see them taking advantage.

Celebrations aren't usually considered "aggressive gestures" though.
If a team loses because they celebrated, the rule will be gone the next day.
plenty of people punch at the air in celebration. i’m not sure where the “aggressive” line would be drawn and i know i don’t trust the oft times partisan officials to make that call.

like when a dude is on the floor
after a layup, the whistle is blown, and everyone is waiting to see if the ball goes in. As soon as it does, the player fist pumps….and then gets a T.
I really think you guys are worried about nothing on this one
But hey, it wouldn’t be the first time I’m wrong. I don’t think this is meant as a celebration penalty.
i think our point isn’t if it’s meant as a celebration penalty or not. it’s that it opens up the possibility for referees to penalize celebratory actions if they decide to. the NBA is all about the letter of the law rather than the spirit. just ask the Phx Suns

yeah, that is it. Things won’t get called the entire season, until one day a ref just decides during the playoff to make a point.

i see it like this: in the preseason they’ll call it allllll the time. then it will go away in the regular season. then around late march they’ll start calling stuff again to prepare for the playoffs.

Vague rules are inevitable with human beings.
The problem you have is that you can’t trust the refs to use the vague rules properly, and I do understand that.
I just think the concern about them going after regular end-game celebrations and the like is overblown. And like I said, I could be proven totally wrong.
oh i’m not talking about end game regulations.
i’m talking about yelling and throwing a fist through the air after making a big play. especially after and-1’s.

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Buster Olney says on ESPN that Ichiro may have one of the highest vote totals in a HoF vote when he's eligible.
Right up with Seaver and Cobb.
He then followed that up by stating that Felix is going to win the Cy Young
And that voters are focused on best pitcher, not best team, for that award.
even 10 years ago, Felix would have stood no chance. Slowly but surely, baseball writers have become to embrace advanced stats. Someday— perhaps 25 years down the road, we’ll start to see that with hoops also.
Well, even non-advanced stats (other than wins) favor Felix
So he’s an easy choice to break the trend. Not that they are ignoring advanced stats either.
Rick Sutcliffe said the other day that they changed the wording on the trophy a decade or so ago
When he won it in the mid 80s it read “most valuable pitcher,” these days it reads “most outstanding pitcher.” It’s cool to see the voting shift reflect that
z
i’m just waiting to see if Ichiro can somehow make it to 3,000 hits. it’d be amazing if he did. not sure he’ll be able to though. he needs 3 or 4 more 200 hit season i think.

He's stated he wants to play into his 40s
If there was ever a player who could adjust his game and still play well…
i’m not betting against him either. he takes great care of himself. he stole 40 bases this year i think. he can still beat out the infield singles. i think he’ll get to 3000. which, i believe, might put him close to the all time hits total if you include his Japan hits which total around 1500 or something.

I am a bit torn about this one— the official title of the HOF in Cooperstown is the “National Baseball Hall of Fame,” so its debatable as to whether his Japanese stats should count. Sadaharu Oh, for example, is in the Japanese Baseball HOF (of course) but not the one in Cooperstown.
Oh could eventually make the HoF though. I think it's inevitable.
Probably by the veterans committee.
I think they should at least mention it
since he will clearly get in as an American player as well.
I doubt they would count, but i think its important to note in his player bio

Sup Junksters....
I just recently had the privilage of hearing the 95.5 programming over the past 3 days, and must blast the entire station with the title….
WEAK SAUCE AND PUNNY…..
“godfather” ? hahahahah… I couldn’t get over their over usage of the most undeserving titles ever, and the nacistic tone of the voices are underwhelming as far as the expectations that I have had.
Godfather sounds like a weenie, C.R.I.P (unsure if thats right) is just as guilty of sounding like a complete nerd too, the only one who I could relate to not being a nerdy geek with a pocket protector would be Tone, and even then….. I’m biased….
And their abuse towards a Old man “blazer ken” …. inexcusable, sure they let the old man on the radio weekly but only to use him as a punchline, to make fun of him the way they do…. it’s kind of sick mean and wrong.
that’s not even getting to the…. “bald face truth”
John sounds like a wet squeeky pussy cat too . maybe everyone sounds a little smaller than they are in real life on the radio, but geezzzze louise, I woulda thought that boy woulda stuck some bass in his voice if he was going to go and rip on people the way he does…
He said something about bringing Tito Ortiz onto his show, I highly doubt he would given tito is more likely to thump on him more than he is to answer the questions after john said what he said, not that what he said was offensive, but how he said it, would boil my blood if i were to be talked about that way…. I don’t understand how a weenie voice like John Canzanos could invigorate the wraith that he does, as often as he does…. Given he sounds like the dweebs that were shoved in lockers in highschool back in my day….
Give it to me straight Portland, why do these clowns irritate you? why are they still on the air? Why hasn’t anyone beat them senseless with the fact stick when it comes to their outlandish broadcasting…. they made a whole day out of a blue field for crying out loud…..

The worst thing I have heard on the BFT in the last month or so was the alleged interview with Sam Adams over the baseball stadium. Plenty of good questions could have been asked, such as: Why did we just turn the stadium over to a person who didn’t want to make some kind of plan for AAA baseball? What was the net benefit to the city of Portland there? Instead it became a shouting match which Adams quickly lost – Canzano shouts louder and has a dump button, which were insurmountable advantages during their “discussion”. – Elgin

There were some people that wore letterman jackets for academics. Come to think of it, there weren’t a ton of people who wore jackets— I guess I was partly grouping them in with jerseys, team sweatshirts etc. I would get a little bitter when I saw people who weren’t much better than me (if at all) wearing “Wilson Baseball” stuff— would reopen the would of getting cut.
I got over it though.
clearly….
the lame letterman jackets at my high school were the kids that wore them after letting in band, theatre, and academics.

I bought a Roy home one last year since I was going to a lot of games. I like the black road ones best, though (of the regular rotation). I got a Przybilla road one a few years back but it’s the replica type so it’s a lil faded these days.

i have a white Roy jersey. it has a BBQ sauce stain on it. haha
i got white cause every Roy jersey i saw at games was black or red and i wanted to be different. now i’m seeing a lot more white. oh well.

And I still cannot figure out why they don't make these jerseys for women
they insist on making them look completely different.
SIGH.
yeah that’s stupid. I’m sorry. It’s bad enough that they’re made for giants anyways. I prefer buying them in youth Xlarge, to be honest, otherwise I look like I’m wearing a sleeveless dress.

Yes, why the hell can't they make them NORMAL length?
It’s not like the people buying them are all 7 feet tall and are going to wear them in their pick up games at the Y.
i have an adult medium (i think) and it fits just fine. the bottom of the jersey is a few inches below my waist.

in real life? you’re not much taller then me though, right? (maybe you just slouch a lot). ‘cause they’re wayyyy too long for me.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
yes in real life.
it might be small, but i’m pretty sure it’s a medium. i tried it on first before buying.

yeah they don’t tend to carry smalls so it’s probably a medium. lucky. the only adult one I have is a swingman so that adds a couple inches. It’s way annoying, though.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
oh that might be it then. i just but a replica jersey, not a swingman jersey. that’s probably the difference

I rarely wear my jersey for that reason
My wife’s is a child’s size, and it fits her great. I’m jealous.
I have a short sleeve button down warm-up kind of shirt that I really like. I usually wear that to games.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
i think all jerseys look sort of like dresses. i don’t buy them, because i haven’t shaved my legs recently.

Not my cup of tea although I really love Mike Watt as a person.
He is about as nice a person as there is in rock and roll.
"Religion is the banana skin: spirituality is the banana." ~ Roger Nygard, "The Nature of Existence"
I am very close to the fellow who used to run his website. This webmaster’s health has taken a turn for the worse, so he no longer does it for Watt; however they are still very close friends and Watt and I have swapped some e-mails through him.
It is SO COOL that Watt is in the Stooges, whenever Iggy wants to do it. He freaking loves that band.

If you play Halo Reach, better check your brain at the wardrobe to get the full fun
I sometimes don’t get the design and quality control of massive A-level games and design studios that do nothing else. They eliminated about all the religious mumbo-jumbo that dragged down the previous titles: Good. But you still have those massive open world maps where nothing is happening. Drive something around: Shoot five people. Drive something around: Shoot five people. Awesome. Gimme some stuff happening on those maps. And you are driving to battle mostly with helicopters and jeeps, in a game that is like 5000 years into the future. Against spaceships. Oh my, innovation must have taken a serious timeout for some time if the jeep is still the primary object of combat. They even seem to have eliminated most of the tanks that were there in previous iterations. And for a game that is widely lauded for its advanced AI (the enemies really behave pretty well and hard to predict), your friendly AI is garbage. My automated buddy Jorge or whatever he’s called is like 9 feet tall, has a giant weapon, and hits nothing. Thus the enemy can focus on exclusively attacking me. So frustrating.
But I guess the Halo fanboys will love it. /End Rant

Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has signed forward/center Andray Blatche to a contract extension and has exercised its fourth-year option on center JaVale McGee. Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not released.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Why give a contract extension to a troubled player who's still got two seasons left on his contract?
Not just an extension
It’s a re-negotiation using cap room. Blatche will now make more than $30 million over the next 5 years…..
Yes, he played really well in the second half of last year. Still…..
There is a bad history with extending players who are headcases.
Particularly those that have shown potential for short periods and been rewarded for it. In Blatche’s case he became the focal point of the offense and put up gawdy stats because of it. That will never happen again. Bad move Wizards.

I might have been able to fight it.
But doing so would require going to the DMV and fighting it there, then taking it to the courthouse and fighting it there, meanwhile contending with the collection agency that has all kinds of tricks for making sure they get their moneys (including litigation). On top of that, I’d likely have to pay at least the initial ticket. Frankly, for me it’s worth paying the extra money up front and getting it over with than it is to take the time off work and seeing where this rabbit hole goes
Yeah I don't think you'd have gotten out of the insurance changes
But it was definitely a matter of deciding whether the amount of work was worth it. The system has all the advantages in this situation.

Pixelmator. I think BRP used Photoshop. And I copied some of his to have the same pictures where it fit, and some from the “historic events if they happened in Facebook” spoofs and other images. I used Lucida Grande for the typeface which I think it really is (not sure about the exact size and boldness), and 70/100/150 for the blue texts which seems about right.

As first reported by the New York Times, an entire copy of NBC’s television broadcast of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series was recently found in a wine cellar at Crosby’s old home near San Francisco.
That game — which will celebrate its 50th anniversary on Oct. 13 — is one of the greatest in World Series history and ends with Bill Mazeroski’s dramatic walk-off homer to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 10-9 victory and a World Series win over the New York Yankees dynasty.

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I wonder why GS never did sign him

It's a bit odd that the Warriors seem to make Smart the head coach, when they have an assistant with more upside waiting in the wings in Stephen Silas. But maybe comes too early for him.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban

Pargo was supposed to go to Golden State this summer on a two-year deal, but a knee scope/sale of team scotched the contract…
Chris Paul likes this. Not.
Those are not exactly the reinforcements he wanted to have.

"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I really wonder a bit what Monty and his new GM (who should have experience from the Spurs) are seeing in that roster. You converted 3 decent assets in Collison, Brackins (Blazers scouts were very high on him according to Ben) and Songaila who is serviceable into this???
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Maybe it’s a “lost season” strategy, in 2011 they have some cap space and there will be a lot of quality MLE-level players running around although the year is thin or stars. That plan only gets a huge hole if Paul loses his mind before that happens (or if “the lockout I don’t believe in” happens).
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
No idea
Paul/Ariza/Okafor/West does not look to me to be a core ready to compete for a championship.
And even if there is no lockout and no decrease in the salary cap, does $12 million to fill 6 roster spots sound like enough to significantly change the roster?
No, but even among unrestricted free agents there is quite a lot of quality next year. Perkins, Prince, Powe, Moon, Parker, the other Parker, Butler, Smith, maybe Nene, Battier, Z-Bo, Redd, Kapono, Richardson, Joel, Kirilenko, Josh Howard, …
I think it’s an underreported topic that the 2011 offseason has not the star power of 2010, but could seriously help some teams round out their rotation and make them championship contenders. Not necessarily the Hornets though…
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban

The Big Bang Theory demolished Community in their respective season openers, for which I am pleased.
That was to be expected.
One is a young show without an established fanbase, the other is one of CBS’s biggest hits and had a huge ad campaign. The Office rebounded to a better rating than a year ago, despite increased competition, which was one of the bigger surprises of the night.
I wish The Big Bang Theory would've made better use out of Mayim Bialik, but the subplot with ...
Leonard, Raj, and Howard — who’s by far my favorite character on the show — was comedic genius for a network sitcom.
I'm still on season one, but I expect to be caught up within a few weeks.
God is not a zachhole
-Mrs.Elgin
Yeah, The Big Bang Theory basically hit its stride from the get-go; thus, no bad seasons.
Back to Mayim Bialik, though, I think she’d be the perfect celebrity hook-up for Jake, with the only caveat — albeit a deal breaker of one — being that she’s married with kids.
This, by the way, is comedy gold, with a "Blossom" apperance.

it was the firefox update, because I can’t hit back and return to the junk without reloading.
On an unrelated note, check out something ridiculously dumb. I have my Xbox hooked up to my monitor via HDMI. Thus, the sound comes out of the monitor. But there’s no audio out on the monitor, and the only audio out on the Xbox is toslink, which I don’t have.
So there’s no way to get audio from the Xbox except from the speakers… which isn’t too helpful when you have a roommate.
Dumb dumb dumb.
You should consider watching garage sales and stuff for a cheap receiver (50 bucks or less) with toslink in
I think that may be your best option.
Well, I'm probably going to use Christmas to pick up a sound system that has toslink.
it’s just frustrating in the interim.
woah, coooooool.
I don’t really care about good, I just want audio.
Thanks, I’m gonna go check reviews.

I was surprised how many women watched wrestling
As I am surprise how many men watch Jersey Shore.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
In my heyday of watching wrestling, it surprised me how many female marks loved Jeff ...
Hardy. Nowadays, though, I think the female marks are into the more traditional looking John Cena, who’s also marketable with children in the bland PG era being presented currently by the WWE.
I, however, am an odd guy, for I like mat wrestlers with good in-ring technique. That includes guys such as Chris Jericho, C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, and even veterans like William Regal, who’s unfortunately been pushed down the card to jobber to the stars status.
I, too, enjoy some performers with average in-ring abilities who make up for it by having five-star mic skills, with The Miz being awesome — for the lack of a better word — in that regard.
Regarding non-WWE promotions, I’ve got a friend in Michigan who thoroughly enjoys Ring of Honor. Yet, it’s hard for me to get into it, since I’m here in the Pacific Northwest and ROH is a regional promotion for all intents and purposes.
UO vs ASU... wooo hooo

it doesn’t matter. if UO loses once, with that nonconference schedule, they won’t play in the title game. if they go undefeated, they will leap boise
probably true
unless everybody loses at least one game and a few key teams like Bama lose two… which is unrealistic

they are bad against spread offenses. bsu runs a pro style offense.
also, september 25, 2008
NEVER FORGET
here’s why it’s gonna be close.
1) the osu coaching staff knows boise state. nothing they do, aside from some crazy trick play, is going to surprise them
2) quizz is the perfect running back that can burn that boise defense. they do a great job containing fast fast guys, but they struggle with north south runners (which jacquizz, despite all his shiftiness, really is). i would expect to see a lot of osu punding the ball up the middle (or behind michael phillipp on the left side), and then mix it up with deep bombs to james rodgers or markus wheaton. boise state was burned pretty bad by va tech on deep throws.
3) boise’s scheme plays right into the hands of osu’s best defensive player. boise does not have a great o line like tcu, and i believe they’ll have to commit double and triple teams to stop him. they like to beat you up inside and then hit you for a big gain with one of their fast rbs,and i think paea will prevent them from executing that plan like they want to.
4) moore doesn’t have a real great arm. he’s accurate as hell, but they are forced to throw passes that are short, and allow their great receivers to make plays after the catch. this is great because brandon hardin is terrible at defending the deep lobs — quick slants and outs will make it easier on him
what time are these games on?
isn’t the UO game on at 7 or something? OSU game earlier?

Random question of the night
What do people use as their browser’s homepage?
I’m thinking about changing mine.
I use firefox with a quick links toolbar.
So all the sites I use are just below the address bar… Bedge, email, UW email, ESPN, etc.
it is switching fully in July.
UW google apps is very cool, just makes a second gmail account for school.
Wow they moved to google apps?
Surprising. UW basically invented parts of the e-mail infrastructure, so it’s weird that they’re switching to a packaged solution.
that is the sound of something wooshing over my head.
We got an email last week, saying that we had better get our stuff off their servers before summer, or else.
Just me thinking out loud.
That’s interesting though. So before this, you just used e-mail software like Windows Mail?
they had something called webpine.
that was also just web accessible.
Then of course outlook and the like.
Webpine? Outstanding.
UW created pine, a piece of unix software for viewing mail, in the early 90’s. You’d be scared if you ever saw it in action. I don’t know if I’m shocked they were using a variant, or not surprised at all.
I just found some screenshots though. Looks like webpine was at least decent to deal with?
I love pine!
I didn’t know UW create pine. Did they create pico too?
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I never found a faster text editor than pico
Or a faster email tool than pine. I remember when SDSU wanted us to start checking our email via some webmail interface and I kept holding out because it was so much slower than pine.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I still use pico on occasion, it's still baked into ubuntu.
As long as you were on a fast server, nothing was quicker than pine. Especially on dialup.
Yea. We have pico built into our work’s linux web servers, and I still use pico for my html/php/ruby edits.
I just tried to telnet into portland state’s server to see if I could still use pine to check my email in there, but I cannot even find the student server. I thought it was called oden. Oh wait, maybe that’s odin.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Pretty selfish of them.
I mean they’ve had an odin server for years! And who cares if he’s the god of the vikings so it makes perfect sense, they should have changed it to oden in 2007!
I miss unix prompts.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Install ubuntu if you have a spare machine.
You’ll get used to unix prompts again quickly. I use pico for making changed to config files.
I do have a spare machine.
Not too powerful but ubuntu doesn’t have the overhead either. And have been wanting to try ubuntu again. This is a good idea and will add much to my home network. Thanks for the thought!
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
No problem
You can install from a usb flash if you wish now, too. There’s a beta of the upcoming 10.10 release, which is going to go final in just a few weeks, if you want to wait for it.
Yeah I have enough to focus on in the next week anyway so I'll wait.
And that’s perfect. I was just trying to decide if I’d need to burn me a disc of ubuntu. Flash drives FTW!
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
The site even links you to software
you can use to make the bootable flash drive with the image.
I usually do full ubuntu, but the netbook remix is great for netbooks. I’m not sold on the update 10.10 netbook interface yet though
I will also spend some more time at the site.
Good stuff there.
I will definitely do full ubuntu and maybe will even look into play with cloud computing within my intranet. Always wanted to test what I could do with that.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
Oh, forgot to mention.
You have two choices this year: google, or Web Alpine. I assume it’s the newer version of Webpine. It’s actually very nice looking.
Hmmm
knowing that UW created it, I kinda want to switch from gmail to Alpine.
do you know what is going on with the servers? If I get on a university computer, I can access a few servers, like “dante.” Just curious if they’re for faculty or students or….?
by Cablinasian on Sep 24, 2010 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions
If you're used to gmail, it'll probably be nice to use the same interface
across all your e-mail accounts.
Dante is still active? Wow. I don’t know what it’s used for now, but I bet it’s for students to log into a unix shell.
Yeah, I think there's three servers that are always accessible.
I can’t remember the other two names though.
by Cablinasian on Sep 24, 2010 10:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Homer, Dante, and I'm forgetting the third.
One of them used to start with a b, like becker or something.
Yes, Homer.
that’s still around as well.
I vaguely remember one of my teachers (who has been at the school since he was an undergrad) saying that we could use a school server to save stuff from class.
by Cablinasian on Sep 24, 2010 10:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah the servers all have home directories for the students
They can transfer to pc’s or mac’s, so it can be very handy.
Becker wasn’t the third server, it was the old UW student web server I think.

Nate should certainly say something comparing coaching Durant for USA and Oden for real

Nate got defensive about how it’s his team.
He needs to tell Bernie to BACK OFF.
that’s a good one…that be tough though…who SHOULD start that won’t be this year?

but you could do something with Nate confusing Luke Babbit for Steve Blake and starting Babbitt over Andre Miller.

You should do something with the point guards
Maybe “in a relationship” with Miller and then “No Words”. Then have him jump on a rookie like he did with Green and have both Miller and Bayless say “no words.”
Uroldis Chapman, a reliever for the Reds, just came in to pitch against Adrian Gonzalez and struck him out on 3 pitchers, all fastballs. they were clocked at 101, 103, and 100.

The only team that depresses me lately is the Seattle Seahawks.
With the Seattle M’s, I’m so irritated with the franchise It’s hard to care.
It's not like the M's wasted a sure fire Hall of Famer over the majority of his career or anything.
Oh, wait.
All that disappoints me is how my 96-year-old Grandmother -- who's ...
my father’s mom and lives next door to my parents — will probably need to astonishingly live another 10 to 20 years to see a World Series win for the Seattle M’s. For me personally, though, I just grimace and bear it, with little to no expectations out of the organization.
the real seahawks showed up last week or no?
it’s time for Hasselback to be a veteren clipboard holder
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
Matt Hasselbeck is toast, yes.
Nevertheless, a 7-9 record could feasibly win the NFC West and secure a home playoff game in the Wild Card round. I, without question, would be satisfied with that outcome, especially if the Seattle Seahawks could pull off an upset win at home and make the Divisional round of the playoffs.
Meh, he's just a run-of-the-mill scatback.
I wish this team had a traditional fullback instead of the diminutive Quinton Ganther, for a guy like Brad Hoover — who’s a free agent — could help open holes for Justin Forsett. Also, the offensive line and its zone blocking system is great at containing the opposing pass rush; however, it’s mediocre at run blocking, which’ll still be the case even after Russell Okung is cleared to play.
rumblings from my sources are telling me that Oden reinjured or “tweak” his knee…so they just sent his butt home to Indiana before the playoffs to get his mind away.
basically, he had a relapse in recovery from doing something, God knows what…that’s why he is not on track.
history shows that he’s a great healer and has always healed on time…wrist, micro, etc…
this is a 3-6 month healing, and it’s how long now?
so basically, Portland Front Office / PR is hiding this , and calling it “taking it slow” when i believe he re-injured it somehow….cuz i believe my sources
I’d meet BRP at the airport, not flee!! - fanfaraway
yeah, so this “not rushing him back” is all b.s. to me

i figured he was fine and they just didn’t want to hype everything again. but this would be worse than that. and judging by my reaction, i think i’m finally numb to the Oden injuries. that can only be a good thing.

He’s clearly a funny guy, which takes some brains. I’d say there’s a good chance he was never given much of an education. He might come off a lot differently if he’d had better schooling.
For my money, I’d say Bayless may be the smartest guy on the team (relative to age). He seems sharp every time I hear him. Of course, growing up with money and going to good schools will make you sound that way.

It's Saturday night (tonight, now that it's 2am).
I just sent a few friends some messages about it, but they are likely asleep. I don’t wanna go to it alone since I’m sure there will be some cool stuff and I wanna go “oh hey, cool” with someone else, and I am sure there will be pretentious crap, and I wanna go “oh hey, look how much that sucks” to someone else also.

I tried to be a baby and sleep
But it wasn’t happening.
How are you tonight?
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I ok!
I got home late-ish and am still wound up. I gotta be somewhere by noon, and should maybe sleep, but I am wide awake.
Did Wally wake ya up?

Whoa, going to Hawaii?
Nice! I ain’t doing anything like THAT, just doing my weekend work. I help a friend on his project every weekend. Starting at noon is nuthin’, o’ course.

A house, or a work project?

That sounds remarkably similar to how my house painting has gone this summer
Guess what? My house is the same color is was 3 months ago.

My wife is nuts
She went and got samples then asked me to paint them on the wall. She didn’t bother to buy paint brushes.
Today she called me and asked me to go buy the paint. I said, “Hell no, you get the colors you want. I’m not doing that because I don’t care and you do.” So then she said, “Can you go buy all the supplies now?” And I’m like, “Why, we don’t have paint yet?” So now I’m going to buy all the crap after work and I’m positive she won’t buy the paint.
I have all the supplies for work, so I don't have a good excuse
I have 1 wall that I painted the samples on, and they’ve been there for about 6 weeks. I needed to do a bunch of caulking before pressure washing the house. I got the caulking done. We’ll see if it gets done before winter. I’m not feeling super optimistic.

First option is bad because I want to do a good job
Second option is bad because I don’t want to pay someone to do it.

Ours is for the inside
We got a friend who wants to help and he keeps trying to force us to get rolling. I’m afraid they’ll screw stuff up or be sloppy.
I cut down a tree and he wanted to rent us a dumpster as a gift. So I told him to wait until we had enough rubbish to fill a dumpster. And then I said, “We should just paint first.” So now he wants to paint ASAP. I thought I was moving the responsibility onto my wife and it might have backfired.
It's a work project
I act as a manager of sorts on it. We start at noon tomorrow, and prolly end by dark.
And then I hope to go to the art exhibit thingy at the beach.

Man I want one so bad
I’ve been working every Sunday for a while, so I haven’t gone, but there’s a massage school near me that does 2 hour massages for 60 bucks on Sundays. And they’re always just as good as any “pro” masseuse.
(Before the obvious joke, no, it’s not a FULL RELEASE type massage)
It’s the one thing that helps my back.
Plus since it’s a school, ya ain’t allowed to tip them even if ya wanna. It’s a great deal.

Was it one of those sneaky farts that are actually a poop?
It happened to me once when I was 12 or so. I still don’t know what happened. I guess they’re a thing.

How can you be sure?
They’re very stealthy. You might have seen one and not noticed.

Hehe. There are odder quotes in that interview. But I'm saving it for a post, unless I can't come to a story.

I liked Algebra
As with other math classes, there is a right answer. No wishy-washy “pretty good” or “close.”
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I get it, but I never had a natural feel for it, or much fun. I'm clearly not a finance or math person.
I was pretty good in high school in the end, but under stress it was still one of my worst subjects.

I am bad at fancy pants math
I am pretty good and quick with every-day math, but fancy pants math… I have a tough time understanding the “why” an answer is what it is. I am glad there are people good at it, and it’s easy to have machines do that stuff for me.
My brain is programmed much more for the creative side, and there ain’t machines who can fake that just yet.

That seems like a step down from her hotel job, hehe

Nice
I’ve been to a club like that about 3 times. I bet she’s gone at least a dozen times since we moved here. Last time I went with them I fell asleep.
One thing I find curious, as a bodyologist
Is trying to figure out the how and why of why some people look good in pictures/film, and some don’t.
I am going through Facebook photos of my friends on my “real life” Facebook, and some people who are so pretty in person photograph so horribly. I want to know why.
And a few who are very average looking, look amazing in pictures. It’s so strange.
For my actor friends, you first gotta be lucky enough to appear interesting enough in pictures and film, and then also be lucky enough to have that unquantifiable quality of being “there” on camera, having a presence. Some people are so flat, and there ain’t nuthin’ they can do about it.
#52
I got some actor friends
Who I know will never be successful… and not necessarily because they aren’t talented as actors, because most are fine, but they are just too boring on camera. No real presence, or a very generic one. Good looking, but not interesting looking to go along with it.
It bums me out, because I know it’s all they ever wanted to do and be, and no matter how hard they work, I don’t think they’ll be able to do it. They just don’t got “it”.
That would suck.

I need more hot friends on facebook
I posed on my wall once that all the women needed to make their profile photo a bikini picture.
Since I got a lotta actor friends, or aspiring actors
Everyone uses their head shots for their profile photo, and they often look real good.
But there is something about the “head shot industry” that makes straight male actors look so, so gay. I would say 75% of my male actor friends who are straight, have head shots that are extremely homoerotic. It’s so widespread, I don’t know how to account for it.
I know some friends have shown me their pics and tell me how the photographer got them to lower their pants to show some crack or the top of their crotch, and they just do it, and then wonder why their photos look homosexually themed.
But not all of them, so I dunno why it seems to be this way. They all just have a smile or pose where I, as a dude who is extremely comfortable and okay with homosexuality, say “that is the gayest picture I’ve ever seen”.
#52
All my friends are fat
One chick added me and I added her, looked at her photos and had no idea who she was but saw she was friends with a girl I dated in 11th grade from a different school. It’s a good thing I dumped her.
Anyhow, the first chick is chunky as hell now but she changed her photo to a high school photo and it made me sad because she was really cute in high school. Not super hot, but one of those girls that I thought in 10 years, she’d really be sexy.
Even though I make jokes about myself a lot, I ain't that bad looking
Other places I am a 7 with potential, MAYBE, but here I am a hard 5. Everyone is really good looking. It’s dumb.
And of course, since so few are from LA, they come from a place where they are the hottest of the hot and they think that’s enough… but EVERYONE is hot here, so it’s really normal.
I am so glad I don’t wanna be an actor.
#52
Yeah LA is like college sports
People are used to being the best then they get there and they’re just average and it’s hard to deal with.
You should come here. I could do stand up with crap I write in the JD and be the funniest guy on the island.
This is the most popular guy: http://www.augietulba.com/
This is probably the 2nd most popular guy: http://www.frankdelima.com/
They all do the same thing
Make racist jokes about different types of locals, talk in pigin, and make silly faces.
I get red eyes on flash, that is bad for photos
Also I suppose having very distinct features helps. Large cheekbones, large or small lips/mouth, straight or very curved eyebrows, big eyes, etc.

Man, it took forever to get through this JD
I watched my first episode of Entourage today. I was not impressed. It should be called “5 Douches”.
I watched it for a few seasons
All while not liking it. Finally, I stopped and I don’t miss it.
I think it’s a really lame show, but I get why people like it.
#52
5 douches wouldn't be a bad name for it
But it’s one of my favorite shows. I’m trying to remember if it started out slow.
I think you 2 are the first people I know who haven’t liked it.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I watched it on DVD at first
And then a few seasons on HBO. I was entertained, but it’s pretty dumb and mostly annoying to me because it’s unrealistic and tries so hard to be cool.
People down here either love it or hate it. Not many go “meh”.
#52
I can see how folks would like it
I just know I’d spend the whole show hoping they’d get beat up. Seems like a drawn out Swingers.
I was pretty meh about Swingers
I much prefer Entourage. The guys are funny stupid.

Or if something bad happened
For longer than 2 episodes.
That parody sketch of it that was being linked to a bunch the other year was accurate, I think. Everything always just works out.

I just saw a commercial for Vampire Diaries
I think Paul Wesley looks like a young Mark-Paul Gosselaar
I'm looking for a show to watch on Hulu
Any suggestions?
Also, I see the 24 is on its 8 season. I gave up during the 3rd season or so. It got pretty old. I can’t believe they’re still making it.

It's been a while since I've seen News Radio
It’s one of my faves. I’ll watch a bit.

Watching Game Day
So far a bunch of lame signs that just say “BSU”
I saw one sign that had this photo:
And I saw a big U of O or just the O flag
BOOOOOOOO!!!!
I never liker her anyway.

Possible. Or maybe just a general swarminess that beautiful people can exude sometimes possibly did it.
I’ve met a few that made me disgusted at them the second I met them.
On a side note remember that Haarlow thread where it was announced she was leaving? I wrote a comment that said something along the lines of “Good. I never liker her anyway. Good riddance.” And it was deleted. WTZ? I remember that disturbed me kind of. I didn’t say anything remotely offensive.

Just went on the Blazers website.
purple section tix to the Cliipers games: $22 a pop.
Purple section tix to the Miami game: wait for it………………………75 US dollars.

I just tried a weightwatchers menu (they had cheap ones at my grocery store, and they looked okay for ready-made food)
I suppose the trick is that the portions are small, it doesn’t have much salt or sugar and thus it doesn’t taste all that great. You could just as well lose weight by not eating much of ramen noodles.

@johnschuhmann: Derrick Favors, Devin Harris & Quinton Ross are all practicing with the Nets this morning.
So nothing so imminent that they would be holding them out
