The 5/22 JD: what is/was your position ?

BlazerFan1 — Fri, 22 May 2009 05:01:02 -0000

I played basketball from age 6 to 14 (?) I was a Center/PF with great length and competitive fire that most other 6 year olds dont have. I won the city wide 12-15 year old CYO free throw championship... i dont remember how many in a row I made but it was alot ! :) Because I was the only girl in my class in 6th 7th and 8th grade, I played for All Saints Grade School and the SE Boys & Girls Club. My dad was the coach most seasons untill the end when he finally decided coaching tween girls was worse than the 6th level of Dante's Hell. In his defense, he encouraged/supported my serious attempt to play for the boys team but we all know what the Catholic Youth Organization had to say about that. . .

Strength : Great passion , very vocal, defensive stopper and can score at will . Good at the pick and roll .. nic name White Malone (i just made that up.. but it's funny b/c i totally used to throw bows like him)

Bad: difficult to establish post position without commiting tons of off. fouls. . Technical fouls out of every game-(that is not a joke)

Shane &Ron had more trouble W/ Roy than with anyone this year

"Keri: You, Sam Presti, Kevin Pritchard … there's a wave of younger GMs that have come into the league the past few years and made an impact. Is it a case where you guys are more tuned in to analysis, or to managing the luxury tax? Or are there other reasons? "

Excellent piece ... could cut and paste KP into this :)

5/15/2009 JD- History of the Mohawk

BlazerFan1 — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:40:51 -0000

The Houston Rockets have inspired me to write of the history of the Mohawk.

In America.. the popularized version of the Mohawk started with :

via www.freewebs.com

....The Mohawk Tribe get their name from Mohowa or "man eaters" . They were around untill the Dutch and French showed up .. and well the rest is American History 101.

The Clonycavan Man, a 2000-year-old male bog body found near Dublin, Ireland, was found to be wearing a Mohawk, held together with plant oil and pine resin imported from southwestern France or Spain.[1] The Mohawk, which can also be known as "Moonhawk" in some countries, is often thought to have been worn by the Mahican and Mohawk tribes, but the name may be a misnomer; it is believed that the Wyandot were the first Native American tribe to wear the hairstyle, but early French explorers mistook them for the Mohawk tribe[citation needed]. Many other accounts of Native American cultures however claim that 'In times of war, Mohawk men shaved their heads except for a scalplock or a crest down the center of their head—the hairstyle known as a roach or a "Mohawk." [2] During World War II, members of the Allied Airborne soldiers (specifically the 101st Airborne Division - the "Screaming Eagles") shaved their hair into Mohawks.[3]

(wikipedia.com)

Punk 'movement' in the 1980's popularized this hairstyle and today several renditions of the original due are the fauxhawk and eurohawk (lol).

BlazerFan1 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:20:14 -0000

sorry I deleted the other one. I didn't like the comments by myself or some of the other posting there. I also put Roy and the devil in the same sentence , which some people didn't like ,so ...SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, just wanted to help facilitate a common place to release the pent up frustration after a tough OT loss at home. Anyone that doesn't like negative comments and rants about their favorite team, while prone to irrational postings and rude insults (im guilty) please stop reading now.

Webster to return: help or harm the rotation?

BlazerFan1 — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:47:59 -0000

This was linked in the fanshots and thought I would bring up here for some actual discussion since the fanshots get no love.

Gavin this morning on 955 The Game had Mike Barrett on as a guest. Besides showering Greg Oden with praise and then trying to explain Twitter to Mike, they spoke about Martell. I had to get into work so I missed the end of the conversation, but some interesting points were brought up by MB in regards to Webster and how he could be a disruption to the rotation if he comes back to play.

Everyone knows I <3 Nic Batum. His most valuable asset to the starting unit is his defense and movement. He's often in the right place and has been given some tough assignments that Travis cant be trusted with. Nic is needed and even though his offense is not here yet and his shot is flat most of the time, he spreads the floor and can be counted on for a 3 or 2 in each game. Even though Martell is better than Nic by a lot on offense, how much will Martell's presence hurt our defense? I think it will be a detriment and a tremendous one at that. Will his movement and conditioning be there? I doubt that after a whole year off and what, a month off the boot? Will Martell spot up for the corner 3? Of course, but is this upper body strength still there ?

I guess I pose the question, If Martell comes back before the post season, or in the post season, will he help or hurt the team more? If he is in the second unit, will he push Travis to the 4? Will Channing literally have -10 minutes or will Nic just get cut out the rotation and our 3's look like last year? Is that wise especially when Nic has proven to be such an asset to us?

I say No on the Webster. It just isn't worth it. He should recover, rest and be healthy and ready for next season.

What say you?
