He has a lot of potential. He looks awkward out there and I think people are too quick to base his ceiling on the eye test rather than on how he keeps improving. People want so badly to be prescient and put notches onto their irrelevant sports blogging.<br /><br />Yes, we are in agreement. There is GS, San Antonio, and everyone else. The latter includes teams up in the long-term air such as Oklahoma, Chicago, and the Clippers with their superstars to a team like the C's with a lot of depth but not many with the highest of ceiling potential.<br /><br />The C's have a rookie named Jordan Mickey. He could be like that guy Green. He is currently in Maine with the D-League. Maybe that is what you meant by Bradley having played in Maine.<br /><br />He is a mini-Bill Russell, period. He's six eight and can jump with long arms. He can be a rebound/block machine. He would have been perfect for last night's game, but for some reason the decaying fossil called David Lee is still getting a lot of minutes. For the love of God, please put the fork into him. He's cooked.<br /><br />Amir Johnson is the real deal. No one knows about him because he's been playing for Toronto. And Pau Gasol, wow, kudos to the dinosaur still getting it done. I am not exactly sure for ages, but right now I'd rather have Gasol than Duncan for a dinosaur.<br /><br />The C's are very close, closer than most probably think. They are missing one superstar and a few of their own simply aging a little bit and garnering confidence and consistency.<br /><br />They say Durant is going to Washington, but I see it as he is more likely to go to Boston if he is looking for the best spot to land in regards to winning titles.<br /><br />It may be time to put the fork into Gortat.<br /><br />The Celtics have exposed Washington a couple times. I know Durant's family/friends are there, but I don't imagine he will want to play for them unless they start playing more like they did last year.<br /><br />Danny loves to make trades. We shall see. I don't want Carmelo, Kevin Love, or Cousins. I don't want a big ego superstar. It would damage the team's chemistry. Durant could be the missing piece. You could start him with Crowder off the bench.<br /><br />pg Smart<br />sg Bradley<br />sf Durant<br />pf Olynyk<br />C Amir Johnson<br /><br />That's 55-60 wins right there. Or switch out Olynyk with some mysterious option like Jordan Mickey or someone to be determined. Keep guys like Thomas, Evan Turnover, and Gieuseppe Jerebko for a bench. I like Olynyk a lot.<br /><br />It's all about chemistry. I like Olynyk because he can play outside the paint and be a facilitator and not get in the way of the second big big who can score inside or isn't known for drilling threes or even two pointers.<br /><br />I am rambling. It is your fault.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-8919344991122725392015-12-12T16:41:01.965-05:002015-12-12T16:41:01.965-05:00Thanks for the interesting comments.
The C's ...Thanks for the interesting comments.<br /><br />The C's were a bit off with rebounding. Sullinger had close to 40 of them (maybe 36) in his previous two games. That guy is a natural at rebounding, but he is taking forever to get into shape. I think he could be right under the transcendent tier at basic all-star level if he got into shape. High BB iq. Long arms. Very strong, though he might have the best butt in hoops history. But you couldn't keep him in the game, not against GS. If he lost the weight, maybe last night would have gone differently based on the rebounding stat.<br /><br />I noticed no one on GS had an answer for Kelly Olynyk. He is a former pg who had a major growth spurt at a late age. It'd be like any of us waking up one year from being six wtf feet to seven.<br /><br />He is very Bird/Nowitski like in his methodical slow white man gets it done somehow manner. Or Pierce wasn't exactly the fastest player, but he could still never be stopped on his younger day drives to the hoop.<br /><br />They had to go to Bogut to try to slow down Olynyk. And at that point, when you are forcing GS out of what they do best, in a way you have thrown them off-balance.<br /><br />Yeah of course you missed the game, so I can't cry too much. This guy Olynyk for example would just be standing there, hands up high, does the vertical leap, does nothing to no one, and then gets called for the foul. GS was bailed out too many times by the refs.<br /><br />Maybe my Hagler-Leonard analogy was over the top. I am assuming Hagler won that fight. I am sure there are other examples of boxing matches where the winner was definitely not the true winner.<br /><br />That was last night's game.<br /><br />The C's are one or two players away. They have the "assets" in place to make a trade for a disgruntled dude. I think you have missed the boat on Bradley. Last year he had the same green light. This year he is finally knocking down shots maybe not as good as a robot like Curry, but he is certainly not putting up percentages near Isaiah's.<br /><br />You have to keep in mind that players are leaving college after one or two years. This dude Amir Johnson is only 28, but he's been in the league for ten years. Some of these guys are much younger than it seems. Isaiah Thomas is only 25. Bradley and Sully and Olynyk etc. are all around 23-24.<br /><br />You are correct about the Green guy. He was the MVP from last night.<br /><br />If I was Ainge, I'd try to trade Sullinger and waive David Lee if Brad Stevens wants to keep playing him. I don't care if he's still able to have two good games out of every ten.<br /><br />(continued)Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-63650918530288729952015-12-12T15:40:51.926-05:002015-12-12T15:40:51.926-05:00One other stat says it all and that is rebounds. G...One other stat says it all and that is rebounds. GS 67 (17 offensive) Boston 51 (11).<br /><br />Curry the point guard had 11. And Green had a monster game, one of only like 6 players in the last 30 years to have a 5x5 game. He is becoming a transcendent player too. A power forward with several triple doubles this year. <br /><br />When and if Boston gets at least one of this calibre of guy on their roster they will start winning these types of games and become part of the contending conversation. It doesn't appear that any of the current players have that potential and I was surprised to see that many of their guys have been in the 4-5 years already so in their primes. I thought they were all 1-3 year guys recently drafted.<br /><br />Yes, they are playing well as a team but honestly I don't see them quite there yet at the same level as SA, Cleveland and GS. But definitely their star is pointing up you and 538 were prescient there. 7-5 at home isn't too good, but that could be more from tough schedule? Either way the truly contending teams always dominate at home during the regular season. Period.<br /><br />I'm not sure if OKC belongs either although they definitely have some transcendent studs, chemistry might be the problem. Same with the Clippers. And supposedly Durant is gone after this year to Washington which could further change the Eastern Conference.<br /><br />What indicates transcendence to me beyond Curry and Green is more style and more hustle on GS part, which along with O boards means more free throws. This is akin to the Wooden formula of total team transcendence. GS gets to the line a lot in all their games because they outquick and outhustle with superior ball movement and that adds up to more calls in their favour, but I don't disagree the NBA has to be the toughest game to call of any sport, although football has gotten more difficult too. And I didn't see the game last night so can't comment on the officials. I just know winners seldom complain about officiating.<br /><br />Tin foil Theory must always be considered possible as there have been crooked officials exposed in the recent past. Gambling and point spreads. They should pay the officials a mill a year and see if that doesn't put an end to it.<br /><br />I used to whine a lot about Jordan too in his day. So for Curry that is a badge of honor for him.donkeytalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567075684155583796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-39762837675719487612015-12-12T15:08:30.657-05:002015-12-12T15:08:30.657-05:00The free throw disparity says it all.

The refs were either manipulated in a subconscious manner or the league asked the refs to make sure GS had the edge.... and of course they don't want the FBI on their arses or have to pay the FBI too much to keep them off their arses for cheating.<br /><br />I still see no explanation for what happened with Lakers-Kings in 2002.<br /><br />Talk about a ripoff. The Kings were robbed and the NBA looked not much different than fake wrestling.<br /><br />There should be zero star and rookie calls. If the problem is psychological, then send the refs to shrinks. If it's rigged, then only teams with a chance should give a rat's arse about the NBA.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-12283181525801322242015-12-12T14:57:18.648-05:002015-12-12T14:57:18.648-05:00That winning seven straight on the road being equi...That winning seven straight on the road being equivalent to a baseball team coming back from 0-3, that sort of challenge, well, I'd need to know how often teams have been on seven game road trips.<br /><br />What about the Bulls team which went 72-10 or the Lakers winning 33 in a row.<br /><br />It sounds like made up gravitas if GS beats up on the mediocre or actually a pitiful team in Milwaukee.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-84784845930661415502015-12-12T14:54:12.320-05:002015-12-12T14:54:12.320-05:00Yes, I think I predicted GS by five or ten and it ...Yes, I think I predicted GS by five or ten and it was a five point win.<br /><br />It is very difficult to find a trap game for for GS. The Celtics could have been the one, but they have been getting hyped to the yin-yang this month.<br /><br />Milwaukee simply sucks as a team. The only advantage they have over truly bad teams is that they are not too bad and are actually trying to win games. Brooklyn almost did it. But they have no draft pick and frustrated vets.<br /><br />A true trap game would probably be say Miami if they are missing Wade or something. Perhaps Orlando. I have no idea what GS's schedule looks like.<br /><br />I suppose as a Boston fan I should be rooting for GS to break the Laker record for most consecutive wins. I see that Boston is now within 35 wins of tying LA for most wins all-time.<br /><br />Like you say, the only thing that matters is who wins the last game.<br /><br />As in titles.<br /><br />It is a long season and GS is one Curry nagging hamstring pull or wtf away at the end of the year to piss away their mini-dynasty aspirations.<br /><br />The C's probably at a minimum put a dent into GS's reign of terror.<br /><br />Other teams can now see what the C's did to make it an extremely close game.<br /><br />Hmmm, now that I think about it, not only did I predict a 5-10 pt. GS win, I also called it a pick 'em. Two overtimes with the C's having two chances to outright win means I called it exactly.<br /><br />Yes, I have noticed that Isaiah Thomas for all his greatness is not that good at shooting.<br /><br />He needs more practice.<br /><br />He also needs Danny to find him a stud or two like Bradley who can knock them down to take the pressure off.<br /><br />Isaiah is the sort who gets to the free throw line a lot. So that's his defense for not shooting as good as one would like. Field goal percentage doesn't mean as much if someone is piling it up with free throws.<br /><br />And you are correct Curry didn't have as bad a game as it seems. Though he did make those turnovers and the C's did often attack him at the other end whenever there was a mismatch. <br /><br />He chucked up some air balls. He looked pretty bad at the end of the game playing hero ball.<br /><br />The Celtics basically put the fear of God into GS.<br /><br />A Seattle baseball team went nuts during the regular season one year then came up with zilch in the playoffs.<br /><br />GS may be getting over-hyped.<br /><br />It's not like Cleveland was at full strength in the Finals. Also, other than San Antonio, which team in the NBA has a realistic chance of winning it all? Oklahoma perhaps.<br /><br />The Clippers are a nice schadenfreude outlet for those of us who never thought Doc Rivers was a bag of chips or that he was stale, mail it in chips with moldy salsa.<br /><br />The C's are definitely now in the hunt. Maybe they make a move and jump into the top tier. Maybe they have to wait a couple more years for draft picks to kick in.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-59648333395807642982015-12-12T12:19:21.442-05:002015-12-12T12:19:21.442-05:00This concludes todaze stat padding.

Bfore last night something like .419 from 2 and .321 from 3.<br /><br />Curry had a terrible night by his standards but looky here: he still went 6-13 beyond the arc and 14-14 from the line.

If one didn&#...I was prescient about Avery Bradley. If one didn't know who was Curry and who was Bradley, they might think Bradley is the one at the top of the NBA zeitgeist mountain.<br /><br />Isaiah Thomas blows my mind. He is not inept at shooting jumpers. He is very streaky, however, and that probably makes him a backup microwave off the bench if one were to bet on his ceiling.<br /><br />Last night reminded me of all the times the C's beat down and embarrassed LeBron. Teams with one superstar do not beat good teams. You can place a bet on that too.<br /><br />It takes a balance. You need a couple guys you can count on. They don't have to be immortal, but they need to be very good.<br /><br />This is why Houston is falling apart. Harden might be the one to draft for fantasy hoops, but I wouldn't go near him for building a championship team.<br /><br />DeMarcus Cousins is another player I do not have confidence in. Guys like Magic and Bird dominated the league because in addition to their greatness, they were total team regular guys. Tom Brady is another classic example. For a guy with movie star looks and a supermodel wife, he knows where his bread is buttered, and it's by his buddies who share the locker room.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-18076319850475379172015-12-12T11:19:54.968-05:002015-12-12T11:19:54.968-05:00As I tweeted last night, the Celtics were the bett...As I tweeted last night, the Celtics were the better team and deserved the win last night. It was a home game in the middle of a long season, so that's not saying much.<br /><br />And if GS has both of their guards, they are pretty much unbeatable. When one only has to deal with Curry, he becomes much easier to troll. That dude got very discombulated towards the end of the game. He stepped out of bounds three times. Those were unforced errors by Mr. MVP.<br /><br />The Celtics also lost because Brad Stevens messed up twice not calling timeouts with chances to win the game. He too is developing as are the young players.<br /><br />And don't forget the refs. Sure, every homer always complains about the refs as being unfair to their team when it just might be that reffing hoops is the equivalent of taking a poll. Good luck?<br /><br />The conspiracy theorist might imagine that the league wants GS to remain undefeated as long as possible or for as long as it takes to get in some more national games with them as undefeated.<br /><br />Last night was available to only two cities and to anyone who buys the NBA league pass or if they go to unauthorised streaming sites.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-74318456493564880812015-12-12T11:13:08.201-05:002015-12-12T11:13:08.201-05:00I have no excuses for not being more aware of Haml...I have no excuses for not being more aware of Hamlish's fake gravitas platform.<br /><br />Memories is the prime example of a song that sucked but somehow became #1 based on a dumbass audience willing to eat anything.

They just have different equipment, so to speak.<br /><br />Everything (er, uhm, mostly) is based on socialisation, i.e. big picture mind games.<br /><br />I do imagine you are correct that sexuality is possibly underrated for explaining social angst/issues.<br /><br />I just woke up in a puddle. No, not that. Take your mind out of the gutter, my friend! It was a pool of saliva. I tend to sleep Three Stooges style and truly enjoy it. The only thing better than food and making love is sleep.

I may have fallen asleep in the theatre before Lenin even returned triumphantly from Switzerland, or wtf.<br /><br />But anyway, Beatty spliced some interview commentary into the narrative from people who were alive at the time that I found way more interesting than the movie itself.<br /><br />One old guy who talked with a matter fact Brooklyn accent was none other than the grate Henry Miller of Tropic of Cancer fame. This was right before he died in his 90s. I recall one of his comments: "There was as much fucking going on then as there is now, only we had our hearts in it."<br /><br />That line cracked me up but like much of Miller's best schtick it had the authentic ring of street truth that I strive for with my own schtick.<br /><br />Not saying necessarily that people were more sincere back then but the thought occurs that what he stated is what great sex is all about (at least most of the time in my experience) in the final analysis. <br /><br />Two people getting together who have their hearts into it for themselves and each other.<br /><br />When you discover the right level of intensity, the right movement, the right motion and you go slow and relaxed is when it is best, building into something awesome that is shared, heartfelt and physically an emotionally satisfying.<br /><br />Finding that place which works for both is usually a matter of trial and error, sort of like partner dancing.<br /><br />Practice makes perfect.<br /><br />I'm done.donkeytalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567075684155583796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-45510735819026020102015-12-12T08:37:46.060-05:002015-12-12T08:37:46.060-05:00Er, I mean, I guess it is all in the mind, but ben...Er, I mean, I guess it is all in the mind, but beneath a layer of consciousness, to be exact.<br /><br />Score another one for Siggie.donkeytalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567075684155583796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-86103605697767459962015-12-12T08:32:41.668-05:002015-12-12T08:32:41.668-05:00Of course, I am assuming this was about you.

It was from a huge chick flick in the 70s of the same name also starring goyish Prince Charming Robert Redford. Hamlisch was also responsible for the hit Broadway musical "A Chorus Line" which I believe is like the longest running Broadway musical in infotainment herstory. He probably earned a few sheckles along with the accolades.<br /><br />He probably also had some other schtick that exceeds our blog fame by a notch or two. <br /><br />As for the female orgasm, the good news (for her anyway) is that you care about it all. This puts you well ahead of 98% of most guys. OTOH, some chicks can only get off with guys who disdain them so the point is, when it comes to female sexuality one can never be too sure about anything.<br /><br />I would advise experimentation. If she gets off in a different manner that may be all there is, and there is nothing wrong with that. <br /><br />I had a GF once it took literally 45-60 minutes, some times longer. <br /><br />I looked at it as aerobic exercise and I was just greatful that in my 40s I could hold it up that long. In my 20s I was more like 45-60 seconds. She was obviously very appreciative and reciprocation is what it's all about. <br /><br />So, the main thing is if you dig each other's company. Sex is a weird deal. It is not all in the mind. Sometimes the one you get along with best is not necessarily the best sex partner. <br /><br />I guess if we had it all figured out what would be the point? I've been married 3 times and had numerous other types of relationships over a long career as a horndog.<br /><br />I'm no Wilt the Stilt, but I been around the world a few times, if you know what I mean.<br /><br />At the end of the day, it is all vanity and a striving after the wind but I still look at people that have been married once, monogamous all their lives, apparently happy (who knows for sure?) and I can't say I would exchange places with them even after all the sinful heartache and abuse I caused and my various partners caused me.donkeytalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567075684155583796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-29750775385087885742015-12-11T02:20:34.058-05:002015-12-11T02:20:34.058-05:00Okay, I've one more response because I have th...Okay, I've one more response because I have the other thread to mail in some stuff to.<br /><br />I don't know Hamlisch. It's a famous name, no debate there. I do recall Edith Bunker had a deep affinity for the work of Henry Mancini. Myself, I was more of an aficionado for Edith Head's costume work. Haha, I jest with old school movie fetish digressions.<br /><br />The Hal Turner connection is with Facebook or whatever the ptb's are claiming for an ISIS connection.<br /><br />Yes, this was Bonnie and Clyde on steroids. It was no different than Timothy McVeigh or other cases of mass murder.<br /><br />There will always be random nuts who tarnish the name of others. Those people had nothing to do with ISIS. They had more to do with Bonny and Clyde, as mentioned previously. Or Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake. What about my prime, Mick?<br /><br />Okay, I'll concede that the Latino guy became Muslim. I'll take your word for it. It still has no bearing on anything. I saw that Jeb Bush is using this as an example to ramp up civil liberty violations on Americans through the Military-Industrial Complex and police state.<br /><br />Things are pretty bad. If this isn't Bernie or bust time, then nothing makes sense.<br /><br />I'm probably more nervous than Bernie.<br />Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-4105461587581165332015-12-11T02:07:42.526-05:002015-12-11T02:07:42.526-05:00Judy Garland was the original screwed up by Hollyw...Judy Garland was the original screwed up by Hollywood child star. Most of them seemed to do okay until Buffy from Family Affair. And Uncle Bill also knocked himself off. And I think Uncle Bill's dad was married to the chick who jumped off the Hollywood sign. There was some connection there. And don't forget about Elvis. He wasn't a child star or I have no clue how old he was when he became famous. I do know the brain doesn't stop growing until 21-22.<br /><br />I like Judy in the early 60's when she became a Frank Sinatra type. Tom Jones? I always found all that Vegas/Hollywood stuff a bit amusing. Bill Murray went to the top of the zeitgeist when he mocked them with the Star Wars lounge singing schtick. But I digress. Maybe you know about these random pop culture drops or don't.<br /><br />Maybe I am some hybrid of Chauncey Gardiner and The Truman Show with a bit of Joe Dirt for comedic relief.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111653955715349434.post-56848349334618614752015-12-11T01:57:09.653-05:002015-12-11T01:57:09.653-05:00Okay, I have a question, Dr. donkeytale.
How come...Okay, I have a question, Dr. donkeytale.<br /><br />How come God put the female orgasm thingies in a place where intercourse is unlikely to get it done (for her)?<br /><br />Freud was a clever triple F, but I still think it's easy to tear down a lot of his conclusions. Sublimation? F off.<br /><br />It could be Freud's fault we are so messed up. You're telling me it was healthy to have married people sleeping in twin beds? Would it have hurt to see a little Ricky Ricardo/Lucille in action? I don't mean porn or soft porn. I mean the proof is in the youtube pudding.<br /><br />Keep it real?<br /><br />The most repressed woman I ever saw was Barbara Bush. That hairstyle and right wing old-school woman schtick was scary. Though Nancy Reagan for the same right wing angle had the Judy Garland gams you mention. Ann Coulter. I'm not seeing an adam's apple and I am not afraid of her schtick. Though I never see it. I saw it a couple months ago when she said something that helped Bernie.<br /><br />I watched the bio movie done by Lorna. It was good to see Judy Garland was a nice person who loved her kids. I don't know what was up with Minneli versus Luft, but yeah, apparently one daughter turned out healthy and the other 100% fruitcake.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDK3gjluHxo<br /><br />You can click on that one.

They went to elementary school together. They weren't living next door to each other currently but were still buddies.<br /><br />They were lifelong childhood friends. So, unless the FBI Hal Turnered him into setting up Clyde Ali (which of course is now required by Tin Foil Theory to keep the theory alive wrt the "Mexican Next Door" story) it still appears that these "terridts" were inspired but not actually connected to ISIS, unless the NSA can unencrypted some doctored online evidence from the dark net.<br /><br />The Mexican did turn into a Muslim himself along the way, so there is that.<br /><br />Muslim is the new black.<br /><br />I should call the Trump campaign and give them a new talking point.<br /><br />Any Mexican Muslims he can find need to be given the boot back across the border. Stat. Even if they are Amerikkkan Mexicans.donkeytalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567075684155583796noreply@blogger.com
