Robert Downey Jr (as TONY STARK) illustrates my currently good feeling towards LJ.
LJ has been holding my comments hostage and releasing them only under heavy negotiation in ones and twos all day. SEE THIS, LJ? THIS IS MY "GIVE ME MY COMMENTS OR I'LL PUNCH YOU IN THE SACK" FACE. >:O!
However, checking the support board I see that I'm not the only one feeling like giving LJ a good sack-punching. So that's something at least. That's like, borderline schadenfreude, isn't it? It's not that I'm taking pleasure in others' misfortunes, but I'm sure as hell pleased they're in the same boat as me.
OH NO, IT'S MY LONELY GOD COMPLEX TALKING. BRB TIME TRAVELLING TO A FIXED POINT IN TIME TO FIX LJ ONCE AND FOR ALL.
...Yeah, idek.

What the fuck were you thinking?!?!?!?!?!?
Jarrett Jack had the ball, noticed his shoe was untied, tucked the ball under his arm, bent over to ties his shoelace, and no one on the Bulls even tried to steal the ball.
Let me say that again. No one on the Bulls even tried to steal the damn ball.
As always, you don't have to believe me, there is video:
And, in case you were wondering, the Bulls lost by 32.
Something like that is beyond inexcusable, it's beyond embarrassing, it's pathetic! Dude, is bent over TYING HIS DAMN SHOE, and no one in a Bulls uni thought to play a little elementary defense.
This is a prime example of not only low bball IQ from players, it shows bad coaching, bad mentality, lack of pride. Who cares if you're down on the scoreboard, you still play the game, you don't let the other guy clown you like that.

| I'm beginning to think Portland just isn't destined to have a dominate big man |
[sun dec 6th, 2009 »6:11p] |
Going back to the Bill Walton days, Portland just hasn't had good luck with bigs. Walton and his many foot and ankle injuries (though he did stay healthy long enough back in '77 to help them to win the title), Sam Bowie and his many career threatening leg injuries, and now Greg Oden, likely out for the season with a broken left patella, the third time he's gone down with a knee injury, and will have to have surgery to repair it, his second knee surgery in 3 years.
So, to date, Oden will have had surgery on both his knees, 2 fractures in his left knee, and a foot fracture, in just 3 years. I'm beginning to think Portland would be better off forgetting about having a dominate big man, and this season, I think they can do without one. Sure, Oden has drawn all the attention, but Pryzbilla and Aldridge can carry the load for them defensively. Tthey don't get the headlines, but they've been solid for Portland.
I'd hate to write Oden off as a bust, since he a terrific player when he's healthy, but the question is going to be can he stay healthy, and with significant injuries in all 3 seasons he's played, the answer looks like it will probably be no.

So this weekend among the movies I watched were three Russell Crowe ones: Master & Commander (again!), A Beautiful Mind (yes, two movies with Russell Crowe & Paul Bettany, what of it? If I could shoehorn Robert Downey Jr into either of those movies they would be BRILLIANT!) and Gladiator (an all-time favourite), and I think I’ve figured out what it is about Rusty that appeals to me - apart from the fact that he’s a little bit older, and older men are by far my crazy alien sex pollen when it comes to dudes, and apart from general all-round looks what I occasionally find pleasing when he's in good shape, and apart from the fact he can actually act - it’s his voice.
He has one of those lovely deep, rumbly voices that I’ve ~always enjoyed. On all levels. Unf.
Now, back to my ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) yuletide fic.
...lol Russell Crowe.

The Nets finally got their first win of the season, and, coincidentally enough, it was also Kiki Vandeweghe's first win as the Nets head coach, in his first game. You could almost smell that coming.
Highlights!

Holy shit. Just got the computer back from the shop (where it's been since Weds or so) and it is fast. Fast like a fast thing!
I can do more than one thing at once without locking up! I can load internets pages in under two minutes! It's like real technology.
...and, so, of course I have to ignore it all and do work. Boo.

Utah's powerhouse of strength and OOOMPH has made the sad decision to hang up his basketball shoes. Beloved by Jazz fans as the man of power off the bench, Matt Harpring pounded his way into our hearts over the past seasons as he put up solid numbers and played basketball with a football mentality. Words cannot express how much Utah will miss Harpring.
Utah Jazz forward Matt Harpring will miss the rest of the season because "numerous surgeries" and "residual medical issues" have rendered him "unable to perform at an NBA level," the team announced Thursday.
Harpring, an 11-year veteran, has not played or practiced this season.
According to Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor, doctors have told Harpring that further attempts to continue his NBA career would be counterproductive to his long-term health.
In a statement released by the team, Harpring said, "I remained hopeful that I would be able to rejoin my Jazz teammates. ... [But] I have reluctantly come to the realization that my body can simply no longer withstand the rigors of NBA games and practices."
Harpring appeared in 665 games with Orlando, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Utah during his professional career.
He averaged 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 26.4 minutes.
During the 2002-03 season, Harpring averaged 17.6 points and 6.6 rebounds in 78 games with the Jazz, who signed him as a free agent on Aug. 15, 2002.

| Providence 12/3 |
[thu dec 3rd, 2009 »10:56p] |
I'm a combination of tired and just buzzing from the show. It was a great set tonight. I grabbed the set list from the mixer station but it was completely different then what they ended up playing.
Set list from board: "Welcome To Providence", Sink, Degausser, You Won't Know, Tommy Gun, Sic Transit, "Oldie but Goodie", Limousine, Vices, Gasoline, Sowing Season, You Stole, In a Jar, Luca, Archers, Jesus Christ, Bride, At The Bottom, Play Crack.
Besides the order being completely different swap out Luca, Limo and Play Crack for Seatbelt & Soco with 70x7 and Jude Law in there somewhere. Hopefully someone else will figure out the correct order of things. Soco ending was unexpected and very nice.

[thu dec 3rd, 2009 »11:18a] |
So there was a lot of talk about people being disappointed about the Long Island homecoming show so it made me wonder, what is everyone's favourite brand new show they have ever been to?
Picking more than one is cheating (unless they're rated 1,2,3).

| JKidd knocks Nets ownership |
[wed dec 2nd, 2009 »5:54p] |
Mavericks guard Jason Kidd isn't too surprised by the downfall of the Nets.
Kidd, who helped lift New Jersey to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances earlier this decade, will get the chance to help push the franchise to 0-18 on Wednesday night.
"It is an unfortunate situation, but that is funny how things happen," Kidd told the New York Daily News. "Why would it be me coming to play them on Wednesday and not K-Mart (Kenyon Martin) or Richard (Jefferson)? It's an awkward situation. We all helped to turn that franchise around. Now to see where it is at today and history and not the right kind of history, it's unfortunate."
Kidd says he knew the team would deteriorate once owner Bruce Ratner opted not to give Kenyon Martin a maximum contract in a money-saving move in 2004.
"I think you could see it developing when it started with K-Mart and Lucious (Harris) and Kerry (Kittles) and the pieces not being replaced," Kidd said.
"It's just one after another. It (the downfall) was something that was going to eventually happen. It reminded me of when I was with Dallas the first time (in the early '90s) and (H. Ross Perot Jr.) bought the team and it wasn't about basketball. It was about a real estate play. That is what happened with the Nets."

Is anyone in this community going to the Lupo's show tomorrow night? :)
What do you think the setlists are going to be like? My guess is that they'll be the same as the first leg of the US tour.
Also, what is the venue like? I've never been there.

| A.I. is a Sixer once again |
[wed dec 2nd, 2009 »4:57p] |
Final Answer: Iverson back with 76ers
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Allen Iverson’s first stint with the Philadelphia 76ers ended with the team yanking his nameplate off his locker and editing him out of video highlights before he was even traded.
The Sixers might want to find him a new locker and cue up some clips. Philly fans, pull out that No. 3 jersey from the closet. A.I. is a Sixer again.
In a move that appeared farfetched after their acrimonious split in 2006, the 76ers reunited with the briefly retired Iverson on Wednesday in a move designed to spike sagging attendance and fill in for the injured Lou Williams.
Coach Eddie Jordan said Iverson likely will start and stay the entire season.
“I told him I would like for him to start, and that’s where it sort of ended,” Jordan said. “And he was really like a kid at Christmas.”
Iverson will make his debut Monday night at home against Denver—one of three teams he’s called home since leaving Philly. The 10-time All-Star-turned-journeyman is determined to prove he still has something to offer in that No. 3 jersey. His new boss is betting Iverson can help the staggering Sixers make a push in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
“He’s like a rock star,” team president Ed Stefanski said.
And he’s back for his encore.
He antagonized his coaches and opponents his first time around. Perhaps humbled, he signed after being reduced to a bench player in Denver and Memphis and forced to accept the veteran’s minimum salary to return to his NBA roots.
“If there’s going to be a chance for him to do it and make it work, there’s no doubt in my mind Philadelphia is the best spot for him to try and do it,” Stefanski said.
