July 4thish DE – Portland Radio Can EABD
I landed in PDX and tuned into some late sports show called the Couch on 750 I think?
They were discussing three things:
1. Blzers going all out to court DWill to max
2. Trading Lillard to Chicago for Korver
3. The Bleacher Report is the best source of information.
Maybe I’m a bit spoiled by the discussions here and the sports stations in NY/Philly area (You guys listen to Mike Francesa on WFAN NY? Best radio host imo) but whatever that show was on the radio was so bad it made me turn to some FM radio music station that had “Call Me Maybe” on…and I left it there (of course i was singing along!)
What’s everyone go to sports radio station?
Anyone up for a beer Thurs night? Text me, Maybe!
Whoever is in charge of making the DE the new DE, get on it, yo.

I've got a new Jambalaya column up for Monday morning. Somehow I managed to cap myself under Chris's new piece, so you'll have to scroll a little to find it.
Stupid NBA League Pass won't let me log in. I want my summer league.
@TiMB Summer League hasn't started yet.
@Dan_tm I know but you can usually log into the client before the games start. I was just doing it to check the schedule and it won't work. Maybe I'm just used to ILPBB.
Orlando starts tomorrow and now I'm worried I won't be able to watch Knight and Drummond tear it up.
Drummond will average a double double in fouls committed and missed free throws.
@Dan_tm @TiMB Meyers is going to destroy the brow in game 1, and get us all super giddy, then suck it up in game 2.
@TiMB Drummond is going to tear it up at Summer League in like 3 years. :-P
@Dan_tm Like that'd ever not happen.
Wait.... that doesn't sound right
@TiMB Maybe you won't feel as bad if Knight and Drummond don't tear it up.
Just had this thought- is this radio show "The Couch" pronounced "The Cooch?" You know how nitpicky Portlanders get over people mispronouncing street names (i.e. Weidler or Weedler)

things aren't so rosy in Minnesota apparently.
@MattBRC Master negotiator David Khan doesn't like malcontents who question the vision - that's why he didn't give the best PF in the game a 5th year, and instead went 4 years with an opt out after 3.
@blazeraddict @MattBRC K-Love to the Lakers in 2015.
@MattBRC @Tony K. @blazeraddict That would be a kick to the stones.
@Tony K. @blazeraddict that would be so depressing for Timberwolves fans.
@blazeraddict HE EVEN SAID HE'D SIGN FOR 5 YEARS GOOD LORD.
@blazeraddict @MattBRC yeah that is a pretty unbelievably awful franchise alteringly bad decision.
@christopher_m @blazeraddict I just do not understand how you don't lock Love up..
rockets are in after aaron brooks? the fuck?
@christopher_m Daryl Morey has lost his goddamn mind.
@Tony K. has anyone seen him lately?

@ben. @christopher_m Time for more milk related movie moments.

@Tony K. @christopher_m with simmons as his personal milk servant
@christopher_m Time to move to Vegas and get a penthouse apartment.
Congrats to Nigeria on making the Olympics. DR would have just had to vacate the win anyway.
@christopher_m just saw that. how come?
@jakesnake99 calipari oo
@jakesnake99 @christopher_m I think it's a Coach Callipari joke
If Ike outplays Freeland at the Olympics, we need to bring THE DIOGU back.
@jakesnake99 "The game was tied with less than six minutes left, but the Diogu hit two three pointers and Nigeria took control again."
The Diogu kicked ass.
Ike had a game today. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/09/russia-lithuania-nigeria-round-out-olympic-basketball-tournament/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
@Dan_tm I liked Ike, too.
@jakesnake99 @christopher_m Someone (maybe Maxey?) mentioned during a game that it looked like Diogu had slimmed down. I always liked him and thought he could stick in the league.
@jakesnake99 Aminuuuu
@christopher_m looks like Ike did play and was a double double machine. Also suiting up for Nigeria were Al-Farouq Aminu, Blazer summer leager Ekene Ibekwe and former UO player Chamberlain Oguchi. DR had Horfy and 'Cisco Garcia.
@jakesnake99 @The_Arkitect couldn't tell ya
@The_Arkitect @christopher_m ah, right. I'm always down with a good Calipari joke. Bit surprised Snow Horford couldn't get the DR to the games. Did Ike Diogu play for Nigeria?
Not surprised that a guy with an Irish Pride avatar felt the need to stand up for "White" people and "Country" or whatever.
@Tony K. he was championing bryant reeves? wowsers
Dude's a dipshit, though, so oh well.
because batum is replaceable

@christopher_m yeah, I wouldn't match that awful contract offer either
@christopher_m What a shitty list.
pacers should shitcan Greg Monroe. I mean all he does is score efficiently, and you'll have to pay him in two years. May as well get value for him now and sign Chris Kaman who is 75% the player and won't need a raise in two years.
@christopher_m If you just get 75% of the points you usually get, you'll lose every game!
@TiMB they can sign JJ Hickson actually. He'll give you 75% of Monroe at the minimum!
You can play that goddamn game for every player in the NBA. You'll also win about 10 games with your awesomely frugal lineup.
@christopher_m Yeah and Monroe is legitimately bad on D. Given that positional premiums are fairly similar, gotta dump that guy.
@The_Arkitect well that too.
@christopher_m He also plays for Detroit...
@christopher_m wow
