Pick and Scroll: If I hear one more CP3 trade scenario, my head will explode.
Nathan Begley | Friday, July 23, 2010 at 11:47AM Your daily (Mon-Fri) roundup of links from around the blogosphere, typically Trail Blazers related.
- Mike Barrett talks patience and the “Chris Paul or Bust” mentality. I continue to maintain that if Greg Oden stays healthy and out of foul trouble, Portland may quickly become a more attractive superstar destination.
- Speaking of Chris Paul, Kevin Pelton reminds us that it’s hard to trade a superstar.
- Over at Basketball-Reference Neil Paine looks at “Hot hand” theory in light of the “cool shorts” theory of confidence and superstition. Unfortunately, we can’t ask a player mid-jump shot how confident he feels that the shot will go in. So it’s difficult to measure statistically how a very subjective experience impacts a phenomenon. The difficulty of measuring such a subjective and time-sensitive event is complicated by the fact that people don’t always tell the truth. Shooter’s bravado may lead a player to claim that “he knew the shot was good the moment it left his hands.” But did he? Really? There is no way to know.
- Every Portland fan knows “You’ve got to make your free-throws.” Sebastian Pruiti over at TrueHoop Network sister site NBA Playbook demonstrates how NOT to hit your free throws.
- Rebecca Haarlow is moving on to greener (Yellow-er/Purple-er) pastures. The first time I met Rebecca was in San Antonio, about a year before Portland Roundball Society existed. I was just some fan and my wife and I had gotten in early and were standing by the visitor’s tunnel. When Rebecca came out, I knew who she was, so I called out to her and she came over and chatted with my wife and I for a good five minutes or so. She was very friendly and I appreciated he willingness to interact with fans. (Editor’s Note: HHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!)

one question...can CP3 shoot the three ball better than Dre? that would be helpful
It is possible to measure the 'do you think the shot is going in' by making some glasses that would electronically darken at the command of an operator. make it happen!
Chris Paul is a dream. He is eye candy. And Blazer fan's are clearly experiencing lust rather than love in this case. His power over us is almost hypnotic to the point that we seem willing to give up almost anything and everything in order to get him. We say, “Give them Greg... give them Nicholas...and give them Jerryd...” We seem to be so focused on the object of our affections that we are forgetting about the aftermath of, “the deal.”
We appear to be unaware that Chris Paul could turn out to be New Orleans, Louisiana, swampland. With two years left on his contract and a possible lockout year in the offing, we are more than willing to step in waist deep. If we were to consider the fact that he actually may want to play elsewhere, as he has stated, then we may want to consider water levels closer to the regions of our neck. People talk about fans drinking Kool-Aid; I think we're talking about drinking polluted water.
Gators and snakes breed like wildfire and extreme sacrifices are offered in the territories we are attempting to colonize. With a game predicated on quickness and speed, he has now begun to show signs of being infected an injury bug -- have people missed the fact that he was AWOL for a large part of last season. In addition, his height and size make him the kind of player who does not have room to get bogged down. In the scenarios being talked about with all too much seriousness -- or I should say grim determination -- when he receives a poisonous snakebite or is eaten alive, so are we.
My hope is that people will wake up before it's too late. The extremely high level of competition that we are currently facing (in order to get him) will largely determine the price for his services. If the price is too high, then we must say, “Pass!” Who knows, if we show an ability to resist temptation now, we might just be able to address the team's most vital problem -- a problem that very few people in Blazer land seem to want to address with any kind of real vigor. Do you know what the problem is?
The lack in the medical industry of a serious artificial kneecap replacement system?
