    2012 Pipedream

    In akirac73's defense, Malone's rookie numbers weren't close to Blake's. But you're right, Scorp; uninjured and sustained excellence over an entire two decade career will be tough.

    It'd have to be Blake + someone else to make that work. I'd do Jefferson (expiring) and DWill for Blake and Gordon

    Karma

    Funny how he spoke of bad karma then got his butt handed to him by the Clips the next night.

    Should Teacher Tenure Be Abolished?

    To clarify here: are we talking about teachers (high school and below) or college profs? Difference being that college profs can have a sweet paycheck. As a whole, tenure has got to be one of the nicest forms of job security that exists in this country. Here's a great article on tackling...

    2012 Pipedream

    I'd rather wait to line up with every team in the league and sign-and-trade for Blake Griffin. He'll command the max just like Howard and all 30 teams will be gunning after him just like Howard. But unlike Howard he has a polished offensive skill set and can operate quite well outside of 10...

    Jazz vs. Knickerbockers 1/12/10 @ 7:00 p.m. MST

    Great game offensively, but the lax defense on the perimeter is a non-trivial concern. I liked the defense on Amare. Even though he still got 22 points, recognize that half of that was on free throws. He shot only 5-11 from the field, which is an indicator that we were vigilant on both...

    Memorizing Help

    Another tip is to NOT sit down and expect to memorize the whole 14 paragraphs in one massive 6-hour cramming session. Work for a half hour, take a 5 or 6 minute break. Work again, take a break. Reward yourself with 10 minutes/hour and stop totally after 3 hours. Take a 2 hour break then...

    Memorizing Help

    After telling her that this is a ridiculous assignment, maybe try memorizing the first word of each of the 14 paragraphs. In order. Then, move on to memorizing the first sentence of each paragraph. Again, in order. Then your brain will fill in 80% of the rest of the paragraph on its own...

    Memorizing Help

    Archie, how many pages do you need to memorize? And in what time frame?

    Memorizing Help

    Read/write whatever it is you need to memorize while eating a mint/chewing gum. During the test, when you are regurgitating the material, do it with that exact same flavor of mint/gum. Your mind associates memory with olfactory and taste sensations. Another thing to do is to memorize the...

    ESPN reporting Denver wants Blake Griffin.

    I doubt even Donald Sterling is moronic enough to trade Blake to the Nugs for anything they currently have. Including Carmelo. In other news, I am reporting that I want a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

    Are we going to be an "elite team" by Philbert Jackson's definition?

    For as pompous and ego-driven as he is, Phil has a point with the 40 before 20 dictum. Will that apply to the Jazz. Love to see it, but it won't happen. We need to get our stuff together long before we can sniff that kind of a run. And by "get our stuff together," I really mean "maybe make...

    Andrei Kirilenko is now a US citizen

    Hey whatever form she takes, Catherine Zeta Jones has moolah. I'm down.

    I'll be at the Jazz Wizards game on 1.17.2011

    For a sign, how about something like: Jazzfanz.com: where bad trade ideas crop up 24/7 and people argue about gay rights a lot.
