im considering moving to portland and renting what neighborhoods should i avoid?
Nearly all areas of Portland are safe, especially during the day. The city is filled with many unique neighborhoods, with most of the nicer areas closer to downtown. Northeast Portland is perhaps the least desirable section of the city and many locals avoid crossing above 82nd Street during nightfall. Southwest and Northwest Portland are known for their charm and beauty, but these areas do tend to be on the pricier side. Eastmoreland is also a nice neighborhood, as well as the casual and artsy Inner Southeast vicinity.
What kinds of outdoor activities do people enjoy in Portland?
Not only does Portland have many parks and outdoor recreational areas within city limits, but it also is not very far from such places as the Columbia River, the southern chain of the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, all of which are prime locations to enjoy the outdoors. There are at least 4 National Parks within 50 miles, including the Deschutes and Snoqualmie National Forests. Portland residents enjoy golfing, mountain biking, skiing, ice climbing, hiking, fishing and wind surfing at different times of the year. Many people move to Portland because of the plentiful outdoor activities and easy access to the wilderness.

"Do not waste your money"
I am not sure who might enjoy this book?
This book is a waste of money.
I really enjoyed the fact that this was read by the author.
The characters, particularly Yunior, had such an authentic voice. He is flawed and relatable.
The scene where Elvis finds out that the son he thought was his, was not.
Mr. Diaz creates fascinating characters with strong voices. He is particularly adept at capturing heart wrenching emotions behind the heavy masks of his multidimensional characters.
"Awful reader!"
a different reader!
my book club read the book, I listened to it. I believe they enjoyed the book more than I did because they were not distracted by the reader.
"This is How You Enter as a Villan & Leave a Hero"
Yes, the author tells heartfelt and penitent tales of love and loss, and honestly depicts his role in each story.
The ending paragraph had me in tears.
A tone of integrity.
Having absolutely no knowledge of Spanish, had I known that a considerable amount of the book is sporadically in Spanish, I might not have purchased it. But I hope this doesn't keep people from listening, because the context in which the Spanish is inserted is written in a way that one can get the gist of what they are saying, and doesn't interfere with the story.
Listening to books makes my mundane tasks so much more palatable.
"Cheating with a fresh voice"
Junot Diaz's writing is extremely fresh, new, and immensely entertaining. Yunior, the recurring narrator throughout most of these stories, is a character unlike any other I've come across. The writing here, especially the Dominican street talk, is vivid.
While I liked the book overall, I gave the story itself only three stars. For me, the stories, detailing Yunior's romantic relationships, and the inevitable breakups, got a little repetitive. I really liked the stories about Yunior's childhood, the coldness of his father, the mother's obliviousness, and the stories of Rafa's (Yunior's brother) sad end. Yunior's chronic infidelities are interesting at first, but I eventually just got tired of hearing about them in almost every story. In one of the last stories, Yunior claims to have cheated on one long-time girlfriend over 50 times. At that point, the reader has read so much about cheating that it elicits only a shrug.
The writing is so good here. I just wish other characters would have had more voice, and that relationship issues other than infidelity would have figured into the stories.
"Fantastic Stories - Loved Diaz's Performance"
I loved The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao and was looking forward to hearing this collection of related stories. I was so happy with the results. The collection is beautifully written and a bitter sweet description of his character's loves (or rather failures of love) and lives. The real treat was Diaz's performance of his stories. His narration provided the amazing experience of hearing the author words as he meant them.
I'm also a Central New Jersey guy and know almost all of the places where the stories took place. That also made it great.
I cannot recommend this collection of stories more.
"Absolutely mesmerizing...."
This story is so well told that I travelled to the Dominican Republic;s history and felt what living there and then being an immigrant in the streets of New Jersey.... It was compelling, exciting, well written and a page turner... Thank you Junot!!
A culture I knew nothing of became real and alive for me
"Don't lose this audiobook!"
Definitely, there is very much to love and like in this wonderful audiobook from critically acclaimed author Junot Díaz who features also as the narrator giving the short stories of this book a unique perspective and a (very) personal touch. Add in the short bachata musical introductions (featuring Romeo Santos) to each of the chapters and you got yourself a masterpiece.
The book relies quite heavily in the use of Latino expressions, culture and symbols. Therefore, and audience not familiarized or interested in Latin American culture may not enjoy it as much as those who do. Moreover, some knowledge of the Spanish language, although not mandatory, is highly recommended for anyone interested in this audiobook.
The main argument of the (semi-autobiographical) of each tale is easy to follow and captivating (who hasn't lost a soul mate once in a lifetime? Who hasn't wrecked what otherwise seemed to be a promising relationship?). I found each of the stories to be interesting and some of them were very exciting.
Way to go Junot, I will definitely keep an eye out for your next book.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies…The man who never reads lives only one." (George R. R. Martin)
"Terrific Collection of Short Stories"
I wasn't sure what to expect with Junot Diaz's follow up to "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" which is one of my favorite audiobooks and one of my favorite novels. I also wasn't too keen on Junot Diaz's narration at first, mostly because Jonathan Davis's narration of Oscar Wao was so good but I quickly grew to like it. To me, "This Is How You Lose Her" exists somewhere between Oscar Wao and "Drown." I felt that the short stories were less minimalistic than in "Drown" but they took place in the same universe as some characters featured in both books make appearances – mostly the character Yunior. I guarded myself before listening to this collection because I thought an audiobook of short stories couldn't live up to the grandeur of Oscar Wao but fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. The stories here are great.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Luke Powell has been waiting two seasons
to make a phenomenal punt return, and the Stanford football team
has been desperate for weeks to get a monumental victory.
Powell sparked the Cardinal's 21-14 upset over UCLA on Saturday
with a 90-yard punt return for a touchdown, and Chris Lewis passed
for a score and ran for another to send the Bruins to their first
conference loss and the Cardinal to their first Pac-10 win.
This was a huge confidence boost for Stanford, humiliated last
week at Oregon 35-0, and the biggest victory yet in coach Buddy
Teevens' two-year tenure.
"They're all big wins, but this certainly comes at a nice
time," Teevens said. "Our guys, they don't blink, they don't
flinch. There's a resilience and resolve."
Stanford (3-4, 1-4 Pac-10) did it by playing the complete game
it had been desperately looking for -- with strong performances on
offense, defense and special teams. Lewis, a fifth-year senior,
played with poise as a fill-in for injured freshman quarterback
Trent Edwards.
Lewis went 12-of-20 for 91 yards with an interception.
Powell snapped a 7-all tie with his impressive return 2:28
before halftime. Powell was a first-team All-America kick returner
as a sophomore two years ago when he ranked second in the nation in
punt returns, but was hurt most of last season and had been
ineffective so far this year.
"It was a huge momentum swing and they really didn't recover
from it," Powell said. "I made one guy miss and all I saw was the
punter. I was just telling myself, 'Do not get caught by the
punter.' I wouldn't have heard the end of that."
This week, Teevens predicted that a breakthrough win was coming
soon for the Cardinal, saying his players have remained confident
despite the frustrating results. But this didn't seem like the week
Stanford would do it, considering UCLA's latest defensive success.
But the Bruins defense that has been spectacular lately was
upstaged by Stanford's defense and several big plays by the
Cardinal, who had their second-best scoring output of the season
and huddled at midfield after the win.
UCLA coach Karl Dorrell stood outside his team's locker room
after the game with his hands on his hips and a scowl on his face.
"We got a loss in conference, at least that's over with,"
Dorrell said. "Hopefully we can rebound from this. They played a
smart game plan. They took care of the football and put us in
disadvantageous positions. They didn't make many mistakes with the
football and we made more mistakes."
Stanford's effective blitzing scheme kept constant pressure on
quarterback Matt Moore, who sat on the grass on both knees in
frustration for several seconds after one long pass sailed well
beyond his intended receiver. UCLA (6-3, 4-1) went to backup Drew
Olson midway through the fourth quarter.
Olson led a scoring drive capped by Maurice Drew's second
rushing TD of the game, a 2-yard run with 5:28 left, but the
comeback effort fell short.
The Cardinal had eight sacks, three shy of the 11 they had all
season coming into the game.
When Stanford punted late in the third, the ball hit off a UCLA
player's leg and the Cardinal's Marcus McCutcheon -- the son of
former Los Angeles Rams running back Lawrence McCutcheon --
recovered on the UCLA 8, giving Stanford great field position that
led to Lewis' 1-yard scoring run with 1 second left in the quarter.
That was one of several costly plays for UCLA, which would have
maintained first place in the Pac-10 with a win and also likely
earned a top-25 ranking.
Stanford had allowed 51 points in the first quarter in its
previous six games, but the Bruins didn't score until Drew's 9-yard
TD run 57 seconds into the second quarter for a 7-0 lead.
That's when Stanford's vapid offense began to show signs of life
for the first time in two games. Stanford had only 206 yards of
offense but held UCLA to 287 -- 48 rushing.
After failing on seven plays from the 2-yard line last week,
Teevens got creative and went away from his conservative play
calling in the red zone to give his team a better chance.
On third down, Lewis had three players lined up behind him to
form an "I" -- a tight end and two running backs. Lewis then found
Matt Traverso wide open in the end zone for a 2-yard TD reception
that tied the game at 7 with 9:06 left in the second quarter.
Powell's big run was the second-longest punt return for a
touchdown in school history. Thomas Henley returned one 92 yards
against Oregon in 1986.

"I've been very lucky that they wanted me to be involved," Dashner said. "They gave me the script and I gave feedback. The director, Wes Ball, he'd call or email me a lot with little questions. They brought me out to the set. It's just been really fun to have a small part in it."
Hale was also thoroughly involved in the production of "Austenland," co-writing the screenplay with Hess, visiting the set and, like Dashner, doing a cameo.
"Sometimes it was exactly what I imagined, sometimes nothing like what I imagined, but always wonderful," Hale said.
While having a novel made into a film is an accomplishment for any author, it can also be rife with its own complications — often in how to adapt the written word into the visual medium of a film.
"I've always been a little nervous about it. I knew I'd be devastated if the movie wasn't very good," Dashner said. "But luckily, most of it goes back to the director Wes Ball. He has just really captured the vision of the book. They're staying very true to it. All the characters are there, all the major events are there. The basic plot and premise is all there. So I've just been thrilled. I've seen a little bit of footage that has made me feel very confident that the final movie is going to be awesome."
Dashner said that anytime a book is turned into a movie there have to be some changes made, but those changes should reflect the spirit and vision of the book.
"You take a book, and you take the spirit of the book, and you turn it into a cinematic experience," Dashner said.
Co-writing the screenplay, Hale helped to create many of the changes to "Austenland." Like Dashner, Hale said she knew changes had to be made. According to Hale, most of the changes came about organically as the screenplay was written and rewritten.
"The changes were the most fun," she said. "I don't feel frustrated by things that didn't come out as I imagined. I can enjoy the film for what it is. The book still exists on its own, so for me nothing is lost."
While Dashner is still waiting to see the final product, Hale experienced her film's premiere early this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Hale said sitting in a theater with hundreds of people watching the film for the first time was "pure magic."
"I've had a wonderful writing career, but reading is such an intimate entertainment. I don't get to be there to experience others first reading my story," she said. "At the Sundance premiere, I was there, 1,500 people in the theater were laughing, and I just sat there crying. The response couldn't have been more gratifying."

ATLANTA (AP) -- Mark Gottfried should have yanked Earnest Shelton
out of the game.
Now, the Alabama coach has to share a spot with Shelton in the
school record book.
The senior guard made a career-high eight 3-pointers during a
26-point performance Friday that pushed the Crimson Tide (No. 19 ESPN/USA Today, No. 20 AP) to
a 69-52 victory over Mississippi and into the semifinals of the
Southeastern Conference tournament.
Shelton tied the tournament record for 3-pointers, joining three
other players, and matched the school's co-record holders --
Gottfried and Alvin Lee. Gottfried now coaches the Crimson Tide
"I should have taken him out," Gottfried quipped.
The Crimson Tide buried Ole Miss from beyond the arc, thwarting
every comeback attempt with a long-range shot. Alabama was 13-of-25
on 3-pointers.
No one was more accurate than Shelton, whose 8-of-11 performance
eclipsed the seven 3s he had against Florida in last year's SEC
"He kind of got in that zone," Gottfried said. "He looked at
me a couple of times and wanted me to call the same plays for him.
He wanted the ball."
Alabama, which already seems assured of an NCAA bid, will meet
Florida on Saturday. This is only the second time in a decade that
the Crimson Tide has gotten as far as the semifinals of the
conference tourney.
Three years ago, Alabama lost to Mississippi State in the
championship game.
Ole Miss (14-17), which upset South Carolina in the opening
round, stayed within range of Alabama most of the game. Tommie
Eddie hit a jumper with 8:45 remaining to pull the Rebels to 48-43,
but Ronald Steele answered with a 3 for the Tide.
When Ed Glass sank a couple of free throws to shrink Alabama's
lead to 51-45, Shelton responded by swishing another shot from
outside the arc. He finished off the Rebels with his seventh trey,
giving the Tide a 61-47 cushion with three minutes to go, and made
his last one with 31 seconds to go.
"I put up a couple of them that when they left my hand, I knew
they were going in," Shelton said.
Alabama's victory was no surprise. The Crimson Tide swept the
regular-season series between the Western Division rivals, winning
66-58 on the road and routing the Rebels in Tuscaloosa, 71-45.
Ole Miss had no chance the way Shelton was shooting.
"He just made shots," said Rebels coach Rod Barnes, who got a
four-year contract extension just before the tournament. "He made
shots over us. He had a great day. That's what you expect from
great players."
Shelton got in a rhythm right from the start, hitting four
3-pointers in the first half.
"He had some open looks early," Barnes said. "Sometimes, he
just propelled over the top of us and made shots. There's not much
you can do about that."
The teams swapped the lead seven times in the first half before
Alabama gained the upper hand in the final three minutes.
Naturally, it was Shelton doing the damage with a 3-pointer,
putting the Tide ahead 25-21.
"He just had a great game," Mississippi's Kendrick Fox said.
"He was making us pay. Everything he threw up went in."
Shelton then came up with a steal, leading to a layup for Justin
Jonus. Kennedy Winston sent Alabama off the court with a 27-21
halftime lead by drawing a charge from Eddie with 0.9 seconds
Eddie led the Rebels with 19 points and Glass added 14, but none
of their teammates had more than six.
Alabama bounced back from a poor-shooting first half to hit 57
percent (13-of-23) over the final 20 minutes. Chuck Davis had 15
points and Jean Felix 10, while Steele doled out seven assists.
"We won the game when we didn't play very well," Gottfried
said, "and that's the sign of a good team."

There are scenes in the Bible that cause a visceral reaction for even the most disinterested reader. As we view the Garden of Gethsemane in our mind's eye, we see one of Jesus' closest companions, Judas Iscariot, leading a band of men. He smiles broadly, "Rabbi!," greeting Jesus with a kiss. The kiss, that universal sign of intimacy and affection, lands on Jesus like a knife twisting in the back.

Product description
In Silicon Valley legend Nolan Bushnell's first book, he explains how to find and hire employees who have the potential to be the next Steve Jobs. Nolan Bushnell founded the groundbreaking gaming company Atari in 1972, and two years later employed Steve Jobs, as well as many other creatives over the course of his five decades in business. Here Bushnell explains how to find, hire, and nurture the people who could turn your company into the next Atari or the next Apple. Bushnell's advice is constantly counter-intuitive, surprising, and atypical. When looking for employees, ignore credentials. Hire the obnoxious (in limited numbers). Demand a list of favorite books. Ask unanswerable questions. Comb through tweets. Just because you've hired creatives doesn't mean you'll keep them. Once you have them, isolate them. Celebrate their failures. Encourage ADHD. Ply them with toys. Encourage them to make decisions by throwing dice. Invent haphazard holidays. Let them sleep. The business world is changing faster than ever, and every day your company faces new complications and difficulties. The only way to resolve these issues is to have a staff of wildly creative people who live as much in the future as the present, who thrive on being different, and whose ideas will guarantee that your company will prosper when other companies fail. Bio: About the Authors Nolan Bushnell is the founder of video game company Atari, Chuck E. Cheese-the first restaurant to integrate gaming into its entertainment model-as well as twenty-five other companies. Bushnell has been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame and the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame, received the BAFTA Fellowship, and was named one of Newsweek's "50 Men Who Changed America." He's a frequent subject of media coverage and was prominently featured in Walter Isaacson's best selling book, Steve Jobs. Gene Stone, a former book, magazine, and newspaper editor for such companies as the Los Angeles Times, Esquire, Harcourt Brace, and Simon & Schuster, has ghostwritten thirty books (many of which were New York Times bestsellers) for a wide range of people in many different fields. Stone has also written numerous titles under his own name, including The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick, which has been translated into more than twenty languages; the New York Times bestseller Forks Over Knives; and The Watch, the definitive book on the wristwatch. Editorial Reviews: "The man who helped give a generation the game of Pong now gives a new generation a series of pongs for their careers. Nolan Bushnell's book is a spirited and insightful road map for anyone trying to navigate the new world of work." -- Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive "Nolan is a genius, and a generous one, too. Like most geniuses who share their secrets, his secrets are simple, and available to anyone with the guts to listen." -- Seth Godin, Author, The Icarus Deception

We went to Cabela's before purchasing the stuffer for our KitchenAid. We determined that to get a sausage/grinder/stuffer that would be better than the KitchenAid version we would have to buy the absolute top of the line commercial model for around $700. The lower end model's capacity is not that much bigger than the KitchenAid. If you already have the KitchenAid, might as well buy the grinder and sausage stuffer attachment because it works fine. We ground 15 pounds of venison with another 7 pounds of boston butt pork roast, mixed them together and then stuffed into summer sausage casings. Used Cabelas summer sausage making kit...smoked it in our grill...and it tastes better than Hickory Farms ;)
This is a replacement sausage stuffer attachment. I accidentally threw out the small part that allows the unit to set correctly on the grinder assembly. Also, do not over tighten, I cracked my first large sausage attachment. Other than that, it is easy to use and I have been able to make sausages that pleases all family and friends that taste them.
When I recieved the attachment I was a little leary, but, after collecting the casings,which my local butcher supplies at a very reasonal price, I attempted to proceed.I found that it is so easy ,I will be making more on a regular basis. Thank You
4 out of 5 stars, based on 70 ratings
92% of reviewers recommend this product
88% say this is a "good value"
Very pleased with the price. This unit fits my Oster meat grinder. Can't wait to use it.
After stuffing sausage by hand - this tool is awesome- faster and neater! Easy to attach to Kitchen Aid Mixer/Grinder Attachment--Easy to clean--and most importantly it does the job
This is the first time I attempted making sausage. What did I ever do without this? And so easy to use!
Works great, but I'd feel more confident in it's longevity if it were not plastic.
I purchased this to go with my grinder attachment and was surprised that is was of the same quality as the ones sold at the major retail story for about half the price. I expected more for the money.

Recognized as the longest-running comedy thriller on Broadway, Deathtrap is a play within a play. Aaron Mark, who brilliantly directed The Mystery of Irma Vep last year, directs Ira Levin's treasured Tony Award-nominated play. This witty thriller tells the tale of defeated playwright, Sidney Bruhl, who would do almost anything to write a hit Broadway play. Former student, Clifford Anderson, tells Sidney that he's written a suspense play with a seamless plot that's sure to be Broadway-bound. When Sidney lures Clifford into his colonial style home, adorned with eclectic antique weaponry, both men's motives become unclear. Exhilarateing thrills transpire as zany characters weave a web of mystery in two acts.
"Deathtrap ran for four years on Broadway after opening in 1978, and it's remained ubiquitous in theaters around the world," says Aaron Mark. "It's the play theatregoers think we know but shocks us every time. What struck me reading it again recently, though, is how eerily relevant it is prophetic, even—in our increasingly "success"—obsessed culture. Ira Levin (Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives) not only created the mother of all contemporary meta-thrillers when he created Deathtrap, he created a potent cautionary tale about greed. As one with "thrilleritis" (Levin's term, not mine), myself, I couldn't be more thrilled that The Fitzpatrick Main Stage is the frighteningly perfect setting for this ingenious puzzle of a 'who'll-do-it.'"

It is a rare Monday matinee for the Philadelphia Flyers on this holiday weekend. For the Flyers, fresh off a 6-4 win on Saturday night, the opponent is familiar. The New York Islanders await again, this time on their home ice at Nassau Coliseum.
The Flyers picked up their 25th win of the season on Saturday, which for Jan. 18 is impressive considering a 1-7-0 start to the season. What is not impressive is the way the Flyers have had to battle back in games. Despite their ninth comeback win of the season, Craig Berube was not happy with the team's performance.

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
"Defense wins you championships!" James Naismith, 1898.
Ok, James Naismith did not actually say that when he invented [stole the idea for] the sport of basketball.
The only reason I suggest Naismith said this is because it seems as though this cliché has been around since the dawn of the game that Lambert Will actually created.
But does that fact make this cliché true?
If you asked Mike O'Antoni [because there really shouldn't be a "D" in his name], that is hogwash. The Lakers next casualty, along with a bevy of new wave "AAU" style coaches would have you believe the opposite. Their claim would be that the object of the game is to outscore your opponent.
Thus the cliché, "the best defense is a good offense!"
We either are at a crossroads with what to believe, or simply that you can find a cliché for anything, especially in sports.
So which is it? Does defense win championships as Charles Barkley suggests, or does outscoring your opponent get the job done, as Paul Westhead would have you believe?
What about both? Some would suggest that the simplification of combining both ideologies is obvious. Well, you know what William of Ockham said after he shaved…
The fact is, you can make good arguments for both philosophies, and you might even be able to prove them and disprove the other. That's the problem; both arguments can be proven and dis-proven to a degree. That is why they call it philosophy, and why a lot of people drop that class due to the migraines from over-thinking.
So in regards to basketball, which is correct, because nobody likes being wrong and everyone likes being right? Any answer that lies in the middle is just not acceptable.
Let's oversimplify then, shall we?
If you could score 1 point, and keep the other team from scoring, you win! What does that mean? It means you need to, at the very least, score a point, so you need to be able to score. Yeah Offense!
But wait a second! Don't you also need to ensure that the other team does not score more than you, requiring you to stop the other team? That would be defense. Yeah Defense!
Some argue that it isn't about winning or losing, but about being fun to watch. Certainly an offensive onslaught is a lot of fun, especially compared to a grind it out defensive juggernaut. Yeah Offense!
Yet others would say, who chants "Offense! Offense! Offense!"? Nobody, that is who. Yeah Defense!
Does the truth lie somewhere in between?
I have coached somewhere around 28 teams [not really sure of the exact number, have to count] and have had offensive oriented teams, defensive oriented teams, teams that could do both well [i like those teams] and teams that couldn't do either [ugh!].
Looking back at my experience from those seasons helps me develop my thoughts on the philosophy of offense versus defense. Certainly teams that could play on both ends of the floor were very successful teams, while those that were not particularly skilled on either end struggled mightily. Taking those situations out of the equation, what can we learn from the teams that leaned one way or the other?
My teams that played well on offense, but not so on D, could at times blow opponents out in spectacular fashion. When we were rolling on the offensive end, it would seem we were unbeatable. Shots were falling and forced teams into scrambling around trying to focus on stopping us, which would prove the adage that our offense was our best defense. Making a high percentage of shots allowed us to avoid getting beat in transition, put the opponent on their heels, and frankly demoralized them which also played into their lack of confidence on the other end of the floor. YEAH OFFENSE!
Unfortunately, at times those teams would also get blown out of the gym themselves. When our shots weren't falling, we would start to force the action, resulting in easy transition opportunities by our opponents. We were on our heels trying to get back to stop the other team from getting easy looks. Our heads were down and we were demoralized. There were games against inferior teams we shouldn't have lost, and then games against superior teams we probably shouldn't have won. You never knew which team would show up, and were inconsistent in terms of wins/losses and frankly effort. They were also frustrating teams.
I have also had teams that were not offensively proficient, yet were defensively skilled. While looking at it from a pure wins/losses perspective, I am not sure the record of the defensive team was that much different than the offensive team [although I think on the whole, my defensive teams did win slightly more games]. Yet from a competitive standpoint, one thing was very clear; my defensive oriented teams competed much better than my offensive oriented teams, and it was not even close. Sure, we would lose games, but I don't think we were ever blown out. In fact, in many of the games we lost, we had chances to win, but couldn't pull it out [ironically enough due to our lack of ability to score].
From game to game, it was much easier to predict outcomes based on the level of our opponent. Unlike the offensive oriented teams, our ability to defend was consistent. There weren't games where we were not effective on that end of the floor, and that allowed us to stay close with superior teams. Our inability to play well offensively would certainly be the blame for the losses, yet we competed on a much higher, more consistent level. While there were frustrations, these teams were much more enjoyable to coach because they players put in great effort and you can't get too down when your players do that.
The conclusions I draw from these experiences have shaped my philosophy. If you have a team that is good enough to compete for a championship, it is impossible to do so without proficiency on both ends of the floor. Sure, a very skilled offensive, but mediocre defensive team may compile a very daunting record [or vise versa]. However, my experiences with those teams showed that at the point where you are in playoff competition, teams have weeded the weaker element out of the tournament and your team will face only very good basketball teams from that point on. If you are deficient on one end of the floor, regardless of the fact you might have handily beaten almost every opponent that regular season, the top two or three teams in the league will challenge you because they are probably equal to you or better on one end of the floor or the other.
So, all of that and you say "Both!" Jason?
Well, yes!
But I will say this… Defense may not necessarily win you a championship, but it will absolutely allow you to compete. Offense may make your games fun and exciting, and you might even blow some people out.
CLICHÉ WARNING: William Osler said, "What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?" I think the mistress he was talking about is offense.
There are many things that can affect your ability to score. You can be having a good or bad night. Your confidence can be diminished. The defense might match up well against what you do. Any number of things can cause your offensive game to tank from one game to the next.
Defense is constant. It is a mentality of competing. Sure, you might physically be tired or injured, but from a mental standpoint, defense relies less on confidence and feel, and more on aggression and effort. Those two things allow teams to compete at a high level.
When it comes to a team that is bad at both, it is much more appropriate to focus on the defensive end of the floor, because watching a team consistently compete hard every game is better than watching a team that looks good one night and is embarrassing the next, when record-wise there is not much difference in wins and losses.
For a better part of the last decade, Suns fans have endured this debate. Charles Barkley was proven correct, as he noted so boisterously on last night's TNT telecast, about the fact that an all offense, little defense philosophy is fun but gets you nowhere. While nobody brought up the fact that all defense and little offense is no fun and gets you nowhere, it does illustrate exactly why the Suns front office deems it important to inject defense into their culture.
But doing so takes more than saying so. It will be interesting to see the ongoing changes that will be made to begin the transition into a more defensive mindset. Part of that means forgoing players that can score in favor of player that defend. It remains to be seen whether that philosophy will actually translate onto the court and into rotations. Certainly guys like Beasley, Brown, Johnson, Morris and Marshal, all not known to be even adequate defenders, would likely see less floor time than guys like Dudley, Dragic, Tucker, Scola and O'Neal, who all have shown a tendency to put more effort to that end of the floor. Alvin Genrty finally figured that out by going to a lineup of Dragic, Dudley, Tucker, Scola and Gortat. We shall see whether that lineup dominates and holds it's rightful spot under the Hunter regime and whether they are going to be true to their word about defense, or if it is all just words.
For all the hoopla about the melodrama in the Valley the Phoenix Suns took care of business on the court winning back-to-back games in Lindsey Hunter's debut week of coaching in the NBA.
The Phoenix Suns (14-28) finally got some good news to mix in with all of the negative backlash this week both local and national. They took their show on the road knocking off the Sacramento Kings 106-96 for only their 4th road win on the season and now they come right back just 24 hours later to host the Pacific Division leading Los Angeles Clippers (32-11).
In the long arguous marathon that is an NBA season every team has their fair share of back-to-back situations.
This is one of those situations after being on the road last night. On the season the team has played in eight total back-to-back games going 1-7 overall on the back end. If I looked at every team in the league I am sure there are very few that win the second game on a back-to-back especially with travel involved. The only win was at Chicago to end their last road trip.
Granted this is a new coaching staff with an energized team that may come together in the aftermath of all of the moves and drama that was this past week, a back-to-back doesn't get any easier.
To a finer point this is another game against a divisional opponent. Through the first six games (2-4) the Suns fared well against the Kings (2-0), but have dropped every game to the other three who have winning records. Looking at the schedule -- including tonight -- there are 10 more games against their divisional foes. An opportunity to salvage some pride from one of the worst seasons in franchise history.
The last time the Suns finished under .500 in the Pacific Division was the 2003-2004 season. At this point they would need to go 6-4 or better to avoid that dubious distinction this season.
(Recent) History Lesson
This season the teams have locked up twice. Once in Los Angeles (99-117 loss) and once in Phoenix (77-103 loss), both with very similar results.
In each game Griffin and Crawford scored over 20 points while Paul directed the offense with a double-double. Those three combined with great defense, causing turnovers, and running up-and-down the floor were the Suns demise.
Head-to-Head (past four seasons)
Suns: 103.57 PPG (10 wins)
Clippers: 100.28 PPG (4 wins)
Head-to-Head (career)
Blake Griffin vs. Suns: 21.7 PPG 10.0 RPG 52.1 FG% (10 games)
Jamal Crawford vs. Suns: 16.6 PPG 4.2 APG 43.4 FG% 31.7 3PT% (25 games)
Michael Beasley vs. LAC: 20.2 PPG 5.2 RPG 53.8 FG% 51.6 3PT% (11 games)
One thing about Michael Beasley is that he has always played well against the Clippers, including this year when he came out like a house on fire torching the Clippers in the first half of the first meeting. He tapered off in the second and the Suns lost, but he has the ability to put up points against this club.
Starting Line-Ups
PG - Goran Dragic v. Eric Bledsoe
SG - Jared Dudley v. Willie Green
SF - P.J. Tucker v. Caron Butler
PF - Luis Scola v. Blake Griffin
C - Marcin Gortat v. DeAndre Jordan
Potential Suns Inactives: Jermaine O'Neal (Undisclosed Injury/Illness)
Potential Clippers Inactives: Chris Paul (Right Knee), Chauncey Billups (Left Foot), and Trey Thompkins (Left Knee)
Key Match-Up
This season Blake Griffin has become a much better all-around offensive threat and it has showed in the two games this season as he scored 23.5 PPG on 62.1% shooting from the field. He is not going against the best defensive front court in the league, but in Luis Scola he faces a frustrating opponent.
Scola is an aggitator that can get under his opponents skin. Just ask DeMarcus Cousins, Carlos Boozer, and, well Blake Griffin.
In order for the Suns to have a competitive edge in this game Scola has to use his fouls wisely, not allow Griffin to score as easy as he has, and put him on the free-throw line where he is shooting 60.3% (59.9% on the road) career. This season he has improved to 65.4% (63.8% on the road) career, which is a improvement, but still very low for a contact player like Griffin.
I wanted to go with Luke Zeller and Ryan Hollins just to get them in the preview, but this did the trick just the same.
Interesting Stat: 17 and 12
The Clippers speed up every team and get them out of their comfort zone, that is why they are so good this season. With the Suns in particular they force an average of 17 turnovers per game and rack up 12 steals along the way. Both are above the season average for the Clippers so those perimeter defenders lick their chops when the Suns come up on the schedule.
Meaningless Stat: .500
For his career as a head coach Vinny del Negro has been .500 (7-7) dating back to his time as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls. There is that.
To criticize Jermaine O'Neal for his age, ceiling or his ability to carry a team anymore is fair when assessing the off-season move the Phoenix Suns made this past summer to bring him here. That is in bounds.
O'Neal is north just north of 34 and his better days are behind him, as it is for most players that have dedicated 17 years to the sport. What he lacks in on court impact he makes up for with a veteran presence for a team that is void of those types of leaders with pedigree and experience after the departures of Steve Nash and Grant Hill. That is the role O'Neal signed up for with this team, to help bring along young players like Markieff Morris and Marcin Gortat, to add a certain level of toughness to them on the court.
In the midst of the melodrama this past week arduous disgruntled "shock jock" radio hosts took to the air to vent their frustration towards the team in part by attacking the off-season acquisition of O'Neal and his character.
"To me that is crazy," O'Neal told me as this was the first time he was hearing about the comments. "Everything about this week is assumptions. Until you know exactly what it is, how can you speak about it?"
This week he has had to go to great lengths to defend, not only the paint, but himself, his illness (covered here by Dave King) and now his character.
Let's talk about the culture, because you want to change the culture, but it was these guys that are in charge right now that brought in Jermaine O'Neal who was a part of the worst culture team in the history of the NBA and brought in Michael Beasley. It was your general manager who wants to change the culture of the team, but on one hand he is bringing in guys that aren't Steve Nash and Grant Hill. Guys who have questionable character. -- John Gambadoro 620 KTAR Radio Host
Those were pointed words that are not hard to misinterpret. As the conversation continued, he put a finer point on his opinion of the former Indiana Pacers All-Star: "Jermaine O'Neal was the leader of the worst culture of any NBA team in the history of the NBA."
Throughout his career O'Neal is accustomed to defending the paint and his teammates, but other than one instance where unique blend of people and circumstance allowed fans and Pacers players to initiate in a brawl now known as the "Malice in the Palace" he is being referenced to as a bad character guy.
In that situation it was the imperfect storm where Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest and Jamaal Tinsley who all have had off the court issues that were in some manner tracked with mug shots, suspensions, arrests, fines, etc. Should simply being the best player on that team be the smoking gun to his character?
"Character? We had issues just like every other team," emphatically stated O'Neal. "One person isn't responsible for everybody. We are grown men, our responsibility is to come in and be as professional as we can possibly be, do our job, go home and lead our community. That is our job."
During his career O'Neal won the Kia NBA Community Assist Award four times for his work in the community.
One thing I say about people is that they speak from their seats in their houses. You take Peyton Manning, who, his team had all sorts of problems with domestic violence, with DUI's, and do you say the same thing about him? (Long Pause) So why would you say it about me? Same people that said that, ask them how many times I won the community assist award? Pumped millions of dollars of my money into the community, ask them about that. It is easy to sit down on your couch or where ever you are at and determine who this person is when you never even met him before. -- Jermaine O'Neal
Speculation, sources and sensationalism are elements of that are unavoidable in this day and age, they are only going to get worse. They are perpetuated by emotion. That can make or break a person depending on the situation and with thousands to millions of listeners those comments carry weight for a player that most fans do not know much about.
Sources come forth to give information, but a lot of time they are unreliable.
"Listen, here is how I feel about sources," stated an agitated, but smiling O'Neal. "Nine times out of 10 the sources are wrong. If you are a source why can't you say who you are?"
They cannot say who they are because usually they are within an organization and if the team knew they were pumping out info to the media they would be done, but I get the general sentiment. In regards to his time in Boston, where it was said the team was "excited for him to leave" and "only got better after he left" there was more to that than meets the eye.
"Boston was a situation where I tore my wrist taking a charge, at the time leading the league in taking charges. I gave up my body every single night and tore my wrist. Tell them to talk to Danny Ainge, get the real, if these sources are saying something tell them to call the people that really matter. Danny Ainge is one of my favorite people in the world and I guarantee he won't say anything different. No issues. I have never had an issue with the team. I came in, did my job, and went home."
In the end O'Neal understands the sensationalism, after all he is a 17-year veteran who has been in this circus for years. This week has been a new kind of circus adding more rings to the three with all the drama and "sources" reporting what he has called "flat-out lies."
"People call in and live off of these radio shows and that is there chance to get their five minutes of fame and say what they want to say, but at the end of the day I live what I say. My history states that. Before they say anything negative about me, look at my history. All the people that are talking from the couch, that is OK. It doesn't bother me, but if they ever want to know the truth, just ask me or tell the source to ask the real people that run the show."
There is no question that the "Malice in the Palace" will always haunt him, but one moment where he was not the antagonist should not define Jermaine O'Neal the person or even the basketball player. He is not that 27-year-old in a defensive stance as fans rushed the court in pandemonium. He is a seasoned vet of 17 years on the court and 34 years of life off the court. He knows that it is about more than basketball for him now.
"More than anything, it ain't about sports. I am a father, 13 and 6, that is what matters to me. So when my kids look at TV and tell me what their dad is doing I better be a great representative of my kids. The first thing on my list is that I do the things necessary so when tell my daughter you work hard and be the best person you can be, I can't come out and do anything differently, because I wouldn't be a good leader."
