Finale

Today marked the end of a legacy, as Captain Captain Industries Presents : T-Shirt Time (the radio show) was broadcast exclusively by long-time host Patrick Duffy. Today was his final show before he heads to Oregon for an undetermined amount of time.

Here's a gift - from him.

Boletim de Avaliação - Pacific Division - Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers

Não é fácil ser fã dos Clippers. São uma das constantes desilusões da NBA, passando as últimas duas décadas entre ter uma equipa má que fica nos últimos lugares da liga e ter uma equipa boa que fica sempre aquém do potencial. Este ano, mais uma vez, parecem ter o potencial para conseguir muito mais vitórias que em 2009-2010 (tiveram 29 apenas).

A maior aquisição para esta época é a estreia do nº1 do draft de 2009, Blake Griffin, que não jogou a época passada por lesão.

Entradas / Saídas

Tinham espaço salarial para um contrato máximo e entraram na corrida por Lebron, mas acabaram o período de free agency sem conseguir atrair um dos grandes nomes.

Saíram Steve Blake, Drew Gooden e Travis Outlaw e entraram Al-Farouq Aminu (escolha no draft), Eric Bledsoe (escolha no draft), Ryan Gomes, Randy Foye e Brian Cook.

Frontcourt

Com Griffin recuperado e Kaman vindo de uma grande época, têm um dos melhores frontcourts da Conferência Oeste. E, com Aminu, têm ainda outro ressaltador poderoso a vir do banco.

Como small forward (aquela posição que procuravam preencher na free agency) estará Ryan Gomes, que, não sendo o grande free agent que desejavam, fez uma boa época em Minnesota (10.9 pts, 4.6 res) e é uma boa adição.

Backcourt

Baron Davis já não é o base de outrora, mas ainda é um dos melhores bases da Conferência Oeste. Terá no entanto de melhorar a selecção e percentagem de lançamento. Eric Gordon foi uma das surpresas do ano anterior e é actualmente o elemento mais fiável do backcourt dos Clippers. Volta da selecção dos Estados Unidos motivado, com a medalha de Ouro no Campeonato do Mundo da FIBA.

Banco

Aqui encontramos uma curiosa colecção de jogadores que nunca (ou ainda não) atingiram o potencial que lhes era apontado: Randy Foye, DeAndre Jordan, Brian Cook. Parece o banco ideal para fazer jus ao historial dos Clippers, mas não o banco ideal para atacar os lugares de playoff. Esta era a área que mais precisavam de reforçar e pouco fizeram.

Treinador

Contrataram Vinnie Del Negro que, depois de ter sido contratado por Chicago sem nenhuma experiência anterior de treinador (e posteriormente despedido), tem aqui a sua segunda equipa na NBA. Colocar os Clippers a jogar bem e a competir na forte Conferência Oeste? Ai está um grande desafio para um treinador ainda inexperiente.

Resumo

Os Clippers têm um 5 inicial bom, embora 4 desses jogadores já lá estivessem o ano anterior, por isso, não melhoraram muito esta offseason. Para aspirar a lutar pelos playoffs, têm de conseguir manter-se longe das lesões (uma praga que parece persegui-los).

E, mesmo assim, com o banco pouco reforçado, poderá não ser suficiente.

Nota: 9

Nate McMillan Plans to Use Rudy Fernandez Off the Bench

Blazers coach Nate McMillan told The Oregonian that he intends to use Rudy Fernandez as a rotation player off the bench.

The Breakdown
Rostering Fernandez this season seems like a big risk for fantasy owners. He told McMillan that he wants to return to Europe. The Blazers aren't letting him out of his contract, so he'll be forced to suit up for Portland this season. But Fernandez's displeasure could turn into a lack of effort on the court. Stay away from him in standard leagues. Deep leaguers should consider taking a gamble on him late as it could pay off if Fernandez puts his feelings aside and gives his full effort.

Magic's Jason Williams to Undergo Knee Surgery

Orlando Magic point guard Jason Williams is scheduled to have arthroscopic knee surgery on Thursday, which will sideline him 4 weeks.

The Breakdown
This ensures that Chris Duhon gets the minutes behind starter Jameer Nelson to begin the season. Williams may have to work his way back into the rotation when he returns, but this is something only owners in very deep leagues should follow.

Boletim de Avaliação - Pacific Division - Warriors

Golden State Warriors

A última movimentação, dias antes do training camp começar, foi o despedimento do treinador Don Nelson e a promoção do treinador-adjunto Keith Smart para treinador principal, por isso talvez este ano os Warriors comecem a defender.

Entradas / Saídas

Foi das equipas que mais movimentações fez: saíram Anthony Morrow, Anthony Tolliver, CJ Watson, Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf, Corey Maggette, Devean George e Chris Hunter e entraram Ekpe Udoh (escolha no draft deste ano), David Lee, Louis Amundson, Dan Gadzuric, Charlie Bell, Rodney Carney, Dorrel Wright e Jeremy Lin.

Trocaram uma mão cheia de jogadores jovens e com potencial por jogadores mais velhos e mais estabelecidos na liga, o que deverá melhorar um dos principais problemas da equipa: a falta de consistência e irregularidade.

Frontcourt

O jogo interior está mais forte, com a troca de uma esperança e um trabalhador (Randolph e Turiaf) por uma certeza e outro trabalhador (Lee e Amundson). Se Andris Biedrins tiver uma época sem lesões e voltar ao nível de há 2 anos atrás, o frontcourt de Lee e Biedrins vai assegurar melhor defesa e mais ressaltos.

Udoh é um extremo atlético que deve integrar-se bem no jogo rápido dos Warriors e providenciar mais defesa também. No entanto lesionou-se no pulso e só voltará a jogar daqui a 4 a 6 meses, pelo que não será um elemento a contar para esta época.

Perderam Corey Maggette e com a saída de Morrow perderam um grande atirador (entrou outro atirador, Wright, mas não tão bom) e a posição de small forward parece a mais fraca do 5 inicial.

Backcourt

O jogo exterior está praticamente igual e os Warriors continuam com um problema por resolver no backcourt: é um backcourt pequeno, em que apenas um dos jogadores defende e com dois jogadores semelhantes e que não se complementam. Monta Ellis é exclusivamente um marcador de pontos que precisa de ter sempre a bola na mão para render e Stephen Curry é um base, marcador também, mas com muito mais capacidade de construção que também precisa de ter a bola.

Banco

No banco, é onde se nota o lado menos positivo de trocar os jogadores jovens pelos mais estabelecidos: ganharam estabilidade, mas perderam explosividade, velocidade e talento.

Resumo

Com todas as entradas e saídas, a equipa de Golden State parece ter ficado mais ou menos na mesma: ganhou talento no 5 inicial, mas perdeu talento nos suplentes. Ganhou mais poder no jogo interior, mas perdeu no jogo exterior. Juntaram elementos que ajudarão a melhorar a defesa, mas conseguirão manter o ataque? É uma equipa que parece ter trocado umas forças por outras e a maior incógnita é se o novo treinador consegue colocar a equipa a defender melhor sem perder a eficiência ofensiva de anos anteriores.

O saldo desta offseason é positivo, mas não muito.

Nota: 11

(amanhã: Pacific Division - Los Angeles Clippers)

Sixers Starting Line Up Taking Shape

Heading into training camp, Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins has been going with the following as his starters:

Center: Spencer Hawes
Power Forward: Elton Brand
Small Forward: Thaddeus Young
Shooting Guard: Andre Iguodala
Point Guard: Jrue Holiday

The Breakdown
It appears that Evan Turner will have a bench role, but things could change as camp progresses. It was thought that Philly would start Brand at center, but obviously coach Collins doesn't want to give up so much size and is going with Hawes in the middle. If Hawes sticks in the starting line up, this increases his value going into the season.

We'll have to see how Turner is used throughout the preseason to get a better idea of what we can expect from him this season. Coming off the bench, though, is a clear blow to his fantasy value because it will be tough for him to get big minutes behind talented players like Iguodala and Young.

Competition Heats Up for Pacers Starting Power Forward Spot

With training camp underway, the competition for a the starting power forward spot in Indiana is heating up.

The Breakdown
Heading into camp, Tyler Hansbrough is the favorite to earn the starting role. He'll have to prove, though, that he's over the vertigo and ear problems he's dealt with over the last few months. Josh McRoberts, Solomon Jones, and Jeff Foster are also vying for that starting gig.

This is an interesting situation to watch as the man who comes out on top could get big minutes and be a nice fantasy contributor this year. With Hansbrough's injury problems last season, it may be a good idea to pick up Josh McRoberts in deeper leagues just in case Tyler sustains another injury. While Foster and Jones are in the mix, the likely starter will be either Hansbrough or McRoberts.

Byron Scott Plans to Use J.J. Hickson Alongside Antawn Jamison

Cavaliers coach Byron Scott told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he intends to use Antawn Jamison at small forward more often in order to get J.J. Hickson more playing time at power forward.

The Breakdown
This report basically confirms that Cleveland will turn to Hickson for many of the minutes vacated by the departure of LeBron James. It's not a certainty that Hickson will be the opening day starter, but he should see an increase in minutes compared to last season. Hickson remains a great sleeper pick heading into the season.

Short Homecoming Dresses - Choosing the Right One

You may be contemplating what type of homecoming dress you should choose for the homecoming dance this year. You should consider going with a short dress. These dresses are stylish and they also can be innocent and sweet if you want.

They can be spiced up if you have the attitude for it. The short black homecoming or cocktail dress is a classic, but may be a little bland for you. You can consider going bold with a green homecoming dress or even blush colored homecoming dresses are popular.  A salsa styled dress will definitely turn heads when you walk in the dance. They tend to have ruffles and are made along the style of the sensuous professional dancer attire that you may see on television.

It is important to know your size or measurements when looking for a short prom or homecoming dress. If possible, get someone to take your measurements. These can be taken by a friend, relative, or even a seamstress. Not all dresses are true to size, so taking your measurements will ensure the proper fit and avoid any major alterations. Measure your bust, hips, and waist. Write these measurements down, or store them in your cell phone, and take them along while shopping or while looking online.   Most websites do have measurement and size charts. Make sure to pay attention to these before ordering your dress online.

If you want to go in a designer dress fashion route, there are some great designers who have short dresses that can be worn for homecoming or prom. The popular designers are Anna Scott, Alyce Designs, Faviana, Flirt, La Femme, Night Moves and many more. These short dresses come in a variety of sizes. No need to worry if you are petite or plus size. They will have the perfect dress for you.

Don't forget to know what your body type is. Let's be honest not all dresses look good on certain people; especially if you are getting a short homecoming or prom dress. You should know if you have a pear, apple, hourglass, or straight body type. Find a dress that will flatter the body type you have. You may have to wear shapewear underneath. Don't think that shapewear is just for your grandmother either. Some of the top celebrities wear shapewear to bring out the figure and curves when they are in stage costumes or formal gowns!  Liliana Faviana

Faltam 27 dias

Uma nova época da NBA está prestes a começar. Depois de uma das offseasons mais movimentadas (a mais movimentada?) de sempre, as equipas iniciaram os seus treinos esta semana. As trocas estão feitas (embora corram os rumores de mais movimentações importantes antes de começar a época), os free agents estão contratados, os ajustes e retoques nos plantéis estão terminados (ou quase) e é a altura do ano para os discursos optimistas, aquela altura de altas expectativas, em que todas as equipas estão convencidas que esta será uma época melhor que a anterior.

Desde 2ª feira as equipas têm-se apresentado aos meios de comunicação social e, atendendo às declarações aos jornalistas, todas melhoraram o plantel, todas estão melhor que o ano passado e todas vão fazer progressos.

Não quer isto dizer que todas têm o mesmo objectivo. Enquanto algumas definem a conquista do título como objectivo, outras querem chegar mais longe nos playoffs que no ano anterior e para outras chegar aos playoffs já será uma vitória.

Mas terão todas feito as melhores contratações e as mudanças certas para o conseguirem?

No site da NBA, avaliaram a offseason de cada uma das 30 equipas nos Summer Report Cards e, a julgar pelas notas dadas, muitas equipas parecem tê-lo feito. Um dado curioso ressalta: nenhum das 30 equipas recebeu um F (uma negativa, na escala escolar americana). Mas será possível que nenhuma tenha piorado ou errado nas decisões tomadas?

É claro que ainda não se jogou um único minuto da nova época e, no papel, todas as decisões são boas. E, embora concordemos com algumas das notas dadas, outras parecem-nos, no mínimo, muito optimistas.

Por isso, até a época começar (dia 26 de Outubro, marquem nos vossos calendários), vamos fazer um resumo das movimentações e contratações e fazer a nossa avaliação das 30 equipas, divisão a divisão, a começar pela dos actuais campeões.

Amanhã: Boletim de Avaliação da Pacific Division.

Durant, MVP da humildade

Durante uma entrevista para uma rádio perguntaram a Dwight Howard quem preferia ter na sua equipa: Lebron James ou Kevin Durant.

A resposta do Superman? "I'm gonna go with Kevin."

Confrontado pelos jornalistas com esta opinião de Howard, Durant ficou lisonjeado, mas acrescentou: "Para ser honesto, como competidor e como alguém que é honesto consigo mesmo, não acho que esteja no nível do Lebron ainda. Estou a trabalhar, no entanto. Posso dizer-vos isso. Estou a tentar chegar lá. Mas, neste momento, penso que não estou no nível dele."

Depois de ter sido o jogador mais jovem de sempre a ganhar o título de Melhor Marcador da NBA e ter sido eleito o MVP da última edição do Campeonato do Mundo da FIBA, diz que "nada disso importa agora. Não posso encostar-me ao que fiz no passado, tenho de continuar a trabalhar e fazer o meu futuro ainda melhor e o futuro da minha equipa ainda melhor." Elege como prioridades para a próxima época "melhorar o domínio de bola e os movimentos a poste baixo."

E referindo-se ao que seria uma época de sucesso para os Thunder: " Mais treinos bons do que maus. Se pudermos dizer isso, vamos ter um grande ano."

Quem é que eu preferia ter na minha equipa? I'm definitely gonna go with Kevin.

Tracy McGrady - 13 em 35''

O SeteVinteCinco está apenas no início, mas que tal este final?

Era uma vez na América

A NBA é a maior e melhor liga de basquetebol do mundo. Lá encontramos os melhores jogadores, as melhores equipas e os melhores pavilhões. Cresceu desde uma modesta liga americana com 11 equipas, nos anos 40, até à referência desportiva e cultural global que é na actualidade. Mas, como sabemos, nada disso seria uma realidade se antes não tivesse existido o Dr. James Naismith.

Naismith, canadiano, professor de Educação Física no International Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), em Springfield, Massachussets, recebeu, num chuvoso Dezembro de 1891, um ultimato do director do colégio: tinha duas semanas para inventar um jogo que pudesse ser realizado no interior do ginásio, para manter os irrequietos alunos ocupados durante os longos invernos do estado de New England.

Inspirado pelo jogo infantil Duck on a Rock, pregou dois cestos de fruta em paredes opostas do ginásio e escreveu as 13 regras originais do novo jogo. Seguindo a sugestão de um aluno, chamou-lhe Basket Ball.

("First draft of Basket Ball rules. Hung in the Gym that the boys might learn the rules. 1892")

AS 13 REGRAS ORIGINAIS DO DR. NAISMITH:

1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.

2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).

3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.

4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.

5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed.

6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3,4, and such as described in Rule 5.

7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the mean time making a foul).

8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.

9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that side.

10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5.

11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made, and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee.

12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with five minutes' rest between.

13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In case of a draw, the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

Draping Spring 2010 Fashion Trend

Fashion pros worked hard to make their creations even more flattering for all body shapes. The 2010 Spring draping fashion trend serve as the quintessential means to narrow the chasm between average women and the ready-to-wear collections presented on the catwalk. The floating fabric as well as the relaxed flow of the dresses

and tops will offer everyone the chance to camouflage eventual beauty flaws and place into the spotlight the most flattering features.

Swag Week Finale - " 'Environmentally Aware Swaggin' "

This video is a perfect way to celebrate the finale of "Swag Week". Long-time friend Abigail Frerichs performs Switchfoot's 'Dare You To Move' in support of the re-building of the Lake Delhi Dam, which was destroyed on July 24th of this year.

I really need to start playing again. Songs like that are beyond inspiring.



Here's two brothers I went to school with. Their performance of Mayday Parade's 'Miserable at Best' is five minutes and twenty-four seconds of perfection.



I'm definitely feeling the guitar today. The weather's perfect, most of football has hit halftime, and Dexter doesn't start until later tonight. I'm gonna fill up the tank and drive somewhere and re-polish my acoustic "skills". (Note that 'skills' is in quotes...)

More posts later today, but I knew this was the right way to end Swag Week -- on a positive note.

Swag Week (Part VI) - College Gameday Edition

Ball State - 0 Iowa - 45

Captain Captain Industries will be closed for the remainder of today as a various illness has swept through the main office, getting the Captain in a tremendous funk.

Hey, at least Iowa bounced back after a (predictable) but never-the-less deflating defeat last week in Arizona. Even local backup QB James Vandenberg tossed one in for six. An easy victory is exactly what Iowa needed, as they prepare to rest their starters for next week's Big 10 kickoff against JoePa's Penn State.

I feel better already. *cough cough*
Well, not quite, but it certainly helped.



I'm off to eat some soup (Look at that picture. I want all of that. I swear, being sick is the equivalent of being mecca-stoned. Munchies galore.), drink loads of Canada Dry, and attempt to make an appearance at an anonymous Captain Captain Board Member's birthday bonfire -- except it's been raining all day. Just my luck.

Grande banho de basquetebol...

 Assisti ontem em directo e de borla ao banho de basquetebol que o Barcelona deu ao Real Madrid  (http://acb360.orange.es/diferidos/SCOPA/11/2) na SuperCopa.
O campeão da Europa arrasou o novo projecto de Messina por 34 pontos ( e poderiam ter sido bem mais....) Ficou mais uma vez clara a grande distância que separa os conjuntos. Com  Ricky y Morris a liderar o Barcelona só fica surpreendido com a vantagem pontual  quem ainda não viu  o jogo .
 Messina sofreu a maior derrota  da sua carreira e tem muito trabalho pela frente . Provavelmente com muito  pouco tempo para inverter a situação ...





Hoje não percam a final   Barça - Caja Laboral (ás 18 horas portuguesas em http://acb360.orange.es )

Hornets Sign Jannero Pargo

The New Orleans Hornets have signed point guard Jannero Pargo to back up Chris Paul.

The Breakdown
The Hornets needed a proven point guard off the bench with only Mustafa Shakur as the only player on the roster who could play the point. This is a great signing for the Hornets considering Pargo had the best years of his career in his previous stint with New Orleans. Pargo looks like a good pick up in deep leagues.

Warriors Coach Don Nelson Resigns

Comcast SportsNet reports that Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson has resigned. One of his assistants, Keith Smart, will take over coaching duties this season.

The Breakdown
Fantasy owners loved Nelson for running a high octane offense that produced fantasy goodness for anyone who played consistent minutes. Fantasy owners also hated him for being reluctant to play rookies, benching players randomly, and constantly changing his rotations.

Although Keith Smart worked under Nelson, it's no guarantee he'll continue what Nelson started. Smart may change the offense drastically and may use star players like Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis differently. We'll have to wait and see if the Warriors continue creating fantasy producers out of D-Leaguers.

Swag Week (Part V) - DJ Pauly D Edition

Dear established readers,

So, as it turns out, DJ Pauly D is going to have his own MTV spin-off, with his DJ skills being the primary focus. My money was on 'The Situation' getting a 'Flavor of Love' type of deal, but I guess MTV felt Paul DelVecchio would provide some better TV - can't necessarily argue there. Hopefully, Pauly steers clear of all of those Miami grenades in his quest to gym, tan, and do his laundry.

Guess it's finally time to Beat That Beat Up.




In addition, it's Homecoming Week in jolly Fairfield. Time to kick back, hang with a few Captain Captain Industry employees, and watch the class before me obliterate poor Chariton. Captain Captain Industries is about to light this town up. And maybe fist-pump in the process.

Have a sick weekend, y'all.

John Legend & The Roots - Hard Times (featuring Black Thought)

John Legend and The Roots are bringing out the best of each other’s great taste for pillar songs from soul music’s prime—the ’60s and ’70s on this new album. I really think this new album could be a benchmark in both of their careers. It’s rare we see The Roots make an alliance with a solo artist, Jay-Z was one of the last great moments when ?uestlove and company made history with him on his Unplugged album, carrying their live synergy to Madison Square Garden and beyond. Overall I really dig this song (Hard Times) and the entire album. It's about 11 tracks deep and all are very good. Check out this video of the live version.
