A Baby Step Toward the Right Direction...

Well, finally got back to cashing but of course it comes when I decrease my buy-in. I had a feeling if I stay around the $20 level or increased my buy-in, I'm sure I would have been unsuccessful in cashing, but the saying is (although I forgot who said it) that when you are struggling, you're suppose to decrease your buy-in (or stakes in cash games) to try to rebound... But for some reason, I think the higher the stakes I play, the more unluckier I am too unfortunately...

A Little Poker Analysis: Sometimes your Read is Right...

My analysis from the flop of Q-Q-2... My intention of this flop was to check out of position to see what my opponent would do... Most likely, if he bet, I would put him on air as people tend not to bet trips esp. when the bet is pot-sized... I figured he was trying to steal the pot right out and maybe he had something like a small pair (ended up being half true) or an Ace high that whiffed... So with that in mind, I decided to shove and he Phil Hellmuth-INSTA-calls with a pair of 7s!? I mean, it was a great call, but an INSTA-call?!

Ace Carolla Survives Week 1 of DWTS

I have never laughed so hard watching DWTS, but this obviously was in a good way... My fav. mourning radio talkshow host and comedian Adam Carolla put aside is mouth (temporarily) and put on a pair of dancing shoes, something I thought he'd never do. In his first dance, Ace was screwed and got 5s from all of the judges... Even more controversial (or at least, that's what everybody did), while judge Carrie Ann was revealing her scores, Ace let the "bitch" and/or "witch" remark out!! The next morning on his show, Adam jokingly remarks that he was talking to his publicist "Mitch" while Teresa states isn't your publicist name Lewis... lol... Adam's the best!!

Here's a video of Adam's 1st dance edited w/Adam signing Gary Puckett's "Young Girl" below... I also loved the reference that Adam made when talking to Jimmy Kimmel in explaining reaching for the sky/stars... Apparently, the lovely Juliann told Adam to look up and away like you're poo/fart doesn't stink...



And for kicks, the 2nd dance (Samba) below editing w/Ranchero music (both videos found here too)... Gotta love the slick finger point, almost getting kicked in the face, the "too hot" point to the ass, and the reverse ninja roll!!

Ace-Man Lands Ace Dancer After Dropping Bombshell

Yesterday, my favorite radio personality Adam Carolla stunned the world announcing that he would partake in the 6th Season of the hit series "Dancing with the Stars", which we be on in mid March. This was a major shocker as the Ace-man has always bashed reality TV shows, including the show that he'll be on (In the words of Adam, is that "blow-hardy"?



If that wasn't enough, Adam's dance partner would be secretly revealed later in his radio broadcast. Before she (or he) as Bald Bryan and Teresa joked, Adam got his wife Lynnete on the line and had her confirm that Adam would only (jokingly) run away with the VERY lovely, ravishing, sexy girl-next-door Juliann, who is the reigning two-time champion of the show. Low and behold, Juliann is revealed as Ace's partner!!



Adam will also be a guest on Oprah today of all hosts to promote the show... I still remember one of Adam's great rants on Oprah... where he concludes and calls her a bitch!! I never liked the Oprah show but this one should be very interesting to watch...

Blazers vs. Hawks 1/21/08

Just got done watching the replay of the Blazers and Hawks game (damn the 11am start time) and wowzers!! What a game!! I don't know where to start but I must say my man Sergio Rodriguez is magnifico!! From driving layups to burying threes to pump fakes to razzle-dazzle no look passes, Sergio was firing on all cylinders... He only played 16 mins (I guess Nate is still a non-believer of Sergio) but made the most of his time going 6-7 from the field (with the only shot he missed was a shot being rejected by Josh Smith), 2-2 from the line, 2-2 from downtown, dished out 4 assists and had 2 rebounds... Without his play tonight, there was no way the Blazers would have come back from an early 11 point deficit.

How big has Travis Outlaw been on this road trip?! With the exception of that missed dunk "T-Law" aka "Trout" aka "TO" has been automatic with his outside sharpshooting! The game winner was pretty sick in which he was guarded by Superman-superhuman defender Josh Smith and with a hand in his face, Outlaw sunk the long deuce game-winning shot in OT.

This game could have easily been lost thanks to poor coaching of Nate McMillan, the so-called Coach of the Month in December... How can somebody play someone scorching hot as Sergio for only 16 minutes and not let him play in the OT at all?! Instead, Nate puts in a struggling Steve Blake in the 4th quarter, who air-balled a three pointer immediately after entering the game... Blake was completely removed from the OT for shooting guard that played the point Jarrett Jack, who by no means, was on efficient tonight as Sergio...

If the Blazers were to have lost this game, I'm sure the forums would be all over Nate for this... Even though the Blazers won, he still should be drilled for his incompetence of leaving Sergio out... I mean, did you see the Blazers blow a 6 point lead in the 4th with him out and not to mention, that we almost lost this game in OT because of Nate's mind-boggling decision... Need more proof... Here were the lines of guards of the night:

* PG Steve Blake: 7 points in 32 minutes going 3-8 FGs with 2 rebounds and 7 dimes. Overall +/- in the game was +5
* SG/PG B-Roy: 18 points in almost 41 minutes on 8-22 FGs with 2 rebounds and 3 dimes. Overall +/- in the game was -10
* SG/PG Jarrett Jack: 4 points in almost 17 mins on 2-2 FGs with rebound and 1 assist. Overall +/- was -5
* PG Sergio Rodriguez: 16 points in 16 minutes on 6-7 shooting; with 2 rebounds and 4 dimes. Overall +/- was +14

Another footnote that shouldn't be ignored is Nate leaving in a struggling LaMarcus Aldridge instead of a hot Channing Frye... Aldridge is one of my favorite Blazers, but when you're shooting abysmaly and getting outhussled on the glass, you need to benched in the crunch time. The main reason why Frye got to play the OT was because the same Atlanta crew that messed up Shaq's personal foul count (got fined $50,000 for that) and couldn't figure out how many foul's Aldridge had.

Aldridge/Comparsion:
* Aldridge: 8 points in 28 minutes on 3-12 FGs with 5 rebounds and 0 dimes/steals/blocks. Overall +/- in the game was -12
* Frye: 9 points in 25 mins on 3-8 FGs, with 7 rebounds, and 1 dime, steal, and block a piece. Overall +/- in the game was +10

And what about Joel Przybilla's almost no show in OT... He was subbed into the OT to rebound a possible FT miss but then was never put back into the OT... It felt like Atlanta had 20 offensive rebounds in the OT which second chance opportunities kept them in the game... Why would Nate put in his best defender and rebounder to limit their 2nd chances?! Mind-boggling isn't it yet somehow, this team young, inexperienced team is good enough to overshadow McMillan's questionable decisions...

Joel was effective in the limited 18 minutes he got... Ended with 7 pts on 2-2 FGs, 3-3 FTs with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block (felt like more since he alters so many shots).

On to New Orleans...

Blazers vs. Raptors 1/13/08

Unfortunately. I missed the first 3 quarters of this game but turned in just in time when the action was getting wicked. Blazers had a 6 point cushion going into the 4th and basically, Nate McMillan, coach of the month or not, blew this game for my Blazers. Chirs Bosh was absolutely having his way with LaMarcus Aldridge and was the main catalyst behind Toronto's comeback. They turned a six point deficit into a 7 point lead with about 4 minutes to go. But, with an all-star game from Brandon Roy and great shooting from "Mr. 4th Quarter" Travis Outlaw (Mike Rice's nickname for "T-Law" aka "Trout"), the Blazers would mount a comeback of their own. I wasn't too happy with Nate's usage of timeouts... He burned 2 timeouts around the 1:25 mark in the 4th quarter after the team had advanced the ball past half-court of all things too and ran out of timeouts by the 45 second mark or so, thus the Blazers would not have extra timeouts to advance the ball. Way to go dumbass, but because of Travis Outlaw's sick 4 point play to force OT, he bailed Nate out.

You figure that after getting dominated by Chris Bosh that Nate McMillan would redeem himself in overtime by putting his best rebounder and defender into the game to guard Bosh... Nope... Blazers played well and maintained a 2 point lead throughout most of the 1st OT, but in the end, Bosh and Calderon were too much... Again, it took another bailout three, this time by Roy, to salvage Nate and the Blazers...

2nd OT starts off w/Bosh winning the jumpball again and scoring a quick 4 points that would catapult the Raptors to victory... Again, after the timeout, no Pryzbilla...

I am still mind-boggled by the Blazers winning streak w/McMillan as the coach... the guy seems to be clueless in matchups and substituting players in the right situation, yet the team keeps winning and thus, somehow, gave him Coach of the Month honors... Maybe this current road trip will test Nate's coaching ability, but its scary to think how great this Blazer team can be with Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez coming next year, and/or getting a coach that knows what he's doing...
