    Is Paul Allen trying to build a Zombie Navy to take over the NBA's ref bias against Portland?

    Not too long after this brutal ass kicking the US Navy took in 1942 in and around Iron Bottom Sound near the Solomon Islands, the Navy and MIT went to work. Training for the Naval officers about their equipment. Training for Fire Controlman to use the vastly superior equipment already on board the defeated ships.

    It worked!

    I will never forget the discussion I had with a veteran of the Guadalcanal Naval Battle. His description of hearing the Australian ship Canberra go to the bottom of the sea in the pitch black was haunting. The scenes in Dunkirk reminded me of it. Those guys went through hell and many didn't live to tell about it.
    RIP USS Juneau and her many lost souls.

    Sure, here is a teaser for "Zombie Vulcan navy, Paul Allen vs. the evil refs":

    It was a dark and stormy night and on the loading docks of the Rose Garden Rasheed Wallace ran after Tim Donaghy discussing Donaghy's parental lineage and other matters of much great importance. Donaghy, trained in the dark force by the great Commissioner drew his staff and whistle and uttered the dreaded 7 game suspension spell. Unbeknownst to the dark lord and his minion, in the bowels of the ancient ocean that once covered beautiful central Oregon ghouls were assembled by a Vulcan warrior and his deep sea sub-marine. Because central Oregon has risen from below the waves, the submarine was nothing more than a 1996 Ford Excusrion Big Ranch with the four wheel drive and black leather option. At the wheel was future Vulcan, cave man and hunting enthusiast Chris Kaman - known for his work on the low block. "How do you operate this vessel?" he said to his trusty sidekick. "I don't know rookie" answered Big John - "I only drive the John Deer when the grass gets long". An awkward silence fell upon them both.
