1. Who will be the first player to receive a technical?
Steve Blake
The man has a temper. Usually he controls it, but sometime he is bound to let loose.

2. Who will be the first player to foul out?
Brandon Roy
He will foul out because he has no other choice—he’ll be trying to stop the clock as we lose a close one.

3. Who will be the first player to score over 30 points in a game?
LMA
LaMarvelous goes for 31 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assits, 2 blocks in a career night.

4. Who will be the first player to get a double-double?
LMA
Don’t think “LMA” when you think LaMarcus Aldridge this year. Think “20/10”

5. Who will be the first player sent to the "D" league?
Nic Batum
Where’s DarthBlazers’ countdown to the season starting? Add one second to it and that’s when we’ll see Batum in the DL

6. Who will be the first player to hit a game-winning shot?
LMA
He’ll be at top of the key and drain one with Roy and Outlaw acting as decoys.

7. Who will hit the first 3-pointer?
Webby
Left corner. Blake comes down the middle, dishes, martell swishes.

8. Who will be the first player off the bench?
Joel Pryzbilla and Travis Outlaw come in at the same time.

9. Who will be the first player (not currently injured) to miss a game due to injury?
LMA. I’ll be foot-related.

10. Who will be the first player to have over 2 blocks in a game?
Greg Oden. Duh.

He who laughs last thinks slowest.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
