Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Live, From Portland, It's Opening Night!

I woke up feeling like a Cubs fan on Wednesday, that was a major blow.  But as the days tick off, we get relative good news about Oden, and I read this article by Quick about Roy & LMA's budding friendship, the excitement is brewing again.  The Rose Garden is about to be rockin, and even though we've been taken down a notch, the night we've been waiting for is finally here!

What about you?  Are you gettin' fired up? Earth Wind and Fire is doing the freakin introductions!  What the heck we have in store with that, I have no idea....Will you be adorned in red? Or Blazer paint for halloween?  Or perhaps a good wig? 

I'll be working, but certainly feeling all of you're energy.  Will you be able to bring the same energy you had before Oden was out?  I think this still will be a riviting game, not an easy one, but one the crowd can put over the top.  I think Roy and Aldridge will be happy to be in the Garden and put on display the growth they've gone through this summer.  LMA will have his hands full with Timmay (not a BEdger) but there is no Ginoboli, and we've got Rudy! 

I'm just fired up to bring the official season back to the Garden with or without Greg.  He'll be good soon, we just have to practice patience.  Treat you're patience like KP would answer media questions, and meanwhile give the guys we've got out there all the positive support you've got.  We have a young core we only could have dreamed of 3 years ago, so let's just enjoy it.  Keep it in perspective. Getting ahead of ourselves may only lead to disappointment.  One night at a time, and tonight should be a good time to start making the garden the toughest place to play.

Spill your feelings of the home opener and you're new hopes and expectations below!  Rip City is back tonight!

Happy Halloween!

Thanks

for pointing out this great article. I didn’t know Roy and Aldridge weren’t paling around. I can’t wait to see them use this new friendship off court as chemistry on the court. I’ll be paying extra attention to this next game.

Go Blazers

Win this game and we’d erase a lot of the bad memories from Tuesday night. Won’t be easy, but it can be done.

The three Blazers were housed in a trailer. Oden, a notorious sleeper, spent most of the day napping in the back.

Oh that silly Greg, always sleeping.

"For the past two seasons it's been like, 'They're young, they're going to need some time,"' Roy said. "It doesn't feel like that this season."

The author of this fan post is a shady loser

He’ll sell you an $8 beer at the RG…

Shady?

What about that picture of you shaking hands with a terrorist?
