(I’m having a very tough typing day. Typing like Brandon shot the other night. Hopefully he’s gotten over it.)

Man I cannot wait for Roy, Aldridge, Rudy, and the rest of the gang to get the Rose Garden hopping! It’s gonna be great!

No contest over the weekend

Still working out the kinks in the form. Didn’t get them fixed soon enough to announce a game in time to be fair to everyone.

Or will there just be patches of red?

Let's hope the AAU Blazers don't show up tonight

Between the Bars
The pressure of days, do what I say
And I'll make you okay and drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before that you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

WORD UP. STAY. FRESCO.

Last years team

If last years team shows up tonight we should be able to make a valiant effort. I’ll be looking closely at which quarters we keep it close and why.

we will see different team tonight.

I’m sure of it. The team we saw tuesday night is gone. Book it. The energy of the Rose Garden will turn them into a formidable opponent.

Blazers got the first game jitters out of the way

I think they will be much more agressive and will get off to a great start today. MAKE it loud in the Rose Garden tonight, everyone who is going!!!

Booomshakalaka!!!

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.

Martell will be making

A high lottery pick type cash, so that’s good… since he’d go pretty high in the draft right now if we were to take him.

I wonder if it has any cash incentives like extra money for not being moody, and remembering to be as good as he can be every game.

Once it’s in a contract that you gotta be good, you HAVE to be good!

Yay Marty! Even if it just ends up in a trade, yay Marty!

If I don't sail into Ibiza on time

PA gives me 40 lashes and turns off my NBA League Pass!

I know me and you are both Martell fans, so I am happy we re-signed him. This way I know either he’ll be a Blazer for cheap, or packaged up in a deal for a final-esque piece.

It’s a win-win for both the Blazers and Martell. No contract worries and that means Martell won’t have to press once he comes back from injury, and Portland didn’t risk Martell breaking out and pricing himself out of our immediate plans. And if he stays a role player, making less than the MLE is great for a good one like him.

I gotta move the yacht into position 2,000 leagues off the coast of Belize tonight, where PA has arranged for a satellite to orbit the airspace above to beam us the homer opener.

IT’S A ROUGH LIFE.

i predict a good game

and that Brandon Roy will be able to overcome Bruce Bowen’s defense better than game one last year

remember, remember the fifth of November

On ESPN right now

A thingy about the highs and lows of Oden thus far.

If they are mean I’ll murderalize ’em.

It was ah'ite

They stressed it was a minor injury… shouldn’t be a big deal.

Oh, and something about Walton and Bowie. Prolly wasn’t important, I forget what they said.

by Mortimer on Oct 31, 2008 4:51 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

One possibility

Tonite is to bring Rudy in early,move Roy to the 3 taking Bowen with him,bring in Sergio when Parker sits and then give Bayless a few minutes on Parker in the 2nd half and see what he can do about puting clamps on Tony

channelsurfing.net question

Do I have to pay them the $30? Seem pricey. I think I need it and would be worth it, even just for the Friday and Saturday night games that I actually have off for here in J-land.

by einman77 on Oct 31, 2008 5:12 PM PDT   0 recs

don't pay them

if the’re a feed it’s always going to be free cuz it’s technically illegal, i think. just use justin.tv it’s better anyway

I have not paid $30 to do so but that was last Season

I subscribed to international league pass an hour ago. It's $85 for the whole season, or you can buy monthly and daily tickets

I’m watching Boston – Chicago right now on ESPN over it, and at the same time I could be watching two other games.
The interface is not quite as comfortable as the US version which features integrated boxscores and other stuff, but still an awesome offering and improvement over any streaming site.

PG – Blake || Sergio || Bayless

Outlaw starting again?

I’d debate ATF as to which of us is the bigger Outlaw honk, but I think even she would agree Outlaw is better for this team off the pine.

I’d like to see Batum personally, just to see what he could do, but Rudy would certainly stretch out what is going to be another stingy defensive Spurs team.
