Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Paul Allen Undergoes Medical Procedure

Don't know if anyone saw this but in the notes section of the game story today there was a note about Paul Allen: "Blazers owner Paul Allen was unable to attend Friday's home opener after undergoing an undisclosed medical procedure. On Thursday, Allen appeared in a video to accept the Seattle King County Realtor' First Citizen award, during which he said he couldn't attend 'due to the face I'm recovering from a medical procedure."

Paul doesn't have any next of kin right? I know he's relatively young but I wonder what would happen to the team if something happens...

He has a sister

Jody Patton (sometimes Jo Allen Patton) is very involved in her brother’s ventures. She’s the President and CEO of Vulcan, Inc. as well as the Co-founder and President of Paul G. Allen Family Foundations.

I was surprised he wasn't there Friday night.

 I commented to my friend that he must be off on some hot international business deal. It never entered my mind that it might be health related. I hope that it is nothing serious and he’ll be back courtside soon. Laughed at the clip they showed last night of Shaq nearly ending up in his lap.

He gets a ton of awards

Last week it was the Herbie Hancock award (U2 was in the house, cause they consider him a friend), now another one. The guy gets around. Hope it’s not serious.

Get well soon

What're you thinking about? I don't know.

Who's that under you? I don't know. "

As long as it's not Carpel Tunnel

We can’t afford to lose his check writing ability at such a critical juncture.

Given his history

I hope it is not a recurrance of Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

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.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
