First

Worst

I'm frequently right, but always certain

by jscot on Apr 14, 2008 11:57 PM PDT 0 recs

I want to be first and third

So i can be worst and a turd.

by Sabonis4Ever on Apr 14, 2008 11:59 PM PDT 0 recs

Interestingly

I always played that third was the one with a hairy chest -- a fate far worse than being a turd when you're five years old.

by BlazersOrBust on Apr 15, 2008 7:31 AM PDT up 0 recs

I was slower than most my friends,

So i said third was the one with the treasure chest.

Two More Wins

And my preseason predictions are jiggy even.

Early to Bedge and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

My friend called me this morning...

His mom was given 4 blazer tickets to this game by a client of hers. She is no blazer fan, so she gave them to us. So now we are going to the game, I was jacked/stoked!(choose the most obsurd)!!

So, he picked up the tickets tonight after he got off work. Then the phone call came late tonight, after I had started to fall asleep. It went as follows:

Me: "What!?!"

him: "Dude, we are sitting right behind Paul Allen!"

me: "no #$^& ? We got 100 level tickets?"

him: "no, these cost $275.00 a piece. We are literally a couple rows off the court, and right behind Paul Allen"

Me "OH MY $$#^#%^%&^$&$&$&$&$^&#%$@$%%$^%^&^&!!! YESSIR!!!!!"

Now I cant sleep, soooo excited...

LOL

I have to admit those stats are undeniable...

ps I will believe I am sitting right behind Paul Allen when I am looking at the back of his balding head. Regardless though, I am going to be closer to nba action than I have ever been in my life. Soooooo excited...

One of the best. I didn't know Marv Albert worked for the Nets. I thought he only did the National games.

Graph

Why isn't Chuck Swirsky all the way to the left...also, I didn't see Bill Walton, I am assuming it was because he was so far below the graph.

by porterfan30 on Apr 15, 2008 11:11 AM PDT up 0 recs

AWESOME

I'm so happy for you. PA was the subject of my freshman project in college...I'm so envious of you.

Oh Yeah

What he said, congratulations. Those are awesome seats.

Sweet!

When I was buying tickets for the Blazer Laker game last Tuesday I went to Craigslist to see what they had to offer. A description of this one guys seats were "19 rows up from Paul Allen". It was funny because they were priced more than all the other tickets in that area.

42-40

The Blazers will be up for the Memphis game because it will guarantee them a winning season. They always play well against good teams and might catch the Suns looking forward to the playoffs. I see 42-40 when it's all said and done. We'll see. I can't tell you all how happy I am that this will be the last season we are on the outside looking in for a long, long time.

I know we're inconsistent...

But last home game of the year, after a great win, last home game, playing a pretty damn bad Grizzlies team, at the last home game of the year in front of a raucous last-home-game crowd... that's GOTTA equal sum winny win win.

Plus there will be no end of legally [mentally deficient] posts saying to trade Roy or Fire Nate if we lose. I don't wanna even not read 'em, I sez I don't wanna even see 'em!

I'm hoping for a big blow out, we see Sergio and McBob throw a huge alley-oop down, chalupas rain from the sky and Rudy Gay finds his way into a Blazers uniform in time for the Suns game later this week.

Since I think it's the last home game of the year, I envision a high scoring affair. I see Martell ripping a healthy heart out of Brian Cardinal and swallowing it whole, healing his own heart forever... and then he hits fourteen 3's, shattering the old NBA record of 12. I see LMA showing a mean side and giving Brian Cardinal stitches. Roy gets a triple double-- IN BLOOD. I don't know what that means, but it might involve Brian Cardinal going home in a body bag.

PURSUE EVERYTHING.

Martell's not playing

I supposed he could still eat a heart, but he won't be able to score all those points.

by Section323 on Apr 15, 2008 11:55 AM PDT up 0 recs

The Martell I know

Won't let some egghead doc tell him what to do. You better believe Marty is playing tonight, and records are gonna fall!

He told me so when we stayed up till 4am playing Excitebike last night. We made our own monster track with turbo after turbo and jump after jump it was incredible!

During Warm ups is there any chance?

We see Oden in line and toss in a few lay ups with the team? Just to leave us all with a little taste of what comes next?

I dreamed this actually happened last night, and it seemed so real. When I woke up I was actually sad it wasn't Wednesday morning.

Mrs. Moe' and I will be in our usual seats in section 116 begging that last nights dream could actually come true.

Rudy Gay

is much better than I ever thought he'd be.

by leeroyjenkins on Apr 15, 2008 5:24 PM PDT 0 recs

Well

The big question about him at draft time was whether he had the motivation to meet his potential. I mean he fell asleep in a few NCAA games for christ sakes. He was a projected top 3 pick if I remember right, falling as low as 7th really motivated him to prove the doubters.

I bet when the Rockets lost in 5 in the first round, they might really be rethinking the acquisition of Shane Battier for him.

Yah I was never excited about him pre-draft

After all I'd seen with the Jailblazers, 'motivation issues' was a huge red flag. I already had the bust label attached to him before he ever played a game.

Guy's a heckuva player though. I was totally wrong.

6 rpg for a reasonably-sized second year guy who's also a scorer is impressive. Only two TO per 37 minutes (against almost 2 assists) is really neat too.

The Clips commentators are perplexed that Elton Brand opted out of his contract. Haven't you been wondering why he is playing during the garbage stretch of the season?

I'd want to get out of Clipperlandia if I was Brand as well.

He's stated he is going to opt out. They were surprised he was turning down 17mil.
