Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Upcoming Stories

Sorry about the lack of an update to this point today.  We're going to be covering the game tonight, of course.  Also on tap for the weekend:

--A look at these games through the eyes of a scout.  What are they looking for in these players and noticing about the team?

--An in-depth interview with Nicolas Batum.

--An interview with the people here who know more about Petteri Koponen and Rudy Fernandez than all of us combined.

--Live footage of Casey Holdahl coming out of the "Thunder from Down Under" male revue with an empty wallet and a great, big smile on his face.

OK...OK...I'm lying.

We really only have the last one.

--Dave

Sounds like he got his money’s worth. ;-)

Hope you’re enjoying Vegas.

Lying is bad for you,you should give it up.

The chair!

The question I most want answered is: What’s the deal with that big red, white, and blue recliner courtside at summer league? It’s always there, but it’s always different people sitting in it. Any way we can see you and Casey brawl over who gets to sit in it and control the remote?

Dear Dave

I think I remember remembering that Martel said he was willing to to to the summer league to help Rudy. Rudy’s not there so I doubt Martel is there; are there any current Blazers in Las Vegas right now?

Thanks

I’m with the players. I wouldn’t want to be in Vegas while the boss was in town.

I doubt George cares

I doubt Dave cares, either.

He's not

but he still probably cares less than George does.

Does Batum speak Spanish?

That way we only need one translator

Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."

I can translate french. My own way, you know...

And i hope Blenzer will return.

Does Rudy do French

so he and Batum can communicate?

We need to keep a roster spot

for a French PG to help Nicolas assimilate.

Nah

No one cares about his assimilation because no one expects him to play.

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.
