Not Quite Open Thread, PDX vs Atlanta



Since the open thread ain't up yet... here is a Not Quite Open thread; a thread which is, while not officially open for business, more than happy to make a quick cup of coffee for loyal customers while the grease in the deep-fryer warms up.  As always, no pictures, no cussin', etc.

Hopefuly Ben and Dave will get the real open thread up soon.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and all that.

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.
