Oops.

I know this is the impossible dream, but...

…it would also be nice if Martell could hit a shot or two on the road. Maybe someone should give Martell a mix tape of the horrible “music” they blast at the Rose Garden. After listening to it in the locker room, Martell would feel more at home, and his 3-pointers (not to mention free throws) would start to drop.

Hey, it could happen…

Yay early games!

It’s nice to have evenings free afterward.

That was the best part of the East coast I thought

Everyone goes to bed, time for just me and my Blazers!

Middle of the night – nobody to hear the stress!

And TNT is the worst

On TV timeouts. They are at least 60 seocnds longer than ESPN’s and about double normal.

The OT game against Houston lat year

Beetter known as the Roy miracle game, didn’t end until about 11 PM local.

yeah, I was up. But that kind of a win makes it all worth it.

It’s the losses that then make it so hard to go to sleep.
So if they could only win everyone of those late games, I could be okay with staying up for them.

Recovery day to split in Florida

LMA will need to be huge

LMA should be very fresh after his peformance yesterday...

He seems to be hurting the last two games

Come on Blazers

Pick me up. My Fantasy team is getting worked. All my opponents are having career days (2-weeks finals but I’m done if I don’t get about 30 points this afternoon).

continuing the trend of Memphis looking like a playoff team the last few weeks...

and Denver looking like a team that will get the 2nd or 3rd seed but not instill any fear in the Lakers whatsoever.

Memphis has the talent to be a playoff team

They just don’t play together often enough.

Crazy.

Memphis is really playing well. I turned them on the other night and was amazed to see good ball movement and unselfish play.

OJ Mayo didn’t look much like a ball hog and Z-Bo was trying hard. Who would have thunk it?

by Nick Van Excellent on Dec 20, 2009 2:59 PM PST up reply actions  

All those former Blazers coaching that team

All 3 of them (Stoudamire, Davis and Hollins) must be the reason.

Bob Akamian has a face for radio

Why on why is he on TV

On game day, I leave the turkey alone because it is some chemicals in that thing. Nate Mcmillian 11/26/09

This is the least offensive opening credits of the season

I like that they stayed faithful to the original tune, and I like the graphics.

Your refs tonight

J. DeRosa, D. Guthrie, J. Tiven
