Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Random heads up: Vegas Summer League flights are going up in price quickly (from PDX). I just bought my flight tix to Vegas today, the prices went up $75 per ticket in the last week. If you are going I suggest you buy the airline tix soon...

And

Rental cars from Payless Rental Car is only $22 a day, with unlimited miles. I got a Hyiunda (sp) for that price, works for me and the wife….

You don't get a hyundai, you get something similar

They never know what the stock is going to be like on any given day (unless you’re getting something like a luxury car or a minivan).

I usually rent the compact car (the second smallest/cheapest car). The economy cars are usually tiny, crappy little cars with no room and no engine. The compact cars are usually smaller 4-door sedans like the Ford Focus or Chevy Cobalt that have decent room, gas mileage and oomph. They also tend to be pretty popular so that they might run out and give you a free upgrade (I’ve rented a Chrysler 300 and a giant Jeep, which turned out to be pretty inconvenient, while trying to rent compacts).

Thanks

A car with no power might be a good thing as my wife usually drives, and drives our power car like a maniac! Maybe I’ll be able to relax! haha Thanks again.

i mean if you wait to buy tickets on tues/wed they're cheaper

prices climb up as the weekend approaches and then drop back down at the start of the week.

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.
