Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Way off topic, I guess, but I see people bickering on the internets about the way the city handled this and wanted the take of the Sedgers.

For those that dont know - Dave Chappelle had an impromptu "show" in Pioneer Square last night at 1am. He expected a few hundred people (based on word of mouth and Twitter) and instead got about 4,000 strong.

I was there!!

Easily one of the weirdest event’s I have attended. It was fun though..

I kept hearing about it happening.

But I didn’t go for two reasons.

1. I figured it was probably a hoax (guess not)

2. I was really, really tired. Otherwise, I’d have been there too!

I hope he does a proper stand-up tour at some point in the very near future. We’ve been without Dave for too long!

Well……not OUR Dave, but you know what I mean….

Yes! Yes! In the face!

WHAT?

How did I miss Dave Chappelle? :(
He needs his show back!

forming a bigger crowd than the Greg Oden and playoff rallies the Trail Blazers have held in the square in recent years.

Don’t think that is true though. Weren’t there like 8 thousand for Greg and 15ish for the playoff rally?

seems like a high number for Pioneer Square.

I was there and let me tell you, it looked more full than the Blazer rally. It was packed.

That was a surprisingly awesome show

For how little happened and how poorly planned it was. Glad I went still.

He promised he’d do a show later though

You have my axe!

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.
