Did you folks read ULC's post?
In the middle, it just turns into a funny argument where one group says Blake was traded for a big and another group says he was traded just to make room for Bayless.
The answer is neither.
KP was tired of taking heat for being too cowardly to make an in-season move.

What do Travis and Steve have in common?
They were expiring contracts! This is the reason they were traded

you don’t think the Clips woulda taken Bayless’ three million or Batum or Rudy?
Travis and Steve were traded because they were kinda on the outside looking in with all the roster moves, and they probably would’ve been gone after the season anyway. They did good things in Portland, it was just time to go.
Sterling expressly said that he's going for a big splash this offseason, as he's getting old and wants to attempt at least one decent season for the clips before he dies

the Clippers almost tampered by saying they wanted Camby back, and planned to go after him in the offseason. The deal was made to save cash in a crappy season… but they still woulda taken young talent back. We traded Travis and Steve because they were easy to trade and there wasn’t time in Portland.
This is smart
you don’t think the Clips woulda taken Bayless’ three million or Batum or Rudy?
So no….I don’t think the Clips would have done it
Travis and Steve were traded because they were kinda on the outside looking in with all the roster moves, and they probably would’ve been gone after the season anyway. They did good things in Portland, it was just time to go
.
This I agree with …so it makes sense from our end

Got a PS3 for Christmas.
And all the good games are now cheap. Got four games for $100 instead of 1.6 games. I’m okay being behind when extra money is the only real consequence.

yeah, I wait for the good games. Most of them end up becoming "Greatest Hits" and go for around $30, the only games that are nice to have when they come out are the ones that take place mostly on line
sometimes if you wait too long on those, by the time you get it there aren’t a lot of people to play with.

in some cases the older games are better
Tiger Woods is a title notorious for that. They always try to tweak each new year’s iteration a little too much, and often times make changes that remove the familiarity of the previous generations often to a fault.

I need a new phone and I'm thinking of going modern
I can get whatever I want, should I go Blackberry, iPhone, or something else?
Dunno, really,
except that all my friends and offspring who have Blackberries are lusting mightily after IPhones – for what that’s worth.
The next iPhone version, or at least the software update, will probably not drop before June.
In terms of software applications available for the platform now and in the near future, it’s not contest: The iPhone. The major critique about that is not the phone, but the exclusive contract with AT&T which may or may not end this summer.
In terms of integrating it with your work environment and typing messages on it, a lot of people still prefer Blackberrys though I have no problem with a virtual keyboard. I’m also hearing about people really liking the screen and the navigation application on Google’s Nexus One, which has the most modern version of the Google OS platform (Android) right now. I have yet to try that one.
Thanks, I found one page that said I should get a Go phone

A modern version. Only they expanded the role of the Mad Hatter a lot because Burton has a man crush on Depp. I liked the artistry a lot, and the music/sound, but I was never that much into the story. Maybe Burton should have used some more real set design like in Beetlejuice, but 3D with green-screens is cheaper so that’s the way the studio probably wanted it.

Draft Express describes his rebounding as " bafflingly poor." That paired with Dante’s ability to guard forwards of all shapes and sizes makes me like the inferno a little more for the Blazers.

lastnight I moved the hands on our living room clock forward two hours because I wanted to make sure that the hands were in the right place.
so at 11:40 lastnight I moved the hands to 12:40 and I noticed they looked off, so then I advanced the clock so the hour hand was on the 2 (Inexplicably) and then set the minute hand to the 12, that way when I moved the clock back to the proper time the hands would be the right distance apart, follow? So in that I ended up not rotating the analog clock back the proper amount and only moved it back to the 1:40 position therefore ending up with a clock that was advanced two hours instead of one!!

Capitols just scored 3 goals in 3 minutes against Chi-blackhawks without Ovie to tie the game in the 3rd.
"What people need to know is that those pictures were taken a year and a half ago, and I've grown since then." - Greg Oden
this is ridiculous
"Last year during our stretch run, Andrew [Bynum] wasn’t there ‘cause of injury, so Pau got a lot more touches," Bryant told Yahoo! Sports. "And this year, we’ve got to kind of split the difference between those two. Now, any of those guys can have a big night. Andrew had one the other night. Lamar [Odom] can have a big night. And Pau can have a big night.
Who should be sacrificing touches?
Gasol: 57% TS, 20 USG
Bynum: 60% TS, 20 USG
Bryant: 54% TS, 32! USG
I’d split the touches between Bryant and Gasol, and give Bynum the lion’s share (not that it’s that simple, I understand). But to write a column like that and just assume that Bryant is their best player and “the man” because he’s a prick who wants to shoot all the time is pretty ridiculous too.
I owe you an explanation as to why I'm a hater
Everyone associated with college hoops (I guess I just mean the media) is so sanctimonious about its “purity” and the “effort,” and doing it for the “name on the front of the shirt.” They also love the idea that the coach is a “maker of men.” But when a systemic problem threatens this purity narrative they’ve built up, the NCAA does absolutely nothing to clean it up.
Examples: paying players to get an unfair competitive advantage (seen at Duke, UMass, USC, Memphis)
Point shaving (seen most recently at Boston College and Northwestern)
Academic fraud (Florida State and Minnesota spring to mind)
CBS is complicit in this, because they don’t want to pressure the NCAA, because it would tarnish the purity of their product to shine a spotlight on it.
I also hate NCAA announcers, because they constantly throw players under the bus while talking about how coaches are doing a great job (the “maker of men” narrative).
The single elimination format is really exciting, but the sanctimony surrounding it bugs me, particularly when media blowhards talk about the college product being better. It’s not. Watch some NBA.

Its more exciting than the NBA at times
Because the talent is not anywhere close to the NBA and so it is more unpredictable.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I agree with this
The first couple rounds are also great just for the sheer amount of basketball, and all the upsets (I’m not that much of a hater, having hoops at 9:30 AM is great).
I will say the impact of the upsets on the tournament is probably a bit overstated. It seems that at the very top end, the best teams have such a talent advantage they can overcome the unpredictability. I would say since Syracuse won in 2003, every NCAA champion has been either the most talented or second most talented team in the country. Kansas was second, and they were only able to beat #1 Memphis because Memphis couldn’t hit a FT to save their lives.
Seniors matter too
If you look at the last two freshman-led teams to make it to the finals, both lost (Ohio State and Memphis) while all four teams in the final four last year were senior heavy.

Only because the bubble this year sucks
Normally an RPI of 60 would be NIT-worthy at best but because the bubble is so weak..
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
explain this
Why are the teams that are 39-55 or so not as good a candidates this year as in years past? Why would 60 get you in this year?
I’m genuinely curious.
It has to do with wins over top teams
Wins over the RPI top 100 are in scarce supply among bubble teams.
None of them played top non-conference schedules (which for example saved Zona’s ass last year, their SOS was #1 while Virginia Tech’s this year is #338).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
So Minny’s wins over MSU and Purdue help overcome their garbage RPI?
Isn’t RPI a terrible way to rate teams anyway though? If you can be rated 40th in a system while not beating anyone else in the top 100, that seems to say more about the system than about the teams.
Yes but is a pretty far rating tool
And it can’t leave a good impression on the committee that you got wacked by 30 in the final.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Also has to do with late season slides
The committee weights your last ten games more heavily than earlier games for obvious reasons.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Better than it used to be
At least it weights home, road, neutral differently.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Also crap losses
All of the bubble teams have losses (often home losses) against the bottom of their league).

Evan Turner is good, but nbadraft.net epic fails by comparing him to roy
Turner turns the ball over a lot more.
"B-Roy is the best shooting guard I have played against"
-Ron Artest
I don't think so.
Turner is a rebounding machine. 9.1 boards at 6-7? I’d say he’s more a mixture of Durant/JJohnson/McGrady than Roy. Probably closest to JJ.
"B-Roy is the best shooting guard I have played against"
-Ron Artest
Or maybe Tmac from 2000-2005, when he averaged around 27/6.5 boards/5.5 ast
"B-Roy is the best shooting guard I have played against"
-Ron Artest
T-Mac was on a whole ’nother special level of basketball when he was good.
Just ‘cause Turner is a better rebounder and turns it over doesn’t mean Roy’s a bad comparison, it means he’s not a perfect comparison.
Actually, I'm going to about face.
I jumped the gun because I was focused on his turnover and rebounding numbers. But looking at his efficiency shooting the ball, he is more like Roy than I originally thought.
"B-Roy is the best shooting guard I have played against"
-Ron Artest
In the same way Iverson was awesome...
he took a lot of shots. I think it says a lot that his career fgp is around 42%.
"B-Roy is the best shooting guard I have played against"
-Ron Artest
From a quick glance at Turner’s numbers, it looks like the longball is not a huge part of his game, like it is for Durant/T-Mac.
I think you're spot on in that assessment.
Turner’s shooting less than 35 from college 3, which means he’s no Danny Granger at this point in his career.
"B-Roy is the best shooting guard I have played against"
-Ron Artest

as to JJ
Johnson is a legitimate superstar who does a number of things well, but he’s not without his flaws. He has a slow first step, so he doesn’t penetrate (and, consequently, get to the line) as much as some other comparable scorers.
The best part of Turner’s game is in his ability to attack the basket. He can get there in a number of ways, whether it’s beating his man off the dribble, or curling tightly off a screen. This great knack for slashing to the basket has translated to an extraordinary 7.8 free throw attempts per 40 pace adjusted – and there is still room to grow.
So I’d say he’s closer to Roy, in that he can draw fouls and score at the cup.
Roy's developed a heck of a midrange game though.
And Roy’s ability to score at the cup and draw fouls is based on his deceptive quickness. When people talk about first step quickness, they’re talking about LeBron/Wade type slashing. Roy relies on being able to lull the defender to sleep.
The ability of Turner to curl tightly of a pick is very much in line with what they say about Roy, and I already addressed earlier that i may have erred in saying Turner is nothing like Roy.

we aren’t catching either most likely, but OKC is more likely to fall to us. Thus, we would rather OKC lose.

well I can't say much for the name
but now you and ATF have cats that adopted you which is great news
"In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him."
We now have 2 cats that have adopted us. The second one is a gigantic
neutered male, at least 15 or so pounds. Unfortunately, they hate each other and we have to keep them separated. We’ve been trying for about 2 months to socialize them but so far to no avail. Do you have any ideas?
#52
give them time
and interact with both. As they see you interacting with the other, they may warm up. It’s sometimes hard for cats that have no common background to learn to get along, especially if they’ve been abandoned or had to fight to survive on their own. I wouldn’t do anything to force the issue, like keep them in the same locked room.
I’m curious what you named the fatty…. Mintaka?
"In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him."
We call him Moochie and he answers to it. Because he's nuetered
we aren’t sure he doesn’t have another home in the area. We keep meaning to put a collar on him with a note asking if he’s a stray but haven’t gotten around to it yet. We can’t even let them in the same room together so they’re in separate parts of the house. Every couple of days we put them both in cat carriers and they have a face off so they can at least see each other but it hasn’t worked yet after about 2 months.

I am in Portland, DirecTV subscriber. I haven’t had an NBATV game blacked out this year except when it’s the Blazers. Does LPBB black out NBATV?

That and Larry Miller’s constant “global brand” talk when he doesn’t even take care of the team’s backyard.

WE DID IT
Batum is amazing.
I blinked at LMA somehow had 7 rebounds in 2 minutes, ODEN STYLE.
Dre vs Calderon makes me wish Toronto was in the West.
Even when the lead shrunk I wasn’t worried. Toronto is GARBAGE, yo!
#52
Bosh is such a co-star that it hurts my balls!
I watch a lot of Raptors games… even his best games, he isn’t dominating it in that Lebron/Wade/whoever way, the way we’ve seen Roy do, where he’s either scoring or making the play to get the score. He’s a great PF but he’s a star co-star and if he can get with the right REAL star, he’d be suh-weet.
If he goes to a new team and is still the main guy on the team, I don’t know if it’ll be much different than his success in Toronto.
#52
Did you see that Barea, Johnson, and Gay said they want to play for NY. Oh please please please make it happen dear basketball god.
Hahaha that would be awesome
If the stupid Knicks get the Jazz an awesome draft pick, they deserve it.

Sure, prolly
But it’d be a mediocre team forever.
They ain’t working for this capspace for a decade just to get Rudy Gay and Joe Johnson. They’d spin it as a success, but they’d never do much in the playoffs even if they make it every year.
If they don’t get a superstar signing, they need draft picks. But, they trade away their picks all the damn time. It’s Lebron/Wade or bust.
#52
they could still get amare
i believe earlier in the year he made a comment like he wanted to go to new york a team featuring amare and joe johnson would be solid( not world beater but a top 5 team in the east)

by HD on Mar 14, 2010 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions
It should be a decent team, I agree
They’d still need a PG, a playoff worthy SF, if they can keep David Lee than him and Amare is a brutally bad defensive frontline… the Knicks have a lot of holes, even if they get Lebron.
At least if they get Lebron, they’d get other guys wanting to be there. Johnson and Amare doesn’t get anyone’s panties willing to deal with the NYC media as the team struggles to win 48 games.
#52
I heard they gave such a sweet deal to Houston
Because they already have an agreement with LeBron and Bosh to come to NY.
Yeah, but how many titles do you win with that, if we assume that at least 2 out of Wade/LeBron/Bosh stay in the East, plus Howard? 0! And guards over 30 not named Jordan pretty much all decline rather quickly and are not worth max money.
I don’t give a crap about what happens to the Knicks next year and absolutely do not think that they will win a title.
I’m just sayin they’ll be decent with that lineup and possibly exciting to watch.
If we win a title, I promise not to hate on anyone associated with the Blazers for 1 full season - jksnake99
really?
it’ll just go wherever LeBron goes…..
unless Wade and Bosh end up together in NY with Lee

b) If LeBron teams up with one of Bosh/Amare/Wade/Rose, and where
c) If OKC uses its cap space
d) What Dallas does with the EDSEC
e) Which pick Utah gets
…
Could all have a big influence on if, when and how many titles Portland can hope to win
any titles go through Lebron after this year, in my opinion. doesn’t matter where he ends up.
Portland is well positioned as they are. They are all the same players so only if a couple of the big ones team up. and remember, whatever teams they leave get weaker. the more things change the more they stay the same.

Cavs got some good role players though
They don’t get a lot of credit, but Big Z, Mo Williams, Verajao, Delonte… those are some really good role players.
It’s mostly Lebron, but not all Lebron. He needs some good players with him to benefit from his unselfish playmaking.
He’s the most dominant force in the NBA right now, but even he needs a good team.
#52
the Cavs are like 1-8 without him or something…..
that team is crap if he’s not there. i don’t deny they are good role players, but he clearly carries that whole team. i think it is alllll lebron on Cleveland. Jamison is the best player they’ve had there outside of Lebron since he’s been there.

I think the chances that two big free agents land on the same team are high
Not necessarily in NY, but that it happens somewhere.
If it happens in the east
The only thing it really impacts is our chance to win a championship. Obviously, that’s a big deal but we have to worry about making the WCF first.

i think 2 might end up together as well. but i think Wade/LeBron and Bosh is the only one that would matter. two of the “smaller” big free agents (like Johnson, Amare, Boozer, etc) won’t matter if they team up.

I think the Knicks shot themselves in the foot by trading away more valuable draft picks
Lebron has to have a major NY fetish to sign with that team, because they suuuuuuuck.
I ain’t really worried about anyone in the East, no matter what happens. I’ll worry about it once we’re healthy and showing we’re a team that is set to make the Finals.

I care about where the big guys go..
But all that we can do about it is hope that Portland gets lucky a couple of times.

I do care
I just mean, I ain’t gonna tear what’s left of my hair out worrying about some future finals matchup.
We “control” how good we can be if we’re healthy and getting everyone used to each other. We gotta hope our bad luck evens out, and we achieve dominance at the right time.
I know it never hurts to plan ahead for a future Finals matchup, but so much will change this offseason, and from then till when we’re counting on being in the Finals, that it’ll be tough to worry too much about what happens.

I mean obviously
I don’t want Lebron and Bosh and Wade to end up together, but I doubt it happens. And Lebron and Wade prolly wouldn’t be as awesome as it sounds. Bosh and either one of them would be rad, but it also depends on who else they got.
This will be a super crazy offseason.

They're the fun way to finish the oop
Riskier of course, but Howard does it so much it’s prolly as “risky” as a normal oop for him.
LMA used to try to rebound dunk with one hand, and he finished it every once in a while, but he usually CLANGED the miss out to the 3 point line.

I agree
if Dante is struggling, then fine— more Juwan. And if Juwan is killin’, that’s fine— more Juwan.
But I’d rather not PLAN to have lots of Juwan. Dante has shown he can hit the jumper and play better, more active defense.
If Juwan is playing well, I certainly won’t complain or haggle over a few minutes.

So, Hedo prolly played one of his better games for the season
Still wasn’t worth what he paid. He really seems superfluous for them. He isn’t handling the ball much, like he did for Orlando, and he just sorta duplicates what they already had if they’re just using him as a tall shooter.
Bad bad signing for Colangelo… but that’s what he does!
#52
Though the Raptors stunk at the wings last year, and now they have Hedo and Demar there
The guy who really botched it for me was Dumars. That team doesn’t seem to go anywhere, and there is no real plan for the future anymore with the kind of “assets” they have. The team is not particularly young. The team is not particularly prone to winning a title ever. Bad mediocrity.
Dumars messed up double bad
Unless, once again, I am wrong in believing it was possible for him to let the cap space ride till 2010. SUCH bad, mediocre signings… guys just clearly not part of a title contending team in Gordon and Charlie V. Such weird signings…

Did you know LeBron only filed to change his number because 23 is not available in Chicago?
I read it on the Interwebs, so it must be true.
And it's something he HAD to do now, to prepare for signing with the Bulls
If he tried to sign with them this offseason but hadn’t changed his number yet, the league wouldn’t allow him to go there.
#52
Exactly. Or at least he would lose a lot in jersey sales until the change request is through.
Players under contract in Chicago: Rose, Hinrich, Deng, Noah, Johnson, Gibson. $31.8 million. It could happen.
Also I think both the Knicks and the Bulls missed out on a marketing opportunity to ask Jerome James to wear #23
That would have been one of the top 15 jerseys for the last 2 years.
Could Blogabull find a way to hate on LeBron if he signed there?

Observations from attending the game tonight
It seemed like everyone that mattered had a great game tonight. I couldn’t believe my eyes when Aldridge had 10/7 with 5 minutes to go in the first quarter. Batum only missed one shot all game, Roy got his quietly, and Andre Miller was incredible. He’s such an amazing improvement over Blake. Even Rudy had a really great stretch in the second quarter. I don’t remember seeing Webster in there. Camby finally got the minutes he deserves, and made the most of them, looking especially good on offense (for once). The hot hand wasn’t taken out at the wrong time, the refs were irrelevant…
Just a great game. Toronto was shooting the lights out, but we stayed ahead through offensive boards and ridiculous three point shooting. I can’t think of a single complaint I had with the game.
Actually, I take that back. You know the dog races they have at half time? Every time, there’s a fat brown dog that screws up the race for the Portland Tailblazers. They need to fire that stupid dog. Also, there were no junior blazer dancers tonight, which was a plus.

Rudy showed some serious passing skills in the first half, and one of his better drives this season that unfortunately didn't result in a score
I also really like Miller’s ability to post up and drive. Two things Blake really couldn’t do.
Rudy played how I hoped he would all year
Using his really-nice passing ability to set others up, get momentum in our favor, while making 3’s and hustling to loose balls.
Being a back-breaker.

Aldridge played an inspired 6 minutes of basketball to start the game
racking up 10 and 7, IIRC, but wasn’t really noticeable afterward.
Roy deferred to the rest of the squad because they were hitting everything.
Rudy was playing how we dream he plays every game. Active hands on defense, great shooting and passing on offense and just a general knack for being in the right place at the right time.
Batum continues to show off his improved shooting ability. He needs 30 minutes every game.
The defense was nearly nonexistent for most the game.
Nate used an 8 man rotation which I"d like to see more. Many people are suggesting Dante as the 8th man instead of Howard, but I’m on the fence.
The Raps made a push in the 4th and brought a double digit lead down to 2 before the Blazers put the game away late.

it goes like this
We get the Mavs in the 1st round and we all know the Mavs are a paper tiger. We beat them.
The Suns play the Nuggets in the 2-7 matchup and get hot, running the Nugs off the floor. Then, the Suns go ice cold against us in the 2nd round. BOOM! Conference finals against the Fakers. The Blazers are playing loose and free at this point while LA has struggled to get past a crafty Spurs team and a tough Jazz team. Then LA remembers they can’t handle the Blazers in the Rose Garden. Kobe goes into selfish mode trying to win the game on his own, but Batum does just enough to keep it from happening.
I’m not sure how we win the NBA finals against the Cavs or Magic, but you get the idea.

I don't like it very much.
Temple is the #3 defensive team in the country, and they specialize in defending the 3 which happens to be what Cornell relies on. Its a game Cornell can win, but I wouldn’t put their chances at more than 25%.
I don’t like the Wisconsin matchup either. Wisconsin is a top 10 team per KenPom, and always defends like crazy.
Plain and simple, Cornell is highly overrated right now— not by the committee (Cornell should have been an 11 IMO) but by the media. Cornell could go to the sweet 16, but I don’t recommend picking it unless your pool gives upset bonus points.
I am very glad Cornell didn’t draw Michigan St, Maryland or Wisconsin (in the 1st round), and Butler would have been bad also, but Vandy, Purdue w/o Hummer, T A&M, Pitt, Xavier, Tennessee and Marquette would all have been better draws IMO.

Florida is not nearly as good as either.

I agree
If you are looking for a 12/5 upset, I like Utah St’s chances better than Cornell’s.

And losing to Duke.
I think Purdue is really weak.

I picked Baylor out of that region
Not because I really like them but because it was about the last team standing and they’re good, I guess.

Some good teams
Tennessee, Michigan State, Florida State. They had only one real bad loss, to S. Alabama.

Who ironically they beat in their first round game their first total year
I picked S. Alabama to pull the upset, I really did. I bombed that year.

I like them a lot
I am thinking very seriously about them for the final 4 or even the final 2. Picking them to win it all’s not a bad idea either— everyone and their mom will pick Kansas.
My most successful bracket ever was 2 years ago where everyone had Memphis or UNC and I won some money with Kansas.

I won one year
Because I was solid enough throughout the rest of the bracket and I correctly picked Duke over Zona in the final.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I dunno about the bracket. I was terrific one and two years ago, but last year I just sucked. My confidence is in the tank.
A lot of it is luck
Last year I was 5th in my main pool, which included about 190 entries (I run one for people I have known growing up/through college, etc.) but the year before i was around 150th.

That works
The woman who won my pool last year picked based on schools her friends attended or liked. She got 148 out of 169 possible points, an incredible score and the highest I’ve ever seen (I use 1-2-4-8-12-16 and add 1 point for the play-in to encourage early entries).

Of the 50 or so entries already submitted in my main pool (I have been running this for so long people submit early, these are the three most popular championship games:
Kansas beats Kentucky 11
Kansas beats West Virginia 8 (my pick)
Syracuse beats Kentucky 5

Well, Little Rice will know his fate early
Their game is in the first group Thursday.
Bit surprised they threw Butler-UTEP and Texas A&M-Utah State into the west coast gap game slots (since the west coast doesn’t start playing til after the first group of games finishes we play a “gap game” between the two main CBS telecasts).

I haven't had a chance to try it out.
My understanding is that it’s pretty decent, and is similar to getting online at a hotel. I presume you put in your credit card when you connect to their wireless, but I’m not sure. It will be overpriced though, I presume $10-15 for the (6 hour?) flight. But costs varies from airline to airline, so it’s worth a check.
You should check with your airline. Some airlines have it, some don’t, and some only have it for a small number of flights.
so I may or may not be traveling to Jacksonville for the tourney
any advice on (relatively) cheap last minute flights?

Even JetBlue is expensive for flights this week
I’m guessing because all the tourney flights have already been booked. No idea if there are cheap flights left.
yeah, my buddy and I find out tomorrow if we got tickets through the Cornell lottery
We are already having some buyers remorse due to the cost of all these flights. We are half hoping (ok, a little more than half)we don’t get tickets.

Perhaps look for a city a little distance away and rent a car to drive the rest of the way?
That could open up airports from Orlando to, if you can handle the drive, Miami.

SFO to FLL looked promising at a quick glance.
At least, compared to some of the other pricing. I didn’t check ATL or anything.
SF is for whatever reason the most expensive place on the west coast to fly out of
I have people there and it would be nice but the tix are almost $200 more than La or PDX

It is the air traffic
and the fog makes it much worse.
SFO is a hassle for Air traffic control and pilots.
Hubby needs to go to Florida for a family situation but the tickets
are so expensive right now that he has to wait for a couple of weeks until they’re reasonable again. By the end of March they’ll be 2/3 cheaper than they are now. Crazy
