We Play the Fakers 4 Times

by Rick_D on Aug 11, 2010 5:05 PM PDT

Three of those games are the 2nd of Back -to-Backs for us...All three we have to travel. (Twice to LA)

The only other game, we play against them has us coming off of a whole week break.

The Fakers already seem to have very few Back-to-Backs, and the Trail Blazers already have far more travel than every other team.

Does it seem to you like the NBA gives them (The Fakers) every edge against us?

Considering how well we did in back-to-backs last year

I’m fine with it. We’ll show ’em how real teams play while tired.

Greg Oden ate my baby. Need money for body-building training so that I may take my revenge.

Im pretty sure we travel more than every team every year

Just based on our location in the Northwest. I don’t think that can be helped.

the L*kers should be saying

Oh NO! We’ve got 4 games against the Blazers! Hide the woman and children!

When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

"Woman"?

At first I assumed that was a typo, and that you meant to type “women.” But then I realized that you were obviously referring to Vujacic.

they take away the comedic kneeslappers that can come after reflection

Who cares. Its just four times a year well beat the snot out of the defending champs.

and the “Only team that has a chance at beating the heat.”. Bring it on!

Compensation for Prior Complications

Last Year the Blazers had bad injuries.
This year we have no road trips over 4 games.
Last year the Los Angeles Kobes couldn’t dominate us.
This year they get the advantageous schedule.

Don't over think it.
Give Roy the ball.

2 years ago when Bynum pulled Greg down in the season opener and injured him ala what he did this year in the finals to Perkins. Arizas hit on Rudy resulted in back surgery and a player never being the same and then Artest just happened to bang knees with Roy and tear his miniscus. Just another reason to loathe the L@ker$
