Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Worth a Thousand Words

A couple of pics came our way this week.

First of all Tweener sends us this courtside view of the infamous "rookie dance" from the Fan Fest yesterday.  That's the Blazer Broadcast Crew looking on.

Second, long-time reader Nep4Life has moved out of the states for a while and to Amsterdam.  But he's keeping the faith, as this picture demonstrates.  That's his brother in the photo with him and yes, those are permanent.  Yet another reason why Paul Allen can't move the team.

Aw man...
I can't believe I missed the rooks doing the Soulja Boy dance! I was stuck at work. Thank gawd for YouTube!

Here's a question
If Greg Oden doesn't play any games at all this year does he still count as a rookie next season for purposes of rookie hazing?

We need to get Casey on this.

I was there
and Greg was getting his groove on as much as he could from the bench.  I bet he would want to be hazed he was having so much fun.

GO dancing
There's a video of GO dancing @ youtube (sorry, I don't have the link).  It's hilarious.  He's truly a funny guy, and would probably love to be hazed next year.

GO will be a Rook
Next season.

Disabilty will make him eligible for the Dancin'  & Halloween Costumes of choice, next year. Just like the "Rookie o' the Year" award.

Come to think of it
GO should do the "Halloween Custome of Senior Players Choice". This year and next. One suggestiom I have is "The Jolly Green Giant" Ho, Ho, Ho.

This is OT
But not worth a full diary. Anyone have ESPN insider?

I'm curious what the Blazers article titled "No Misgivings" is all about.

I love sports cliches..."Just take it one game at a time. Stay focused. Just give 110 percent. We executed down the stretch."

I have Insider
But I feel if I share that information, I am breaking a sacred trust with ESPN.

Ha, I kid.  It was just quotes from Paul Allen from that Kerry Eggers story about no regrets drafting Oden.

Thanks, Tom.
It's good to know an "insider" :)

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.
