Event Ask Me (Almost) Anything As We Fly To Los Angeles

[BlayZa]

1. Any touching or great stories you've heard recently about Jerome Kersey since his passing that you weren't aware of before?

2. Do you know any other Damon Stoudamire fans? We're a dying breed

3. In regards to teams incorporating new players into their culture - how does the Blazers organisation and players go about this? anything different to other teams?

4. As far as league contacts and personalities, who are your main sources of lulz as far as twitter etc

5. Favorite sport themed movie of all time?

Thanks for answering (if you do...)!

I'm picking up some new swag from the Blazers to giveaway in the forum.

The question that gets the most likes that is answered by Casey will receive a prize.

In that case....

Casey, will you punch slypokerdog?

Please, ill give you some blazer swag!

Casey, will you punch slypokerdog?

Please, ill give you some blazer swag!

You know... that just might win.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Casey, is it cool being one of the first beat writers that doesnt feel the need to hate on the team for drama ratings?

 

[rasheedfan2005]

You know... that just might win.

hahahaha <3

 

[Duvalier]

Casey...do you happen to know if any players on the team ever read this forum? Thanks

 

[KingSpeed]

Which players are gay?

I guess I'd also ask "Are there any gay players who are not out?" since you obviously can't out them yourself.

Who were Claver's best friends? What do they say he's doing? He must be still living in Portland. His agent didn't like his being sent to the D-League as a rookie, so I doubt Claver will now try that.

He signed with a team in Russia

 

[riverman]

Casey...What nickname do the Blazers use for Arron Afflalo if any?

 

[riverman]

Casey, last serason Mo Williams had the team out for dinners and was widely reputed to be a guy who got the team to bond off the court. Who's that guy this season?

 

[riverman]

Casey, have the folks at blazers.com pretty much scrapped video podcasts for good? Don't see much on the site anymore where we used to have Sarah Hecht, Adam Bjornson, Orlando Williams, yourself, etc...now it seems pretty much just Courtside

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Casey,

Can you please answer my initial question re: the integration of AA and Ger, and no others? That single answer would essentially make me the prize winner by default.

God bless and goodnight.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Casey, does the HCP mow your lawn as well or just players/denny's

 

[Darkwebs]

Casey, in your opinion, which Blazer player is the most introverted? And which is the most extroverted? Thanks in advance!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So... I guess we pissed him off?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So... I guess we pissed him off?

Not at all, it's happening this afternoon.

It's even on the Blazers home page.

http://www.nba.com/blazers/

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Sheesh, I can't plan that far ahead.

If you could take just one person from this board on a Blazers road trip with you, who would it be and why? (Hint: SlyPokerDog is really good at carrying luggage).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Casey, once again Wojnarowski at Yahoo sports crushed it during this year's NBA trade deadline. He even broke the news on the Afflalo and Gee trade. Where is does he get news like that? Agents? Blazers front office? How does he routinely scoop everyone?

 

[Denny Crane]

Do any of the players know about this site and do they read and maybe even post (anonymously) ?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Casey, who was your favorite local reporter covering the Blazers when you were growing up? Who made you want to become a sports reporter?

 

[blue9]

Do any of the players/coaches collect art? Or other things* of interest? Who, and what do they collect?

*I think we're already all aware of Lopez and his comics.

 

[Bill Lomica]

Does Coach Stotts ever tell stories about his CBA days with Coach Karl?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

So... I guess we pissed him off?

What this "we" Rasta? It was one person. Don't lump me in with that bitter fool!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Assistant most likely to have his own job soon?

Do you agree with ESPN's rating of the Blazers' analytics department (why/why not)?

How many reps did the Blazers send to the Sloan Conference, and who was the "highest-ranking"?

Which other media guys would you hook up out of professional courtesy, and who's burned their bridges with you?

 

[Denny Crane]

It's on guys.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

How did the last practice go? The new guys integrating better after a good practice?

 

[magnifier661]

Wow we are plugged on the front page of the blazer site! How awesome is that?!?!?!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

^That's how we roll.

Celebs in our own minds.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Casey, you went from the Oregonian to a NBA Team, you seem to be following in the footsteps of David Kahn. When can we expect you to be the GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves?
