Thanks Sly!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

So, only the home games will be televised in Portland? Hmm...

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

I'm wondering what day fan fest will be this year, because I would like to know what are the latest dance moves the kids are doing.

Don't want to fly a camera guy out to the game.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Remember when pre-season games were held in Eugene and Corvallis? I miss those days ...

And Bend.

It would be great if the Blazers games outside of Portland again.

HCP can't travel because of his day job as the giant talking pumpkin at the Sauvie Island Corn Maze.

Man. I try to listen in to what teens are saying and listening to as I try to stay relevant, but I haven't got a clue. I just want one of them to come up to me and say, "You're over 30, bro. Stop trying so hard!"

I remember seeing the guys play in Redmond I stole a t shirt flying towards some kids and rubbed it in their faces that I had superior vertical leap. Then I gave them the t shirt cause it was a small and had a giant wells Fargo logo. Instant karma I caught an xl next time out

And Spokane even! Although that might have been a Sonics "home" preseason game, oops! But the Blazers were at least playing in it and I got to see it.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Why don't the Blazers play one preseason game a year in Seattle? Is there a rule against it? Can't imagine there is. Maybe an unwritten rule no-no though.

I remember when they played at OIT in Klamath Falls; Mark Bryant punched a guy out while my grandparents were in attendance.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I wonder if they scheduled the two LA games around Lillard's studio time recording a new EP.

Yep. I saw the Blazers play the Mugsy Bogues Kendall Gill Hornets in Eugene. I remember seeing Duckworth out on the street after the game. It was the first Blazers game I ever went to.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, unlike the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Utah Jazz (or even the Golden State Warriors), they are the Portland Trail Blazers...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I saw the Blazers (with a rookie Jermaine O'Neal) beat the Jordan Bulls in the Memphis Pyramid. That was when the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver.

Yep. Marketing opportunity lost.

Passed Clyde in the hallway. My son was in awe. Saw rookie Bonzie. He was pretty good. Got to see Charles Barkley from the front row under the basket. He was shooting a free throw and a guy yelled: "You're a hot dog Barkley!". He grinned and said: "That's what they pay me for."

Probably in between that and a photo shoot for Sneaker World Magazine.

At least he didn't spit on him.

Whoa, that happened in 1990, they really need to have a preseason game down here again.

Because fuck Seattle. That's why.

 

[BlazerWookee]

They misspelled "Rose Garden."

I was like a year old. We were supposed to get a Jail Blazer to come to the school in elementary school, but it never happened, Jerome Kersey was the only Blazer related person that even remembered we exist down here...

I was a freshman in High School.

Should be a 7 game series vs the Spurs.
