Which mistake are you talking about? 'Planning a date with a college gf' or 'Watching the all star game'?

The mistake of planning my valentines day date with my college gf (when I was attending osu and like 21) around being able to watch the all star game.

She knew what I was doing and it didn't go over very well

date homeless girls...they're just glad to be indoors and fed, then you can drop them off anywhere after the game

At least I got to watch Rudy Fernandez in the dunk contest!

 

[PDXFonz]

Guess I get to go to this one tonight!

 

[stampedehero]

Be with the wife V day Watch highlights the next

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The Cavs outlet passes are insane. Love really is a phenomenal passer.

They don't have to be homeless for that.

touche' I actually ripped off the "drop them off anywhere" from the movie Repo Man...Harry Dean Stanton version...not the new one

Well, barfo tells me if you shave their head, you won't get a 2nd date.

Most of them have cardboard and sharpies so you can make cool signs for the game

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I hope Dillard gives Harden the Best D of his life... Wait.

I half expect mags to log on and call me a socialist for promoting homeless dating

500 record tonight! Most excited I've ever been about a 500 record!

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow that's a lot of people not interested in all star weekend. You guys aren't going to watch CJ in the skills comp?

All-Star has slowly been sliding down hill but I'm still a sucker for it...all of it. Especially the shooting stars!

Shooting Stars has been eliminated from All Star Weekend. Sorry.

The Blazers going into the ASB at .500 SHOULD be a huge topic of discussion for the national talking heads, given the expectations of the team was zero at the beginning of the year, but alas, even though Portland as a city is the darling metropolis of the day in this country, as an NBA town we are the red-headed stepchild. I doubt the team gets barely a handful of mentions that they even exist outside of CJ's skills competition. It's fucking sickening, too, because if the Lakers, the Bulls, the Knicks, the Celtics, any of the darlings of the media Gods were in the same position, they'd be plastered all over fucking ESPN and TNT.

If we win a playoff series this May, we'll get plastered all over fucking ESPN and TNT. Gotta earn it. There are 30 teams in this league. If you want to stick out, you gotta do something special.

Does anybody have a clutchfans account?

I do but they won't let me post.

I see us winning big tonight. We've had a massive lead in both games we've played them. The key is holding on to it. We've been good at that lately.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Let's go Blazers! Beat these assholes!

I checked the first page. Is Vonleh still out? Or is he on the bench tonight? It only says that he is "probable".

 

[riverman]

The key is to peak at the right time and we're on track to do just that with this roster...you can really see chemistry developing when they mix up the lineup..does anyone know if Vonleh is on for this game? I'm assuming he's not

Sorry JF...you posted quicker than I did

 

[riverman]

Given what happened when the Grizz tried to let Gasol play...probably good to rest Vonleh last game before the break

 

[Jade Falcon]

Sorry JF...you posted quicker than I did

lol, it's alright bro, no worries. But yeah, I assume Vonleh is out tonight, but I would like to see him on the bench of Stotts doesn't start him (assuming he's healthy enough to play). Just to slowly work him back into the rotation, in case he's rusty.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I agree. If we lose this game, it's not the end of the world, and I like what I see from Harkless thus far in Vonleh's absence.

 

[riverman]

I'm really excited about what I think Vonleh will be like a year from now. I can see why Stotts has him in at tipoff to get him used to playing against the A teams of the league..

 

[riverman]

I really hope we see a 4th qtr of Montero, Alexander, Connaughton and Kaman and they all score in double figures

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Big game - it's almost as if we decide who we are tonight.

 

[riverman]

I hope the Moda Center is ROARING tonight!

 

[Jade Falcon]

We're on a roll, and the Rockets are going to be exhausted after that hard game last night against GS. Should be an easy win tonight.

I'm also looking forward to watching Meyers frustrate the Houston Bigs tonight. Let's see if he can get under Dwight's skin like he did with Gasol.

And I never thought I'd be praising Meyers, lol. But as critical of him as I am, I also give credit when due: he's playing very well right now. Still makes a lot of stupid mistakes that make me wanna slap him, but he's better than he was, say, a month ago.

I just wish he was more consistent.

 

[riverman]

Man I checked in at the 3rd qtr of the Denver game and Will had 9pts...just checked again and Denver won ..Will 20/5/2 leading all scorers...he's become their closer..gotta love the Thrill!
