First let me say....HELLO!!! Glad this lockout seems to be over! Glad to be able to talk some basketball!

I saw this on facebook and thought you all would like to know:

Old School Monday on NBA TV features Bill Walton & the Portland Trail Blazers.

12:30pm/et - Nuggets/Trail Blazers, 1977 Western Conference Semifinals - Game 3. Forward Maurice Lucas had 27 points, and Center Bill Walton added 26.

2pm/et - Sixers/Blazers, 1977 NBA Finals - Game 3. Bill Walton had 20 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 blocks to power Portland to victory.

4pm/et - Sixers/Blazers, 1977 NBA Finals - Game 6. Julius Erving scored 40 points, but Bill Walton and "Blazermania" were too much as Portland won its first NBA Championship.

On another personal note. I was so hurtin for some basketball I bought some cheap USC bball tickets on Groupon a couple of weeks ago. I had wanted to go to their new basketball facilities anyways.

Look who else was jonesing for some basketball! (Lakers owner, Dr. Buss)

He had a young woman on his side of course but he had great seats for searching for new talent....and not basketball players.

Look forward to the season and telling all of you why youre wrong about whatever I disagree with!

Game 3 of the Denver series was a grind out win, would rather see Game 6.

Game 3 of the Philly series wasn't the blowout win Game 4 was, but the Blazers definately took back control of the Finals that night.

Meh, I've seen Game 6 of the Philly series more times than I can count.

Thanks, Riz.

I haven't watched since it was live, but after losing the first two, the whole country thought the 76ers would sweep. Walton had been talked into cutting his hair very short for the national exposure. I should watch it again.
