On the ground in Vegas

I've seen that movie, one of you ends up locked on the roof while the rest of us steal a tiger from Mike Tyson.

More like @Strenuus gives us all reacharounds and we fall asleep afterwards.

I was going to ask what could go wrong!?

Me too, with a focus on summer league not just r&r.

Well.... There will be some Craps and Cards in there also.

You don't want to be the one getting the reach around and you sure won't want to fall asleep if you do?

@Strenuus is a pro at reacharounds. You definitely want one of his specialties. He goes the extra mile.

Look if we're being honest this is the most likely outcome.

Day 2 for me and my son at Summer League.

It’s 111 deg F outside. My son wouldn’t slow down for a picture.

Its 3;45 pm now. We’re ready for the Blazer game at 8 pm!

Let’s go (summer league) Blazers!!

I love that you guys go together!

 

[THE HCP]

A layover from Vegas to Portland?

Where?

I’ll take Delta there and you have to go thru SLC.

My dad got season tix in 1974. I grew up going to the games with him. Great bonding experience.

When my dad passed away in 2002, I inherited the tix. Started bringing my son as soon as he could say ‘basketball’. I brought him to his first Vegas Summer League about 5 years ago. I learned then that he had a stronger butt than me. He could easily watch 3 games back to back and still want more.

Now that he’s old enough to drink and gamble, this annual trip is getting more and more expensive! I wouldn’t miss it for the world though. Good times.

We should all pool for a couple of group suites and crash summerleague. S2 in da house!!!

There aren't suites at Summer League. It's way more laid back than that. You pay general admission and can sit wherever you want for 4 or 5 straight games and you can come and go.

I think he means a hotel suite.

Indeed.

My brother just told me he played blackjack with Bonzi Wells.

But did he have sex with him?

Started this tournament in Vegas. Ending it in Ann Arbor. To be honest there is plenty going on here as well.

Does your wife know about this Ann person?

Named after the wives. Yeah she's good with that.

….They have pills that can help this situation.
Just sayin.

So you inherited the seat and are able to move closer over time? Awesome!

Yep! My dad had upper section end-zone seats in the Memorial Coliseum. When the Blazers moved to the Rose Garden, I relocated to section 321, front row of the upper section, more along the side. Best of the cheap seats.

Each year they allow season ticket holders to relocate if they chose by priority number based on how long you’ve had season tickets. There are less than 50 season ticket holders with a higher priority number than what we have. When my son inherits these tickets from me, he’ll probably move court side!

I like it here. Michigan gets a bad rap from Detroit.

Northern Michigan (traverse city and north) is some of the most beautiful country around. Stunning views. I was hoping to move there someday but it's also very expensive there now lol.

Truly changes for four seasons. Winters can be brutal.

I took a road trip up through Michigan in early to mid April of '19. Still brutally cold in the Detroit area, while the UP was still covered in deep snow, with blizzard warnings all the way. Fortunately I kept it in my rear view mirror for the most part but didn't dodge it completely. I don't think Spring starts till at least June in Michigan. That said, it is still a very fun place to visit. Lots to see and do. I highly recommend Marquette regardless of the time of year. And be sure to try the pasties while you're there......
