Lillard is taller than Leonard now?

 

[THE HCP]

Coach is 8'3"?

 

[KingSpeed]

Price

Of course, thanks.

Lillard is taller than Leonard now?

Yeah, is Leonard on his knees?

...Hack-a-Howard!!! #RipCity

Wish the Lakers had won tonight. They are going to show up at the RG pumped!

Wish the Lakers had won tonight. They are going to show up at the RG pumped!

...or tired and sore! Kobe's little foot hurts. Howard's back hurts. Ron Artest's mind hurts. Gasol's pinkie hurts. And Nash's everything hurts! The ancient Lakers don't stand a chance, even if Kobe decides to shoot 80 times! The Lakers won't be winning until sometime into November, book it!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Bad news for Kobe and company - it's raining in Portland! 0-2 here they come!

 

[illmatic99]

In downtown Seattle tonight. Where's a good place to watch this?

Man, check out the red blazers on the Mikes. Paul Revere would be going nuts.

 

[julius]

I don't have a good feeling about this game. I think LA wins.

 

[Blazinaway]

I know how some of you guys get on here and just want you to be realistic with your expectations.

it's opening night old man, and it's against the Lakers, if ya can't get a little fired up you're dead

oregonlive/blazers ‏@blazersblog You would've thought we were in LA with the amount of cheering as the Lakers took the court to warm up.

 

[julius]

So glad this isn't like last year, it was so boring last year without the games until December.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Nice opening film. Getting pumped!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

My god Rice is old. God bless him, though, cause I want him to be with us forever.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Damn Meyers Leonard is ripped in that Blazers commercial.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Gollum with a wig on votes no on 79.

 

[julius]

I don't like how the Blazers have had Meyers Leonard and Damian say they want to be in Portland for their whole careers. Not saying that would be a bad thing, but it's just....provincial sounding to me.

Kind of like a cheap pop.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A 'red out' it is not.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I'm sure in more cultivated markets like LA, they would have poohed poohed Kobe saying he's a Laker for life during his rookie year?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

A 'red out' it is not.

It was when all the seats were empty.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

So glad I'm not catching laker fan cooties at the game tonight. TV is the place to be!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I miss the Motown band Larry Miller would always book for opening night.

 

[PapaG]

"Forward Ronnie Price!"

Ummm...

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Fucking Laker fans in the crowd. There should be a hunting license available for that.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Kevin Pelton ‏@kpelton That mixture of 75% boos and 25% raucous cheers for Kobe lets me know I'm in the right place. Let's NBA.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hope nobody gets injured going down the stairs!

A 'red out' it is not.

I don't think, outside of having the shirts on the seats, it was a realistic thing.

The team is not really good at promoting stuff like this for some reason.
