Well personally, I can't wait to BEAT L.A. on Tuesday. One of my best friends is a hardcore Laker fan, and we've always had a Blazer-Laker rivalry going on. What better way could there be to start off the NBA season than to beat the Fakers?

Anybody have big plans for watching the game?:ghoti:
 
Oh hell ya!! I'm flying home to Oregon from the Bahamas Nov 4th and I just bought two tickets to Rockets on the 6th finally NOT in the 300 section... i'm SOOO pumped!!!! :ghoti::ghoti::ghoti:
 
It would be great to see it happen, but I don't expect anything. I think we ought to hope for the best, but keep our expectations somewhat realistic; there's a good chance we open the season 0-5.
 
No way we lose our home opener to the Spurs without Manu..NO WAY!!!!
 
Tuesday is my Birthday and I have about 6 Blazer Fans and myself going out to a sports bar here in Phoenix. I'm So Stoked! Never been more excited for the season to start. And Saturday I have tickets for Blazers v Suns

Nice! Though, You really could just have posted your avitar as your answer. It says it all..
 
Going to the game. I hate going to Blazers Road games in hostile arenas...just bad to be in an environment where everyone's yelling at you.

Especially Los Angeles.

Can't wait though. Should be epic.

I agree, I went to a game in Utah one time. I'm not from Portland but I went with three guys who are, the Jazz fans were talking crap the whole game. Mighty mouse hit a three to tie the game and send it into overtime. We were going nuts. Eventually the Jazz won on some stupid call (Okur hit a three and got fouled). Jazz fans followed us all the way to the car talking trash.

Yeah. Might bring a jacket to wear on the way out so I don't get into it with Laker fans either way the game ends. Sucks that I'm going by myself since I was able to buy a single ticket, which doesn't help.

Same reason I don't watch laker games at bars in LA or try not to. I get into too much shit.

Sweet another Blazer fan in Arizona, I live in Chandler. My boss is a Laker fan, so there will be years of trash talking between us. I think they get the upper hand on us this year, but starting next year I get the last laugh. Of course if Kobe goes down with an injury they very quickly become just an average team

There are quite a bit of Laker fans out here, but they dont annoy me as much as the Suns fans. The Suns fans all talk like they are entitled to a championship, I hate the Suns more than the Lakers since I moved out here from Portland. I'm so toked for this season to start though. I have a group of six wearing Blazers jersey's for the season opener on Tuesday, we are out in Glendale, which is a drive from Chandler, but the more the merrier.

I hope you get a Blazers win for your bday!!
 
I'll be watching the opener at home on tv, but I'll be at the home opener!
 
I'm taking work off, going to my buddy's place (with the giant hi-def flat screen) and we're gonna get loaded and watch the game and cheer our little lungs out.

Oh, sports.

I agree except I don't think there is a good chance we start 0-5, but there is a chance. I've been keepin' my expectations to 47-51 wins.
 
Unfortunately I have to wait. The game is not until tomorrow. :drumroll:

However I am like a puppy wetting the floor, I am so excited!!! The team can lose the next four but not this one.

I was out in Glendale this past march. First trip to AZ. Nice place. My wife loved the March weather. I absolutely cannot wait until tomorrow night. I was telling someone on Friday that I just wanted to get the weekend over with, to get to Tuesday. He thought I was crazy.
 
Oh, super stoked. Gunna be watching at home on the HDTV :)

Really? Which game is the W? Minnesota? I'm sure you don't want them to lose this season, but they will. We all need to realize this.
 
Hell ya!! Time for Oden to send Bynum crying like a little baby by slammin jammin the ball through his face and into the hoop. Time for Aldridge to send Gasol off for some more donuts to stuff in his soft face. Time for Batum to block any junk that Odom throws back into the rafters. Time for Blake to send Fisher fishing, as in retired somewhere in Utah or something. time for Roy to tell Kobe- it's our time now!

Let's get Ripped!!!!!
 
I'll be lonely watching the game here in ND (glad me and anonymous gambler got the dakotas covered). I'm trying to get in good with this girl so maybe I'll invite her down to my floor to watch the game. Can't wait.

Happy birthday by the way nate4prez

If your avatar has taught us anything, it's that sports don't necessarily bring out the best in us. Maybe invite her over for "When Harry Met Sally" or something tonight instead. Maybe "Love and Basketball," which is the only sports-related film my wife has ever enjoyed.

Not sure? Imagine the look of utter rage on your face the first time Kobe charges into Oden and Greg gets blown for the foul. You really want to expose her to that face?

I myself have a carefully concealed Blazers bald spot. I never would've risked my combover flying up on a first date.
 
I am so exited to get the season started I came on this thread knowing it would be this sad. I wish I could watch the opener. But I will have to be satisfied with the box score and knowing GO put Bynum in his place. Here is to The Blazers first win!!!
