This drawer is empty.

 

Church bells will be ringing in another nine hours.

 

The NFL is playing, week seven.

 

This is our day to rest, bless us, because we have worked so hard.

 

Enjoy this, it is what it is. It can be whatever you want to make of it but don’t try to hard, because it will be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be

 

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

 

When all the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer

Let it be

For though they may be parted there is

Still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer

Let it be

 

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

there will be an answer

Let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

 

Yeah, let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

 

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

 

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow

Let it be

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me

There will be no sorrow

Let it be

 

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be no sorrow

Let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

This is my Big concern.

We have been Sooo Good.

Please don't stop. I don't think we will but a lil' Dylan Blues til' "Draft Day".

 

. The Team's Gonna Break

Baby, If it keep on tradin', the team gonna break
If it keep on tradin', the team gonna break
Everybody saying Draft Day only Stern could make

 

Well, I worked on the Line Up, Mama, both night and day
I worked on the Line Up, Mama, both night and day
I got to the Starters and I threw the Uniforms away

 
I paid my time and now I'm good as new,
I paid my time and now I'm as good as new.
They can't take me back unless I want 'em to

If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Some of these people gonna strip you of all they can take

 

 

I can't stop here I ain't ready to unload
I can't stop here I ain't ready to unload
Riches and salvation can be waiting behind the next bend in the road

I picked you up from the lottery and this is the thanks I get
I picked you up from the lottery and this is the thanks I get
You say you want me to quit ya, I told ya, 'No, not just yet.

Well, I look in your eyes, I see nobody other than me
I look in your eyes, I see nobody other than me
I see all that I am and all I hope to be

If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Some of these people don't know which road to take

 

When I'm with you, I forget I was ever blue
When I'm with you, I forget I was ever blue
Without you there's no meaning in anything I do

Some Teams on the road carryin' everything that they own
Some Teams on the road carryin' everything they own
Some Teams got barely enough skin to cover their bones

Put on your PTB clothes, mama, put on your evening dress
Put on your PTB clothes, mama, put on your evening dress
Few more years of hard work, then there'll be a 1,000 years of happiness

If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
I tried to get you to love me, but I won't repeat that mistake

 

If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Plenty of cheap stuff out there and still around that you take

I woke up this morning, Barbosa and eggs in my bed
I woke up this morning, Barbosa and eggs in my bed
I ain't got enough room to even raise my head

Come back, baby, say we never more will part
Come back, baby, say we never more will part
Don't be a stranger with no brain or heart

If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Some people still sleepin', some people are wide awake

This is where I’ll be hanging during the Los Angeles L*kers versus San Antonio Spurs “Playoffs, Western Conference Finals” Games. You know whom to root for. I always relate this to being in a “Sports Bars” in San Antonio, Texas. I am a Portland Trail Blazer Fan. I watch what I say (not wanting to get into a fight). I join in with the fun and avoid the bitchin’. Ime is playin’ and I support him as an Ex-PTB. Hate of the L*kers is a universal given. I go there and just want to have fun. Thought I would let you know I will be there, cause it is always nice to see a familiar face in a far off place. SBN’s sister site “Game Day Thread” is here.

The Western Conference Semi- Finals (who will play against LAL)

 

NOH (2) vs. SAS (3)

If you are watching this Game, join in this open thread.

I’ll be watching at home on TNT (Charles, EJ & The Jet)

 

5 PM – Pre-Game. 5:30 PM Game Time

 

I welcome you to join in with your pre-Game, during the Game and Post Game comments. I expect All Out Ballin’ in this Playoff “Death Match”. I enjoy the comments from my fellow Portland Trail Blazer Fans.

"I just wanna have fun"

Missin' My "Game Day threads".

This is My "Play Offs" Baby!

I lUVS iT!

i gots One Eye Open and I'm lookin'  'round, I luvs me Pro Bball. We gots TV back in 58 (probably before that) but I didn't partake. I saw Russell & "The Stilt". That was the PR. That was all remember (good job, I missed AH LOT). 

I'm A Portland Trail Blazer Fan. First & Foremost but the Game Goes On. BE is my "Cheers". Where I have felt comfortable, know "The Peeps" and feel I belong, accepted as one of "The Crowd".

But The Game Goes On

This is the best Ballin" O' the Season. This is where it is at! Darn it, we ain't playin' but I 'spect we will be soon, Very soon.

I have been to the “Pickaxe “n Roll” ‘n “Money Ball$” “Game Day Open Threads”. Just listenin’ (Gawd how they feel ‘bout their Plyahs ‘N Coachin’, “Lordy but How they could “Ball” ) The SBN has made this easy, Way Cool..

40 Games ‘n 40 Nights!!!! Amazin’. I’m there but not in shape. I have followed most but not all of this schedule. There is much more (I ‘spect Much Better to come).  As It narrows down. I would like to sit ‘round  ‘n Talk wit Ma BEders, ‘bout what we see ‘n what we stink, ‘Bout theses “Play Off” ‘ The Finals that will come.

Been Postin’ w/Mavs ‘n Nuggies but now they are gone. This was like bein’ in their Town. Stopping in wit your PTB Jersey : B-Cap Watcnin’ the Game w/The Home Crowd. I roots for the good “n interestin’ things that I see. Never wantin’ to get pounded, just comment on what I see (in Their Homer Way).

Now. I ask a question. How do we handle this Season’s Games? It is Far from O’er. The Champ has yet to be crowned. Many Games to be played. I would like to see A Game Day Open Thread. Through the rest O’  “The Play Off’, for our real time comments on what we see and feel. Whether this be carried forward by “Fan Post” or Dave.

 

Any thuoughts.

Luv to sit 'round durin' the "Play Offs Games" 'n hear your comments. They are far from o'er. 

Blue “I’m ripe on my second “BoilerMaker” BooYay

Click there blog. An easy addition and get in their Game. 35 post (I've made four in a row). Lookin' for help here, you BEdgers. Let's get involved in these "NBA Play Offs". We most likely will be in 'em next year!.

Join in on the Game Day postin' Just do it. Now. I enjoy the additional entertainment of chattin' with our other fans.

The Game is now entering the fourth quarter. The score is;

 

Dallas 72?

 

NO 76

 

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Listen to an Old Man Sing.

I once held the ball in my arms,
Felt, that it would always stay.
But I was cruel,
I treated it like a fool,
I threw it all away.

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I must have been mad,
I never knew what I had,
Until I threw it all

Ball is all there is, it makes the world go 'round,
Ball and only Ball, it can't be denied.
No matter what you think about it
You just won't be able to do without it.
Take a tip from one who's tried.

So if you find someone that gives you the Ball!
Take it to your heart, don't let it stray,
For one thing that's certain,
You will surely be a-hurtin',
If you throw it all away.

Don't feel too bad New Jersey Nets, you were beaten by a Division leading, Western Conference Team. To be expected. See you later. Better come harder than that, a lot harder. We will be more rested and better prepared the next time.

The Boston Celtics Lose! Good teams don't lose three in a row. Wednesday night you better bring it because I believe the Portland rail Blazers will. It's all on you Boston to prove you're a Great Team. If we win, the East Coast Press will pro claim us World Beaters. GO BLAZERS!

Things are really falling our way tonight. We have gotten help from the other teams in a position to do so. Go Bucks, Go Kings, Go PooperSonics!

What a night.

This I would like to see!

Come on over Tony. TO at TE.

  GO BEAVS!

The Rook Comes Back (GO), Freeland, Ruuuudddddyyy, PK, TGreen & Draft Picks/Trades

What will the effect be on our present streaking Team? Will it make us regroup, learning to play together? Is it the missing Link to going Deep in the Play Offs? Will we make the play offs this year? How can we compare if we don't know where we are going to end up this year? These are just a few of the Peripheral questions inherit in this poll. Only punch a chade if you fully understand what you're voting for. If there are NO VOTES, I will learn from this. Thank you.

Back to the Here and Now. Out of Conference Games; Go Heat, Go Bulls.

A three game lead over the Rocks, would be more relish for the PTB.

Had some stew tonight made from leftover 7 bone roast. Carrots, taters, peas, corn & CABBAGE. Yeah Man. Lookin' forward to pork chops, smashed mouth poataoes & creamed corn tomorrow but I gots to take it "One Meal at a Time". Enjoy the taste, go back `n have a lil' mo', later. Yeah Baby.

"One Game at a Time", also. "The Boys are Back in Town" it's a "Packed House" for "Home Comin' Night" at the "Garden". BooYay! This is one of those rare feasts to savor.
Days of prep `n practice. "Revenge is a Factor". What has been brewed up, for us to enjoy?

Can't wait for Wednesday night. "Blazers Don't Fail Me Now".

No mention of the WedSlinger. Like he's an unknown, cool.

Predicts Houston, as the best team in the NBA (you listenin' Fatty).

Sunday's startin' line up at San Antonio (according to Wheels & a lot others, who will remain unmentioned);

JJ1
Broy
Web
LMA
Pryz

No big surprises here, for BE fans.

The game in CO (that's Central Oregon, not Colorado);

Don't expect to see Broy, or JJones playin'. Probally restin' up LMA, Pryz & JJ1. That leaves a lot of time for "Goodness, Raef, TO, Web, Blake, El Mago & Tgreen.
This will be another interesting game.

Of coarse, let the Refs Gamble in the Casinos, No Sport Betz. Booze is allowed, apparently!

I love Rice, big passionate Man-Hug!

"Soon It Will Be Ours"

I'll be listenin' to the Game, tomorrow night.

...32 24 23 23 1/4 by 1/4 scorin', just fadin'

In the second half, we faded as the game progressed. I don't think it was due to conditioning.

What's happin' here???

The game turned at 1/2 time. We had the lead. Then at the start of the 2nd half, the Nugs seemed to load up and we didn't respond.

Enjoyed the fix 8^)

They played against LOTTO ROMA and beat 'em.

Jason Kapono looks to be a big addition to this team. Bosh and Bargnani looked good. I think they will be a force in the East.

We can beat 'em, w/good D and shootin' the ball.

The Celtics beat 'em... http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/7304966?FSO2&ATT=MA Garnett had a BIG game!

...a member of the Portland Trail Blazer Family, is in intensive care, at Desert Regional Medical Center, Palm Springs, CA. The last I have read.

http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/

I don't know how his recovery is progressing at this time.

I want to, as a new and maybe eccentric member of BE, to make sure we are aware of our families needs. So I want to start a Dairy with sincere, meditation, prayers and thoughts, for a speedy and full recovery, for Bob.

Nate was influenced by Bob in his successful career and thought enough about his Coach, to ask for his help with the PTBs. Bob is one of our assistant Coaches and scouts for us. I hope for his further help in our future. Bob is my age, I pray for him and his families well being.

Please keep me updated on Coaches health. I have heard no new news for the last couple of days.  

Gatherin' at the Trail head,

Getting' ready to Blaze the 2007 - 2008 Trail.

They are coming, next week, at Roy's request. Be here or be square 8^)

Whom and how many, let's count `em.

Brandon Roy    -    Gotta be here, you're the one who called them in. (230 lbs, 6'6"). I think he wants
 to dominate the NBA SG position. Go Roy.

Greg Oden    -    Getting ready & on the way. http://www.yardbarker.com/users/gregoden

Steve Blake, James Jones, Channing Frye,  - here, here, here. May be more, I've lost track.

Darius Miles    -    Here & workin' on his own agenda.

LaMarcus Aldridge, Tauren Green, Josh McRoberts,    -    expected.

That's half our roster & I feel there will be more. This is so exciting. I expect coverage ("the Boys are Back in Town"). I feel we're Dr. Frankenstein, creating a Monster with nutrition & training.

Give me the roll call through next week, please.

Aldridge

Blake

Fernandez

Frye

Green

Jack

Jones

Koponen

LaFrentz

McRoberts

Miles

Oden

Outlaw

Przybilla

Rodriguez

Roy

Schenscher (I suspect he is here)

Webster

Coach is gone (Team USA). Roy's the Man. Let's get it on. Step by step, one day at a time. We will be HUGE.
