I have had difficulty connecting to SBN tonight. Including my beloved Blazers Edge.

I lost this Site Connection just before the Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics Game.

I have been able to connect sporadically during the second half of the LA L*ker vs. Denver Nuggets Game.

This is my first chance to Log In and now make a "Fan Post". I am curious to see how this goes. I expect there will be a statement as to what has happened. In the mean time I will mosey about and see how things are.

Hmmm, Editor Help button down below! Here I go.

Dear Mr. Luftman,

The end of this great Portland Trail Blazer season brings a time of reflection. The first thing that comes to mind is the wonderful experience of watching the Trail Blazer games. You have been a wonderful conduit to this experience.

            Your Pre-Game introductions have set the tone for my viewing experience. Your recaps of the previous games bring me up to date, adding to the excitement of what is to come. This tantalizes me and makes it so hard to wait for the game to begin.

            I iniquitously await the Half time break. I am in anticipation of your understanding of what has taken place before my eyes. Your wise understanding and explanations of what I have seen, lead me to a better understanding of this great game of Professional Basketball.

            My enjoyment is enhanced and better understood with your expert guidance. I always look forward to your Post-Game recaps, finding this the most rewarding experience of the night.

            I am looking forward again, to next year. I hope that CSN will be available to me on the Oregon coast. I have only been able to indulge in this enhanced experience during the few KGW broadcasts in my area. Eagerly awaiting the 2008 – 2009 season with you.

Respectively,

Elizabeth Lowblow, Your friend on the Bay

A debt owed. I'm drunk nuff to write. This must satisfy Timbo. I dun wanna drink no mo' PERIOD

CC#2, The Lizard's Team meet & Walk Through

Lizzy Lowblow — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 03:59:54 -0000

anne, faith, JT, Lenny. It is Game Day Baby!

The Jersey Contest Game 67 Portland vs Mini Timidwolfs. it will count (still haven't read "The Darn Rules"). The Lizards need to play in it and Play like it counts (cause it does). The Lizards are familiar with the new format. The Lizards know who is dependable to enter the JC, every Team Mate.
Play it like it is. This is our future and the future of our children, possibly the Human Race. The original "Caricature" may become an early rendition of a "Master Artist", priceless in future generations. The original will be preserved, while replicas are waved in The Rose Garden on special occasions. This is what YOU are playing for, don't forget it and treat it as so.
Get your "Game Face" On.
This Game is a hard one to predict. They all are Hard. Get used to it and bring your "A Game".
We need to talk strategy as a Team. Do we all predict the same winner? These are crucial points and could devastate or reward us, big time. Do we cover our behinds, with a few opposing picks? I don't think so. We go all out for the WIN! We either Win or Die, together. So is Lizard Culture. All for One and One for All."
This Game is a Homers "Dream Come True". No way The Trail Blazers lose. I just can't see it (Help me if I'm Blind). Strategy wise the other CC Teams could go OppO but the odds are slim, very, very slim. One GM is goin' for a Jersey and is locked in, Team be cursed.

We need to get the scores, whogits the most Blazer Turnovers, whitchamits greater, whichada Blazers pts 1st `n da 4th and how many does Broy outscore Foye bies nailed.

Please post your Lizard thoughts. Let's "Get It On".

CC, The Lizards Beta Test & Team meet

Lizzy Lowblow — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 20:13:12 -0000

annetheFan, faith, JTDuck22, Lenny,. It is Game Day Baby!

The Jersey Contest is in "Beta Form". I don't know if it will count or not (still haven't read "The Darn Rules"). The Lizards need to play in it and Play like it counts (cause it may). The Lizards need to be familiar with the new format. The Lizards need to know who is dependable to enter the JC, at least. The new format has not let me see who has entered the contest or how they have predicted the results! If one of the Team knows how to do this, let your GM know.

Play it like it is. This is our future and the future of our children, possibly the Human Race. The original "Caricature" may become an early rendition of a "Master Artist", priceless in future generations. The original will be preserved, while replicas are waved in The Rose Garden on special occasions. This is what YOU are playing for, don't forget it and treat it as so.

Get your "Game Face" On. Here is mine;

The Other Basketball Games I go to (OT, NO ODE)

Lizzy Lowblow — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 05:49:07 -0000

It's "Basketball Season", Baby!

I get to watch my Daughter play Jr. High (The Lions) Ball once or twice a week. She won her First Games this week (both away games at Nestucca & St. Helens). I saw her Team get into double figures, for the first time, last week.

They play six minute Quarters and a 3 - 2 zone. The game lasts about an hour. She runs up and down the court as fast as she can, with the same Big Smile on her face, that she had when she got her new BMX and road it home through Down Town Tillamook, a couple Birthdays ago.

Turnovers abound. About half the time they head back the other way around half court only to have the ball reclaimed and they race to the other end of the court. Where at about the top of the key, control of the ball is lost again. Then they face the same obstacles going in the other direction. This can go on for more than a minute, sometimes two, of their short quarters.

Finally they will settle into position at one end of the court. Paired up like square dancers as their Coaches have instructed them. My Daughter's Team has a dribble first and always until you can shoot PG. Who can always get her shot, open or not, from anywhere.

Once the shot goes up, the other phase of the Game starts to take shape. At best, I have seen about 10% of the shots actually Go in the Hoop! The ten girls will be drawn closer together under the rim, until they become a rugby like scrum! Then the ball will eventually appear from this melee! Sometimes airborne with the appearance of a shot attempt. The odds of it hitting net, backboard, coming back into the scrum or going over the end line, are about equal. The basketball will usually end up rolling out of bounds (with three to four girls chasing it), a three second violation will be called (on one whole Team or the other) or a foul will be called on the one standing nearest to the girls entangled in what appears to be a wrestling match on the floor of the Court.

A rebound is a Highlight. A score happens about once a quarter for the losing Team and as much as two times a quarter for the winning Team in a "Blow Out" Game (her Team lost 17 to 10 in the last Game I attended).

My Daughter has a big lump on the right side of her forehead (She called to come home from practice early that day, because she felt a little queasy) Slightly swollen sprained fingers on her right hand, a sore left ankle, knee and elbow. I have bags of blue ice in our freezer and many rolls of stretchy bandages to apply the ice with.

I listen to the Blazers, thru ear buds, when they have played early on the East Coast, at her Games. She still has that goofy smile of hers on her face as she runs up and down the court. I always think she's the fastest runner but she tells me she isn't.
