Will Schonely's call of tonight's game be online?

Does anyone know if the audio for the game is going to be online so people out of the Oregon area can hear Schonely? I know they haven't been doing it for the otherpreseason games, but I thought the Blazers might make a change because of the significance of who's calling the game.

NBA.com usually has a link to the audio, and it doesn't, which makes me think like I might be SOL.

Confused about the standings

Tiny by OutrageousJ on Comment 6 comments

I had a question about how the NBA standings are done for the playoffs... I thought I knew the answer, but clearly not.

Right now, if you look at the NBA.com standings for the Western conference, Portland is fourth, despite being tied for the 7th best record in the conference.

I understand that we'd move up because we're a division leader, but why 4th?  Shouldn't it either be 3rd, or 7th?

Watching the Celtics game in DC?

Tiny by OutrageousJ on Comment 3 comments

As a Blazer fan banished to our nation's capital at the moment I don't get to watch too many games, but I'm so pumped about the Blazers/Celtics matchup that I was going to make the extra effort to watch the game tonight.

Is anyone else on here in Washington, DC?  Anyone going out to watch the game?

I was thinking of going to Buffalo Billards in Dupont, because I believe they have League Pass and show almost all of the games, but didn't know if there was a better bar where Blazer fans congregated.

Any suggestions appreciated...

A Proposal to Improve the NBA

Tiny by OutrageousJ on Comment 16 comments

A few ideas I had to improve the NBA, trying to address what I see are two problems: the lack of atmosphere in some arenas, and the lack of caring by some players and fans who don't have a chance to win a title in a given year.
