Season Tix On The Way

According to an e-mail I got from Blazers Tickets Services, season ticket holders should be receiving their season tickets in the mail the week of Monday 9/21/09... Just putting the word out there to all of you to make sure you are aware and to see how many of you have already received yor tickets in the mail. If for some reason everyone has gotten their tickets, and you haven't, then maybe you should give a call to your friendly season ticket rep.

GO BLAZERS!

I’ve long thought the deal that made the most sense for both teams with Hinrich was with Portland. Their GM is a Kansas guy like Hinrich and Steve Blake would be an ideal and cheaper backup combo guard. But the talk is the Trail Blazers will sign the 76ers Andre Miller as a free agent. Then they’ll use their extra pieces, perhaps including Blake, to make a deal for a banger up front. Then the 76ers would need a point guard, and that could be where Bibby goes if the 76ers lose Miller, which seems likely as the free agent boycotted the team’s final meetings.

Houston fans yelling the "N" word at Martell Webster

Houston fans yelling the "N" word at Martell Webster

Wow... Houston fans sure lack any class. I understand the "Portland Sucks" chants. I mean, during the course of the season, we in Portland chanted "Kobe Sucks" and "Garnett Sucks" as well as chanting "Lets Go Blazers" so loud that you couldn't hear the Rockets introductions in any of the playoff games.

But, really? You gotta get all racial nasty on a guy who didn't even dress for the game. That's low.

I remember a certain incident when a fan in Orlando was shouting racial slurs at Dikembe Mutumbo. That guy was booted from the arena and his season tickets were revoked. I call for the same thing to happen to those classless fans in Houston who felt the need to do this.

HELP! NEED VIDEO FEED!

david1978pdx — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:35:58 -0000

David here writing from Zaragoza, Spain again. Game 6 tonight will be on TV here in Spain, but not on a channel I can get here in the hotel. Also, since the game is being broadcast here, I can't even get it with NBA League Pass International.

Please! Can anyone post a link here to an online video feed so I can watch the game tonight? If I don't get to watch the game it will be worse than the withdrawls I had when I quit smoking.

Portlander in Spain

Hello to everyone back home in Portland! Went along with my wife on a business trip to Zaragoza, Spain... And, here I am at 04:00 crawling out of bed and turning on the TV on while trying no to wake my wife, so I can watch the game.

Watching the RG from all the way over here is really wierd... Especially, since I have season tickets and I would have been at the game tonight if it were not for this trip. Hope you are all enjoying Mike and Mike. All I've got are two Spanish homers who all they care about it Rudy and Serg. LOL!
