Fear The Beard Link

I know this is already posted in the fanshots, but I am really curious if anyone on the Bedge is already starting to grow a beard in lieu of Playoffs, Roy, et al. 

Ben! Dave! Are you growing a beard? What about Canzano? JQ? Dwight Jaynes? or even the all mighty Casey? There must be a movement for the Oregonian to beard up!

@hossticles and me (@nateinaloha) are confirmed beard-growers...

ARE YOU BEARDING IT???

 Dear fellow Blazersedgers,

I've noticed that dave made quite a few t-shirts last year and I have all of the blazersedge.com editions and I do sport them quite often. But that's SO last year! I'm asking for you to rec this post unless you think you can use and re-use and re-hash the 07-08 t-shirts til they look tie-died from the 70's with holes on them. I've seen some t-shirts ideas and they are included below.

SMITE-A-DWIGHT!  credit goes to timbo and pxilpooshr

"RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!" credit goes to us fans chanting. ( you know it, you have been chanting it!!! I was there to chant it on the first pre-season game!!!)

"ole' OLE' ole' OLE' " (same credit goes to the fans after the 1st preseason game...)

"I have a mancrush on Rudy and BOOM BOOM and T-Rex and Manchild and..."

"spanish connecion: a verb describing the magician act of passing between sergio to rudy resulting in horrorific gaps and groans from the opponent's bench and starting RUDY chants and even possibly a MVP chant from the crowd..."

"Rudy>MJ" credit goes to myemic23

and the list goes on...

This is to follow up the FanPost of mines from last week. Feel free to read!

For those who want to meet other Bedgers locally, sorry tom, you are out there... :( i plan to host a party at a grill/bar/restaurants with tv's for blazersedge.com.

I live out in beaverton/hillsboro and i am open to any bar/grill/restaurants  in the area. you are free to brainstorm for the west side, downtown portland, the east side, and gresham area. Few options are being considered are Buffalo wild wings in streets of tanasbourne (in nw beaverton, and it will be jammed, for sure!) sports look in hillsboro. That's on top of my head. If you are an owner of a bar/grill and would like to host a Blazersedge.com event, I'm for it!

I recently had a conversation with Fatty, yes fatty, after the celt's won their new banner. we talked about him choosing lakers to win it all and i understood why he chose the lakers to win it all back when gasol was traded to the lakers. Im not going to induldge into that now. What really popped in our conversation is this:

tbrewer618: oden is ours dude for at least 5 years nate because of
r.adelman i love coach rick and i'm going to be rooting very hard for
terry porter in phoenix this season.
me: Me too! Terry porter has all of my wishes for him
me: But we will win. Lol.
me: i love my 2 guys duckworth,kersey,and maybe even uncle
cliffy will be on his staff nate
tbrewer618: pdx=57 wins nate
me: Whoa whoa
me: This year?
me: 57?
tbrewer618: 08-09 trail blazers=57-25 nate book it !!
me: Oh man!
tbrewer618: will win the n.west division nate get your t-shirts now
dude.
me: Whooaaaa
me: Should blazersedge.com know about this?
tbrewer618: t.porter will be next season's d.rivers he'll get it done in
the valley of the sun.yeah let them know i'm guaranteeing it nate book
it !!!!!!!!
me: Haha!
tbrewer618: tell the chatroom i said pdx=57 wins and n.west divison
champions t-shirts now book it !!!!!

i hope fatty is right. after all, his last two picks of houston and lakers has been wrong...but on may 22nd of 2007, he was right about getting oden. so lets pray hard that he is right!!!

That was an awesome game last night! Missed the game? Couldn't make it? You have one more chance! I am holding twenty (20) seats to section 317, Row F and G for $43 each. (Face value) I'm not a reseller, I realized that I won't make the game because I'm flying to orlando in the same day the game is occuring. I would have kept those 20 seats for family and friends only but ended up can't with the said reason. Fatty himself will be sitting in Section 317, Row E, seats 1 and 2 with his buddy. I don't know about you, but this game is not a game to miss! Contact me at naterocks4u at yahoo dot com.

Yes, i know its long, but its classic Fatty himself! He sat courtside behind the blazers bench and was seen on tv!! (near to the end of the 1st quarter, wearing a black drexler throwback jersey)

hey dave i'm going to give you and
all the blazers fans of blazersedge
a real close up view from being 2
rows behind the blazers bench.
1.st of all let me thank the nj.nets
fans and the meadowlands arena
for their class and hospitality.great
people and great fans what little
nets fans they are.now to what i
observed from behind the blazers
bench,as for the x's*o's goes nate
and his staff especially b.bayno
and monty williams are excellent
at attention to detail.in the 2.nd
period when sergio singlehandily
almost let the nets back in the game
coach monty and bayno told nate
to pull sergio so the crowd*nets
would not get the momentum of
the game back.the next time sergio
was in the game was with 2:55 sec
left which is garbage time.now gang
that's called coaching.as for the game
the blazers did'nt even break a sweat.
seriously it was like a business trip
to the blazers.as for the player's
mannerism's-m.webster-focused
as i'ved ever seen a young player.
j.jack*trout as you guys call him
2 of the nicest pros i'ved ever seen.
when i called outlaw t.o. during
warmups i said great 4.pt play
yesterday(toronto)he smiled at me
and said thanks "big guy".j.jack
on the other hand had his lady
friend bothering him during
warmup"s.i said j.j. dont worry
be happy i held up my camera
and he smiled for me with the
thumbs up sign and i took the
snapshot.very classy by j.jack.
l.aldridge class act and is the
most impressive blazer i'ved seen
in person since the 1990 drexler
group.everybody leaving that arena
left tonight knowing who l.aldridge is.
j.jones is definately the veteran leader
of ths team.this group of blazers takes
his cue of leadership on how to act
like a pro.and these young blazers
definately takes his cue.best pick
up the blazers made since trading
kiki in 89 for a 1.st and a second in
90="uncle cliffy".g.oden very aloof
and as huge as "mount hood".but boy
do the plaers love*respect him.during
warmups every young blazer except
martell,hugged and whispered nice
things to g.o.webster is also very aloof
but focused and mature and astout
for his age great for him.as for pryzbilla
and blake very seriuos pro's who the
young players really really respect
and appreciate being on the roster.
now last but not least b.roy well i"m
not going to knock him at all folks.
but he's already knows he's arrived
on the nba superstar plateu stage.
you know your now a star when the
lights are on for barrett*rice more on
those 2 charecters in a minute roy is
very accessible but when the cameras
are off see yah!!!!but you know what
though every player on this damn roster
knows who is the "franchise"of the
portland trailblazers is,it's definately
b.roy.what a great leader of men this
23 year old is the fear in the nets players
and fans eyes everytime he touched the
ball.now blazers fans add oden with
roy*aldridge and like m.rice told me
before the game things are going to
get better and better you wacth fatty.
also to all blazersedge bloggers when
i'm wrong i'm wrong.the maturity of
both outlaw*martell made me weep
last night on my way to work.as much
as b.roy&aldridge have really proven
to be franchise gems,it's the stepping
up of outlaw*martell which has really
made a difference also an healthy joel
and having blake back really makes a
huge difference trust me on that 1 folks.
all in all to wacth the youngest team in
the nba act like a veteran mature team
in front of my eyes is like being a proud
uncle wacthing your niece's*nephew's
graduate from high school on their way
to college.kudos to coach nate mcmillian
monty williams maurice lucas billy bayno
dean demoupolous and of course the great
jay jensen*bobby medina the trainers.
thank-you gentleman and you all deserve
a hefty contract extensions all of you
book it!!!!!as for the fun stuff i took pictures
with coaches m.williams*m.lucas.coach
bayno and j.jensen,j.jack with his thumbs
up,n.y.giants*usc wr-s.smith and titans*usc
rb lendell white.but my 2 favorite pictures
was with the m*m boys barrett*rice 2 of
the happiest broadcasters and who can
blame them.on a serious note m.rice
made my year when he said he remembered
me being at the rose garden during the
lean years 04-07.to coach rice "i love you man".
and as for m.barrett nothing but class personified.
to those 2 men "i love you guys"ver very sincerely
book it!!!!!i also had the pleasure to meet
transplanted oregonian's many making
the trip to boston wednsday night.an
entire bus load all blazers fans made the
my trip back to the city very very enjoyable.
it was very very surreal to say the least.
dave expect new blazersedger"s by 3/08/08.
because mostly all of us will be at that hell hole
called msg to see the blazers put isiah out
of his misery stay tuned.but last but not least
i got to have the honor to meet*talk to j.quick.
we exchanged pleasantries after the game.
we talked about how my fiance is doing we
talked about our love for the la/oc/anahiem
angels.but most importantly we talked about
this franchise.where it was between 00-06
to now and beyond.i had to hold back the tears
we talked about how great it is to be a fan
of this franchise.from p.allen to k.pricthard
to l.miller and to my man b.koldhe p.allen's
best friend and right hand man.to coach mcmillian
and his coaches bayno,williams,demoupolous,
lucas.and trainers j.jensen*b.medina and of
course the players fomr the "franchise"b.roy
and aldridge,jack,webster,outlaw,blake,sergio,
j.jones,mr.pryzbilla,green,mcroberts,frye what
an pick up he's been even you raef and last
nut not least mr.greg oden thank-you for letting
the world know we're coming back big time
book it.but i really want to thank all you guys
that's right all you blazers fans all around the
world.those serving us in iraq i hope the boys
are giving you a great show.but to all the great
fans through out the state of oregon&p.n.west.
even the new fans who're jumping aboard now
enjoy the ride.but it's the 1's who suffered through
the rough times i feel very happy for.i love you
guys and this 1 for us diehards and we all know
who you really are book it and enjoy it everyone.
p.s. hey dave when you interview m.rice ask him
about the big guy wearing the throwback drexler
jersey he'll know it's me later dave

Fatty talked with me just a few moments ago saying that he wrote a very good piece regarding the blazers last night. He told me before the game that he would be wearing a clyde drexler black throwback jersey with a solid red tee underneath it. during the near-end of the 1st quarter, going to ad break, I SAW FATTY!!! GO back to your dvr's and check him out!

He mentioned that the entire row of blazers fan was sitting next to him on courside, right behind the blazers bench. They all came from portland via college or work and he wants to give a shoutout to those fans if they do read blazersedge.com. The ride back home, he said, was filled lots of blazers fans!

he also said to me (that wasnt included in the article that he wrote to dave) "There was something very disturbing at the end of the game about 7 little boys between 7-9 years old kept heckling b.roy and i said to them go to bed its past your bedtime! the blazers fans fell on the floor laughing!"

Comment below if you want to see the piece by Fatty sent to dave!

Its about his view behind the blazers bench if anyone wanted to know what was the piece about.

Just today, i talked with fatty, yes, himself and houston rockets*book-itises.

me: Dude?
me: Tried to talk w you yesterday, didn't get a chance.
Fatty: yo whaty's up nate boy are the blazers getting mad coverage
dude except for 1 non believer in our talent
me: Yeah!
me: Who's the non-believer?
me: Charles barkley wants roy for all-star
me: And magic johnson!
Fatty: this skank name swin cash of the wnba believes like the
goofs  that the blazers have no talent except for g.oden and they'll
fall off by february.
Fatty: did you read what d.jaynes are saying that the goofs ae
putting pressure on k.pricthard to get a veteran or 2 to make the
playoffs nate.
me: That's l*kered up. Nah, we got roy for that.
me: Besides, we have the cap-space
Fatty: yeah it was in the interview dave had with him in the edge

me: Houston...they lost to denver...
Fatty: nate only 12,000 the other night dude that's pathetic.i want
guys like you*dave*damir to rip the goofs for showing no support to
roy*aldridge and the rockets need to really shake things up.
me: One thing, I can't afford tickets but I always seems to find
a way to watch every blazers game on tv.
me: And houston, they gotta live it up.
me: They are dropping out of the race fast
me: Think blazers will win or lose tonight?
Fatty: hey nate to be honest with you it's about showing the team
and young players some damn love dude.you can tell  everybody i said
f***g.oden*the damn goofs and hell yeah we'll win tonight 1.st place for
a long damn time starts tonight nate and you can tell the guys i said

Fatty:

goofs got to really get on board now or when we make the damn playoffs
they'll really be left out by guys like me,you,damir,and dave.and dave

Fatty: yeah you too nate i'll be with my girl at her rehab center
wacthing the game in her room.
me: Sweet!
Fatty: yeah i think it's cool to wacth our 1.st christmas day game
since 1999 blazers/lakers on nbc:-(
me: Oh yeah, I kinda remeber that game
me: What was the score?
me: Did blazers win?
Fatty: i know the blazers won by at least 8-10 points that day.bob
costas was suprised that the blazers can even stay on the court with the
lakers.you talk about no respect that's why i hate abc,espn,and nbc they
only think big markets only.
me: Yeah, ditto
me: What about tntx,
me: Tnt?
me: Plus their announcing is very sub-par
Fatty: it wqas it was the lakers in a scrimmage i know
barkley,ernie johnson,and doug collins loves pdx.k.smith only like
houston*detroit
Fatty: i meant to say that b.costas treated it like the lakers were
scrimmaging vs portland it was really bad.
me: He didn't do his studying
me: Ok, I'm going to start the diary
Fatty: it's just the way the nba is they like who they
like.miami,boston,cavs,lakers,rockets,knicks,
Fatty:
Fatty: nuggets,hornets they like.jazz,spurs,mavs,suns,
Fatty:
Fatty: blazers,sonics,magic,nets,wizards they don't like.either
because of the team make up or the market these teams are in,or a combo
of both.
Fatty: okay later nate.
me: Additional to that,
me: they want to make the "bigger" market happeir
me: Happier*
Fatty: to a degree but it's more of the nba media elitistism
towards who they like and don't like.
me: Oh?
me: Interesting. Well, ill add that to create some insight
Fatty: seriously it's the only sport whose like this and mlb is
sadly going this route also.
me: I bet
Fatty: it's a very big turnoff in my opinion nate.
me: Yeah, national tv channels should be neutral as possible
me: Like referees
me: But local channels vocal as possible for the team they were
hired to announce but still be positive for the opponents
me: Like the mikes
Fatty: the mikes are very*very bias towards b.toy and m.barrett's
dislike for the spurs*poppovich goes back to 1999 w.c.f.but all in all i
love both guys i really really do nate.
me: You made a list of who is going where before the season
started, do you wish to make changes now as we have gone 26 games into
the season?
me: Like, wc and ec playoff teams and who will do the wcf and
ecf and nba finals.
Fatty: no i believe that memphis would fall but i still have faith
in the rockets no doubt about it nate book it !!!!
me: ok!

Fatty also mentioned to me that he wants to have a nice party at his hotel room when he comes to town. Want to do that? leave a comment here to email fatty.

I was @ 24 hr fitness and missed the last 2 minutes of the game. I was hoping someone recorded the game and able to upload at least the last part of the game "live". Blazers won yes, I know, but I would like to see the waning moments of the game.

300 filler: I love stormy weather, they just make me all excited inside...latest storm, one of the worst...

Fatty and I have been talking and Jerseys came up. He has 122 Authentic Jerseys from different sports and the such. (that's about $27,000 worth of jerseys!!!)
He recently bought a White Alridge jersey and already has other Blazers jerseys and now looking to complete one more Jersey in his collection. He is looking for a Red Roy Jersey. And my mission is to buy one. Does anyone here know where to buy authentic jersey in person? Washington Square Mall? Streets of Tanasbourne? Lloyd Center Mall? Clackamas Town Center? Please confirm!

-Nate

we will score on an average 110 points per game, with a PER of over 20 for both Alridge and Oden.
this video says it all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLdVbDsa9lI

I realized, with this, our defense goes up. With this, our offense goes up. Exponentially. Pass to oden, he'll figure a way to the hoop, or he'll pass to the streaking alridge. with that said, should the opponents double team oden or alridge? if both, that would leave 3 blazers teammates open... YEOWWW!!! Pass to Roy, drives, dishes to either oden or alridge, etc etc...YEOWWWWW!!! drives me nuts!!!  Thus, my bold prediction of 110 pts per game, even its a spurs game...ducan or anyone in the team cant defend oden and alridge at the same time. Think of a team that could do that. None. 60 wins, guaranteed...or even 70 since no one could beat us...in two or three years. Assists will go up...turnovers would be moderate, since that's what you see on the video.

-Nate

this is just a review of the game by looking at the boxscore so take this as a grain of sugar. (kudos to dave for not watching blazers games on tv or in person! :P)

link to boxscore

from seeing this...knicks will have an hard time eliminating players. reminds me of the rap song of the 90's...Bust a bucket. They cant really bust a bucket, no one score double figures...no one could really share the ball. either that, or curry and zbo was arguing with the ref who was supposed to have the ball, zbo or curry.
"He had the ball last!"
"No ref! he dribbled the ball down court the last time and then passed the ball to marburier and demanded the ball back, but marburier marburied him back and shot the ball. Therefore i should get the ball and not him."
"Oh dont make me decide! I should eject both of you!"
[Curry holds back ZBo and zbo breaks free and runs toward the ref and suckerpunches him.]
"No, i should get the ball!"
[Ref is motionless]
"zbo! you just bopped him!"
"whoops! ill let my hoops family take care of him..."
"Aww, isnt that sweet of you zbo?" [curry smiles with warm thoughts of zbo's gf and relatives helping the ref up...]
"I guess so.." [Zbo imagines his bling-wearing, reefer-toting, diamond-encrusted-grill picking up the ref and tosses him in the back of the massive low riding Black Cadillac Escalade with massive rims. The ref wakes up among in bags of jewelery and "supposedly concealed" firearms. He takes a whiff of the stagnant air and passes out again.]
"Say, Zbo, how would you think your family will treat him after he wakes up?"
"Uhhh...." [Zbo nervously imagines him (the ref) in ghetto clothes, with bling, the normal gangsta wear, sporting a gang symbol with his hands, instead of a whistle. The ladies giggle amongst him and he passed out...AGAIN.] "Not so good."
"such a pity...we could have used him to bet against the celtics...i dont think they will win...i heard from Fatty that Houston will win...BOOK IT!!!"

Remember, take this as a grain of sugar... ;P

i promised a few people that i would take a video of the jumbotron. and i included a pic of myself as a candy bar for those who want to know how i look like...find me riding the max or driving around in ALOHA!

Fatty and I have been talking and decided to see if anyone is interested in what we are offering.

(Disclaimer: This is not an Blazersedge.com event, but it relates to the users within it.)

On April 8th, 2008, Fatty and I are going to host a "Beat L.A. Night" at the garden, holding a blazers suite. Yes, a Blazers Suite. $3,000 for one suite and will hold 16 people. We are looking for people who are interested in buying a slot in the suite to exclusively hang out with Fatty. The REAL fatty and you can book it!!!

It will be $187.50 per person if we fill up all of the 16 slots. Right now, Fatty and I will take up  two slots and looking for 14 people to hang out with us. This is your opportunity to hang out with the real FATTY! Plus, you can yell "BEAT L.A.!"

Personally, this is going to be a real treat.  Leave a comment below if you are interested. Anyone is invited.

-Nate Update [2007-10-10 12:37:44 by XarXar]: *Attention!!!* *Attention!!!* Fatty and I changed our minds...we will go regular. In the 300 lvl, 20 tickets are to be reserved. Prices are maybe $47 each. I can get more if we need to. Right now, I don't need to pay the blazers til like march.

New update on the tv update...

quoting mike B: "One small addtion today. I've been receiving a lot of questions about the TV schedule, and it'll be released in a few days. I can tell you we've got some new additions to the broadcasts, in number of TV games, pre and post-game shows, and some new personnel. But, the play-by-play/analyst teams (Wheeler/Harvey on radio, and Barrett/Rice on TV) will be unchanged. There was a mention in the Portland Tribune this morning that indicated a change in the core teams. That was simply a mistake and it will be corrected."

http://mikebarrettsblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/long-day.html

[editor's note, by XarXar] I wanted it to be a top 10 like letterman so its 10 going down to 1....you see what I'm saying?

10. Roy doing a monster jam off an alley-oop!
9. Sergio dunking off an alley-oop!!
8. Taurean green doing a tomahawk jam on Yao!
7. Pryzbilla kneeing the guy who hit his nads last year and yelling "How you doing?" (inside joke from movie norbit)
6. Oden and L-train going for the same offense rebound and slamming it home!! (And the backboard breaks in the process)
5. Sergio lobbing to oden on a fastbreak for the flush!!
4. Oden denying the diesel!!
3. Oden rejecting the kobe-show!!!
2. Oden blocking duncan!!
1. Oden POSTERIZES DUNCAN!!!

just imagine all this....oh man...it could happen...

I'm announcing the first BE's Get-Together event at the Rose Garden and would like to hear from you readers...

Which game would be the best fit for the BE's first party?

I asked our immaculate Blogger Dave his choice for the first party and he said that he would be in town on nov 9th for the memphis game.

If you have any other suggestions, please mention it below in the comments.

Reminder: think the best for the BE, no weekdays games, some people are from seattle, idaho, southern oregon, etc etc...and probably prefer the game to be a friday night game or saturday afternoon game, games like that.

Dave has the VETO buzzer because the party doesnt start without DAVE!!!

Right now, blazers are hosting a nba draft party at the Rose Garden and i hear two of my friends are going there. Unfortunally for me, i wont be back in portland in time to get a good seat or something. So i looked around and found a spot at Buffalo Wings at tanasbourne mall, and decided to go there for the festivies because of the said Big TV that they are going to present the NBA Draft 07 on it.  Feel free to come up with a spot for your own draft parties here for other people to look and join. think this as a free craig's list of parties, hosted on the grand blazersedge.com. Keep it up, the oden vs durant debate is killing me. i always ask anyone, nba fan, non-nba fans alike the most qrillable question that will go down with KP deciding the vote on June 28th, 2007 the year of...McMillian?

my vote is on durant. please accept and dont try to convince me to change my mind. dyansty is all im thinking about, just like fatty says.

Didn't see anyone or dave say anying about fathers day so I went ahead to make this post. Dave, you are an awesome "dad" on this site!! To all fathers reading this site, HFD!! (Happy father's day)  Gotta go and hang out w my dad, who's reading the 1977 book by matt love. I finished that book and loved it. The Fast Break dvd is so awesome! Very close and upfront! Wish the nba was like that nowadays...

I was reading about their cheering and hollering about the 1-0 win vs dallas...props to them for winning!

NEW UPDATE!!!

My blazers rep replied to my question regarding seating prices and special packages available.

Group Ticket Pricing:

10-99 tickets                       100+ tickets
White - $110                        White - $105
Fuchsia - $95                       Fuchsia - $90
Blue - $56                            Blue - $47
Yellow - $43                         Yellow - $35

We have two different options for a group event:

Court of Dreams: Enjoy an once in a lifetime experience of playing basketball on the Trail Blazers court in the afternoon prior to the game!

Pre-Game Chat:  One hour prior to the doors opening, your group will have the chance to sit down and listen to Jerry Moss speak, while some of the Blazers warm up.

Your group is able to start putting money down to ensure the best seat location for the game of your choice.  Once we get the money, I can lock down either of these packages perks above.

I would love to have the Court of Dreams package (i would love to play some pick-up basketball against some of you!) and plus the top three seats sections. Keep thinking!! If you are willing to plop down the money now...please say so below...or discuss amongst yourselves...

the blazers rep contacted me back with this exciting news!

I will get a hold of you when the schedule comes out in early August and
we'll get a game set up for you.

ill do an another update, if there's enough interest for a weekday game l[+++]rs @ blazers game for those who are die-hard blazers fans in portland/vancouver area.
