So just got back from the Target center, a few notes. I obviously won't really go through the game since you probably saw it. First off, lets just get it out of the way, thank you lord for cheerleaders... ok now we can begin. Before the players came out Rebecca walked across center court and I swear I herad people cheering for her. Lots of Blazer fans there. We ran into one couple that were giving out blazer noise makers to anyone who was repping the zers. Nice people. First thing I noticed when McMillan came out was he got a big hug from Bassy and someone else, couldn't make out the other player. Game was pretty intense in the crowd, I have'nt really been to a Wolves game recently that the fans got that into. They were really into it in the second and start of the third. First and fourth not so much. But they do like there wolves, and are proud of them. It was stated before the game that Love was leading the league in off. rebounds per 48 minutes, and he got a nice applause before that. This was the first Blazer game I've been to here where Pryz was cheered and not booed. My uncle is a big shot for all the arenas here in the cities, and he said that all the staff in hte backstage love the twolves, but hated, absolutely hated Garnett. He said Garnett was the rudest player he ever ran into. The nicest player he saw (as far as fan interaction)... Rodman. Rebecca looked hot. People were talking a lot of shit about Rudy, particularly after his dunk. They were saying that's all he could do and didnt deserve to be in the dunk contest. He responded by scoring 18 points. Lot's of boos by the crowd after Pryz's block.. any video of that yet btw? Trying to think of more.. but that's pretty much it. It was nice to go to a game where I didn't get my heart rate way up like usual. Sad day though, I know I won't see these guys for another year. That sucks man. I'll add more if I can think of anytihng.
Thanks for the recap! Much appreciated! BTW, whenever I've had business in Minny, I always liked to stay in the university district.....specifically, the Radisson...and drinks at Sally's!!
Minny is a decent place, it just gets a bad rap because of the weather. But I now go to school in Fargo, and the weather there is much worse then here. So this 15 degrees here in Minny is honestly a heat wave to me. It's perfect.
A friend of mine moved to Minny in Dec of 07' to work for Target. She can't take the weather anymore so she'll be moving back to Portland this summer
It is pretty rough, but once again I'll never complain about it again after living in Fargo during the cold season. But yeah for someone who is used to rain and overcast it can be a little rough.
There was one super obnoxious fan at the game who sat very close to me. Luckily, a kid sitting right behind him kept hitting him with a thunder stick, so he was put in his place I want to say something though. You guys did not see what my beloved Kevin Love normally does. He looked really tired out there today and Aldridge did a great job keeping him out of position. So, I'll just say that. He's much, much better than the guy you saw out there tonight.
I would bet that most of us here know what Kevin Love 'normally does', considering he grew up here and played in the pac-10 last year.
They announced this over the PA system? lol. Sorry, that's pulling at straws to create some excitement if that was the case.
I also saw one that a young girl had that said rip city lives here. I also saw a lot of empty seats! I sure remember those days.
Well yes and no. See while the teams are warming up two douches go in the middle of the court and talk about the game over the pa system. so it wasnt the normal pa guy, jus two young hot people to talk about the game and they said it.
Ah... makes a little more sense I guess. But still a little weird... "Give it up Wolves fans for Kevin Love, the league leader in offensive rebounds per 48 minutes!" lol... for some reason, that's just hilarious to me..
