Opening night..in LA! Woot. Second opening night in LA I'll go to. Via teh twitterz. The Blazers will open the season at the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 27 at 7:30.
Re: Blazers open @ Clippers Shoot. I love those Christmas afternoon home games. Gym Rat gave me 4 tickets one year on Christmas, and I took my girls to their first game. Now they ask me every Christmas if we can go to a Blazers game, LOL. If I can't get those games on a non-Comcast channel, I will be very grouchy. In fact, I'm very grouchy just thinking about it. Curse you Comcast!! I thought I read we were opening in NY? Did I miss the joke or something? Go Blazers!
Opening at the Clip joint scares me a bit with Kaman and Griffin, and their trio of combo guards in Baron, Gordon and Foye. At least it won't have the hype of the Lakers, but you never know what Clippers team you'll get. Then we have to fly all the way to NY? Geez.. BS. We're also at Chicago on Nov. 1 on NBA TV. LOTS of road games to begin the season.
Good thing we are a better road team then we were 2 years ago. We may have even been a better road team than home team last year.
El Presidente, are you in? I will try and make this one, but Clipper tickets may be harder to come by if fans have a new sense of optimism.
I'm definitely in. I hope I can get the same seats as last year, right by the Blazers tunnel...so awesome. we'll definitely plan it. yeah...might be hard for tix...might actually have to pay... *gasp* face value for opening night.
Portland AT Golden State on Christmas?? Who the hell was making this stupid schedule? The only people watching that game will be Blazer and Warrior fans.
do the lakers and clippers flip flop every year with one of them playing a decent amount more home games then the other?
