    Wow, sounds like @HCP works his ass off delivering chicken fingers and moving luggage.

    I love the Hotel Monaco, probably the best service in a hotel in Portland I've had.

    Friend of mine sent me that link, great read. Hotels definitely spoil the teams...... All I have to do is mention I'm with the team and they jump.

    And then security escorts you out of the hotel while trying not to laugh.

    Hey HCP,

    I've always wondered what types of perks the staff gets. Do you need to pay for your meals, or do you get them free like the team? How does that stuff work? Do you get free Trail Blazers clothes to wear and advertise?

    So which hotels do the refs stay in?

    And what is their security like?

    Do they check in under aliases?

    The most endearing part of the story this pic:

    The most hilarious part of the article was finding out that only 4 of the Rockets use aliases.... AND THAT JOSH SMITH IS ONE OF THEM!!! :)
