    Flying at 6:30am to Phoenix (why didn't I stay there?) and then to San Antonio, getting in 74 minutes before game time.

    I had no intention of going until HCP told me to. 3-0 with me in the building and I want to keep the streak alive. I won't be doing Memphis, though, as fun as that would be. Too busy and can't afford it. I did go to Clippers/Grizzles at Staples earlier today. What a bore. Couldn't get into it at all and it went down to the wire. Hard for me to get involved at a game unless I love one of the teams.

    A win in San Antonio would be so awesome. I hope it happens. We did own them last season.

    If we keep winning, I think there were two key moments that led to this. One was the 15-0 run vs Boston with the LMA+4 guards lineup that Nate how since used occasionally with some success. The other was Andre Miller mowing down Blake Griffin.

    Go Blazers

    I'm actually pretty tight right now but my brother's in town and going to these games are fun for us and I got free tix to the SA game so it felt affordable.

    I can't imagine he will answer that, but you were aware he was a regular on a tv show, right? Most shows pay more per episode than most people make in a year.....sometimes several years

    I envoy you being able to see this game. I don't think we'll win but I think its gonna be close and were gonna give it one hell of an effort. Didn't think i'd even be able to watch the game, usually work on sundays but my back acted up really baldy so I get to sit in bed and watch it :)

    I take it you've never been to San Antonio? No trip there is a waste of money. The river walk, Sea World, Six Flags......it's a blast in San Antonio

    San Antonio is awesome. My grandparents used to live there. They lived in the same neighborhood as David Robinson, Robert Horry and Antonio Daniels. David Robinson had (and still has, I imagine) a whole cul-de-sac called Admiral's Way where there are a couple houses and a lot of land. It was right around the corner. That's mostly why Robinson was my favorite player growing up.
