    Great point. I didn't think about that until after I voted...

    I don't know if I would change from Houston even with this knowledge though.

    Hopdoddy is a burger joint we got here; amazing. Best burger I've ever had. Its a restaurant and sometimes has a line over an hour long to get a table but worth it. In n out is just another fast food joint. Its cool that its simple and old fashion but its only a step above McDonalds; it doesn't compare to a decent restaurant. I don't know why sports athletes always go to them; I always hear that with the Ducks/Beavers going as well. Now a poor hungry college student could make sense. But if I was a million dollar NBA athlete I'd never eat that crap.

    >If you guys are talking about a great burger, I have to tell you about Rossi's , a South Trenton NJ tradition They moved to the suburbs in Hamilton Twp. ( my home) but a 1/2 pound perfectly cooked piece of cow meat is what I'm talkin about. Rossi's claim to fame is their burgers and the fact that Joe Di Maggio was a frequent customer.

    As Sir Mix-A-Lot once said: "Dick's is the place where the cool hang out."

    I've not been to an In-N-Out, but it sounds very similar to Dick's. And for the price, Dick's is pretty damn good.

    One of my first memories of Seattle. Then we went to the arcade across the street. Good times.

    So Rudy Gay is out, which is pretty cool.

    Is it really in reference to that?
    Fuck Kanye, BTW. (But he does have decent taste in pop art...or at least he listens to someone with taste in art.)

    It's always hard to tell if that is good or not. Some of our best wins have been behind Gay and Boogie chucking outside shots.

    Kanye has a song with the lyrics "How could you be so heartless". The bear is his mascot for lack of a better term.

    Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner. They just opened the one off 185th and Evergreen on 3/31. First, and hopefully last, one in Oregon, but the ridiculous lines tell me otherwise. I can't believe people actually waste time waiting in line for fast food. Do they not get the irony? People camped out days ahead of time and traffic jams on my way home from work for fucking fast food. Really people, you don't HAVE to get it today. It will still be there next week, next year and 10 years from now, long after the novelty has worn off. As a personal policy, I avoid any place with a drive through window. It's all crap.

    What's great about the Rockets sucking is that they haven't even had any major injuries. Incredible.

    That's their problem; they were way better with Howard injured last year.

    Just what I was thinking. The Kings were moving the ball great in the first quarter against us in Portland. Cousins is a ball stopper high volume shooter hitting under 50% for the season.

    Gay has had a few crazy games against us so you never know what to expect. As long as our stamina is good I think we win this. Hopefully the gut bomb in n out don't slow our guys too much.

    Still, and will always be, one of my all-time favorite Blazers. Should have never, ever sent him to MIA in the Shawn Kemp sign-and-trade. BGrant was the heart and soul of those great 98-99 and 99-00 WCF teams.
