    Young roster, first time playing together, exceeded all expectations and made the playoffs during a rebuilding year.

    Denny and I are really excited and instead of jerseys next year we're going to blow our entire budget on a crab made out of butter.

    If I was playing we would have won guaranteed 100%. You need to draft me next summer. (And pay my ticket to the US)

    Dude, that would a great vacation for you. Fly to Vegas for summer league and fun, maybe rent a car and drive to LA, see Hollywood and Disneyland, then drive or take the train up to Portland for the 3 on 3 tourney, fly home.

    Start saving for the vacation and I'll save you a spot on the team.

    That sounds good but unfortunately the plan is to save money until next summer to go back to japan after graduating and look for a job there

    Seriously if you do this next year ,you should raise the price of the Jersey up $10 from your cost and make extras to sell to offset the cost of the Jerseys the players are wearing, or ask for donations. I would buy one next year for sure just to help with the costs, those are bad ass.

    Except.. you ruined the fricking picture with your Orlando, or Charlotte or WhateverTF shoe you are wearing that clearly isnt Blazers colors...Traitor!

    No wonder we lost... Fricken GM has his eyes set on another team for the offseason!! Hes cashed in and sipping martinis on some Florida beach already.....

    1. The earth is flat, you can't fly that way. You'll fall off the edge.

    2. Play MyVegas on facebook, you'll get everything you need for a Vegas vacation except airfare for free.

    3. We have a nice youth hostel in Portland. You can stay there for cheap.

    I second that My Vegas thing. pretty cool to play a slot app for free and build up credits for a weekend vacation once a year.

    I'd give Taiwan a serious look if you are job hunting....cost of living is way better than Japan and in my view....one of the best expat communities in asia...then visit Japan anytime you want. I've lived in both places and recommend Taiwan if it interests you.

    I retweeted the winner of the 3 on 3 contest, it appeared right about a tweet of yours that I also retweeted, @Orion Bailey got confused and for some reason combined the two.

    There is no edge but it is flat...and repeats itself over and over for an eternity making us think it's round like those moving walkways at airports
