    I know bookstores are low on copies, and Skyhorse Publishing has ordered a second print run, but that won't help replenish supply for at least a few weeks. Powells and Barnes & Noble outlets are supposed to have the book. Broadway Books and Annie Bloom's have had the book. And Amazon had the book, though I was told it's now on back order. I'm at the mercy of my publishing company and the bookstores, unfortunately.

    The other team has to actually be intimidated by them though. Have you seen Zach?

    What was Ha Seung-Jin like? He seemed to have enjoyed himself in Portland.

    Certainly not with Terry. I'm assuming you're talking about post-game. I feel like he is asked tough questions when they are appropriate. Terry has a good rapport with the media, so I think it works pretty well most of the time. As for Olshey, there are just no chances to ask him questions, at least from a local scribe.

    Hopefully Mr Eggers will speak kindly of his evening spent with internet nerds and recommend this to others.

    The seed for the era was planted with the Carlesimo/Strickland friction of 1994-95, but it began in earnest when the Blazers acquired Rider and Wallace in 1996-97. As for the exact genesis, Rider had several incidents that first year that kicked up enough dust to get it started, as I've detailed in the book.

    I was just hoping it wouldn't come out before the release of my book :)
    And no, I've not been asked to contribute to anything. I'll believe there is a documentary in the works when I see it.

    I've been reading your book almost nonstop since I got my copy, there was a ton in there I didn't know about that era. Never knew about the friction from Carlesimo and Strickland. Really fun to read and look back on.

    According to a good source -- my girlfriend -- a request for the book at a library is generally answered promptly, and affirmatively. I still have no answer on ebooks and audio books, though I think the answer will be yes on that as well.

    Well if most of the people involved weren't willing to talk to you about that era because of the documentary then I am glad your book came out first too.

    Would you contribute if asked?
