I would have liked to see each key different, e.g., one black with red stripes, one red with black, or white with either.
Yep, love this combo….In fact, I want to say in the 99-2000 season we had grey ones with old school Blazers font for one game…..and I believe those might be my favorite ever.
all those weird Blazers Edge fans were complaining about the "scuff marks" on the black painted key. - "It looks so beat up now." - "It will be difficult to maintain." - "What a terrible mistake." freaking snobs. Scuff marks mean the teams were playing hard. It's battle damage, gives the court character.
I actually like that alternate court. The whole tournament idea is dumb, but the court looks nice. Since we suck, it doesn't much matter.
41 games a season? That court would be really obnoxious. 4-5 in-season tournament games? Sure, why the hell not... get weird.
Huge changes in Blazer broadcasting. Jeff Curtin, the long long time director of Blazer broadcasting (and friend of the forum) was let go and the Blazers hired a new guy that doesn't have a ton of experience.
