    Or maybe the Blazers can always point to the fact that they beat them in a championship series the very first time they made the playoffs?

    Meh... If we were a top ten team in the league.. a contender, then yeah, that would be hard to overcome, but they are somewhat in the same boat as us with a lot of young talent they have yet to figure out and they have been busting out. the Chicago game would have been a MUCH bigger story if they would have pulled that out, IMO.
    Its not the end of the world.

    Exactly!!! Great call!!

    Ive got $100 in on this if we can make it happen though!!!! I do have the next four days off, so I will try to put some things together for this to see if we cant get the ball rolling!

    I think that would be interesting too. Are there pictures of what the skybox looks like? Is it basically a big version of the suites? Or is it a big patio surrounded by slabs of concrete?

    The Sixers have shown they are capable of playing good basketball. We just weren't ready/willing to match their defensive intensity. That kind of thing happens all the time in the NBA for a lot of teams. It's why the Warriors start has been so impressive, and why its so hard to believe they can sustain it.

    So for Thursday, March 31st,

    The following can make it and would like to go?

    Orion Bailey
    KJIronman
    BBert
    Riverman
    HailBlazers
    ChrisCraig
    Strenuus
    VanillaGorilla
    Eastoff
    Fonzthecpt1
    Charcoal Filter
    BlazerWookie
    Sly


    And for those that cant make a week night,

    There are two Saturday games in April, the 2nd against Miami and the 9th against Minni:

    From the above list the only people I beleive cant make a weekend would be Riverman.

    El Presidente can make a Saturday game, but not sure which is preferred or if it matters?

    So for a Saturday game, can the following people confirm you can make and want to go to either game? IF you can only make one, please specify.

    There have been several people mentioned ( Blue9, Nate, Etc) as should go and so far it looks like there are plenty of spots for lal the dates. Need ot find out which ones work for the masses and go from there.

    Price should be a damned good deal for everyone if KJ and I are putting in a combined $200 right off the top, but the individual price cant be confirmed, until we have a tally of people for the game we decide on.

    So who else is down for an S2 nerd herd, WookieStyle drunk fest?????

    Okay, so if a weekend, Miami is the preferred matchup so far.

    Also, when you guys say you can make that, is that an either or? The Thursday or the Saturday, or which one?


    So far it boils down to this.

    River cant make a weekend and El Presidente cant make a weekday. They both want to go. Other than that, I don't know of any other conflict, other than a few have said a weekend would be preferred?

    Seems like we can go two ways. We can let El Presidente and Riverman pick a number for the night, or we can go with the weekend being the preferred?

    I'd likely be in for any game. Maybe UCD, too, but that old dude can speak up for himself.

    Updated list for either night:

    Orion Bailey
    KJIronman
    BBert
    HailBlazers
    ChrisCraig
    Strenuus
    VanillaGorilla
    Eastoff
    Fonzthecpt1
    Charcoal Filter
    BlazerWookie
    Sly
    BlazingGiants
    UncleCliffysDaddy(?)

    For Thursday only
    :
    Riverman

    For Saturday only:

    El Presidente



    As of now that is 14-15 people (depending on UCD)(sounds like a disease *snickers*) which is close to the magic number.

    I am assuming Miami is a second tier Elite team (CharcoalFiltered...Are you able ot confirm which teams fit which bracket?)
    If no one else were to want to go and 15 people being the final number the breakdown of costs would be as follows:

    OB - $100
    KJ - $100
    13 other people $48.31 per person



    If the game Boston and Minni games are Premier, then the breakdown would be:
    OB - $100
    KJ - $100
    13 others - $26.16


    However I think those games would be in the Grand bracket, making the breakdown as fgollows:

    OB - $100
    KJ - $100
    13 others - $14.16 each




    Thats one hell of a deal and thats if no one else even wants to go!!!!!

    Maybe KJ and I put our foot in our mouths and will have to drop it down to $50 for the next one, hahahaha.

    But yeah man, lets make this happen!!!! How to collect? Who to pay?

    Also, was it confirmed this suite comes with the same food or equivalent too as the first one?

    Is Denny able to go????????????

    I heard, Julie Caceres might be able to hook sell us a better deal for a sweet. She works for the blazers, my company buys a suite once a year. Pm for the number. Maybe sly can get us a better deal.
