    This week's prize being raffled off for season ticket holder's:

    Hanging in the production truck during a game. If I win, I may invite MIXUM just to see if he and HCP beat the crap out of each other.

    So if I win I get to watch the game on TV in a cramped space instead of live?

    What next, Work the Food Stand Day?

    Next I think is Wash the Team's Laundry Day. I hear they had to buy a bigger washing machine for Greg's Jock.

    Seriously though, I think it would be pretty cool watching what goes on behind the scenes of a production.

    I will probably keep mine for as long as I can without any financial hardship.

    The second I have to choose between eating and tickets the tickets are getting kicked to the curb.


    I don't think having tickets or not says anything about your fandom.
    After all, there are tons of fans at the games I attend who aren't really even paying attention to game while there are tons of folks who DVR games so they can break them down like the Zapruder Film.


    Buying season tickets is much like gambling.
    You are hoping that the team is worth the money and time but you don't actually know until the season is over.

    And much like gambling, you should probably only spend what you can afford to loose.

    I would probably look into retooling. But to retool, you have to have something to retool with. Blazers have some pieces. But the pieces are broken so I don't know if you can really retool with that.

    I just watched a interview with Camby in which he said he has never won anything and that he would like win a championship before his career is over. It might have been just me, but I think he was hinting at something. Why not move him for another asset? Were not going to win anything relevant before it's time for him to hang it up. A team that is ready to compete now might give up something kind of nice for him.

    I don't know. You obviously want to make sure Pryz is back before you do anything. But once he is, I probably would try to honor his request and desire an send him some place where he can win big now.

    Camby to San Antonio for George Hill and Splitter?

    I would do that. But I think the Spurs are pretty high on Splitter. I kind of doubt they will move nice young talent for Camby. But I love Hill.

    I was looking at the Laker roster and trying to see if they had anything we would be interested in. I didn't see anything. If was going to move Camby to a winner, I would almost move him to a place in which I knew he could win a title. Lakers, Celtics, maybe the Spurs.

    I would move him somewhere where we could get the best talent in return. I love Camby and all, but this is a business and this team needs all the help it can get.

    Yep, I agree. The Spurs have some good pieces. I don't see them moving Splitter for the aging Camby, though.

    George Hill is to Popovich as Wes Matthews was to Sloan. I don't think he's going anywhere.
