    The Other Streak is now over. Seth scores 9+ points and the Blazers lose???
    [​IMG]



    That was such a good game; too bad Portland couldn't close the deal, but they did well to make a run against Toronto after being down 16 points, keeping the game close at the end, nearly pulling off an upset on national TV. Portland fought hard and played well overall, but the Raptors were just a little better.

    Well, on to the next one. And this one is another morning game for the early birds out there. The loss to the Raptors would be much easier to swallow if the Blazers can finish off this road trip with 2 more wins. Let's get the first one here!

    This team is decent home team we have to bring energy especially after a loss.

    Another 10am start time, the NBA scheduling is pretty messed up sometimes...

    Need this as a bounce back game. 6-1 on this stretch should be the goal. If you can go into Toronto and scrap/claw and only lose by 2, you can win this game.

    Tell me about it FAMS. I have to be at work at 3am Portland time again. I don’t do good that early in the morning.

    I work at 3 am as well, and I never get use to that awful time. I don't drink anymore, but working at that hour makes me feel like i'm drinking again. Awful on the body, and mind. Especially for the middle aged.

    I have not been following the Hornets. Has Nic Batum been playing SG all season long? Or do they move him around a bit on certain covers? The starting unit for the Hornets seems to be a tough matchup. Long defenders that move well.

    West Coast teams shouldnt be allowed to play ges this early. Especially in back to back weeks. Especially because it doesnt work with my hours.

    Yeah this is lame. Make these games east vs east.
    Bs scheduling if you ask me. Silver can do better working this out with the tv contracts.

    3am to 10 am?

    7 hours prior to tip off? Seems extreme.

    The first hour and a half is dousing his insides with caffiene and sugar. Then he has to start prepping for the game! :)

    I figure prep is extensive and i get needing to probably be ready, what, a good hour before tipoff for pregame interviews and such, but say 2 hours of prep , And an hour prior to tipoff, is only three hours. What else needs to be done for another four hours, or is my prep time frame way off and its more like four or five hours and not two?
    Curious topic for me because my band is working on getting our prep and tear down times minimized, so we can start headlining shows instead of opening.

    I’ve changed my Uber schedule for this game. I went to bed earlier last night and am driving all day today so that I can get to bed early again tonight.
