    How's your parents sly? Did you tell them hi for me? Also I would like to visit them when I come up if it's possible.

    Parents are great! And yes, I did say hi to them from you. That made them happy and they say hi back.

    Good grief, in no way can a blowout victory, especially one in which you led for all but 2 minutes and by double digits for the final 18, can in any way be attributed to luck. They missed so many shots because we played some great defense. They were lucky to be in the game in the first half because of a bunch of careless turnovers.

    Ya gotta give at least a bit of credit to Memphis for closing some passing lanes and a bunch of quick hands. They played some very good defense at times.

    Sat in section 225. The guy next to us was the biggest nerd ever. First off, he and his poor wife didn't arrive until halftime. Second, he spent every fucking second of the game commenting to his wife with this mushmouth drawl about how Nate's rotations were horrible and he needed to put the scrubs in. Then, when Nate put the scrubs in, he got up and left!

    No wonder those seats were half price!

    The 2nd half was garbage time, so you need to look at the 1st half box score. PopcornMachine.net will have the game broken down tomorrow. I wish they were faster.

    Maybe he was imagining that he was slamming the ball on the heads of American immigration agents! I know I have been imagining worse!

    Somewhere in the hotel, there is a gentleman talking to his wife how some balding homeless guy snuck into the hotel and mustve been high.

    "high?" his wife asks.
    "yeah, he thought I was Dave chapelle"
    "what, did this guy think because you're black, you look like a famous black guy?"
    "yep. But to be honest, he did look like Curley from the three stooges...."

    I wish Blazers would stop dealing with comcast....so i could actually watch the games.....grrr. Good defense certainly makes sense for the poor shooting...the grizz had.
