Well personally, I can't wait to BEAT L.A. on Tuesday. One of my best friends is a hardcore Laker fan, and we've always had a Blazer-Laker rivalry going on. What better way could there be to start off the NBA season than to beat the Fakers? Anybody have big plans for watching the game?
Oh hell ya!! I'm flying home to Oregon from the Bahamas Nov 4th and I just bought two tickets to Rockets on the 6th finally NOT in the 300 section... i'm SOOO pumped!!!!
It would be great to see it happen, but I don't expect anything. I think we ought to hope for the best, but keep our expectations somewhat realistic; there's a good chance we open the season 0-5.
Tuesday is my Birthday and I have about 6 Blazer Fans and myself going out to a sports bar here in Phoenix. I'm So Stoked! Never been more excited for the season to start. And Saturday I have tickets for Blazers v Suns
Going to the game. I hate going to Blazers Road games in hostile arenas...just bad to be in an environment where everyone's yelling at you. Especially Los Angeles. Can't wait though. Should be epic.
I agree, I went to a game in Utah one time. I'm not from Portland but I went with three guys who are, the Jazz fans were talking crap the whole game. Mighty mouse hit a three to tie the game and send it into overtime. We were going nuts. Eventually the Jazz won on some stupid call (Okur hit a three and got fouled). Jazz fans followed us all the way to the car talking trash.
Yeah. Might bring a jacket to wear on the way out so I don't get into it with Laker fans either way the game ends. Sucks that I'm going by myself since I was able to buy a single ticket, which doesn't help. Same reason I don't watch laker games at bars in LA or try not to. I get into too much shit.
Sweet another Blazer fan in Arizona, I live in Chandler. My boss is a Laker fan, so there will be years of trash talking between us. I think they get the upper hand on us this year, but starting next year I get the last laugh. Of course if Kobe goes down with an injury they very quickly become just an average team
There are quite a bit of Laker fans out here, but they dont annoy me as much as the Suns fans. The Suns fans all talk like they are entitled to a championship, I hate the Suns more than the Lakers since I moved out here from Portland. I'm so toked for this season to start though. I have a group of six wearing Blazers jersey's for the season opener on Tuesday, we are out in Glendale, which is a drive from Chandler, but the more the merrier.
I'm taking work off, going to my buddy's place (with the giant hi-def flat screen) and we're gonna get loaded and watch the game and cheer our little lungs out. Oh, sports.
I agree except I don't think there is a good chance we start 0-5, but there is a chance. I've been keepin' my expectations to 47-51 wins.
Unfortunately I have to wait. The game is not until tomorrow. However I am like a puppy wetting the floor, I am so excited!!! The team can lose the next four but not this one. g
