"Before we start, I want to give my love to the Blazers fan who shouted "FUCK THE CELTICS" during Storm Large's performance of the national anthem. Not before, or after, but right in the middle. Bless you, sir."

Well, c'mon, it's the patriotic thing to do. Hating the Celtics has almost replaced hating the Lakers/Yankees/Red Sox as civic duty.

I agree.
The Celtics were less evil when they had Dee Brown.
The Red Sox were less evil when they had Oil Can Boyd.
The Patriots were less evil when they had Doug Flutie.

Now it's fun to hate them all.

you hear the Scalabrine LeBron dis track? http://zi.ma/01c398

I think we should play 6 on 5 more often. Seriously though, I'm feeling good at half. A lot better than I expected. What are we shooting like 37% and still only down by 5? Yes. We. Can.

The 6 on 5 thing is totally baffling. I didn't even know that could happen.

Being a one-time devout Sonics fan (Sonics R.I.P.), some people are going to have to convince me to get back into NBA hoops again as a Blazers fan. Maybe we can talk about it when I do move to Rip City next Summer.

The Blazers are more fun to watch than the (recent) Sonics teams, but Seattle will always have Portland beat when it comes to one thing: mascots.

Squatch was amazing.

Oden and Pryz in @ the same time? Don't think I've ever seen that either.

Speaking of Squatch - Seski made it to a recent Blazers game with nobody high-fiving him besides Pryzbilla :(

(I might have found this off Mercury, I'm not even sure.)

Greg Oden's contributions mean so much more than a stat line. There have been at least a half-dozen possessions where his mere presence under the hoop has changed the Celtics' play.

oh my god

suck my fucking cock!!! go blazas!!!
