NBA Commissioner David Stern has emerged from his dark cave (where he fixes games and hates on adorable kittens) to release the 2008-2009 schedule. The Blazers kickoff the season on Tuesday, October 28th in Los Angeles against the Lakers (nationally televised on TNT). Their home opener–and the debut of Greg Oden, Jerryd Bayless, and Rudy Fernandez–will take place three days later versus San Antonio.

A Halloween home opener?! I am totally dressing up as Jarrett Jack!
What? Too soon?

You can view the entire schedule here. I feel bad for the former Sonics team which is now stuck in the dustball of Oklahoma City with a schedule, but no team name. I wonder if they’ll give us their mascot now?

Ezra Ace Caraeff is the former Music Editor for the Mercury, and spent nearly a third of his life working at the paper. More importantly, he is the owner of Olive, the Mercury’s unofficial office dog....

  2. Not sure. This is what the press release said about tickets:

    “Four different Quarter Season ticket packages go on sale Monday, Aug. 11, at 10 a.m. Approximately 1,000 packs are available, and are the best way to guarantee seats for the season’s top games.”

    Not sure if that includes $10 nosebleeders or not.

  3. You can buy quarter season tickets right now. Single game tickets go on sale late September, early October (according to the ticket office). Couldn’t tell me a specific date.

    I seem to remember them going on sale around October 14ish last year.

  4. Sorry, Ezra’s right. Quarter Season tickets go on sale to the general public on the 11th, but they’re doing pre-sales to special people right now. Don’t know what the hell I ever did to get the presale info, but something tells me that if you were to call the ticket office and ask about them they probably wouldn’t turn you down.

  6. Woo Blazers!

    If you really want to stick it to Seattle for losing their NBA team, you should head over to PGE Park for the Portland Timbers/Seattle Sounders game thursday night.

    I know I’m obsessive, but the game is going to be big. And it’s thirsty thursday.
