Well, since I have been NHL-deprived since moving to PDX, I have been going to other sporting events (see last post). Before moving here, the NBA really did not do that much for me (except when I was a kid watching MJ and the Bulls destroy the competition :) ). But I went to a couple of games last season, and I really liked the young Blazers team that was playing. They seemed to have a good vibe, they were good kids, and this Brandon Roy kid really impressed me. Then the draft happen, and everyone was excited about Oden. So I kind of jumped into the bandwagon and started getting excited (especially after they traded Randolph and got rid of the remaining "JailBlazers".
So I bought a couple of tickets for some early games (Dallas and New Jersey), and I got hooked watching this young team, working together, and capable of beating the best teams in the league. Since then, I have gone to about another 10 or so games, and watch them on TV regularly. No matter if they make it to the playoffs or not, they definitely have gotten one more fan. I still have three more games to go before the end of the season, and I will be going to many more games next season.
So, if you do not have an NBA team nearby, and you like players that give their 100% every game, I suggest you watch the Blazers and you will like what you see!
Until next time!

ITS MARCH MADNESS....Get into college basketball...you know, being in NC, I have to be a huge NCAA fan. Ask Shannon, is she still a Duke fan?
It is hard to get into March madness when your school did not make it. It is hard to root for any other team.
Shannon is not a Duke fan anymore unfortunately.
