L...I say forget about the comcast televised games. Lets get everyone we can to go to the opening preseason game.<BR/><BR/>I would love to see the look on the opponents faces to see 10,000+ screaming fans for a preseason game.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the Blazers should organize something that will get as many people through the turnstile. Maybe have a give away (i.e. limited edition Casey Holdahl bobble heads) or just make the game a freebie (call it a public service)<BR/><BR/>I think with the first game back with G.O. plus Rudy Fernandez and all the guys coming back. This could be something special. If this happens I'll be the first to buy a ticket!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-36811605825676030492008-08-04T22:48:00.000-07:002008-08-04T22:48:00.000-07:00It kind of sucks Greg won't be playing in any of t...It kind of sucks Greg won't be playing in any of those games. Hopefully Bayless and Fernandez get a lot of minutes with Roy and Aldridge. It will be interesting to see if coach Nate gives them more minutes to rest Roy and Aldridge for opening night.BRoyFTWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422305146656613795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-40654106225790952022008-08-01T15:18:00.000-07:002008-08-01T15:18:00.000-07:00Hell yeah casey! 66 days and counting.

I heard Batum got his deal, but I beleive Petteri Koponen made it out of vegas without an offer. Do you think were leaving that spot open for trade possibilities, or do we just need him to show up at camp and prove he still wants it? <BR/>Also I have to say, and I'm sorry, but I think Bayless is getting to much hype (for now) integrating Rudy (who's proven) and G.O. (a straight up man child) with our current starting five seems like a lot bigger issue than finding a 19 year old minutes. <BR/>Finally, with all of our offensive weapons (and this is going to hurt) do we need Outlaw? Wouldn't a lock defender serve more purpose. I know he was clutch a few times last year shooting, but seriously with Roy, Rudy, and webster up top, and L.A. and G.O. down low, could you really say you want Travis trying to get his? <BR/>You the man!NateDogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385057184611908567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-48169709728326802008-08-01T10:38:00.000-07:002008-08-01T10:38:00.000-07:00I'll be fairly worried if greg's playing aside lam...I'll be fairly worried if greg's playing aside lamarcus and we don't win everysingle one of these games. I'm in the minority when I believe that there are no excuses for not going to the nba western confrence finals this next season. but that's what I expect...and dam it...that's what I am going to get.<BR/><BR/>but a championship would be nice too!! ;)JEREMIAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741108038759255087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-26061475186424509432008-08-01T09:43:00.000-07:002008-08-01T09:43:00.000-07:00Will: I'm not entirely possitive, but I about 99% ...Will: I'm not entirely possitive, but I about 99% sure all of the preseason games will be on Comcast. If they showed (and re-showed) all the summer league games, you have to figure they'd show preseason.<BR/><BR/>John: No word just yet on when tickets will be available. Sometime very soon though.<BR/><BR/>johnvm: Flying to K.C. beats the heck out of flying to Atlanta. I think it's all apart of the NBA trying to expand the fanbase.<BR/><BR/>benny: While I would like to see all wins in preseason, I think it's more important to find out how some of the younger guys play with the vets. I'd rather Bayless, Rudy, Batum, Diogu and (to a lesser extent) Oden get more minutes in a loss than Roy, Aldridge, Outlaw, Webster and Blake get minutes in a win.Casey Holdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975397453477075486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-61368141545241501302008-08-01T07:33:00.000-07:002008-08-01T07:33:00.000-07:00All home preseason games in Portland?
