Blazers vs. Golden State
Aaron and I enjoyed complimentary tickets to the Blazers game Friday night (thanks to the grand opening of the Sellwood Les Schwab). We rode the bus into NE Portland and ate at the nearby Applebee's using a giftcard that I had hoarded since Christmas. The restaraunt was packed, but we got seats within a few minutes of arriving, and we packed our food in just as quickly.
The arena was as empty as I've ever seen it. Our seats were pretty poor, so when we saw the cheer squad prancing up the stairs a few sections over to lead the silly game of having the crowd pass the game ball down to the court. I asked Aaron if he wanted to get in on the game and he quickly grabbed his jacket and ran over to the area where the ball was surely to pass. And pass it did. Since nobody was there, we just planted our butts in our adopted seats and enjoyed the game from a much better view.
The Blazers lost to a similarly-mediocre team AND failed to push the score past 100 so we didn't even get any free chalupa coupons for Taco Bell. I predict a long-yet-sometimes-exciting season full of losses that will lead to another high round draft pick.
