Felix told me for those of you that went to the Blazers/Suns game last week are quite serious about watching a live Lakers game... really?! I know Joe and Ray have been thinking about going to Portland to watch a game for quite sometime now, I think we've talked about it for the past 2 seasons at least. I have listed all of Portland's home games for this season. Obviously the January 8th and February 6th games intrigue me the most, but I'm worried it'll snow during that time and it'll be a heck of a ride getting down there. Assuming we all work weekdays and not having to ask for any time off, there are only 4 Saturday games for their entire season - Nov 21 vs Minnesota (ewww), Dec 5 vs Houston (Ariza!), Jan 2 vs Golden State (Captain Jackson and the Jackers!) and Feb 6 vs the Lakers (Adam Morrison!). Anyway, have fun checking out the schedule lol:

I want to go, doesn't matter which game, Lakers or otherwise. But definitely want to be at the arena early to take any possible pictures and watch some shoot around.

Btw, if I'm included, I have to warn you that it's a hassle for me to cross the board because of Bush's gay homeland security policies. Just because I was BORN in a heavy Muslim country, I get profiled. They disregard the fact that I hold a Canadian passport and am ethnically Chinese. How it works is I have to check in/out when I go into or out of the States, I will take longer at the border. Or if you guys don't want to wait, I don't have to go.

A game in Portland sounds good (as long as it's not in the heart of the winter season, where the I-5 becomes a skating rink for cars).

Victor, we'll just make you walk across the boarder ;)
