Drove down from Seattle to Portland to catch the celtics game tomorrow and hang out for the weekend.  Been here since yesterday.  Just got back to the hotel after dinner to find that the entire team is staying here.  Kinda cool.  I met Bradley and melo in the elevator... My buddy met pierce in the hallway.  I gave scal shoutout and shook cedrick maxwells hand in the lobby. Trying hard not to be an annoying fan and respect their space but I keep bumping into people.

I'm pumped for the game tomorrow!

Probably the coolest experience ever. LUCKY.

You downtown, LarBrd?

If you're a fan of beers, drop by Belmont Station on the east side, and/or John's Marketplace in the SW before you head back up to Seattle. Big bottle selections.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
That is really awesome! If I were in your shoes, I probably couldn't help but be the most annoying fan on the planet!

Btw, how big was Melo in real life?
I like Marcus Smart

There are a few autograph hounds outside the hotel waiting for them.  We were hanging out and drinking in the hotel lounge
area and saw pretty much every player pass by over the course of a half hour.   It would have been pretty easy to walk up to them and ask for a pic or something, but I don't want to bug them.  Pretty awesome surprise.  Hard not to get excited.  I did chat with melo and Bradley briefly when I was stuck with them on an elevator... And couldn't resist shaking maxwells hand as I walked by him in the lobby.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

We are trying to hit up everything we can.  We are like a mile away from the rose garden...  My favorite bar so far is ground control ... The arcade/bar.   Pretty sweet ... Do you live here or have you just visited??

Seems 7 feet to me.  I have a freakin Celtic hoodie on so I felt like I should acknowledge that I'm not an autograph hound who snuck into the hotel.  Just told them that we drove down from Seattle to see them play... Bradley was like "that's what I'm talkin bout"... Wished them luck tomorrow.  I'm only 5'7... Melo is a giant next to me.

If you met him in the elevator, what was he doing... sitting down??  :o

I live here. Transplant from New England, over ten years ago.

Portland's not quite the city Seattle is, but it has its many charms.

Wake up early and camp out by the hotel entrance just to see them one last time! ;D That's what I would do. 4 in the morning, just sit there and wait. CELTICS FOR LIFE!

I've always viewed these guys as gods, for lack of a better word. It's hard for me to believe they're real humans (I've never been to a live game)

Grats man! I would probably scream like a little girl if I got the chance to meet them.
