Portland at San Antonio on opening night.

[tlongII]

Nationally televised. That is what my sources are telling me. I don't really like the idea of playing you guys right off the bat, but it should be fun.

[saporvida]

duncan is gonna totally run all over oden!!!

[Reckless28]

not the suns or the mavericks???

[hater]

yeah, I am disapointed.

shouldn't we play a decent team on opening night(Cleveland/Chicago/Detroit/Utah/Phoenix/Dallas/Houston), not some scrubs??

[tlongII]

I'm sure Duncan will get all the calls in his favor. That's just the way it is.

[tlongII]

I think you should consider the game a sort of symbolic passing of the torch.

[Reckless28]

yeah, i'm sure it has nothing to do with how good tim duncan is.

an asswhooping by the Spurs symbollizes passing of the torch to you?

[FromWayDowntown]

I think some of you seriously underrate the Blazers.

It would make sense to highlight Oden v. Duncan -- #1's drafted 10 years apart, one who has been a dominant big for all of his career and another who might prove to be the next dominant big. I could see this as being plausible.

I wonder, though, if tlong's "sources" bleat out their answers?

[Mixability]

I'm sure Duncan will get all the calls in his favor. That's just the way it is.

And the excuses start.

Hey! You made bail!

The Spurs will probably give a and play like , esp if on national TV, with Pop playing weird rotations and the starters playing 30 minutes or less.

[MoSpur]

Cool. I'm excited about that one if its true. Greg Oden and the Blazers are going to be a good young team. They're not going to be a team you blowout all the time.

On ring night? Doubt it.

[kobe_bryant]

spurs fans want to see lakers and myself

But you're the 15 yr champion T-Blazers right? So you should win by 60

[703 Spurz]

I'm sure Duncan will get all the calls in his favor. That's just the way it is.

As if Oden won't ever get all the calls 8-10 years from now

[tlongII]

Hopefully the Donaghy affair will force the NBA to let the game be officiated fairly. If so we will win.

[Solid D]

tlong, be sure to remind Oden that in the league that starts in Autumn, he doesn't get 10 fouls.

[ShoogarBear]

Oden should have waited. He could have gotten his tonsillectomy on national TV.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

It seems like the Spurs sometimes play a little lackadaisical on ring night...of course there have already been so many that I can't keep them straight in my mind.

[AFBlue]

On ring night? Doubt it.

BTW, Dwight Howard signed a max extension. Though I love your sig and hope to god it somehow happens....that signing was probably a crushing blow.

[tlongII]

tlong, be sure to remind Oden that in the league that starts in Autumn, he doesn't get 10 fouls.

I should probably also remind him that you are not allowed to breathe on Tim Duncan. It will take time, but he'll get though it.

[CubanMustGo]

You're getting really old, TLong. If your intent is to look as childish as SunTrolls (shred, da_suns_fan_, etc.), rest assured you are rapidly achieving such status.
