    I almost didn't put these up because of the end result but I am a man of my word. Overall it was a good night. I had fun, I pissed a lot of people off and if you were watching the game then surely you saw me on tv and you know why! I also got Corey Brewer's headband after the game so I'd still say it was an unforgettable experience. If I missed anything or you wanna see pics and videos of what Portland is like just check out my Instagram MicahTh3prophet.

    Pic of the headband. Also people shout at Dwight during the whole game but the funny thing is he replies back and cracks on them too! He made one guy get up and leave but the guy came back and dapped him up. It was pretty funny. Portland fans are very passionate about their team I guess considering that that's the only sports team they got. Most energetic arena I've been to up to this point.

    This is becoming my favorite part of GARM - the fans who go to the games, get good seats and share the event with us who can't be there. Thanks bro!

    Too bad they're not playing GS anymore this year (maybe the playoffs? lol)

    Consdering Brwer extremely thin size, I won't be surprised if the head band came in a size of 3-5 T lol

    Serious answer: No. It was dripping sweat I wrapped it in a bunch of napkins and it was dry before I went back to the airport this morning haha.

    <BR>Saw you there, tmacman. During the shootaround I was on your left near the corner. Here are some shots I got with my sh!tty HTC-One camera:

    Some other Rox fans right next to me. These guys ended up on the Rockets Instagram.

    A Kit-Kat gift gets you a signature on your D-mo shirt.

    A few observations:

    • D-mo looked tired, even during the shootaround. Seemed like he was in a good mood, but definitely didn't have the energy we saw from him earlier in the year. Hopefully he'll bust through that wall soon.
    • Most of the guys were pretty friendly, but apparently Bev gets into a-hole mode way before game time and walked right past everyone into the tunnel.
    • Josh Smith actually can smile, just not during the game.
    • Josh Powell is still on the payroll, helping out during warmups.
    • Bernie B. is much taller than I would have thought.
    • Terry is in amazing shape. The guy is absolutely ripped.
    • Portland fans really hate Harden and think he flops on every play. Then again, they like Kamen.

    I was gonna say that I felt bad for you for making a trip to Portland to see us get and L, but getting Brewer's headband makes that night a huge W for you. koolsturybreh.

    LOL. I was standing on a platform about two feet higher than where Corey was standing. I'm 5'7" on a good day.
