11 in a row

Today we played the Seattle Supersonics and we beat them to get our 11th win in a row. We didn't play our best game, but we ended up winning by like 15 or something like that. In the spirit of Christmas i wore a red valor (i dont know how to spell it) suit jacket. The first thing i hear when i walked into the arena was "what is that, velvet?" from Coming To America. I laughed so hard but i ended up hearing it like 10 more times in the night. My family is also here for the holidays so thats good. In all it was a great Christmas. And one last thing i didn't get anything Darius Miles told me that its the first year of me being Santa Claus im not getting anything anymore im gonna the be the one giving out stuff, so here to being a grown man.

    Hi Greg
    glad to hear you enjoyed your christmas. glad that you were able to enjoy your family's company, I hope you thought of those less fortunate than your self, that is very important... children in various parts of the world who have nothing, and no one. I know that you would make a great dad, I know if you had children of your own you would want them to be happy and taken care of, so I know that you would do the same for the less fortunate children.
    Children are our future please don't forget them. I wish you a prosperous and a healthy new year and many more to come.

  By the way: How is Darius' knee coming along? How has his experience at rehabbing it been of use to you?

  You are a man of your words...you said you would post after the Blazers win and you did just that. Look for me on fanation.com and you will see my comments via "Odenator...I'll be baack!" I am representing you big guy. Good luck with the continued rehap and can't wait til we see you next year! BTW, did Jarret get you that scarve from Mario's like he said he would? =)
  
  Happy New Year!

  Almost simultaneously with every basket made this year you may hear a very distant cheer! That would be my two sons and I going wild from Rancho Cucamonga, CA! I am now a second year season ticket holder and only get to see two games a year in the Rose Garden. Trust me, You'll hear us in the Staples Center! This Spring Break, after we attend the Clipper's game at Staples, we will drive to Seattle for that game and then back to Portland for the Houston and Grizzlies games. It's tough being a Blazer fan in LA but we are unwavering! My sister sent your Bobblehead and it was the hottest thing under the Christmas tree! Keep your head up and keep working hard. I have waited 30 years for another Championship, I am patient, I will wait for you!

  Greg it's not the suit, you need to get a hair cut and look fresh for the games. Hit a barber shop up some time it will make the clothes look nicer.

  It is an awesome thing to see the Blazers doing so well. I moved from Portland to the other border of the state several years ago. I miss being able to attend the games, but I watch whenever I can. I'm looking forward to seeing you on the court...Happy New Year!

  Greg my boy! You keep your head up! Don't worry about your basketball career, because if the abc announcers keep giving your blog props on national tv, you have a second career already lined up! Let's go get #12 tonight, and I expect a blog about how your going to win 24 straight after you get back next year!
