Spicy Older Ladies Blazers Fan Club - Summer League Report

Well there is a lot to discuss.  Summer League is in the books for the Portland Trailblazers. You know us Spicy Older Ladies have opinions!

The Blazers have been making some moves. THEY finally have a new Head Coach- Micah Nori.  We really liked Tiago Splitter as acting coach of Trail Blazers.  

I thought Tiago resembled Sam the Eagle

Tiago is headed to the BULLS.

Other notable trades are Jerami Grant aka JG and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies for Ja Morant.  Very mixed feelings about Ja.

Spicy Older Lady Blazer Fans Appreciation

Well, well, no one is more surprised than us that the Blazers made the play in for the post season.  We are delighted and excited to see what happens. They play the Phoenix Suns tonight.  The play in games are on Amazon Prime

We have some favorite players that will be playing

Deni Avdija aka Turbo - Not hard on the eyes either

Donovan Clingan aka Cling Kong - Big Man from UCONN

Shaedon Sharpe - aka Sharpie - this guy can fly.  Probably due to all the Mac n Cheese he eats.

Jrue Holiday - this seasoned veteran is keeping hope alive.  The Blazers would not be in this position without him

Inappropriate Thought

I think the Blazers Acting Head Coach resembles Sam the Eagle.  I can't unsee it.  I worry that the creases in his forehead might be becoming permanent.

Spicy Older Lady Blazer Fan Club

I am still an Ollie fan who looked really cute at Halloween with Donovan Clingan. I also enjoyed Dame's costume.

I really need to shorten the name of our fan club.  The season is going. It seems like every game is a nail biter.  Also, thanks to the Blazers announcers I feel like I have to build my all-lumber team.

Surprise, surprise the Blazers are actually doing well in the Emirates Cup. They are at the top of their group. They play the Spurs Wednesday.

I learned a new fact about the Moda Center in Portland thanks to an Instagrammer there is a secret apartment in the Moda Center that Paul Allen owned. Who knew?

I did not need all about super fan Thundor during the Oklahoma Thunder/Blazers game. That is an extreme fan.

Spicy Older Ladies Blazer Fan Club - breaking news

 Well we did not seem this coming.  Chauncy Billups head coach of the Blazers was arrested. Beyond disgusted and disappointed.  The Spicy Older Ladies DO NOT APPROVE of these shenanigans.  I think the Blazers have enough problems without this incident.

Bill Orem said it best, "We all are victims of Chauncy Billups".

30 Rocks at 30 Rock

I am thinking that me and my mother-in-law are the only Blazers fans in our small New Mexico town. We watched the preseason and here are my thoughts in no particular order.

Matisse needs a podcast maybe with Kris Murray as a co-host. There is much debate exactly what it would be about. TBD

Yang Hansen is the real deal.  He did great despite language barrier and being a rookie. The question is Yang his last name or first name. Yang is on his jersey.

Shaedon Sharpe (Shay) was in the house and delivering the mac and the cheese.

Donovan Clingon (Cling Kong) was looking in a lot more conditioned.  He got schooled by Drew Eubanks (Kings) and Nurkic aka the Bosnian Beast (Jazz) both former Blazers. His second year is looking promising.

The young blazers are confused about Furbies and Gremlins. I tell you what youngsters they are very different. They all agree Furbies are scary looking.

Deni Avjida aka Turbo was looking fabulous. My oldest won't let me use the nickname I want to give him. I will continue to correct other team announcers until they pronounce your last name right. KNOW HIS NAME!

Yes, I will continue to keep a list.  I have changed to a dry erase board.

Weird and Interesting Stuff About Me

November is my birthday month. So, I thought I would share weird and interesting stuff about myself. That sounded better in my head.  One of my micro-obsessions is Trailblazer basketball. I got into the Trailblazers thanks to my husband's grandfather, Pappy.  This season I have been doing a little art while watching them and the Bucks. This above is from my art journal.  

Before the Blazers, the most basketball I watched was cleaning Saturday morning and UNLV was the team aka The Running Rebels and Tark the Shark. I had to clean the basement family room and was allowed to watch tv while cleaning. The Running Rebels seemed to always be on the TV during my cleaning time. 

Stuff You Didn't Ask About but Here is My Opinion

Put up your Christmas Tree November 1 if you feel like it.  If it makes you feel happy, do it. Lots of Instagrammers are sharing that viral Home Depot Christmas Tree.  I don't get it, but I don't need to. Check out livinwithmb - she actually cracks me up.
