It’s eary Wednesday morning as I write this and as the Blazers sleep off a 138-117 loss to the Pelicans in the comfort of their Memphis hotel, I am currently waiting in Houston for my flight to southwest Tennessee.
Over the past 30 hours I spent time exploring the Big Easy, a stretch capped off by that second-half meltdown against the Pelicans. Despite the loss, I now see why so many people — sports fans or not — enjoy traveling to the Bayou to take in a game.
I've written in-arena reports in the past, but this season I want to take you, the fan, with me as I document my experience on the Blazers’ two-game southern road swing while hopefully giving an insight on what it’s like to be on the road to watch the Blazers.
