Blazers Tweet Beat: Hoods up Edition

Posted immediately before OKC took the floor in Portland on Tuesday

The Blazers are becoming an increasingly Twitter friendly bunch. The Blazer Tweet Beat highlights the Blazer tweets you may have missed if you are too smart to waste all of your time on Twitter. Then, for no reason, a winner is chosen. Make sure to follow us @pdxroundball.

It’s been a while, and we know you’ve been feeling neglected. But rest assured: We’re back on the Tweet Beat.

Without Patty Mills to keep the players focused on Tweeting, the pickings are slim. Thankfully Blazers owner Paul Allen upped his Tweet game and kicked off the week, live Tweeting James Cameron’s solo submarine mission to the deepest point on earth. Seriously.

 @paulgallen: Arrived Guam. Hope to see James Cameron’s #DeepChallenge make 2nd dive ever to bottom of the Pacific’s Mariana Trench. Not done since ’60.

@paulgallen:#deepchallenge sub in the water dive commencing in 10 minutes! Good luck to James Cameron!

@paulgallen: James Cameron now the deepest solo diver in history, 3rd deepest ocean diver ever…25550 ft.

Nolan Smith and I both enjoy hush puppies:

@ndotsmitty: What restaurant am I eating at in Portland. Good luck. Lol. Follow @deucebrand to win.

@ndotsmitty: Ding ding!!! Winner RT @crazietalker: @NdotSmitty screen door

Matthews and Aldridge posted the following photos:

Eliot Williams almost had the week locked up with this one:

@ewill901: I wonder of the girl from “Coming to America” is still barking on one leg

But Craig Smith came through with the Winner for the week:

@csmeezy1: Headed into the @OregonZoo to catch up with a fello rhino.

You can, of course, follow the endlessly charming and witty PRS crew: Rob @futurehorse, Sean @shighkinNBA, Erik @ErikCAnderson, Maddison @maddisonbond, Scott @scottleedy, and myself @pdxlex. The venerable Andrew Tonry’s thoughts cannot be limited to a paltry 140 characters, so he abstains.
