Made it up to The Palace again last night to finally try at the Seattle SuperSonics. This is only my 2nd time ever I have attempted this team. Last time I tried to do this team was down in Orlando just over 2 years ago. That last time I did them it was a disaster at the hotel down there since it rained that day and all that. When it was all said and done, that is when I figured out how bad the Orlando Arena was for graphs. That's a story for another day obviously.
Well last night basically was known as the Kevin Durant party. So far the Durant party from what I heard has been good about signing inside the arena at other cities which is a help since that Seattle stayed at the hotel where they do not allow autographs at. Even though Seattle stayed there, I did find out that 3 people did sneak on to that hotel property last night to try for Durant and all 3 did get them but not almost without incident though where the hotel staff threatened to call the cops on them and all that. So with hearing about that, here is how I did with them up at the game here:
Pistons vs. SuperSonics 3/4/08
Nick Collison 2 cards (He is usually a one per guy. If you ask him in a polite manner, he will do 2 for you no problem.)
Francisco Elson 5 cards
Mickael Gelabale 2 cards
Jeff Green 5 cards
Johan Petro 2 cards
Earl Watson 1 card
Chris Wilcox 2 cards
Michael Wilks 2 cards
Damien Wilkins 1 card
Scott Brooks 9 cards ("Why do you still have all these cards of me??? I did not have that great of a playing career. I am amazed anyone still has my cards. You don't want to remember me back in my playing days kid.")
Mark Bryant 5 cards (Had help on this one.)
Paul Westhead 6 cards

Kevin Durant 1 ESPN The Magazine cover, 1 Beckett Basketball Plus Magazine cover!!!!!! (Here is how it all went down with Durant up here; As he was coming out to do warmups, he started to sign on my end and I was one of the lucky 4 to get one of his autos as he was coming out for warmups. When he got done with warmups, he was doing one per for everyone on down the line here. So I got another magazine cover out there and he did it with no problem. So overall, I was one of the lucky 4 people at this game to get 2 autos out of Durant up at the arena here no problem!!!)
Alright that is all I have to share here result wise from this game. Driving back to my dorm room here was a challenge as it took me about 3 hours to get back since I ended up driving in a winter storm warning. That was not to much fun but I had the car in 1st gear driving all the way back and I did make it back safely thank God. I knew that Michigan was going to get a winter storm this week but I did not expect it to come so quickly as I thought it was for later in the week. Oh well but at least I left the game early so I did not get back to the dorm here to late last night.
Next up for me is suppose to be the Chicago Bulls this Sunday but I will take a pass on them since I hear they are becoming a hard team to do now. I did decide that I will head back to Fort Wayne for another D-League game next week so that I can clean up on some more D-League stuff I have left for those guys. Otherwise thanks alot for looking at this thread and I will look forward to all of your comments!!!
Next up for me: D-League next week; Fort Wayne Mad Ants vs. Anaheim Arsenal 3/13/08
