I'll start off by saying ... well, everybody wants to know about the 50-point game. You know, I didn't get the 50 I promised myself and my lovely fans.

So, I'm 1-for-2. I'm 1-for-2 on my predictions. I can actually live with that.

1-for-2 this season when you say you're going to score 50 on somebody. One team you got it against, the other team, well they watched that other team get 50 so they're not going to have that.

They played a great game. They played me tough. They was into it. It was actually playoff basketball for the most part. The fans were into it. They were into more than both teams I think. That energy from when I touched the ball to when they called my name, you know, "Boooooooo!"

I even made bets. I made bets with two people. One person said, "I guarantee you ain't gonna score 50, I bet you $10!" So I bet one guy $10 on that one, and I bet another guy $10, I said, "If it comes down to the last shot, I'm going to hit the game winner."

I owe two people $10, and they actually gave me their e-mail addresses so they'll get it.

That was the loudest arena that I've been to all season, and it's not even the playoffs. That was the loudest arena in probably a decade for a regular season game.

Before that day I made that prediction, I don't think anybody knew who I was in Portland. So by me saying I was going to score 50, about 14,000 people showed up on a Tuesday night.

The same thing happened in Washington. The game wasn't even televised, but everybody in Washington showed up for the game. Because I said I was going to score 50, that many people showed up to boo and to witness.

It was funny, I was sitting on the bench and a fan said, "Arenas, you suck!" and I started laughing. I was like, "Man, but you came here to see me score 50, because I know you aren't here for the Blazers!" And he started laughing too and was like, "Well maybe you're right."

It's kind of funny people are there to see you score 50, and the other people claim they don't want you to get it, but at the end of the day they all want to see you score 50. They're just there to enjoy the game. It was a hype game and they wanted to be there.

You know, I've been making predictions for myself since I can remember
