Get to the hotel about 3-4 hours before game time and just wait where you see everyone else waiting.

I wouldn't waste my time with the heat, they are terrible at both the hotel and game.

Has anyone been to a Timberwolves game? Does Kevin Love and/or Michael Beasley come out and sign inside the arena? Or who usually comes out and signs in the arena for the t-wolves? Any help is much appreciated thaanks!

Last year the Timberwolves were great in NJ. I got multiples of almost everyone. Johnny Flynn, Kevin Love, and the rest were all great. Michael Beasley when he was with the Heat was very hit or miss, def. one per if he does it and not the most friendly guy.

going to the sixers trailblazers game tonight, I got the whole team last time EXCEPT the 3 I wanted- iguodala, brand, and turner. Hopefully tonight goes better. My buddy that I'm going with has never graphed before but he is a Portland fan and I'm going to show him what to do.

Here's hoping for back to back great success nights (Eagles signing last night went great!).

Copied from my "success" thread

Another awesome night in person at the 76ers game. This really has been a hot streak for the ages.

I get there early when the gates open and make a mad dash for the 76ers shooting around on the court. I am depressed because Brand and Turner, two of the good signers I came to get, aren't warming up, and only Nocioni and Iguodala (the jerk who never signs) were working out. Well to my astonishment after workouts Iguodala stopped and signed for everyone there (like 4-5 people) and even posed for a picture with a little kid.



My friend who I was with was a big Portland fan, and he was by their tunnel. So I ran over to show him the Iguodala. To my astonishment again, at the exact moment that I got over to show him the autograph, Andre Miller the former 76er on portland was signing! Talk about the right place at the right time.



Right after this the usher came by to throw us out. I saw Eric Snow, former player and current announcer, about 20 feet away on the court. I say to the usher "Cmon man I'm trying to get Snow right there!" He's like, "Snow is going the other way you're never going to get him, and you have to get out of here and get to your seat." Then he paused and said "Here give it to me and I'll get it for you." And with that, he walked out to Eric Snow, waited patiently until he finished his conversation (about 5 minutes) got the auto and walked back and gave it to me. WOW an usher assist, the rarest of all possible autographs...



So with that the game started. Sixers rally from 8 points down at one point to win by 8, great game. I had a lot of work to do tonight when I got home, so I almost didn't go to the parking lot. However since it was nice out and since they won, I decided to go to the parking lot. Hey, I have to press my hot streak, right?

So I go there and Elton Brand promptly blows past us in his Gold Mercedes without stopping. Andre Iguodala followed shortly thereafter in his Land Rover.

We got some mediocre successes- Nocioni and Spencer Hawes stopped (all awkward white guys look the same). Also, Lou Williams pulled over in his SWEET ferrari.



Suddenly, 2 black SUVs blew past us. The kid near me said Evan Turner drove a black SUV. However one of the SUVs instead of exiting the stadium instead moved to the front door of the stadium and waited. The kids near me took off running hoping that it was Evan Turner. I followed. When we got there Thaddeus Young rolled down the window and signed for us, saying that we chased him down so we deserved his auto.

We were depressed though because we thought that Evan Turner left in that 2nd black SUV. We were just about to pack up shop when a car pulls up, another big SUV. The window rolls down. Jrue Holliday says "hey" to us. And what's more, the kid near me yells "look in the passenger seat!" I look and see EVAN TURNER sitting in the passenger seat. They were blasting rap with 3 girls in the back, but they signed for all of us- 1 auto each.



Turner has an awesome Sig!

Wow I am so glad I went to the parking lot, and so glad that we waited for that last SUV!



Thaddeus Young, Jrue Holliday and Lou Williams on the same card from the encounters above.

I want to graph the Knicks. I live in NY, so getting to the Garden is no problem for me. Anyone ever try graphing at the Garden and are the Knicks a good team to graph?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

i have no specific knowledge of MSG but my advice would be get there early when the doors open and run like hell to the knicks tunnel, and then as they finish individual workouts they will sign on the way back (that's what most NBA teams seem to do).
