never fear the blazers are here!

by ryansunsfan on Apr 6, 2009 3:23 AM MDT

yes, we got eliminated from the playoff race (not yet officially, but 99.9% chance), so now what? do we cry at home and stop watching basketball until next season? hell no! lets find a second team to root for, one which has done us no harm (lakers, spurs - burn in hell). what better team than the blazers? after all, sergio rodriguez and rudy fernandez should have been our players anyway (sad but true). so lets jump on the blazers bandwagon, after all dont you miss our suns of never getting over the hump after getting our hopes up? lets go blazers!

well actually

I like the hornets very much, and out east: the heat and pistons (for wade and AI) and boston (and one more thing: I’ve been supporting them since 98, just like the suns. fuck bandwagoneering)

I'm a fan of the phoenix suns.

Not so much the rest of NBA.

it1s a bit different for me

I’m from middle-Europe it’s easier to bond to more teams, for some reason or other (like players and such)

I can't cheer for them, either

I hold a grudge from the early 90s

Mmmmm ... Guinness

funny - I've always felt the same way about the Suns

those early 90’s playoff series were pretty intense.

sorry about the way the season ended – I hope it all shakes out well for you in the offseason

that's a tough one...

in the west:

Lakers, Spurs- out of the question
Denver- Camelo’s a Punk and after Nene and his headbutt, I just can’t do it ( on another note, isn’t this guy one of LB’s best friends?? wtf…)
New Orleans- not too bad..exciting ball,but with injuries etc, I don’t have high hopes
Utah- kind of impartial..no jerks on the team, and It;d be cool to see Sloan finally get it
Portland-fun young team to watch, fans are not too annoying
Dallas-1st round fodder, not worth the emotional investment
Houston- hmm it’s hard to root for Ronnie, but everyone else is not too bad..

so I guess it comes down to utah or portland for me..in the east it’s gotta be 1. Boston, my 2nd favorite team 2. Charlotte ( if they can sneak in ) because that way, at least a couple suns will make it in and 3. Cleveland, not because I like them, but because a strong east is the only safeguard against a Laker Championship, which I can’t bear to see. Kind of like allying with the Soviet Union to take down the Nazis…

Exactly...

Boozer is ruthless, he lied to a blind guy, Gordon Gund, former owner of the Cavs, then took the money to come to Utah. Screw Utah! I’m cool with either Portland, New Orleans, maybe even Houston or Denver, but the rest them can go to hell.

From the East, it won’t matter, cuz Cleveland is winning the East going away.
