Look it's all in the name of good fun. And if anyone seriously has a problem with me poking a little fun at the Blazers they can piss off.
Look growing up outside of Seattle, I grew up not liking Portland. Portland was part of the I-5 rivalry. The only time I cheer for Portland is when they play the Lakers.
I didn't like Portland even when Kemp was there.
And I'm not going to become a Blazer fan just because my team moved away. The Blazers are not the Sonics. The Thunder are not the Sonics, but at least at one point they were the Sonics.
Let me put it like this. Say my girl friend had to move out of town for a new job. Just because she is gone doesn't mean I am going to date the only single girl in town, especially if the single girl looks like this.

To me that's ^^^^ what the Blazers look like. Sorry but until I find something better I'll just keep having an online relationship with my old GF.
Part of the ribbing I have been giving Portland fan is for all the times last year they called Durant an empty suit, or that his stats don't matter because the team is not winning.
Part of it is because Durant and Oden will always be linked together.
Part of it is because Portland was supposed to be in the Western Conf finals this year and the Thunder were supposed to be in 9th-12th best team in the West.
Part of it is because that is what these forums are for. Talk sports, talk stats and to poke a little fun if they are so sensitive about my threads maybe they should lighten up.
I wasn't doing any name calling or insulting anyone personally, it was just some friendly ribbing to have Tuesdays game bring a little more weight to it.
And of course me bumping the thread was ridiculous, but I think most people get it, but if others take it a little too personal like I just insulted their first born well..............that's their problem, maybe they should take a step back and re-evaluate things a bit.
