I think for halftime entertainment, we should each field our AntiFa All Stars and see which group can create more chaos. It would be a battle royale for the ages.

One more thing to consider. From our perspective, Seattle is MUCH different than Portland. However, from the view of the East Coast, we're part of their market. We support the Seahawks and the M's, why do you need two teams in the PNW? Just one out of Seattle will be fine. I'm not saying that...

Aaand I think this kind of thinking is why we'll lose the Blazers.

They're 2-3 hours away (depending on traffic). I think it would be tough to say they're competing. North Carolina is basketball crazy.

Suites. The a**es in the seats don't matter. The luxury boxes are what fund a team.

Frankly, that's my read. I hate the way owners use public funds to subsidize their businesses, but that's the market in which we compete. Given our budget deficit woes, I can't see Multnomah County or the State putting up money to help the billionaires against whom they rail.

Look at the makeup of our political leaders. Do you really think they give a rip about Portland's status as a sports town? They drove out all the corporations that actually fund franchises out of town, why not the Blazers? I actually expect them to leave. It sucks, but Portland has voted for...

It's interesting that the Carolina Hurricanes have the same colors and roughly the same logo. Moving the Blazers to Raleigh wouldn't be unreasonable.

This investigation for fixed poker games started when Chauncey was on the Clippers' staff. In other words, we're being humiliated nationally for an issue that happened under them. I hope we bury these f***ers.

Lots of good names out there. I don't think we should promote from within. It's time for a clean slate.

To me, it seemed like Minny was cruising the entire game. It felt like they were pacing themselves for a long season, not losing contact with the Blazers, then just taking the lead at the end. Perhaps I'm wrong. I loved the defensive effort, but our offensive execution was garbage at the...

Just checking in after the season opener. Anything going on? :curse:

I guess when I spoke our reserves as our "Bench Mob", I may have been hitting too close to home.

Boy, Tom Dundon must be thrilled with the results of his new investment.

It's now a race to see who will cooperate first. In any case, I would be surprised to see Billups escape prison time. He's the face of the investigation.
