We message board vets had some great 'battles' with both Laker and Jazz fans back in the late '90s/early '00s. After that, when you aren't in the playoffs, other fanbases tend to forget about you. If the Blazers continue to play elite, get ready for the DaRizzles, the Basels, and others to gravitate toward this board. Some people are just naturally attracted to post on the boards of opposing teams that have a shot. When you become irrelevant, you lose the outsider perspective, so the angst turns inward with Blazer poster battling Blazer poster. It's predictable, actually. Most of us here like to argue, and when you're a McCoy and can't argue with any Hatfields because they're gone, you start arguing with your fellow McCoys.
