    Wish I could be there to greet them and applaud.

    I expect it will be a huge turnout. :cheers:

    Homecoming? They just got their asses handed to themselves. Blown the fuck out 2 out 6 games. Homecoming, my ass. I thought the pre-playoff rally was a bit much (I mean, for finally making the playoffs? Really?) Now you want to greet and applaud them for losing?

    Man, we're so past that.

    No homecoming for getting beat in 6 games when you have home court advantage.

    Sorry. I remember when this team was a proud franchise. Time to raise your expectations.

    Yeah, I agree. I can't believe people expect us to support anything but a championship. We all expected way more of this team, this year, and the only reason we should show would be to boo them. I may tell people I'm a fan of the Blazers, but really I just love to be that bitter and angry guy who isn't ever happy. Screw the airport.

    We overachieved during the regular season. We underachieved during the playoffs.

    Maybe I was a bit harsh, but I'll stick by my initial convictions that showing up to the airport after the team got killed in an elimination game is tacky. It reflects on our low expectations, more than anything.

    Coming into the season? A low playoff seed, and quick first round exit.
    After we clinched home court? A first round victory, or at least a highly competitive series.

    Yeah, because the Blazers just got blown out, let's not pay them our respect. Let's let them know that we won't have any more damn parades until a championship comes. You guys just lost a series? We're not going to welcome you back until you come back with some rings.

    We're supposed to be loyal fans, not just fans when they're winning. Gotta stick through the thick and thin.

    Didn't we do that at the pre-playoff rally?

    Guess I'm just out of the loop on this kinda thing.

    I don't see how not doing such a thing would reflect on fans' loyalty.

    Good, so they surpassed your expectations. That should be impressive to you.

    You do realize that if you keep raising your expectations as the team surpasses expectations, the team could never do anything but disappoint, right?

    :sigh:true.

    But that kind of attitude usually keeps me striving for more. And leaves me as the ultimate pessimist.
