My guess is that like soccer moms, we cheer regardless. We aren't going anywhere in the playoffs, but continue to cheer hard. Also, every player the Blazers draft is the next big thing. Like the kids of soccer moms. Our kid is the best.
Because he's a prick. Oh I see Weav beat me to it. He has been hating on Oden and Blazers fans for ages so he's responding to his Santa Clause sized stack of "fan mail" from all the folks in Oregon returning the hate. He's such a god damned coward he's one of the only ones on ESPN with a no comment policy. What a wuss.
He came to Portland for a book signing last year. Anybody could have showed up to tell him what a 'coward' he is. I assume that you went and gave Simmons a piece of your mind?
The posters on this board aren't like soccer moms at all. There more like a trailer park mom who sits around all day drinking cheap gin while yelling at you about how your dad left because you are too stupid to live, then puts her cigar out on your arm. Or maybe that was just my mom.
For all of you Simmons haters who think he does nothing but bag on the Blazers and felate Kevin Durant and Sam Presti, you should listen to his latest podcast. *gasp* he actually says negative things about the Thunder.
