    Yeah, it's nice that this guy thinks the Blazers have the second best fan base in the NBA, but he's just some random Jazz fan, not a professional journalist. Bleacher Report uses unpaid fan "writers" to generate content. You or I could have written the same article and it would have been better written and more credible. This was the author's first article for Bleacher Report. It's filled with unobjective personal bias. He's a Jazz fan and he wrote an article about how great Jazz fans are. Gee there's a surprise. If you read the comments section, he's also very unprofessional (calls someone a "punk") - which makes sense, because he's NOT a professional journalist. I wonder how many of the 30 NBA arenas he's actually attended games at. I'm guessing very few. I think he's just summarizing 2nd, 3rd and 4th hand info he's read elsewhere and as an unpaid amateur, didn't do much, if any, 1st hand research.

    Why are you laughing? Didn't Clyde leave before the Rose Garden opened? It's an honest question. Answer please?

    And BNM, why trash that guy? Just because someone isn't getting paid, doesn't mean he has nothing interesting to say. I thought it was a well put together article with lots of facts about team's attendance records and fun video clips.

    What a weird Blazer lineup. No wonder they lost the first game in Grizzly history.

    Kings fans are like Mae West. "When I'm good I'm very good. When I'm bad, I'm very bad."
