yesterday was raining harder than i've ever seen it in NY. just coming down, thunder, lightning, it was bad. i had two friends who came over, walked in drenched, and said "there's no way we're going back out there." so we just watched it at my place. but i'm planning on going this weekend.
In my 13-year exerience living in NYC, it was difficult to even find a person that knew who the Portland Trailblazers were, let alone where Portland "Oregon" was located! I once had a guy (quite seriously) ask me if my folks still sat on the porch at night playing the banjo? Those NY'ers "in the know" however - still today, I'm sure - will say something along the lines of, "Yeh, the Blazers are tough - and that Drexler guy can play!" Oh well..... Best of luck finding a bar devoted to watching Blazer games in New York!
