Every year, once the Blazers are out of it, I pick a new team to root for so that the NBA is still interesting to me. Last year, I picked Dallas and after they were swept, I picked OKC. Since we're out of it now, I'll go with Houston. They're entertaining and I like Jeremy Lin. So go Rockets! Maybe next year, Blazers!
You can thank Kevin McHale. As the board's best talent-spotter, I was extolling him as our next Head Coach when everyone had written him out of the league.
Do it, man! Start going to their road games too! Maybe you'll curse them just as badly as you cursed us and we'll sneak into the playoffs.
I like the aggressive moves the Rockets are making. I'm interested in watching them too. Maybe the Blazers can poach Asik if the Rockets get Howard in the offseason.
I root for the Blazers to the end. But if I had to pick a second team, Kenneth Faried is my new BFF so Denver.
I was always a big fan of his. As a GM and a coach, he was solid. He gets so much crap from the fanbase here when he put together 2 very good trios.
