    It's the only chance ANY male sports team in this state will ever have of winning a title in any sport ever, so it's worth something.

    A town of two million people getting exited about a bantam hockey team is an insult. The difference in play between that and the NHL is farther apart than the MLS and the EPL. We should have had a real hockey team ten years ago.

    Well that sucked. Lillard really seemed out of it after his hand got hurt.
    I was really pissed at the refs but now that I think about it even though the Spurs got away with tons of contact everytime we drove to the rim I was pissed at how many layups and shots at the rim we missed.

    I'm pretty sure they are above the bantam level... they are a rung below the NHL.

    Also, the Hillsboro Hops have won two titles. They are men.And stuff.

    You can quantify all you want, but a championship is a championship, bar none.

    WHL is more like NCAAF to NFL. Comparing MLS to any euro league soccer is a joke. That's like comparing your states best 1a football team to the Patriots imo

    True, but you could see he was deferring at the end out of necessity; he'd never let himself score under 27 unless he was in serious pain out there.

    Eh. I consider the women's roller derby win bigger than that. That is impressive. Portland is where sports ideas go to die.

    The missed FTs and not really wanting to take jump shots in the 4th is what was noticeable. He played a good game just thought he was bothered by his hand.

    It's all the damn Commies! Lol

    But seriously Portland just seems like the wannabe cool nerd kid who refers to athletics as "sportsball"

    I mean it's definitely different though. The Timbers are in the best league in their sport in this country. Can't say that about the Winterhawks or Hops.

    There are some leagues in Europe which are much worse than the MLS. It's like comparing dried turds. But I will always stand up to the anti soccer crowd. It is what it is.

    I thought that, too. I understand the Spurs play good defense. I understand they don't like to foul. But they do foul.

    One thing I noticed tonight: I always appreciated the Spurs team play. My respect for them made it hard for me to not like them. Seeing LA on that team, now I don't like them.

    Thats pretty much how I feel. I really like the Spurs. Seeing LA in a Spurs uniform in the Rose Garden and now I hate them.
