    Who's so much of a homer they'd actually get a Blazers tattoo. That's sad!

    "We don’t have those bougie, not-into-it, wouldn’t-be-caught-dead-in-the-free-t-shirt hoops fans in Portland."

    ever sit in the front 4 rows? yeah, they are FULL of those type of people.

    for instance, i took my neice to the game against the grizzlies for her christmas present (we sat 2nd row behind the blazers bench). the people around us were all stuck up and didnt care much for the game and were on their phones for the majority of it. even the lady sitting next to her was saying to her husband (?) "oh, i guess these seats are ok....". personally, i like to sit where the fans are rowdy and passionate. we were being frowned upon for cheering, booing, clapping, etc...

    being that close is cool and all, but i probably wont sit that close again, due to the surroundings.

    This has been my experience too. Way more fun to sit up in the cheap seats.

    I know of at least 3 posters here who have a pinwheel tattoo. @KingSpeed @HCP and myself. I know @Eastoff has been giving it serious consideration.

    Is there anyone else with a Blazer tattoo that I'm leaving out?

    Right forearm below the elbow crease.

    It looks like this, sans the lettering.

    I sat in that exact row the the thrylla returned in his bucks uniform. My conclusion was the same. It was cool to see roy and miller that close, but i had always sat in the nosebleeds before and it was way more fun with all the rowdy, crazy mofos.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    McCollum said that Meyers Leonard stepped up...

    I think it's time to trade McCollum.

    You mean The HCP has a pinwheel tattoo? But I thought he was a HATER?

    under the pinwheel it says 23 wins, right? and Blazers can easily be changed to Lakers with some whiteout and a sharpie!
