Actually TBF, we are very different from what I've experienced. I've lived in 2 other NBA cities and I can assure you diehard fans in other towns rarely know or care about the end of the bench guys. Here, fans are obsessed. Believe me, it very noticeable.

Out of Curiosity what cities? I think Portland is unique in that we are one sports city (no offense intended towards the timbers), but when I've traveled around and listened to sports radio I have heard quite a bit of oh why isn't this guy playing more type of stuff.
