    Clearly that's what our corporate overlords, the NORTHWEST Trailblazers want.



    Let's start calling ourselves the 6s.

    Or maybe the mods could merge the four current threads on the topic into one megathread.

    There are as many Cal fans as their are Seattle fans. We should go for the whole West Coast!

    Where are the other threads specifically talking about the Blazers courting the Seattle market?

    Am I imagining it, or is there a little bit of a Seattleist undercurrent on the board the last couple of days?

    He's spouting the same paranoid conspiracy theory in all the Mike and Mike and Calabro threads. There is nothing new in this thread that he hasn't posted a couple dozen times already in those threads.

    But if having his own thread makes him feel better that's fine. I'll ignore it. I won't see anything here I haven't already seen repeatedly in the other threads

    I mean... I don't think he's necessarily wrong.... but I think he's thinking too small. I don't think this move was done specifically to court the Seattle market. I think this move was done because they want nationally/internationally respected guys who will attract viewers from around the country/around the world. In my opinion, Seattle is small potatoes. With the internet, they can increase their market globally. And with Dame/CJ as two of the most marketable personalities in the NBA, I can see why.

    As long as this thread exists might as well say "Fuck Seattle!" When there is space on the server to hold those bits of information, it's a worthy application.

    If the city of Seattle ever needed proof we're a true "little brother " shit like this will definitely stop it

    Why is it okay for cities like Boston and New York to have a rivalry, but we can't hate Seattle? They have been our rivals for decades.

    Ducks/Huskies

    Blazers/Sonics

    Timbers/Sounders

    Why is this so hard to understand?

    We are smaller. But I don't remember a blood test desigmating us as a familial relation.

    Nothing wrong with it at all; doesn't change our little brother status. Boston is absolutely little brother to New York. St. Louis is little bro to Chicago. Cleveland is little bro to Pittsburgh. Most inter-city rivalries involve a status disparity; ours is no different.

    Bingo. As it should be. I don't know the Cascadia thing is really. Should I hate the Canucks?
