    How someone can be from the Northwest and not be rooting for the Zags is beyond me. Especially with a Sabonis doing work.

    A Portland boy as the leading scorer. Gotta love it.

    I'm surprised Oklahoma has made it this far. I thought for sure they'd be bounced early, Buddy Hield is one hell of a player.

    You always posting about anything and everything Gonzaga probably doesn't endear them to people on this board. For me, I'm rooting for them to make the final four, but there's just other teams I like more. Kinda like saying people should root for Eastern Washington because its PNW. Yeah, there's proximity, but it doesn't necessarily mean you need to care, let alone root for them.

    This

    I find it odd that some people say that they should cheer for all PNW teams in this situation or that, but then if Seattle cheers for Portland in a sport (Like the Blazers) or Portland cheers for Seattle in a sport (Mariners or Seahawks) Then they are "fairweather" and should "root for someone else."

    Right? However I will never root for a Fuskies team no matter what. Not even if Brandon Roy Jr plays for them.

    Yeah, see that's different. That's a rivalry. Portland doesn't have a baseball team or football team, so in essence, they are a "free agent". With basketball, I can kinda understand if Seattle wants to hold a grudge on Portland because they had a rivalry when the supersonics were there, but they themselves are "free agents".

    I don't think Seattle gives a flying fuck about the NBA. If we're being truly honest NFL and MLB are better overall products and Seattle has two really good teams (three if you count MLS as a major sport). Portland would be fucked if we didn't have the Blazers though...

    I have a bunch of acquaintances in Seattle that love bball. They still follow Okc some, but more or less are just fans of the nba now and watch players they like. They don't really seem to care about Portland or Aldridge or lillard.

    I will never root for anything from Seattle. The town is over 100 miles away. And I remember growing up when Don James was at UW and Husky fans treated Oregon fans like dogshit. There has always been a cultural rivalry between the two cities. They probably view having to watch the the Trail Blazers as "beneath" them. Screw the Huskies. Screw the Hawks. And Screw the Mariners. Have fun losing to Ducks next year, Fuskies.
