You guys talk about LA like they're actually relevant now. This team will be led by a rapidly declining Gasol, decrepit Nash, and a chucker in Nick Young for much of this season. Who cares about them? That said, their longest finals drought ever is shorter than our active playoff series win drought. ugh. Is 01-present the worst stretch in POR history?
I have gotten comfortable with the fact that the L*kers never stay bad for long. And when I expect them to be bad, they're almost always better than I think they'll be. Man, I effing hate that team.
I think most of my hatred for teams like the Yankees, Knicks, and Lakers originates with the fans. They are so entitled. They think every player wants to take a paycut to play for them, they spread from city to city like a virus, and they are so used to being coddled by the refs that they whine like no tomorrow when a call goes against them.
Bingo. I came to the Blazers naturally (growing up in PDX), but my love for the Skins and Red Sox are primarily due to my hatred for the Cowboys and Yankees. Of course, now the Skins and Red Sox both spend and act like the Cowboys and Yankees, so I may have to switch again.
Yeah...... Red Sox fans, and New England/Boston fans in general, are quickly achieving supreme douche status. The Cubs are always available though...
Don't get that sense from NYK fans at all. There's a fine line between whiny and passionate, and they're more like us than LAL fans.
