    I voted I don't give a shit... I don't actively root for any teams or players that aren't Blazers, but I root against teams. I don't want to see the Lakers (duh), Clippers (Westbrook) and Golden State (duh, Green) do anything other than get eliminated ASAP.

    Otherwise, I guess I'll root for upsets whenever they can happen if/when I watch the NBA.

    Is it football season yet?

    Sure I did. But that was decades ago and those players and teams are long gone. I still manage to dislike the Lakers, which is just about the only vestige of my general NBA fandom.

    You don't want Adebayo?

    I agree with your reasoning to root against these teams, add Philly for Embiid, the real push all your chips in dream

    Fuck em all! Most of all the Warriors for dragging us in the media the way they did. That GP2 situation might stick with me for a while, he was injured on their watch and the league should have docked them a second rounder for putting that shit out in the media when it was patently false.

    That being said, I'll be watching and hope for really competitive games and epic individual performances from anyone not on the Warriors. I hope the Warriors get blown the fuck out in the first round... like I said, still not over it.

    Exactly. I was going to post the same. Brown or Siakam would be ideal.

    Get your application in now.
    You'd be a great analyst alongside the obvious choice for announcer, jlprk.

    I don't know how I feel about that. Eugene needs to support the Duck's women's and men's teams first. Maybe Salem? Or if out of state........Boise or Seattle?

    Let Seattle be our farm team. It's only fitting.

    If it's Salem or Eugene, I'd definitely go to some games.

    I really don't feel bad for Minnesota. Anyone with half a brain could see the Gobert trade was disastrous, yet someone whose job it is to do that went through with it. They brought it upon themselves

    The Blazers want it close. Vancouver is out because of some legal issue. Clackamas, Beaverton or Hillsboro seem to be the front-runners.
