    I've been guilty of hating on successful teams, regardless of character. It's been soooo long being in the front, I don't remember being hated.

    Maybe tpups, lakers?, who else's fans would hate us?

    Hatred is created during the playoffs. People might just have a curious dislike for us so far.

    Ahhhh it's been a while since we did anything worthy of hate in the playoffs. Probably why I can't remember

    Most fans of other teams like us, actually.

    I don't know about hate right now, but I think a lot of people are still doubting us. That's okay. They can doubt us all the way to the parade on SW Broadway.

    Shouldn't you be somewhere playing a dance remix of a Justin Beiber song while sipping a Zima?

    I don't think we really have any dicks on our team in the eyes of other teams and fans. I could see how Wes could get under other teams skin, but how could you not respect how hard our guys play and scrap. Kind if how I don't really think anybody hates the Spurs.

    It's true. I was thinking about that. I think our players are humble too. Gotta respect that

    no one hates spurs or pacers cause they play team ball while teams like nets, heat, knicks, lakers always try to buy championships

    I think it's more of a "Well, they'll falter" but not a "I'm so mad they are doing good".

    This. You hate some teams that are successful AND arrogant. Other teams that are successful but comport themselves professionally are respected, even feared, but not hated.

    I think fans tend to hate other teams more so due to their fan bases and how they handle success.

    Do any of you, outside of hating Kobe, actually hate the Laker players as much you hate the Laker fans?

    Not to oversell the point, but I wonder if the perceived arrogance level of a fan-base also plays a role? Lakers fans are notorious for being front-running, chest-bumping, Dude bros. If Blazers fans become that insufferable and in-the-face of other fans, then whatever good will or general indifference we enjoy now could diminish some.
