I think they've won exactly as many titles in that span as Portland has: a whopping, uh, zero.

Pot, meet kettle.

I was hoping for the Knicks to get the No. 1 or 2 but eh Ill take number 9 . Surprised the Jailblazers won but thats the way the balls drop.

All I'm saying is that the Portland Trailblazers is not a big time franchise and a small and not very popular franchise.. I'm not insulting the Blazers, just stating the facts.. I would have rather seen Oden go to a team like Boston or an Eastern Conference team.. And also, I'm trying to make sense out of what you are typing, but some of it is just incoherent. As for the Philly rep, despite personally not being a huge fan of Phila teams, we are some of the best fans out there and have the most devotion.

Oden! Guide our ships
Our axes, spears, and swords
Guide us through storms that whip
And in brutal war!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Too much Amon Amarth for me. Anyway, Portland's quite the up-and-coming team now. They've got a nice and loyal fanbase, they deserve something good for sitting through the past five years or so of awfulness. And the East gets more bad luck. Poor Boston.

Philly fans are cool. Santa gets a free pass way too often. One year he brought me Bad Boys II. Boo!!!

Portland has a fine NBA tradition. That stoner Walton, in his only useful NBA season as a starter led them to a title. The Drexler-Porter-Kersey, what's a Duckworth, teams got to a finals and would have won another but for some guy wearing #23. They filled the rose mGarden for years. Not everything has to be about big markets. As an Irishman, I love to see Boston stink. It's what they get for misspelling and mispronouncing Kelts. And Oden is just a moose at this point. Don't promote him to Karl Malone yet.

Memphis is officially a dead franchise
