If you can put aside the negative feeling that comes with losing, you can say that this was a hell of a basketball game. NBA fans with no horse in this race probably thought that it was. But, emotion is what drives us to be fans, and it's impossible, as a Blazers fan, to feel anything...

This has been said repeatedly since last night's event- there are a lot of NBA teams who would love to get close 16,500 fans to a regular-season game. Blazer fans, showing how starving they are to get a look at this team, bypassed a beautiful Sunday evening outside to flood the...
