Because the Darius Miles' e-mail was sent to the City of Seattle as well by mistake, Larry Miller forgot to take them out of his contacts once Bennett moved the team.

Re: WTF Seattle Fans? why Portland???!
lol, they'll take up probably about 50-100 people out of the 21,000+ fans there, and probably only secured seats for them being at the 300 level, thus making them inaudible and booing pointless

Why are you Portland fans so defensive? Stop trying to get everyone to like you.

Haven't Seattle fans always booed the Blazers? And vice-versa? They had a long-standing rivalry...I don't see what the big deal is.

They dont have a team anymore, so no rivalry, we and Dallas were the only two teams that supported them during their move

I think the Seattle Storm could really use Darius. Maybe they would even win more with him in the lineup than Memphis does.

They dont have a team anymore, so no rivalry
Says you. I don't much care either way, but long-time die-hard Sonics fans (who would be the ones going, presumably) may want to relive the old days by booing the Blazers. I don't see a big mystery here.

Um you guys do realize that Portland is the closest team to the Seattle region, that's the main reason why they picked Portland. Most of them will probably end up rooting for the Blazers by the end of the game, but Portland was their rival for years that's all. Its nothing political, its geographical, do you really expect them to travel to OKC or anywhere else far away to boo the team.

And I think Portland could really use some sweet grapes, because apparently, all they have right now in Portland are sour grapes.

Boo-hoo. Apparently only making jokes at Portland's expense are OK.
I thought it was funny banter and in the spirit of the thread, I am sorry you disapprove.

Seattle and Portland were rivals for a long time, and Seattle fans never have liked the Blazers.

On the other hand these guys always liked Nate and both Roy and Webster are local Seattle kids. I am sure there would be a lot of cheering for Portland from enough Seattle fans.
Hey - we all love to make fun of each other's city - but at the end of the day many Portlanders would prefer to live in Seattle than many other cities in the country and vice versa for Seattle residents.
