An End to A "Rivalry"

There was a more interesting than usual game between the Blazers and Sonics last night (ESPN). Portland lost, but I'll save the negative implications that come up when you watch your supposedly good team lose to one that is 16-54 and riding an 11 game losing streak.

No, the game was likely the last time Portland will play Seattle. I've always thought the whole I-5 Rivalry thing was an exaggeration, something that people call a rivalry just because it seems like it should be. But hearing "Save Our Sonics" chants, seeing the signs, I would miss this team being in Seattle. I will miss this team being in Seattle.

Oklahoma City...Seriously:



Just for a comparison if you need one, this is what an NBA City looks like:



Seattle to OKC. Biggest ripoff ever.
