Who Should We Root For: Volume 2
Let’s just simply measure this in degrees of Rudy Pain™.
The Orlando Magic
This was horrible, but the pain was merely psychological and existential. It made you question why you watch basketball afterward, and left a cloud of feeling inadequate over the Blazers blogosphere, but it never actually caused anyone I know of serious pain. Still, that walk out of the Rose Garden was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt. The maximum amount of Rudy Pain™ inflicted by this would probably be the equivalent of someone passing gas in his face. Sure it sucks, but the feeling lasts no longer than a few minutes.
The Los Angeles Lakers
That’s a carried out on a stretcher degree of Rudy Pain™. Damn Lakers. No real Portland fan will be rooting for the Lakers during this series. Unless you love the Floptastic Four of Gasol, Vujacic, Fisher, and, uh, Luke Walton? Damn, the Floptastic Four is a better nickname when a team actually has four legit floppers. Oh well, hate Kobe, Portland fans!
