    Wow, the NBA is going to allow them to wear a jersey that says "Rip City"? Maybe we should get one that says "Clutch City" though there is nothing too clutch about us.

    Dangit. Where's our "clutch city" jerseys? Those would have been insanely popular.

    It makes a lot more sense for us. 'Clutch City' is has significant meaning to the team and the city. I've never heard of Rip City and I'm sure a lot of people from Portland haven't either.

    The nickname Rip City is usually used in the context of the city's NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers.[11] The term was coined by the team's legendary play-by-play announcer Bill Schonely during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Blazers' first season.[12] In a recurring segment on Comcast SportsNet Northwest, Schonely explained that a three-point play by Blazers' player Jim Barnett caused the net on the basket to rip. Schonely exclaimed "Rip City!" at the sight, and a member of his broadcasting team urged him to run with that as a rallying cry for the young team

    Don't like it at all. The sound of the net?

    Funny thing is, I bet most nba fans dont associate clutch city with the rockets or rip city with portland. Clutch city died in blaze of smiling dildos and pin-stripes
