RIP Gene Hackman 🫡 There’s no better basketball coach in movie history than Norman Dale.

Shaedon Sharpe dunks but they get increasingly more unbelievable 🤯 youtu.be/j8-cAjFIY7E

It’d be a bigger crime than LeBron not doing the dunk contest. Next year, @nba.com

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Fascinated by the Blazers’ decision to still be going all-in for wins, playing a short rotation and giving Jerami 35+ minutes. They’re in this weird middle ground of being outside of the last play-in spot and now way too far from getting high lottery odds.

Cobra Kai is so good. Just the perfect ending to a 40-year story arc, and all the callbacks to the original movies were done so well. Such a great franchise.

I've assumed Toumani's ceiling is simply as a role player. An All-NBA Defense type player and anything you get on offense is bonus. But now, not so sure. I think that ceiling can be bumped up higher. He's real, real good.

Chauncey's Blazers owning the largest margin of victory, plus some of the largest margins of defeat, in franchise history is quite the accomplishment.

The basketball gods will remember this year's Blazers not going full tank mode and will reward them with a top lottery pick. Karma is on their side.

This is an ass whoopin'. Wow.

Need to see Bryce and Sidy get called up to play for the Blazers soon.

That’s quite the play the Blazers drew up needing a 3. Ends with JG freestyling in the post and gets stripped 😂😂

omg jerami

Literally every Oregonian -- all 4 million + going back generations -- has a photo just like this, i.e. beanie, Haystack Rock, hoodie, sometimes a cup of coffee nearby, and it is usually taken at some point in your 20s. The real dramatics have it taken in their teens. It rocks.

Of all places in the world, Jerami Grant spent his All-Star weekend at the Oregon Coast. Dude has become a true Oregonian. Respect ✌🏼

Would love to see a blowout W by our Blazers tomorrow night. #BeatLA

LOLakers 😂

🔥🔥🔥 Love to see upgrades happening.

Hello! Broke down some Deni Avdija tape and explained why he's been one of the most fun breakout guys in the league over the last two or so months after getting his feet settled in Portland. Power wing, super strong, super physical. Good defender. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O892...

So many gimmicks. Just give us basketball.

Shaedon, it’s your time up next 🤞🏼

Hard to see the Blazers ever topping '91. 3 All-Stars (Clyde, Terry, Duck). The entire coaching staff on the West team. Best record in the league at the time.

BRYCE FOR THE WIN 🤯

Anyone who’s been to a Remix game knows he’s too good for the G League.

Bryce deserves a spot on the big league club. Dude can ball, for real.

In the past year, Toumani Camara and Scoot Henderson have shared a vision. “We are going to be great together … and we are going to do it here, in Portland,’” Henderson said. On an important friendship fueling the Blazers’ rebuild: www.nytimes.com/athletic/613...

Clingan with 17 and 20 against Jokic is nice to see. He's the real deal. He can handle those minutes.

That 10 of 11 streak was fun and was valuable experience for the young guys. This team needed something like that. But these injuries should make the decision easier to play it safe with an eye toward the lottery now.

DB doing that talkin'. Didn't know he had that in him.

Great ad from Nike "So Win"

That was a good learning experience for the Blazers. You can't let up, especially on the road. All part of the process. At least we can finally watch these games and analyze what went right or wrong.

Jerami Grant ... two costly turnovers down the stretch.
