At some point “hype” became a noun AND an adjective. Hardly seems fair to the other nouns.

Sue Perkins - and I say this with tremendous regard and affinity - looks like Rachel Maddow in a state of anaphylaxis.

What crafty veteran guards will be available this off-season? Doesn’t have to be very productive. Thinking about an old head we could add to be on the bench and in the ears of our young guards. Don’t say CP3, I just couldn’t do it. 🤣 #ripcity

If you’re just here to be a fan and post team-related stuff, why are you trying so hard to look like the official account? #ripcity

Have strong opinions. Don’t be a dick. It can be done. #ripcity

Toumani Camara is rightfully getting all of the love for his defense, but his sense of timing and his IQ translate on offense, too. Setting flare screens to pin a defender and create open corner threes, crashing for O boards/tip-outs, - two of a million little things he does to affect the game.

What are you wearing to Bill Walton night, #ripcity??

I’ve been in that arena, and I’d posit that says more about the crowd’s behavior than over-celebrating. The blazers as humans are vibing well right now, and that’s nothing to do with Utah. They’re in their narrative - let them celebrate. Apologies for them not slinking out of the building. #ripcity

#ditto

Damn JG on the tank train in the 4th. 👀 #ripcity

Business idea: sell beer at the jazz arena that’s packaged in Diet Coke cups. You’d make a mint. #ripcity

Neil Everett is likable enough, but I’m pretty convinced he doesn’t do a lick of preparation before walking into the studio. He just says random stuff that’s half accurate, and laughs it off like he’s charming enough to get away with it. It’d be kind of cool if he was actually invested. #ripcity

Curious: Do you expect your food delivery driver to knock/ring? I have special instructions to please not knock or ring, and they’ve been ignored a lot lately. Which begs the question, do most people want this? 🧐

The Blazers are going to GET to pay Toumani Camara so much money. #ripcity

Lakers fans courtside at the RG is the ickiest. #ripcity

#facts #ripcity

Did the #NBA just mispronounce Camara in the player announcements? Ffs. #ripcity

Can you imagine having to root for Jamal Murray? #ripcity

Ant can’t have zero-impact quarters and expect to be considered elite talent. #ripcity

Why is Deni playing hurt in garbage time? #ripcity

Knock knock who’s there #ripcity

Deni comeback game im here for it LFG #ripcity

2 defenders fully committed to Ant, and 4 blazers standing still.

…and disinterested…and listless.

Blazers look terrified and tentative. 👀 #ripcity

My theory for a couple of years has been that KC simply doesn’t want to travel anymore. Couple yrs ago when they announced the broadcast team would skip road trips, and then they quickly reversed it. I suspected he was behind that. I think he likes the idea of semi retirement. #ripcity
