A ton of heart out there but Kanter takes the cake. 56 minutes with those injuries? As much love as he gets we’re STILL underselling that dude’s lion-hearted fortitude.
Blazers teeing this up for just one guy to fall on sword which is bullsh. Stotts firing is warranted. But in last 9 years he was given ONE All-Star with a vastly overvalued/overpaid wingman, all undersized guards, ONE good wing (Covington) and injury-prone bigs.
Wanted to pass along how much
@Big_Suke
and I are really enjoying doing shows right now. We feel like we’re actually doing some good for people as a mild (and mindless) diversion. It’s challenging, fun and rewarding all in one. Thank you!
Here’s what happens if Blazers stick w Olshey: 1) marginal moves he’ll try to sell as significant through media shills 2) Fans bite after beating up bad teams and resting stars 3) Rd1 exit 4) excuses & deflection. Rinse/repeat. You and Lillard don’t deserve that again.
Damian Lillard has done his part and now Blazers management finally doing theirs. This is what Lillard’s been asking for and deserves. Upside far greater now and most balanced roster of his era.
Anyone who follows the Blazers should have zero doubt they’ll raise your hopes sky high at least once more before ripping your hearts out in the playoffs yet again. It’s what they do.
Headed on vacation. Back 12/26. Love me some

. Twas another GREAT year in the ratings (our best yet). Thank you! You are loved. 🤟
Like Blazers, Toronto is good.
Like Blazers, Toronto isn’t winning anything as constructed.
Unlike Blazers, Toronto admits this and is willing to roll dice trading excellent player to acquire a top-5 guy.
Novel. If only...
Hey look if the silver lining of this series is a better and more confident Meyers Leonard, that’s fantastic. Conveniently just in time for a contract year!
Criticism is part of owning a team. Even with warranted criticisms of
@PaulGAllen
over the years, the underlying theme was always Portland is supremely lucky to have him.
Jodie Allen needs to go get a GM with some balls and let them take the swing to salvage Lillard’s prime. Touch it off with a coach who can provide even a modicum of defense.
Calculated, deflective and guarded press conference. Blazers always undusting their true colors. Very weak. And quite disappointing Jody Allen nowhere to be found.
If UO wants to be great, it has to recognize shortcomings regardless of ego, haste, philosophy, continuity or loyalty. This should be demonstrated by a change at OC this off-season.
To be fair, Pritchard said he felt Durant would win multiple scoring titles...while ignoring all red flags from Oden physicals. I didn’t help here did I?
Man, I love me some
@blazermb
. He’s landed on his feet after Blazers did him dirty. Here he talks
#MLB2PDX
& reminisces about NBA days. Good strong listen:
It’s incredible the Blazers are as good as they are considering what they have on the wing. Just once would like to see these guards with a difference-maker out there.
Lost in the hubub of P12 Media Day was this photo I captured of the rare $1000 leather bag owned by noted rich guy
