Just here to be like the cool kids.

Catch me talking Trail Blazers on Rip City Radio 620

Blazers Gameday: 2hrs prior to tipoff!
The 5th Quarter after every game!
Courtside Monday - Every Monday from 6-7


Rip City, baby!
Welp, that might be the worst loss of the season so far. A game where the Blazers just stepped on their own toes over and over again.

Missing 20 free throws combined over the last two games is just brutal, too.

This one should sting in that locker room.

Blazers score a season low 37 points in the first half.
It's first time all year they have been held below 40pts in either half.

The Blazers somehow managed to have a worse 1stQ than they did against Toronto. Brutal.

My guess is that Deni wouldn't have played both games of the B2B, so they sat him tonight. Rob sits tomorrow, as he always does, and they play Deni.

Easier to have one guy out instead of two, if you can help it... Plus I hope Deni gets a chance to go off against his former team, too.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

10-6, Toronto with 5:55 left in the 1Q. Real barn burner.
Teams a combined 6-28.
Buckle up.

We're about to set an NBA record for overturned calls here

This crew is so bad 😂
January 23, 2026 at 3:58 AM
Ok, refs have corrected the call. How do you go to review, get it wrong, then have to correct yourself again. Took a review of a review to get the right call 😆

That ball was touching Bam while he was out of bounds... What I am missing????

All-Star weekend should just be a who's who of NBA halftime legends.

Let Scooby 360 dunk, then bring out Red Panda! She can throw one of her plates up to The Amazing Sladek while he balances on his chairs!

Splitter on Scoot: "He's progressing. Everybody's a little frustrated, but it's a tough injury where people tend to have a second injury. So we've got to be careful with him. He's a big part of our franchise, so we've got to protect him. He's feeling better day by day."
Scoot Henderson was running full-court sprints at the end of practice today. Tiago Splitter says he’s improving but they’re trying to be careful and avoid re-injury.

Blazers 0-6 from 3 in the 3rdQ. 6-29(20.5%) for the game. That has really been the major game breaker tonight.

Big ovation for CJ McCollum as enters the game.

Jrue Holiday graduated from the Steve Blake school of passing up on a layup to kick the ball out instead.
