It wouldn’t be a Blazer game if it wasn’t a close game

Blazers can’t stand prosperity! But their depth will win out. Shaedon and Scoot should be fresh in the 4th quarter.

Spurs only down 6 without Wemby and bench being outscored 20-5. I don't know if they can come back but I can't believe they're only down a few

San Antonio will hang around, but I think Portland can keep up the pressure. Entertaining game!

Basketball announcers always love hard fouls. Yeah, easy for you to say! That shit HURTS! 😅

Blazers shooting 36% from the field….Spurs are 57%. This isnt sustainable. #ripcity

I’m a big Jack Ryan fan, but I just cannot buy Jim from The Office running special ops.

Seems like a hot start for Portland, but only a two-point lead. If they can keep up that effort and energy though, Blazers can take this one. Scott and Deni are both finding their way into the paint.

looks like they let Bruce Ely come to this one

I am enjoying this Amazon “pre-game” before the Blazers game. No studio show, just drone shots of downtown followed by the player-arrival fashion show in the tunnels.

I hope those are big enough to fold into a Sumo Mawashi

No Wemby for the Spurs tonight, per Mitch Johnson’s pregame. Well then.

I like Wemby and want him to have a long career because I enjoy watching him play, but part of me feels like “Ohhh no, your generational big man got injured? Wow, tell me more.”

It's a good thing he caught a nap on camera earlier in the day, sleeping through a meeting in the White House so he could be well rested for his actual job of "night shift internet grandpa"

Really need the Knicks to get bounced in the first round so they panic trade for Giannis and fuck their team up for a decade.

I hope to hear a “Pay Tiago” chant on Friday

BREAKING: Due to cost cutting measures by Tom Dundon the Rose Quarter is being renamed to the Rose Nickel.

So the owner of the Suns, the Cavs, and Trailblazers all made their fortunes from predatory loan businesses

New Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is all over the news as details come out of all the penny-pinching he's done since taking over the NBA team. This probably won't come as a surprise to folks familiar with how Dundon amassed his wealth from sketchy subprime auto loans:

RFK Jr: "I have nothing to do with the measles outbreak here"

Spurs blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead against the Blazers, tied for their largest blown lead in the fourth quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 seasons. It's Portland's 2nd-largest 4th quarter playoff comeback.

Blazers win, which has to upset their new owner on account of it locks in one extra flight and two days of per diem

Between an awesome Blazers win and the Tom Dundon being a unrepentant cheapass jokes, I do believe that maybe, just maybe, we've entered a fun new era of Portland hoops.

My timeline is flooded with jokes about the new Blazers owner being an unrepentant cheapskate, and I’m here for all of it.

Just for safety, Wemby should not fly on an airplane and should just stay in San Antonio until Game 5.

Need to go ahead and score a bucket instead of waiting to get fouled!

I would rather have seen Portland just play some tough defense and try and force a missed three-pointer.

Wemby not returning. This is a must-win! Deni and Scoot and Shaedon should drive the ball nonstop for the rest of the game.

Tom Dundon paid $4.25 billion for the Portland Trail Blazers and couldn't spring to send the team photographer on the road.

I got baited so I’ll help you all avoid this one. Dame’s sitting this game out. No one else. Same teams. Run it back. Go Blazers. #ripcity

I have concluded that El Cheapo is the best Tom Dundon nickname. #RipCity

I have serious doubts about this whole approach but there’s ultimately nothing to be done as a fan. If we lose Calabro and Lamar purely for cost-cutting it’s gonna be really tough for me when the Sonics are back

I don't know how much longer I can support this franchise, y'all. This dude really seems to hate us and has no interest in investing in the state or city. Worst case scenario. www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

There is no way Tom Dundon is going keep paying for two mascots.

I think Dundon's only real goal is getting government money for the stadium and flipping the blazers to someone else for a profit. he is a true man of late capital, whose entire career is predicated on usury, no reason to believe he would be any different just because it's a basketball team

blazers have to feel good that they are within 10 after that terrible shooting half. they’ve also only committed 3 turnovers. they’re going to need another couple of tertiary scorers to make something, though; outside of deni the team shot 12-34 from the field.

Blazers shooting 40% from field, 25% from 3, only have 5 O boards (DC none, and spurs shooting 50% and have made 9 threes. IF they can tilt some of those numbers to their norms, there is a chance for something in the series #ripcity #blazers #playoffs

First time the Blazers have made the playoffs in 5 years and a good chunk of the Blazes discourse on Bsky is about how much this guy sucks, if non-basketball people are wondering how things are going.

Watching David Byrne Coachella performance from last night. Amazing that he can stay relevant and do this at age 73.

Aside from Florida, nearly the entire contiguous U.S. has experienced earlier than average first plant blooms in 2026. Earlier springs can cause longer allergy seasons, accelerate wildfire risk, increase pests/mosquitoes, and lead to less reliable snow-fed water. Map: www.usanpn.org/data/maps/sp...

I’m sorry, but leaving Bruce Ely in Portland for the team’s return to the playoffs for the first time in 5 seasons to save maybe $2000 is fucking bullshit and Dundon should just put the team back on the market if this is how he plans on running it.

Playoffs ins and outs compared to last year New West teams in (team booted): - Spurs (Grizzlies) - Trail Blazers (Clippers) - Suns (Warriors) New East teams in (team booted): - Raptors (Bucks) - Hawks (Pacers) - 76ers (Heat)

Sounds Blazers fans are planning to go shirtless at Moda Center for games 3 and 4 vs the Spurs. Should be a sight .
