Tiago Splitter: "Stuff that usually we do against other teams, they did to us." Jrue Holiday: "This is the first game that we really got our ass whupped." Story from Houston on a night the Blazers were outclassed in their first blowout loss of the season www.rosegardenreport.com/after-being-...

Alperen Şengün talked this morning about Tiago Splitter's impact on his career as he prepares to face the former Rockets assistant and now Blazers acting head coach for the first time. Story: www.rosegardenreport.com/hes-like-a-b...

Blazers are assigning Yang Hansen to the Rip City Remix for their games tomorrow at the Valley Suns and Sunday at the South Bay Lakers, I’m told. He’s practiced with the Remix a few times, but this will be the first time he plays games in the G League. Goal is to get him reps.

Blazers statement on the passing of Lenny Wilkens, who spent the final year of his playing career in Portland in 1974-75 as a player-coach and then served as the head coach the year after that:

A spokesperson for Paul Allen's estate tells me a report that Vulcan is keeping a 20% stake in the Blazers is "unequivocally false" and that once sale to Tom Dundon group closes in March, Jody Allen and Bert Kolde will have no remaining interest. Story: www.rosegardenreport.com/paul-g-allen...

This did not end up happening.

Blazers finally showing a little bit of a pulse here near the end of the first half. Cut a 22-point OKC lead to 6.

Blazers might be working on this year's Memphis loss from last November.

Team now says Wesley is out 8-12 weeks after undergoing surgery.

Another shot clock delay, let's go

Big Timelord game so far

DominAyton in the starting lineup for the Lakers tonight

Tonight will be the fourth time the Blazers have played the Lakers since the trade. Luka has yet to play in any of those games.

Blazers say Blake Wesley suffered a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot during Friday’s win over Denver. He’s out indefinitely.

Just a couple of totally normal for their sport-sized coaches here at Providence Park with Tiago Splitter and Phil Neville.

I’m told the Blazers are assigning Yang Hansen to the Rip City Remix this weekend so he can get some practice time in, and then he’ll be back with the Blazers for Monday’s game vs. the Lakers.

"We want to put Portland on the map with this team." Story on an Emirates NBA Cup™️ thriller: www.rosegardenreport.com/the-emirates...

Blazers 1-0 in Cup group play.

Jerami Grant may have just grifted the Blazers to a Cup win. Big-time stuff.

Toumani Camara is a seven-game player. Cup riser.

Deni Avdija, Cup respecter

Team says Wesley is out for the rest of the game. All they're calling it is a right foot injury.

Lot of sloppy/unforced turnovers by both teams.

Blake Wesley went down with what appeared to be a foot/ankle injury. Went back to the locker room.

By my count this is at least the fourth or fifth four-point play for Jerami Grant this season.

Blazers have hit two threes in the first minute and a half of the second quarter, doubling the amount they hit in the first quarter.

Workshopping a joke right now about how the only thing functioning worse than the Blazers' offense is the shot clock.

Timelord checks in for his season debut in the spot where Yang would normally sub in for Clingan. Huge cheers.

In more positive injury-related news, Tiago Splitter says Robert Williams III is good to go tonight.

Blazers say Matisse Thybulle underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL on his left thumb and will be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks.

Yang Hansen with a hook shot for his first non-garbage time made field goal.

Matisse Thybulle is in, Kris Murray is out tonight.

Second night in a row ... Lakers fans chanting "CHAUN-CEY BILL-UPS 👏👏 👏👏👏"

Shaedon Sharpe

They just stopped play abruptly for a minute to tell us that Shaedon Sharpe's last basket actually didn't count. No explanation of why.

Matisse Thybulle is out tonight.

The Blazers have officially assigned Robert Williams III to the Rip City Remix, who start training camp today, to get some extra practice days. An encouraging sign that he's getting closer to a return.

The Blazers' defense is legit, but the offensive execution issues that did them in against the Timberwolves showed up again at Intuit Dome on Sunday. Story: www.rosegardenreport.com/scoring-limi...

Blazers lose 114-107.

Shaedon Sharpe

Rough go of it tonight for Shaedon Sharpe. 6-of-19 shooting, 1-of-6 from three, 6 turnovers, been blocked on several dunk attempts.

It happened again.

Feels like the Clippers have hit 20 threes tonight but they've actually only hit 8.

Deni Avdija appeared to have some kind of leg injury right at the halftime buzzer. Was down for a little bit. Got up and walked off into the locker room. Blazers lead 60-55 at the half.

The Intuit Dome’s kiss cam lets you vote in the app about the couple’s relationship status and then displays the voting totals. Coldplay should incorporate that into their next tour visuals.

It is but they've got their own investigation to worry about right now.

The Clippers fans at The Wall!™️ behind the Blazers' basket were chanting "F-B-I" while Blake Wesley was at the line.
