I haven’t watched a ton of college basketball this year, but it’s super interesting to watch teams just play basketball. I feel like if you only watch NBA games, you miss players actually trying to play the game instead of foul-baiting and complaining to the refs.

Give Scoot the Ant Edwards whistle and he’d be selling us Sprite, calling himself “Scoota Clause” come November.

Well, considering how honest the Blazers have been about injuries, I hope he’s ready for the start of the 2028 season.

I like losing by 50 better than watching my team’s two best players get hurt in the first 3 minutes.

Memphis has Coward and Rupert. It’s gonna make my fandom transition easy when Portland doesn’t have an NBA team.

Taking a 40 point beatdown the day you release Rayan Rupert makes sense. You earned every goddamn bit of it, Joe Cronin.

Just love bailing on 21 year old prospects when there’s a 25 year old who has done just as little sitting there on the bench. Dumb, and I hate it.

I’m reading a lot of people kinda calling out Silver and Ishiba for the “tanking is worse than gambling” take, but I don’t believe it’s an apples and oranges thing. These are both equal ingredients in the problem. I think the gambling issue SHOULD be worse, but is Jontay Porter hitting under…

A truly inspiring day for NBA doctors and surgeons. Congratulations to all who celebrate.

Given Rousey's openness about her concussion problems and this little issue of Carano having zero MMA fights since Obama's first term, I find this matchup bordering on abhorrent on top of its irrelevance.

James Toney has had an MMA match more recently than Gina Carano

Ummm, it’s 3pm and I somehow missed the three point contest? I know I don’t watch all-star shit very often, is it always just on during the day? I thought it was all-star Saturday NIGHT?

FIRE EVERY ONE OF THESE FUCKING REFS. DEAR FUCKING GOD THEYVE BEEN AWFUL.

👀

This version of the blazers is really fun to watch. I’m glad it’s back.

You can see from the video how hard it was for Brandon Miller to not go out to his car and grab a gun for his friend.

Post a banger that isn’t in English.

Man, non-Chauncey Scoot is a menace.

Scoot without Chauncey staring him down.

For fuck sake. God fucking damnit.

Sometimes it’s just great putting on a shirt you haven’t worn in a long time. jk, I had to do laundry today just to get this shirt, wore it last week. Shoutout @basketghoul.bsky.social for this classic.

I’m just going to run with my own personal assumption that only one of the two way guys will get a contract (Sidy) and that the only player cut will be Matisse. (Which will still make me sad) But if they HAVE to sign both, I will be very upset if they cut Rupert over Murray. Age has to be a factor.

So as a diabetic from Oregon who has played basketball before I feel like I’m equally as qualified to make statements about Moda Center renovation plans as Chris Dudley. I’m also likely more qualified to be governor.

We should trade them Dame.

I’m gonna go to sleep tonight and when I wake up I expect to have at least 30 texts about something blazers related. Amen.

*sigh* This is how we get Chris Paul.

Breaking: Chris Paul has been deported.

IF YOU CANT FUCKING GUARD ANYONE WHEN YOU SWITCH, MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST STOP SWITCHING.

Blazers playing defense like hungover 35 year olds in a city league C-league on a Wednesday night who only play because they hate actually having dinner with their wife and kids.

There’s a chance phoenix wins this game by 20, and that should have been impossible if they played even bad defense.

I’m so jealous football fans get a skippable weekday fake all star game. Basketball fans get strapped into the clockwork orange machine all weekend long and are forced to stare directly at 72 uninterrupted hours of kevin hart

I’m admittedly not much of a coach, but I’d also love to scream as loud as I possibly could at everyone on the blazers that isn’t Blake Wesley tonight.

Wonder if these refs know the whistle works on both sides of the court?

I understand that Blake Wesley isn’t a star player. But he’s the guy you need out there to make it all make sense. He’s the Dijon mustard on a sandwich; without it, your sandwich is a lottery team.

I’m not going to lie, I’m going to miss Duop. It’s so unfortunate that his injury happened when it did, just made him the easiest to move. Thank you, Duop, always a blazer.

Oh no! Not Performance Enhancing P!

They give you the, “Scoot can kinda almost possibly practice (if nba practice actually existed) so he’ll be back soon… probably” and then they follow it up with, “Duop had his leg amputated, so we took him out back and shot him like Old Yeller.” I hate basketball.

Is it funnier that he’s willing to frequently bend over backwards to suck his own dick, or that he’s genuinely excited to show everyone how good he is at it?

I do not want to see Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo play on the same team ever again.

This is what happens when games start at 4pm real time. Everyone fucking loses.

Had a lot of embarrassing losses over the last few years, this could be the worst.

uploaded some new antifascist stuff to the store — I significantly dropped prices on these because I want everyone who wants one to be able to afford them (if you feel compelled to do so, there is an option to leave a tip at checkout) every order comes with a free “FUCK ICE” sticker. basketghoul.com

We can all pretend this is just Deni being out, but how in the fuck do you set season low first quarter scoring in back to back games?
