more dillon, less ice

An update on Jrue Holiday not being able to wear #11: when the trade happened, the number was unavailable because Bryce McGowens was still under contract. Jrue could have switched since but it sounds like he’s good just sticking with 5. So that’s that.

Jerami Grant says the idea that he’d be upset if he doesn’t start has been overblown since media day. “I’m fine, man.”

Waiting on deliveries to show up at work so you can go home (& prep your house for a new incoming puppy) like...

You see what you did bro?

Does Scoot's injury mess up the Blazers' trade plans? @cbergin.bsky.social and I talk about it! Also, PLEASE subscribe to We Like the Blazers on any pod catcher, we would love you for it ❤️ www.blazersedge.com/trail-blazer...

This move by Shaedon is just filthy. Breakout season coming?

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Blazers scored a franchise record 156 points vs Denver in 1983 The Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 156-116 on November 22, 1983 During the final minute of this game, Denver head coach Doug Moe infamously instructed the Nuggets during the final minute of this game to quit playing defense

Ramona Shelburne says Clippers PR personnel grabbed the mic away from her on media day after she questioned Kawhi about Aspiration. Said there were 5 or 6 other reporters there that had planned to ask more Aspiration related questions, but were not called on before Kawhi was escorted out.

The worst things get the more I start posting like Rorschach. Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drums.

Working on a lil project

The latest from my oldest.

HEEEYYY 🗣️ Toumani Camara opens up day 2 of Blazers' training camp with a jam!

A 2yr contract means this mess is over for... maybe a year? Seems more like we're just waiting for the next round

I like “Make ‘Em Uncomfortable” but this training camp shirt may take the cake.

Chauncey Billups says every year he picks a word or phrase that will be the team’s barometer for success/style. This year’s phrase is “Make ‘Em Uncomfortable.” It’s written on the back of his Blazers training camp shirt today.

My new comic series just launched! I’m really proud of the story we told and it would mean the world if you chose to support it. An attorney with a gift for making unbreakable contracts is hired by Norse gods to prevent (another) Ragnarok. It’s funny! Epic! Gay! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

The world is a stinky fireball of trash right now. I’m so glad the Blazers play basketball in 10 days.

Replace her. Now.

I have a new podcast and radio show as part of my expanded role with @ripcityradio620.bsky.social . Details here: www.rosegardenreport.com/i-have-a-new...

What if Jrue isn’t getting 11 because Cronin is trying to trade for Domantis 🤮

Expect the unexpected, my guy.

🗣️ UNRETIRE THE GD NUMBERS

it's wild how much more work cuban is doing for ballmer than kawhi ever did for Aspiration.

There aren’t, and especially not ones who the coach and GM still claim are part of long term plans. That’s what confuses me so much about this Grant/Sharpe situation as well. Disgruntled, nearly impossible to trade 31 year old? Or young, high upside but undisciplined talent on a contract year?

Feels like other teams handle these things a lot differently with young guys than how the Blazers have. Perhaps Dame being a 22 year old rookie (younger than Sharpe is rn by like 15 days) made it harder to be patient with 18-19 year olds. Still hope this method can work out but I’m concerned

Media day has come and gone and nothing has been cleared up at all, except for one thing. TBAGTWTC

This this this Making young dudes "earn it" over vets who aren't being held accountable is dumb

Ooooo, Rob Will specifically mentioning Shaedon Sharpe when asked about young guys "bein bought in?"

Robert Williams III says he and the training staff has a target date in mind for when he'll be able to play. He declined to say when that date is.

Donovan Clingan says he wants to play "at least 30" minutes per game with his improved conditioning.

Donovan Clingan: "I'm in a lot better shape [than last year]. There were times last year in runs where I would get winded. Now I can keep going. My conditioning is the biggest thing I've improved this offseason. ... My weight was affecting me getting down the court."

Yang Hansen through translator on pressure of being one of the first Chinese NBA players in a while: "I'm still in the process. I've achieved nothing here. I'm focused on my game and seeing what I can do for the team."

Yang Hansen, asked how his English has improved, answers in English: "I think it's getting better every day, but sometimes it's 'Chenglish.'"

Yang Hansen through translator says he hopes the Blazers play a game in China in the future so all of his "homies" can see him play.

We gotta believe them.

HI CASEY! Get yo ass on bluesky!

Jrue Holiday on Donovan Clingan: "The first time we played pickup, he blocked my shot. I told him, 'Don't ever do that again.'"

Jrue Holiday on Yang Hansen: "To be so young, he's very, very skilled. Very smart player. He's huge, by the way. I think his mobility, how well he's able to move at his height is an advantage. He can shoot, he can pass. He's so open to learning. Off the court, he's hilarious."

Ummmm... who's gonna tell him?

Best Blazers media days so far: Tou Jrue Scoot Blazers we still expect to hear from: Clingan Shaedon Yang

Dude is saying more than he let on here, but well answered

Scoot Henderson: "I'm feeling good. My head is where it always is. Control what I can control. It's a minor setback. Weird freak accidents happen. It could have been worse."

That JG interview...

Despite some awkward question re: 'being the reason dame got traded, & now hes back!' 😬 Scoot ends his media day with "Try to make it fun while you're here. We're blessed to play this game" How can anyone not root for this dude
