There's a lot of bad stuff happening in the world but I like to think each day we can offer a minor counter to the endless calamity.

For instance, my 3-year old is currently belting out "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes like she's Ian Karmel at Chopsticks II in 2007.

Stay vigilant friends.

Blazers cursed by these unforgivable overhead camera angles? Could be!

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I missed this but this is very kind. Thanks for sharing!

Do you mean the episode that was built around the Trail Blazers cool and good vibes and how fun this team will be this season?

($115/5 fwiw)

One of the funniest nicknames in my Blazers era: Basic Cable. Mason Plumlee said he only had 3 channels, no premium package, on offense.

Also, a legend at the bank.

A Bleak Recent History of Restricted Free Agency Plus, a Q&A with Riley Martin a.k.a. SportsBall

Something to consider for the next blog: Teams have really stopped extending offer sheets to restricted free agents over the last 5 seasons. There might not be as much, if any, actual risk in just letting good players hit RFA

Welcome to Rocktember. You mess with one of the five or so worst teams in the modern era and you’re gonna learn today, cubbies.

And this is how I find out the G in G League stands for woke...

This is how I find out the Mad Ants have been squashed...

Wrong show

Terrence I don't want to disparage YouTube viewers - some of them are my real life friends - but it's a podcast no one should be watching one guy talk at a camera several times a week. You're doing it right. (YouTube viewers, I love you thank you for supporting my lifestyle)

It's on YouTube, fresh as you'll ever see it. From barber chair (shouts to my homie, Dave) to the studio.

I got a haircut and recorded an episode of Locked On Blazers this morning. If you're interested in the latter, it is in your audio feeds and on YouTube right now.

This is a very relatable version of “I hate writing, I love having written.”

Evannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Nobody writes like Katie. Nobody writes about Summer League like Katie. Students are so lucky to learn how to approach the craft from someone so uniquely talented.

"Don’t bury it, don’t write from down here ... We have enough of that for lifetimes. Go up."

Thanks Simon. If you ever have notes for my show don’t share them though lol.

The only good nickname for Hansen (and it’s bad and won’t stick) is mmmblock, coined by @michaelbowles.bsky.social

But for folks of a certain age, it’s got the juice.

*they are not all bangers.

Yang Hansen DEEP in his BAG like a old CHAPSTICK | *Flame Emojis* | Trail Blazers COOKED with NBA Draft STEAL

What on earth does this distinction possibly aim to clarify here?

Lucky for them, once the games start someone else will mostly tell them when to start events. (the wnba has funny mid-week day time tipoffs already). But yeah when you fire your team president 100 days into the job and then throw a boondoggle party, it doesn’t inspire confidence.

Same. I *can* go. I have a weird job. It will be annoying and one thing I am always trying to maximize with a 2 year old is logistically annoying outings. It’s what memories are made of.

I could not give a single shit about the results of this game and did not mention the score ... BUT... You got it.
