How to Watch Trail Blazers vs. Magic Tonight!

Blazers Summit Mountain Only to Trip Over Shoelaces Versus Pistons
The Portland Trail Blazers and the Moda Center had soul on Monday night. Or grit. Or heart. Or whatever spiffy intangible you want to call it.

Blazers Fall to Detroit Pistons in Beautiful, Ugly Bout
Despite a spirited 21-point comeback, the Portland Trail Blazers fell to the Detroit Pistons 102-110 on Monday night. The first half was sloppy, to put it kindly.

Grant Would Be Considered ‘Salary Dump’ by The Athletic
The Athletic (subscription required) dropped a 40-player “trade board” that ranks and talks about the most likely players to be traded this NBA season. Three Portland Trail Blazers made the list… and in their view, none of them will command much of a return: Coming in at No. 19 was Robert Williams III: Trade Value: […]
Splitter is Happy Blazers are ‘Stepping Up Every Game’
Following a 98-93 win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, the Portland Trail Blazers are now riding a three-game winning streak.

Watch Shaedon Sharpe Drop INSANE Dunk on Russell Westbrook
The Portland Trail Blazers beat the Sacramento Kings 98-93 on Saturday evening, but that relatively-pedestrian score in a relatively-pedestrian game is not what people will remember from this outing ten months, or ten years, from now. Instead they’ll be talking about a dunk that had NOTHING to do with pedestrian. It was air-flighted in over […]
Trail Blazers Do Heavy Lifting in Victory over Sacramento
Lightning may never strike in the same place twice, but the 98-93 victory by the Portland Trail Blazers versus the Kings in Sacramento tonight suggests that it can definitely hit the same NBA team twice if that team changes locations.

What I Want to See from Scoot Henderson on his Return
Scoot Henderson is yet to take the court for the Portland Trail Blazers this season. The third-year point guard suffered what now appears to be a pretty severe left hamstring injury, sustained during a September offseason workout. It’s a shame for the 21-year-old who needs this season to silence his critics, including this writer, before […]
