@tomhaberstroh Nicely done sir. 👏

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@GiantHotTakes It’s a misleading stat. They piled on 39 hits between two games last week.

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@alexL_E_I This is my kind of comedy. Well done.

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@blazers_palace @ToreyJonesYT Those two late game elbow middies are forever etched in my brain.

@WorldWideWob If you would have told me before the season: 42 wins, an All-Star, win a road play-in game for the 7-seed, then get gentlemanly swept by a very good Spurs team, I take it. But having sat through the blown leads of games 3 and 4 at Moda, it feels like there should have been more.

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@billoram I tried Bill, both games from the 300-level. I also felt like no one else was waving them.

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@CHold Not to mention the jersey 0. Doesn’t that make four postseason Achilles in a row by 0s?

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@minakimes Which Richter brother is that?

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@sheeltyle @highkin @GMottaTV @trailblazers Starter jackets? Sweet.

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@GMottaTV I wasn’t expecting anything from them for attending a playoff game, but a tiny pennant for “fan appreciation day” against the Kings was extremely lame.

@trailblazers That squeal from Dame warmed my cold heart.

[Darren Shimp-Taylor @FarlChristopher]

@ToreyJonesYT I think Splitter has done a great job given the circumstances, but they need someone with more dynamic options than running Deni downhill in crunch time.

@Brady12Clark I have seats for the season-finale Kings game and would be ecstatic if it’s a win-for-the-8-seed scenario.

[Sheel Tyle @sheeltyle]

Sports have this incredible power to bring people together. It doesn't matter who you are, how you pray, who you vote for or love — you can root for the same team. We need that more than ever today.

This is personal for my family — and I'm ready to get to work. We're going to build a team and an organization that makes Rip City proud.

@iam_johnw Is he watching the game on a jumbo tron?

[Brady Clark @Brady12Clark]

The Portland Trail Blazers are .500 with 8 games left to play, and they have the 3rd easiest remaining strength of schedule in the NBA.

Their pre-season win total was set to 35.5. Their head coach was arrested by the FBI the morning after Game 1. This is a successful season.

@SleeperBlazers He just happened to have two of his best games of the season in the playoffs. Let’s not act like this was LaDanian Tomlinson. He had TWO 100-yard games in the regular season. The NBA Finals usually doesn’t get non-star MVPs because it’s a best of seven, not a winner-take-all.
