Brian Gaines+FollowBlazers need shooters to unlock AvdijaDeni Avdija is having a breakout season with the Blazers, putting up All-Star numbers and stepping up as the team’s main playmaker. But here’s the thing: Portland is still near the bottom of the league in three-point shooting, and it’s holding Avdija back from reaching his full potential. Imagine how much more dangerous he’d be if defenders couldn’t just collapse on him in the paint! The front office has to get him some reliable shooters—otherwise, we’re missing out on what this team could really become. What moves do you think the Blazers should make before the trade deadline? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
Steve Francis+FollowShaedon Sharpe put Russell Westbrook on a poster… in the clutchIf you missed Blazers–Kings, don’t worry about the full recap — just know this: Shaedon Sharpe took one dribble, launched, and basically went horizontal mid-air to dunk on Russell Westbrook. It was disrespectful in the cleanest possible way. And it came late in the 4th and completely sucked the air out of Sacramento’s momentum in a 98–93 Portland win. Sharpe finished with 23 points, and the Blazers swept the home-and-home with the Kings. Is this your dunk of the year? #NBA #RipCity #Blazers #ShaedonSharpe #DunkOfTheYear #Kings #NBADiscussion20Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowPortland’s defensive identity is missingPortland fans, it’s wild how quickly the Blazers’ defensive edge has disappeared this season. Just months ago, they were a top-10 defense, but now they’re sitting near the bottom of the league, giving up way too many points. Injuries to key defenders like Williams and Thybulle haven’t helped, and with their contracts expiring, it might be time to trade them for more reliable, long-term pieces. Do you think the Blazers should move on from these defensive specialists, or is there still hope they can turn things around if healthy? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
guerrajohn+FollowBlazers could land Austin Reaves in wild NBA shakeupPortland’s front office has quietly set itself up for a game-changing move: using those valuable Bucks draft picks to snag Austin Reaves, who’s putting up All-Star numbers this season. While everyone’s talking about a possible Giannis trade, the real play might be Reaves—he’s averaging 28.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists, something only Blazers legends have done before. With Portland’s defensive core, Reaves could thrive here. Would you rather see the Blazers swing big for Giannis, or build around rising stars like Reaves and Avdija? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity01Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowWho’s the greatest Portland Trail Blazer of all time? From Bill Walton leading Portland to its only championship, to LaMarcus Aldridge’s smooth mid-range dominance, to Damian Lillard' clutch greatness — each era gave the Blazers a different kind of identity. If you had to pick just one name to represent Portland basketball forever… Who’s your GOAT of the franchise? #NBA #PortlandTrailBlazers #NBALegends #RipCity3565Share
Matthew Roberts+FollowBlazers assign Yang Hansen to Rip City RemixPortland’s rookie center Yang Hansen has been assigned to the team’s G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix, for practice reps and development time. The 19-year-old from China has shown flashes of rim protection and touch around the basket in preseason games. However, he hasn’t seen much court time so far in the regular season. This move should give him more consistent minutes to adjust to NBA pace and spacing. #RipCity #YangHansen #GLeague #TrailBlazers #Portland #NBA 101Share

David Howard+FollowBlazers erase 22-point deficit to hand Thunder their first loss of the seasonThe Portland Trail Blazers pulled off a stunning 121–119 comeback win over the defending champs, snapping their 16-game losing streak against OKC. Down by 22 points, Portland stormed back to secure their 7th-biggest comeback since the 1996–97 season — and the second-largest comeback in the NBA this year. Deni Avdija led the charge, going 15-for-16 from the free-throw line, both career highs. #RipCity #TrailBlazers #Portland #NBA 394Share
