Yang Hansen Bounced Back Big in His Home Debut 👏🔥

After a rough previous outing (4 points, 4 rebounds, 6 fouls), Yang Hansen responded in a huge way tonight. In just 17 minutes, he put up 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks, shooting 5/8 from the field, 2/3 from three, and 4/4 from the line. He dominated the third quarter, going a perfect 5/5 for 14 points, igniting the home crowd and completely shifting the game’s momentum. Defensive anchor in the first half, offensive takeover in the second — this was the breakout performance Blazers fans were waiting for. Portland edged out the Kings 124–123, and Yang was a big reason why. Are we witnessing the rise of a future fan favorite in Portland? 👀 #NBA #YangHansen #TrailBlazers #BigMen #Portland #Sports

Tiago Splitter’s Blazers might be onto something

Since taking over, Splitter has the Blazers sitting at 4–2 and 4th in the West — with wins over the Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers, and Jazz. Coming from the Spurs system, his mix of discipline and creativity is showing early. This team’s energy and defense look completely different. Could Portland have found their next great coach? #Blazers #TiagoSplitter #NBA #TrailBlazers #NBACoaching #RipCity #Portland

Trail Blazers’ draft gamble isn’t paying off

Portland’s rebuild is hitting a rough patch, and it’s hard not to notice how their 2023 first-round pick, Kris Murray, just isn’t living up to expectations. Even with more minutes on the court this season, Murray’s scoring and shooting haven’t improved, and at 25, he’s not exactly a young prospect anymore. The Blazers’ struggles from beyond the arc only make his lack of progress more glaring. Is it time for the front office to admit this pick was a miss and rethink their strategy? How do you feel about Portland’s recent draft decisions? #Sports #Basketball #TrailBlazers

Is Jrue Holiday’s NBA Run With Blazers Over?

Blazers fans, what’s your take on Jrue “The General” Holiday’s situation? After a hot start, injuries have sidelined him since November, and there’s still no timeline for his return. Portland’s been struggling without his leadership, going 4-6 in their last 10. With Holiday’s big contract and age, do you think the Blazers made the right move trading for him, or is this a gamble that’s backfiring? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Basketball #TrailBlazers

Portland’s gamble on Jrue Holiday backfires

Portland’s front office thought Jrue Holiday would be the missing piece for a playoff push, but the plan has unraveled fast. Instead of a defensive powerhouse, the Blazers are stuck with a struggling roster, sitting 10th in the West and ranking just 22nd in both offense and defense. Holiday’s injuries and hefty contract have only made things tougher, raising big questions about the team’s direction. With young talent like Camara and Avdija showing promise, was this “win-now” move a costly misstep? How should the Blazers rebuild from here? #Sports #Basketball #TrailBlazers

Milestone for Steph: he passes MJ for most 40+ after 30 today

Stephen Curry went nuclear again: 48 points, 12/19 from three, 3 steals, becoming the all-time leader in 40-point games after age 30 (45), moving past Michael Jordan. However, it still wasn’t enough to help the team win. Turnovers (18, including 8 from Draymond) and late-game execution doomed the Warriors as Portland closed it out behind Sharpe 35 and Grant 35. Monster night from Steph, tough one in the standings. #Warriors #StephenCurry #TrailBlazers #NBA #Records #DubNation

Chauncey Billups’ Oregon mansion sold amid scandal

Chauncey Billups just sold his Lake Oswego estate for $4.275M, right as his legal troubles heat up. The Blazers coach, now on unpaid leave, let go of his lavish home—complete with a pool, golf green, and home theater—mere weeks after being arrested there. Federal charges accuse Billups of recruiting for illegal, Mafia-backed poker games across the country. While he’s pleaded not guilty and plans to fight, the NBA has sidelined him and Portland’s moved on with a new acting coach. What do you think—can Billups bounce back, or is this the end of his NBA chapter? #RealEstate #ChaunceyBillups #TrailBlazers

Rookie Yang Hansen Shines in G-League— Just Missed a Comeback Win

Yang Hansen, the newly drafted Trail Blazers rookie on assignment with the Rip City Remix, delivered a breakout performance in a 111-113 loss to the South Bay Lakers. He posted 22 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks, showing an all-around game on both ends. Although the Remix fell just short, Yang’s showing isn’t one to ignore — he’s already making an impact on the floor, and he looks he's getting ready for the NBA. #YangHansen #RipCityRemix #GLeague #NBA #TrailBlazers #Portland

My First Live NBA Game

My first live NBA game was on December 18, 2019, at the Moda Center in Portland, where I watched the Trail Blazers play against the Warriors at home. The atmosphere was electric—Damian Lillard was incredible and the roar after each Blazers basket felt like it shook the building. Hearing the squeak of sneakers and feeling the crowd’s energy up close was nothing like watching it on TV. I still keep my ticket stub from that night! #LiveNBA #NBA #Sports #TrailBlazers #DamianLillard

Blazers assign Yang Hansen to Rip City Remix

Portland’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
