    Just read a tweet by Casey about this. suspending the rims from the ceiling for safety purposes. This is one state of the art medical team we've acquired for the Blazers and shout out to the Front Office for taking the lead in this obstacle

    Waiting for them to do this in arenas itself. It's not that hard.

    That would be some long poles hanging from the ceiling.

    I think they could go back to how the hoops used to be mounted. I vaguely remember them being on beams or something, that would arch back into the crowd a bit more.

    Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

    The only place I've seen that besides high school gyms is at Duke.

    I think the focus on the practice facility is smart, there are multiple courts which increases the chance for contact. The Moda Center has 2 hoops. Easier to navigate. How many rims are installed at the PF? 6-8?
