    Since Nurkic has played, Vonleh is shooting 64% from the field. It does seem to give him a little more confidence.

    On 3 hrs of sleep, still juiced.

    Can't believe how easily he amassed all those stats. I think he can legit be a 20/10/5 guy in a few yrs.

    Good Lord. What a stroke of luck. Please universe, take care of his knees!

    I'm (genetically?) predisposed to worry about knees as a Blazer fan.

    Also maybe better spacing and those shovel passes at the rim?

    Portland sports radio is trash. How is it that these dudes on 620 are going on and on about Cleveland football after that performance?

    And they have the gall to call themselves Rip City Radio.

    There's a reason that most of the long-time listeners to that show have abandoned it over the past 6 months.

    Where should I go? I listen online. Nurk has me reinvigorated about this season. Need Blazer coverage.

    Sadly, there aren't many options. 1080 also has an online stream, but they talk Blazers even less than the 620 guys do--because they make a point of being the "all-sports" station--and when they do talk Blazers, they seem to pride themselves on not being homers/fans to the point of constantly being debbie-downers. At least their morning show has come out anti-tank.

    Guess this is why podcasts are so hot these days. Unfortunately, this is where on-demand comes short when something big happens and podcasts can't be real time.

    But after that kinda big performance, with the fan base noticeably buzzing, these guys are fucking tone deaf. How the hell do you spend a good 20-30 mins talking about NFL trades in this market?

    Morons running (and ruining) sports radio.

    The reason Taylor Danforth left 620 was the bosses told him to talk less Blazers, and more football and more Oregon State athletics (because they're the Beavers' station).

    Tho it was a national show, the show before was whining about ESPN having a "leftist" ideology, instead of talking sports. Got old real quick

    Last time a midseason trade brought the team such great benefits? Well, Houston got Clyde...

    But no more painful memories. Don't look now but the Blazers seem to be on a roll lately!

    I think if he read some of the posts in here that he just might not want to get hugged.

    I only want to be in the playoffs if there is a promise that Myers Leonard won't play. Sign a guy out of the D-league to take his place.

    He won't gain trade value in the D league...for all who want Meyers gone, you should hope he beasts before off season and boosts his value around the league
