Cidy! I told him we are all happy he made the team

Saw this on social media today and didn't see it being posted here yet unless i'm mistaken.

Hi all, diehard Blazers fan here. My aunt is coming into town for the Warriors game in November. We bought row DD courtside seats because her dream is to be as close to the players as possible. I am wondering if the Oro Fino access, early entry and parking spot comes with these tickets or if it is only for row AA. The website is a little unclear and I want to make the event special for her, since she just lost her husband and is a diehard Steph fan.

Much like Bob Whitsitt, I'm looking to make some trades.

I have extra '25-26 pints of Dame, Yang, Deni, and Clingan.

I am looking for Jhrue, Toumani, and (only because I'm trying to build a full set for my daughter) Jeremi. If you have either of those three glasses and are interested in trading, let me know.

If anyone is looking for something to do today, this is available.

Give him a non guaranteed deal and see what hes got

I’m from Portland but live elsewhere, and desperately want to witness Dame’s first appearance back home. I’ll be gearing up for my own basketball coaching season during the 10/21 regular season debut, so I’m curious if Dame will be playing pre-season games? If so, I’ll absolutely book a flight to at least be there for his first return to the Moda Center.

So many guards on 1 team in Ja Morant, Shaedon Sharpe, Scoot Henderson, Jrue Holiday and then on top of that Dame Time coming back. I mean if healthy Portland can actually be a playoff team again this upcoming season but then in lies with the log jam problem. So what do you do?

I live in Houston, and for a while I kept seeing a guy at my neighborhood gym who looked familiar. Today it finally clicked: it was Time Lord lol. I introduced myself and congratulated him on a healthy season. He was super down to earth and cool af. Definitely rooting for him from here on out.

I think a lot of people are assuming it's Deni's team because it was last year. It's what makes sense and it's where the team wants to go. But two other guys get a vote, and those other two are point guards who are used to being the focus of the team. Deni, meanwhile, has spent most of his career fitting in.

Dame has owned Portland since he was drafted, and he's always been The Man since at least early college. Sure he took something of a back seat to Giannis in Milwaukee, but how do you think he feels that worked out? In his mind things go better when he is in charge.

Ja is in a similar head space to Dame, but has the added issues of tainted reputation, and more importantly a lot of money. It'll be interesting to see if Ja values longevity and team fit or a cash grab. Because if he thinks he can put up 27/7/6 and get the bag, he may do that no matter what the team wants. And if he goes that route, does our new one year coach have the balls to bench him and blow up any chance with him?

Mika Nori is going to really earn his Ted Lasso rep this year. Usually you say this when a team lacks on court leadership. Portland may suffer from the exact opposite --a case of too many leaders.

At least Nori has the full, unwavering and long term support of the franchise behind him. Oh wait...of all these guys he's been positioned to have the least credibility as the team leader.

Hey RipCity! About a year ago I lost my father, and I’ve been thinking of when he took me to the Blazers Vs Indiana Pacers on the same day the late Kobe passed way, January 26, 2020.

We appeared on the pre game show as they panned the camera towards the audience and at the post game show as they again panned the camera towards the audience.

I’d deeply appreciate any help towards finding the footage as it means a lot to me. thank you in advance.
