Was literally editing an interview with LaMarcus @aldridge_12 when I got laid off so here's what he had to say about how he looks back on his time in Portland after returning for the first time in years

Dame wouldn’t even call himself the 2nd best shooter ever.

I feel like Mitch Johnson deserves a reverse technical (his team gets to shoot a free throw) just for not fighting the ref right there
May 27
James Capers bizarrely refuses to give Mitch Johnson the timeout to challenge the out of bounds play. Shai gets to the line, Johnson gets called for a tech. Brutal. A potential five point swing.

Does anyone track numbers on who causes the most injuries? Because it's Lu Dort.

Nori, Blazers interim coach Tiago Splitter and LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy are the known finalists.

There’s video of him falling down on every shot attempt. Every one.

Seeing some "OKC is grabbing Wemby on defense" discourse.
I'd encourage anyone saying that to watch how SGA is defended.

Portland Trail Blazers have requested permission to meet with Los Angeles Clippers assistant Jeff Van Gundy as he has emerged as one of the finalists for their head coach opening, league sources tell me.

RT @highkin: Talked to one person who survived the cuts today who said it feels like they just looked at a spreadsheet of salaries and cut…

I have indeed been let go after 18 years with the @trailblazers. My sincerest thanks to all of you who have read/listened/watched/engaged with my work over the years.

Wait, Pelicans fans are actually complaining about the Jamahl Mosley hire? He's coached the Magic to three consecutive seasons at or above .500. The Pelicans haven't had three consecutive seasons at or above .500 since relocating to New Orleans as the Hornets in 2002.

For those who missed it, Here's Sidy Cissoko taking flight and dunking through contact from Victor Wembanyama. Took an elbow to the head and still got it done. Best highlight of his career imo.

Sidy Cissoko with the filthy double clutch And-1 poster dunk on Victor Wembanyama (with replays)
It remained a common shooting foul upon review
The lead is only 10 now

I like stats as much as the next guy. Maybe more. But fans telling me Sharpe not being locked in is just a narrative because he averaged 20 need to pay more attention.

Right. No one said it's the reason Portland lost. It was just the most glaring of a few things that kept him off the court. After four seasons in the league, one would hope he'd be contributing more.

The highlight was definitely Sidy Cissoko getting up and dunking through contact from Wembanyama. He got his playoff moment and it was actually pretty sick. I hope a photographer got a good angle on that.

Shaedon Sharpe only getting six minutes in an elimination game because of his defense as a fourth-year player concerns me.

Every now and then in situations like these Shaedon Sharpe just says to hell with it and starts trying to pack it on people. A Shae poster would salvage my enjoyment of this game.
