Maybe people actually are constantly crying around him?? ...Maybe their eyes can't help but water up because of his reportedly horrible body odor.

Trump's relationship with Project 2025 is giving Austin Power's "that's not my penis pump" scene vibes, but much less amusing.

The unfortunate thing is that I can attest to this whole charade is at least working on some conservatives (ie my dad) who has earnestly told me that Trump said he's not involved in 2025 and that he won't implement abortion restrictions at the federal level. So it's all okay!!!! And how that means that I should vote for Trump now....as if that was the one singular problem I have with the perpetual lying cheeto.

Oh dang announcers said Scoot will not return because of an ankle sprain. :/

It's a small sample size, but from what I saw in pre-season, the Henderson/Ayton connection excites me. Looking forward to seeing how that develops in the regular season.

Alright LETS GO! The Blazer's youth movement starts here!

YES! I found this community because I was looking for where discussions about it on Lemmy might be. (Other Lemmy community suggestions are very welcome). The time zone difference does complicate things, so I probably won't catch many of the games in the time slot that is latest for me. There's still plenty of great matches to watch beside those though.

Yeah Herro is a good player, but as a major core asset in the return for Lillard, he doesn't strike me as a great value for the Blazers when they already have a guard rotation of Ant, Sharpe, and Scoot in a post-Lillard roster. Obviously getting a third team involved is an option, but the theoretical trade options I've seen floated around this scenario still seem light compared to other potential trade packages from other teams. I hope there is a solution where the Blazers are able to do right by Dame AND get a good return. Seems like a pipe dream at the moment.

Lifelong Blazers fan- obviously bummed about Dame requesting a trade, but his position at this point is understandable. It does surprise me how he's handling it though. Sure there's going to be lots of chatter and smokescreens (and maybe this news is part of it), but is he really so shocked that there's teams other than Miami putting in trade offers to aquire a player of his caliber? Not saying the Blazers should totally ignore his wishes but this type of ultimatum of "Miami or bust" puts Portland between a rock and a hard spot.

In terms of sheer hours of use, buying the ad-free version of the app 10 or 11 years ago now was probably the best value purchase I've ever made. RIP BaconReader, it's been a wonderful journey. :(
