Jusuf Nurkic got his likeness pasted to the side of the Moda Center this week. Ask any Trail Blazer fan or anyone in the organization, and theyโll tell you heโs earned it. In the short time Nurkic has been on the team heโs breathed new life into the Blazers. He is extremely happy to be […]
Aris Hunter Wales
Aris Hunter Wales is the Mercury's resident, denim-clad rocker and Blazers beat writer. If he's not clenching a fist while lauding the loud and heavy, he can be found sitting on press row at a Trail Blazers' game wearing a crisp suit with neatly combed hair.
Blazers Recap: The Blazers 86 the 76ers, 114-108!
My family moved from Scottsdale, Arizona to Beaverton when I was nine. I remember when we arrived my Dad told me that we had to be Trail Blazers fans instead of Phoenix Suns fans. Seeing as how I had been to a handful of Suns games, and had gobs of Suns swag, it took my […]

THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN The God of Hellfire, now and forever. Barbara Fg WHEN I WAS a teenager, my dad used to let me borrow his tapes to listen to on my bus rides to school. He had one of those collections of greatest hits from the โ60s and โ70s that you could […]

Blazers Recap: The Blazers Snub The Grizzlies, 112-109
That dirty four letter word is on the tips of everyoneโs tongues again. Snub. Just like last season, poor Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were passed up for the coveted Western conference All-Star team. As heartbreaking and illogical as it is to us passionate Trail Blazers fans, realistically it makes all the sense in the […]
Blazer Recap: The Magic Confound The Blazers, 115-109
Itโs a fact that the city of Portland and snow donโt mix. Anytime it snows, no matter how much drops from the sky, Portland is thrust into swirling chaos and oblivion. The roads are treacherous, neighborhood bars bulge, and everything else shuts down because everyone is either too scared, or too drunk/high to go to […]
The Blazers Conquer The Kings, 102-89
Nothing is more fun than a good old fashion NBA rivalry. And if the Trail Blazers didnโt already have enough beef between them and the Clippers, it looks like they might be gathering a herd of cattle between them and the Sacramento Kings. Well, maybe not the entire Kings team, but certainly DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins […]
Keep Your Head Hanging, Blazers Lose 95-91…
We can all sit here jawing on and on about how the Trail Blazers have looked for the last five games and how to solve it until our heads explode, but thereโs really no use getting all bent out of shape about it. Slumps happen. Whether your doing your theorizing from a bar stool, or […]
No Presents For Christmas, the Spurs Buck the Blazers, 110-90
Since they make an app for everything these days, I figured itโd be wise to download myself a word of the day app. I donโt read as much as I should, so I thought itโd help keep me sounding smart if I learned some big words. They say to help remember the word of the […]
Recap: Blazers Drop Another One, 96-95
The last few days have been pretty rough in the Trail Blazer camp. Looking like the home squad has so far this season, a loss at the hands of the Warriors on Saturday wasnโt gonna be a big shock. But getting trod upon like the Blazers did and losing by 45 points?! That sting takes […]
Blazer Recap: The Blazers Halt the Pacers, 131-109
Ok. Letโs all take one, big, collective deep breathโฆand exhale slowly. Now that weโre relaxed, we can all ask in unison, โWhat the fuck is going on with the Blazers, man!?!โ What happened to the 2015-16 season Cinderella team? The golden boys that brushed off the skeptics and marched proudly to the 2nd round of […]
Recap: The Blazers Blot Out The Suns, 124-121!!
Last night was election night in the grand olโ U.S. of A. If you werenโt waiting in line at the polls, or sitting in traffic on the way to a ballot box, odds are your mind was well occupied with what the future may hold for this country. Once you cast your vote and made […]
