Entering the 2014 season, the Timbers want to raise some hardware.

Blazers vs. Spurs—Hot Live Blog Action!
LIVE at the Moda Center, where your Portland Trail Blazers host the San Antonio(ld) Spurs. It’s the first game since the All-Star break, and the first time Portland will change their starting five all season, as leading scorer/rebounder LaMarcus Aldridge sits (gingerly) with left groin inflammation. Ouch. Worse yet for Rip City, big men Joel […]

Blazers vs. Thunder—Hot Live Blog Action!
LIVE at the Moda Center as your Portland Trail Blazers host some still-bitter Seattle resident’s Oklahoma City Thunder. And while it’s true that our fair city’s Arena Football team is (rather inexplicably) named after that oh-so-rare occurrence of clouds crashing into each other, the only Thunder that matters to Portland is sporting visiting unis tonight.

POLL: Divinely Intervene On The Timbers’ New Stadium Name
It’s time to close the door (and window?) on Jeld-Wen Field. The Portland Timbers announced a title change to their home turf on Monday, giving Civic Stadium a new moniker: Providence Park. The name switcharoo is the result of a “new integrated community partnership” between PTFC and Providence Health & Services (Oregon’s largest private employer) […]

Blazers vs. 76ers—Hot Live Blog Action!
LIVE from DaModa as your Portland Trail Blazers host some other guy’s Philadelphia 76ers in a rematch of the 1977 NBA Finals. Portland is playing like it’s primed for a return trip, as Rip City’s revival continues to scorch its way through the winter with the Western Conference’s best record. A couple hiccups aside, the […]

Blazers vs. Rockets—Hot Live Blog Action!
LIVE from DaModa, where the eyes of a nation turn to Rip City. OK, maybe just the eyes of a national television audience—or, more accurately, those a) still awake on the East coast and/or b) tuning into TNT hoping to catch “Rush Hour 3” for the third time this week. But nonetheless(!), the game of […]

Blazers vs. Mavericks—Hot Live Blog Action!
We’re LIVE in the Rose Quarter, where the Trail Blazers look to sweep a four-game homestand that’s put them squarely in the National (Basketball Association) conversation. Pro hoops’ hottest franchise takes the floor for the second straight night, as Portland hosts the Dallas Mavericks in a meeting of Conference past and future. After breaking a […]

Blazers vs. Jazz—Hot Live Blog Action!
We’re LIVE at the RoseModaGardenCenter, where the home team has proven they’re not merely a figment of this fair city’s Rose-colored imagination. Everyone is rushing to call the Blazers “for real” (or “fo reeeeeeal” when you’re this pumped) now that Portland has stormed out to the best record in the Western Conference nearly 1/4 of […]

Timbers vs. Real Salt Lake—High-Pitched Live Blog Action!
We’re LIVE at The Jelly, where a win won’t cut it for Portland. If the Timbers are to extend what’s been a dream 2013 campaign, they’ll need to defeat their biggest foils—a seasoned Real Salt Lake side PTFC hasn’t topped in five tries—by two goals. Improbable? Certainly. (Only three teams in Portland’s situation have moved […]

Timbers vs. Sounders—High-Pitched Live Blog Action!
We’re LIVE in Goose Hollow, where the atmosphere is evidently so electric, the WiFi in the Jeld-Wen Field press box has crumbled under the weight of expectation. The mass of media—a contingent large enough to overflow to the back of sections 219 and 220 for the first time since the Gold Cup visited earlier this […]
