It’s déjà vu all over again. Another sold out Moda Center, another 15+ point second half lead for the Portland Trail Blazers, and another double digit loss—114-93—to the San Antonio Spurs. The Blazers now see themselves in a 3-1 hole in the best-of-7 series, setting up a do-or-die Game 5 against the Spurs in San […]
The first playoff home game for the Portland Trailblazers since 2021 ended in disappointment as the Victor Wembanyama-less San Antonio Spurs pulled away late—120-108—putting the Blazers in a 1-2 hole in the best of seven series. In a game where the Blazers led by as many as 15 halfway through the third quarter, the Spurs’ […]
On the heels of an intense lobbying campaign by the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oregon Legislature last month passed a $365 million funding package to renovate the Moda Center contingent on the Blazers remaining in Portland under new majority owner Tom Dundon. State leaders trumpeted the passage of the funding package as an economic boon […]
After one of the rockiest season-starts imaginable, the Portland Trail Blazers, through incredible perseverance, earn themselves a postseason, the first game of which is at the Phoenix Suns tomorrow, April 14, at 7 PM PST. First off, and let us say this loud and clear for those in the back, good fucking riddance, Chauncey Billups. […]
With the 8th seed in the Western Conference on the line, the Portland Trail Blazers bested their Los Angeles Clippers conference rivals for a second time in two weeks, beating them 116-97.

By controlling the purse strings and federal oversight, the Trump administration is upending participation in sports for trans women and girls across the nation—even at amateur and club levels. Sarah Maywalt remembers finding herself mesmerized while watching a Canadian broadcast channel in the late 1990s. On the TV: curling– the quirky game that sees competitors […]
High Point University (12-seed) is down one with under a minute to go playing the heavily favored University of Wisconsin (5-seed). The High Point Panthers have yet to win a single game in the March Madness NCAA men’s basketball tournament since the tournament’s 1939 conception. Star guard Nick Boyd dribbles the ball up the court […]
March Madness is here. If you are a true basketball sicko you’ve probably already called out of work to watch the first two rounds of National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) tournament play, starting Thursday, March 19. If you’re not a basketball sicko and just looking for some high octane fun, play hooky and watch along. […]

Blazers star and hometown hero Damian Lillard is bringing Dame Time to the local food and drink scene. On Friday, March 6, Lillard and his business partners officially opened Honorable Mention, a sports bar—actually, it calls itself a luxury sports lounge—in the basement of the historic Benson Hotel in downtown Portland. Honorable Mention features vaulted ceilings, round […]
The Portland Timbers won their first playoff game in four years last fall, but the 2025 season was otherwise largely a disappointment. After a relatively strong start, the Timbers won just two of their final 14 games—limping to a middling eighth place finish in the Western Conference and doing little to arrest the notion that […]
