The Portland Blazers had a promising start to the season. They went 5-1 in October. Since then, however, they’ve been on a net downward trajectory.

Damian Lillard’s pointed demands for an improved supporting cast have still yet to be addressed.

No team in the NBA was more active at this season’s trade deadline than the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Portland Trail Blazers’ utmost organizational priority from now until the end of the regular season definitely isn’t winning.

Portland fell to the Atlanta Hawks 122-113 on Monday night […]

A beaming Josh Hart didn’t mince words after playing the best basketball of his life.

But considering the last points of his career night came with 6:49 […]

With the Portland Trail Blazers badly needed a spark to their season, Josh Hart answered the call, setting a career-high in points with 44.

The Portland Trail Blazers didn’t just enter Wednesday’s action as losers of five straight, engaging in tank mode no holds barred.

Let’s just say no one was surprised when Portland kept […]

The Portland Trail Blazers entered their two-game set with the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center one-and-a-half games back of the final spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament.

So much for consternation over a wholly transformative trade deadline.

The Blazers can’t count […]

Josh Hart had barely been in Portland for more than 24 hours when he took the floor at Moda Center on Saturday noon. Just after his standout debut with the Portland Trail Blazers, though, it’s more than safe to say Rip City is just as excited about Hart’s new future as he is. Invigorated by […]

After productive stints with the Portland Trail Blazers, CJ McCollum can hit the reset button as he joins the New Orleans Pelicans.

The New Orleans Pelicans have not played the type of basketball that they had hoped for this season, and much of it can be attributed to Zion Williamson’s injury, since he has yet to play a game for them this season. With a 20-32 record, New Orleans is currently the 11th seed in the Western […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ surprising recent surge sans Damian Lillard, thankfully, may not prevent them from making a major deal at the trade deadline after all. According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, the New Orleans Pelicans have shown interest in acquiring C.J. McCollum leading up to February 10th. Portland would reportedly receive a package […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have fared very poorly without Zion Williamson this season. An 18-29 record has them in 11th place in the Western Conference. They need an infusion of talent badly. One very good player that could be up for grabs is Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum. As the Blazers remain on the […]
