Replying to @DavidMacKayNBA
The Clingan discourse on this app this season has been strange. He can clean up some dumb fouls and continue to work on his finishing but opponents literally don’t even try to strep in the paint when he’s on the court. What more can you ask for?

A lot of fans don’t understand that coaches have set rotations and minutes cadence that’s been discussed and established with the team and staff. And coaches try to stick with that unless a player is in foul trouble or someone gets hurt. Especially early in the season. When you switch up rotations without notice, it can throw off team chemistry and player trust with the coach. So no a coach is not dumb for taking out a player at the time he takes out that player every game.

Excited to report that @joesimonssays, @GMottaTV and I will be working together on The Rip City Wrap up after most @trailblazers games this season on KUNP/@KATUNews. Sometimes it will be all three of us -- such as after the opener versus the Suns -- sometimes just two of us. Either way, tap in after the post-game show with @brookeolzendam!

Casey and Joe and Guillermo are going to be awesome together - excited to take a step back and watch these guys this season! Newly married, launching a business with my wife and some other stuff in the works that I’ll share in the near future - it was time for me to take a step back from TV. Wish these guys nothing but the best and y’all should definitely tune in and support the crew.

True story. We were setting up a Tissot interview shoot for their internal meetings and Dame asked Tissot to hire his guys that had just got let go. No one suggested it to him. Just who he is.

Had the iHeart not picked up the tab to have an actual PbP voice, the plan was to simulcast the TV broadcast.

Really curious what the Blazers would've done if iHeart didn't pick up the tab... probably hired someone off the street without conducting a background check.

Calabro reportedly calling some games for the Timberwolves this season. Guessing the offer was not “sub-prime.”

I think we can all agree that stepping out toward the baseline in the middle of a WNBA game, getting ejected on purpose, and immediately claiming to be a victim is insanely pathetic
