A local group of Portland sports fanatics focused on COMMUNITY. Our epicenter is the Portland Trail Blazers but we aim to branch out from there.
If you've been to a home game recently you've likely noticed that it is season ticket renewal and deposit season. If you are considering renewing your existing season tickets or are interested in becoming a new season ticket holder... you should join us on the Third Bench!

We're excited to bring these events to you this season and more excited to see you at them. Kick off your holiday weekend with a watch party with @thethirdbench.bsky.social and test your trivia knowledge out afterward and maybe win some remix tickets.

Yes, Donovan Clingan broke Bill Walton's franchise rookie record of 15-straight games with a block. Making this more impressive, though, is he's doing it in HALF the minutes (16.5 vs. 33) and he's a full two years younger than Walton was. Incredible.

Gameday Blazer fans!! Here we are at 16 down 66 to go.
Fun fact: Toumani Chimera has been a big bright spot on defense. But his 3pt shooting might be the real story here.
YOY stats:
33.7%—>40.3%
2.5–>3.9 3PA
Multiple made threes in 50% of games compared to 24% of games last season.

Look for the Blazers jersey and the biggest fucking head you've ever seen in your life. (I wear a lot of fitted hats, size = 8.) Can't miss me. Go Blazers.

Some say the Blazers are tanking. I say they are ethically losing games and promoting conversations about What Losing Really Means. What Does Losing Really Feel Like? It deserves deeper exploration

Sure, Portland lost, but that was arguably the best team in the Association. And we kept it close for basically the entire game. I feel good about the future?

I will be available for a trivia team as well. I mean, I have won it all by myself, but it seems hollow.
ONE WEEK UNTIL OUR FIRST WATCH PARTY! An afternoon game Wed before Thanksgiving means you all get to clock out early (on @sheriffofportland.bsky.social 's orders). Join us at McPeet's for a 4PM tipoff! The first 5 people to RSVP in the comments (and show up) get a pair of Remix tickets

Our very first official event is a watch party for the final game of the Blazers upcoming road trip. No one gets any work done Thanksgiving week so punch out early, and come join us at McPeet's on 45th and Fremont for a 4PM Wednesday tipoff and then hang around for Sheriff's trivia game at 730
