Tar Heel born.

I host Locked On Blazers, a daily podcast about the Portland Trail Blazers
In a real panhandle turn of events, MitchRob is also very active on Facebook in 2026, per some Knicks beat guys.

“I heard Caleb had another good game.”

“Yeah, I mean he received nine passes from Shaedon Sharpe and two from Rayan Rupert!”

“Wow!!! What was his total distance traveled and average speed on defense?!?!”

1.) incredibly weird energy to direct at your Hispanic neighbors right now. Is “I told you so” righteousness helpful for anyone? and 2.) Perhaps all these Dem politicians actively refusing to call for abolishing ICE is related to them losing elections past and future.

Jackson is as good as they get. Thoughtful, nuanced, never whining but still plenty passionate. (Don’t blame him for waiting until the morning to record lol. I didn’t finish until after midnight and it happened 15 minutes from my house)

Playing basically every minute with multiple competent ball handlers à la last year’s Pacers is really useful against a defense that wants to force you to dribble/make decisions in a crowd, too (and having the tall Frenchmen is a helpful attention grabber)

Chauncey also told Joe Cronin to build a roster with no shooting and very limited ball handlers, I agree.

I’m going to Horacio Alger this little show but I’m lookin’ a tad light even with 8 minutes of The French Connection (1971).

Pretty clear my guy did that all on his own

My guy buried Coach K, became an instant and forever Carolina legend and then went 5-24 in the title game. He is going to hurt your heart. But he is not afraid to be the one that does it.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Do you mean the episode that was built around the Trail Blazers cool and good vibes and how fun this team will be this season?

($115/5 fwiw)

One of the funniest nicknames in my Blazers era: Basic Cable. Mason Plumlee said he only had 3 channels, no premium package, on offense.

Also, a legend at the bank.

Something to consider for the next blog: Teams have really stopped extending offer sheets to restricted free agents over the last 5 seasons. There might not be as much, if any, actual risk in just letting good players hit RFA
