This is super cool. The Blazers are the first professional sports team to provide OneCourt's haptic display at every home game!
This cutting-edge technology enables fans who are Blind or Low Vision to experience live basketball action in real-time, at no additional cost. #RipCity #Blazers

Shaedon Sharpe was outstanding in the Blazers' preseason opener. Yang Hansen, not so much.

I mean you weren't wrong. Kirk wasn't either.

Tv on The Radio was awesome tonight. They cracked jokes about Portland being considered a war zone and how ridiculous it is. Played a wide range of their material for 2 solid hours. Really good show. Can't wait to see them again tomorrow night.

*Shaedon

Sharon can stay on the bench as far as I'm concerned. Her production is way down anyway.

Basketball Jones 🏀🦁 @shawnjohn.bsky.social · 2h

There's no world where Deni should be coming off the bench. There's no world, in my opinion, where Sharon should be coming off the bench.

Not sure if this is a hot take or not but here goes: Shaedon Sharpe needs to be our starter immediately. I like JG but he should not start over Shae. I felt this way before the game and the feeling is definitely reinforced after the first preseason game. #RipCity #ShaedonSharpe #Blazers

Even the Chauncey haters have to give a pass for preseason. You don't put starters back in to win.

I was watching in between the opener and headliner at a show on my phone, thanks to BlazerVision and we were up by 12 in the fourth when the band took stage and I put my phone away, knowing after the show I'd see that we lost it. I was right.

That's what matters

Basketball Jones 🏀🦁 @shawnjohn.bsky.social · 2h

I've never cared about a preseason outcome. That's not the point.

Basketball Jones 🏀🦁 @shawnjohn.bsky.social · 2h

I'm concerned about Caleb Love. Not just because of tonight, but also his summer league performance wasn't that great and Mike Richman isn't too high on him and apparently watched him a lot in college. I just don't get the vibe from him that he's a fit here. Thoughts?

Basketball Jones 🏀🦁 @shawnjohn.bsky.social · 2h

Oh no. What kind is it and what's the problem. Maybe we can hive mind here and figure out the problem.

Basketball Jones 🏀🦁 @shawnjohn.bsky.social · 2h

I liked what i saw from him.

Enjoy the rest of the game y'all. I'm off to see TV on the Radio at Rev Hall. I'll recap after the show. Go Blazers!!! #RipCity

Thinking look better on fans but lack something on court.

Duop second highest scorer in the first. Not bad for the big man from Sudan! #RipCity #DuopReath

Basketball Jones 🏀🦁 @shawnjohn.bsky.social · 6h

Oh I know but I really didn't see Deni off the bench. I doubt anyone had that on their bingo card.

And hits one on the other side!
