After three seasons on the Blazers TV broadcast, I was informed that my contract would not be renewed. I am grateful for being a part of the best broadcast crew in the NBA and capturing the rise of the team. I wish nothing but the best for the terrific staff and Rip City fans. ✌️

One of my favorite sports articles of the past 12 months
I slept on it. I had to do it. Sorry, Heat fans: Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game deserves an asterisk. 83* joins my definitive short list of 70+ scoring nights with an asterisk: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...
Tom makes a compelling and definitive argument here, but I’ll counter by saying Bam is the only player to score 70-plus points whose performance doesn’t warrant an asterisk.

I giggled the whole time I read the article. This is sports satire done 100% correctly.

The Hornets walked into Boston, looked a top-six defense in the eyes, drilled 19 3s, had 26 assists against four turnovers, blew their doors off and walked out. Would you like to know more about the scorching-hot Charlotte Hornets? @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social and I have you covered:

🔥 From the Blazers broadcast: The legend of Headband Toumani. HEADBAND ANALYTICS
Shout out to @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social for breaking down the emergence of headband Tou. Quite possibly the most important statistical development of our time. 3/4
🔥 blazers set new franchise record for most 3P made in any 2-game span (43). and 3-game span (60). and 4-game span (78). and 5-game span (92)…
📈📈📈 blazers 3P shooting in february 3P/3PA ... 3FG% 14/44 ..... .318 18/52 ..... .346 17/42 ...... .405 21/51 ...... .412 22/54 ..... .407 tonight

Way more than Detroit or Boston.
Great note from @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social this morning — on top of the likely upgrade of adding James Harden (and Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder) at the trade deadline, the Cavs also stand to benefit from a stretch-run schedule heavy on tanking teams: www.tomthefinder.com/p/the-james-...
maybe my favorite blazers stat: after tonight, blazers are now 20-8 when they shoot 33% or better from 3PT. a .714 win percentage. only 6 teams are better when they make at least a third of their 3s: DET, OKC, BOS, SAS, NYK, CLE. that's it. @stathead.com
I was not expecting to be reduced to a blubbering mess on my dog walk this morning but a sincere thank you to @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social for absolutely ruining one last meaningless thing donate to #teamgleason

Deni Avdija now 14 of 28 (50%) from the corner this season.
Crazy stat: tonight is first time that Deni Avdija, Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant have played together since November 14.
In today's BIG NUMBER, @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social has some big blockbuster ideas for the Warriors to consider. I, however, am a simple man, who thinks simply. Let's just get Kuminga to Sacramento already, huh? 🍎: tinyurl.com/yw6s4r6r ✳️: tinyurl.com/4m4p9sw7 📺: youtu.be/s8jrQaijVlM
