Long time, no post. I’ve been busy working on my mental health and finding ways to rekindle that fire for writing.

Well, after a raucous three-win streak, the Portland Trail Blazers have come back to earth.
General Manager Joe Cronin is not new to being dogged for a perceived lack of asset management acumen.
Our long recreational nightmare is over: Damian Lillard is no longer a Portland Trail Blazer. It almost doesn’t seem real, still. Even after seeing him in a Bucks jersey. And after the initial frustration and prolonged angst, I’m left with bittersweet feelings. Lillard was probably the greatest Trail Blazer in terms of records and sheer […]
Alright, first off, what the fuck am I doing? Tossing around that word analysis? Like my ass played basketball past the 8th grade or beyond the recreational level like some learned academic in the nonform arts of armchair psychology? Because goddamn there’s to be a lot of that stuff in here and I just want […]
This was written on March 13th, around about midnight, after the Bill Schonely memorial. It was a late addendum to an already busy writing day, but one which needed to be written lest the memory of the Schonely not be fully laid to rest. He means a great deal to more than just my own […]

And that does happen here, eventually, as the Blazers are one of those subjects that render my already effusive self to become even more effusive…-er […]
I didn’t watch the All-Star Game, and you couldn’t pay me to watch it. The players clearly don’t care about making it a competitive game, so why should I care about watching? The only exception to this rule felt like Damian Lillard, however, who showed up big in both the All-Star Game and the 3-Point […]
I guess I just write these randomly now? I dunno. Depression is weird. Well, I was going to write another Blazers thing after an impromptu invite to watch the Blazers take on the Denver Nuggets. Anfernee Simons busting that bunker with six three-point shots in a torrid third quarter just felt like too good a […]
Felt cute, might sportswriter later. Can’t say this will be a regular thing, but it did help me breakout of a seeming writer’s block, and sometimes that’s all you need. Chauncey Billups just Tyronn Lue’d us. Well, it might be too early to tell that, but for most, a sigh of relief was heard around […]
