Spurs blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead against the Blazers, tied for their largest blown lead in the fourth quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 seasons.
It's Portland's 2nd-largest 4th quarter playoff comeback.
Blazers win, which has to upset their new owner on account of it locks in one extra flight and two days of per diem
Between an awesome Blazers win and the Tom Dundon being a unrepentant cheapass jokes, I do believe that maybe, just maybe, we've entered a fun new era of Portland hoops.
My timeline is flooded with jokes about the new Blazers owner being an unrepentant cheapskate, and I’m here for all of it.

That is intriguing. I just assumed anyone posting online has already seen the final score.
that is a fair point, but
I'M IN LOVE
AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT !!! 😍

And it’s not like Scoot was hogging the ball. He recognized that most of the squad was incapable of scoring tonight, and took matters into his own hands. 🙌
Spoiler alert: Three Blazers who stunk up the gym for three quarters make HUGE plays in crunch time.
Just for safety, Wemby should not fly on an airplane and should just stay in San Antonio until Game 5.
Need to go ahead and score a bucket instead of waiting to get fouled!
I would rather have seen Portland just play some tough defense and try and force a missed three-pointer.
I am visualizing a Blazers win in overtime!
For sure. Attack the rack and do not stop until this fucking game is in the bag.
Wemby not returning. This is a must-win!
Deni and Scoot and Shaedon should drive the ball nonstop for the rest of the game.
Tom Dundon paid $4.25 billion for the Portland Trail Blazers and couldn't spring to send the team photographer on the road.
I got baited so I’ll help you all avoid this one. Dame’s sitting this game out. No one else. Same teams. Run it back. Go Blazers. #ripcity
I found written instructions here on Bluesky last year, but I cannot locate them now. But I think this YouTube video walks you through it:

It’s a little more complicated, but you can also change the settings in Google Chrome so that it goes straight to “Web results” on every search. Back to the good old days!
I have concluded that El Cheapo is the best Tom Dundon nickname. #RipCity
I have serious doubts about this whole approach but there’s ultimately nothing to be done as a fan.
If we lose Calabro and Lamar purely for cost-cutting it’s gonna be really tough for me when the Sonics are back
I was wondering if the rest of the league was gossiping about the Blazers’ clueless-owner situation.
That was a good summary from Jason quick on The Athletic.
I don't know how much longer I can support this franchise, y'all. This dude really seems to hate us and has no interest in investing in the state or city.
Worst case scenario.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
The Blazers two mascots, Doug Fur and Blaze the Trail Cat. Sadly, new owner Tom Dundon is going to have to put one down.
There is no way Tom Dundon is going keep paying for two mascots.
I think Dundon's only real goal is getting government money for the stadium and flipping the blazers to someone else for a profit. he is a true man of late capital, whose entire career is predicated on usury, no reason to believe he would be any different just because it's a basketball team
I am mildly surprised that Texas A&M has even heard of Plato.
blazers have to feel good that they are within 10 after that terrible shooting half.
they’ve also only committed 3 turnovers.
they’re going to need another couple of tertiary scorers to make something, though; outside of deni the team shot 12-34 from the field.
Blazers shooting 40% from field, 25% from 3, only have 5 O boards (DC none, and spurs shooting 50% and have made 9 threes. IF they can tilt some of those numbers to their norms, there is a chance for something in the series

First time the Blazers have made the playoffs in 5 years and a good chunk of the Blazes discourse on Bsky is about how much this guy sucks, if non-basketball people are wondering how things are going.
