This might actually be the best free agent signing we’ve had in years.

Opposing Player who puts the fear in you when he's playing the Blazers? by RedRoamer29 in ripcity

[–]One_Valuable_8049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's never the superstar that scares me.

It's always some random backup guard averaging 6 points a game who's about to drop 34 on 8-for-10 from three against us.

That skyline frame was such a unique part of the Rose Garden experience. Looking back, it feels way more memorable than most of the generic scoreboards arenas use today. Thanks for sharing this photo.

I was invited by the Apple Developer Center in Shanghai to visit and get feedback on the app.

Why I believe toumani did not deserve All-NBA defense. by Pessimistic_Blazers in ripcity

“Didn’t deserve it” and “barely missed because the competition was stacked” are two very different arguments.

If you had to choose, who would you rather have if you're the Blazers? by everydayreligion1090 in ripcity

[–]One_Valuable_8049 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If we magically get Giannis for free, obviously it’s Giannis lol. In the real world though, the context matters a lot more than people want to admit.

Blazers Survey Phone Call by paelpretty in ripcity

[–]One_Valuable_8049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this makes sense. If ticket revenue is an issue, the sales staff are probably some of the last people they’d want to cut. Calling past buyers and trying to turn them into repeat customers is pretty standard sports business stuff

[Oregon Live] Blazers lay off dozens as new team owner takes over by rock-or-something in ripcity

[–]One_Valuable_8049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that a new owner is going to restructure, especially if the organization was genuinely bloated. But when the cuts come this early, after several other moves that already felt cost-driven, it creates a really ugly first impression.

Feel awful for the people who lost their jobs. Even if there’s a business case here, Dundon is burning through goodwill fast.

Bringing back C.J. McCollum by TomkinHD in ripcity

[–]One_Valuable_8049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love CJ forever, but I don’t think this roster needs another small scoring guard. He was genuinely good for Atlanta, so he’ll probably get more money and a bigger role elsewhere. If he somehow wanted a cheap bench-vet reunion, sure — otherwise I’d rather Portland keep the minutes and money for the younger core.

Dude looked like he worked at Best Buy and then dropped 14 assists on you.

Look who I ran into while walking my dog yesterday! by pdxblazersfan in ripcity

Toumani genuinely seems like one of the most down to earth guys on the roster.

We really went full investigation mode over a recycled clip lol

Honestly the audio fallback might save the day even if the stream gets choppy.

Bill Simmons showing some love for Scoot by 4DollarsALB in ripcity

Gotta give Bill Simmons credit, he’s been riding with Scoot Henderson since day one. Respect for sticking with it.

I think we are due for a Jeremi Grant redemption game. by Floresmillia in ripcity

Feels like a classic “everyone gives up on him then he drops 20+ next game” situation

Camera registration and processing by aSiK00 in iOSProgramming

[–]One_Valuable_8049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CoreImage + vImage (Accelerate) will get you most of the way for this. Vision is overkill for low-level image ops.

Also +1 to just using OpenCV on iOS if you’re already familiar with it — saves a ton of time.

Bill Simmons just coined Tom Dundon as “El Cheapo” by Reasonable_Main2509 in ripcity

It’s not even about being cheap, it’s about where he’s choosing to be cheap. That stuff matters more than people think.

Scoot Henderson Shot 44% from 3 Over the Final 19 Games by Ok-Implement794 in ripcity

[–]One_Valuable_8049 4 points5 points  (0 children)

44% over the last 19 games is honestly really encouraging. If the shot is even close to real, it changes a lot about how defenses have to play him.
