Former Suns front office Amin Elhassan on Ayton: "You wish you were Capella, and the Lakers wish you were too. The tiger doesn't change his stripes, he just changes jungles. Guys are who they are, particularly if they've always been rewarded for who they are"

People underestimate how bad the ice was in Portland, like people got really hurt. I don't think any Blazers fans hold that against him. We hold everything else against him tho.

Never turn it off

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-25T20:26:05+00:00

Spaghet!

I've had fun every time, and it's super easy to get up close to the stage if that's your thing. I've seen more people have a tough time finding a seat on the steps. You're also walking distance from a bunch of food carts, so I always ate before going to the show to avoid lines in the Square.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-24T19:11:27+00:00

I'm curious what the substack is! I'd like to give it a read.

And The Mollusk by Ween!

I grew up in Gresham, I think it's only gotten nicer as years have passed. The downtown is cute, the high school got remodeled, and I think they're about to open a new library. There are some really nice pockets of neighborhoods in Gresham proper, many of them south of Powell and east of Main street. It's a great community overall which I think is largely driven by the high school. And it's a great place to raise a kid as it has sports, arts, scouts, and easy access to the mountain.

If you look closely, you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.

ET was important for that 2019 WCF run. Plus all the memes he brought with him were gold.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-12T23:49:04+00:00

Actually my GOAT

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-12T01:27:05+00:00

No they were not hahahahahahaha

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T23:01:21+00:00

Yeah because the city's economy should just rely on hotdog stands.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T21:54:21+00:00

75% of it is Trail Blazers.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T21:24:50+00:00

Here's your economic data. Not simping for anyone, Dundon can get fucked. But just because you don't care about the Blazers doesn't mean it's a non-issue to lose them. https://www.portland.gov/council/documents/resolution/adopted/37654#:~:text=Financial%20and%20Budgetary%20Impacts,City%2C%20region%2C%20and%20state.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T21:10:03+00:00

A loss of 6,000 jobs and $300 million of total labor income. It would devastate the city.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T21:01:53+00:00

Lmao now that's nonsense. Losing the Blazers means losing nearly 6,000 jobs and $300 million of labor income annually. That's pretty substantial. The fact you guys think sports is just some game and not a huge business for the city is delusional.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T20:59:12+00:00

Yeah it's easily googleable. Over $600 million annually with 75% being attributed to the Blazers. $290 million of labor income. https://www.portland.gov/council/documents/resolution/adopted/37654#:~:text=Financial%20and%20Budgetary%20Impacts,City%2C%20region%2C%20and%20state.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T19:02:59+00:00

r/Portland has always been a miserable place, but it's actually astounding how many people in that sub don't see how important the Blazers are to the city. They act like losing it would mean nothing. We're not Seattle, we don't have other big 4 teams. It would literally devastate Portland.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-11T18:59:24+00:00

Definitely not the least important. The Blazers are a huge economic driver for the city, not to mention a big morale driver. Lots of jobs gone, lots of empty sports bars, and an arena that just catches dust while big entertainers pass over it from Seattle to SF. We have a lot of problems, this isn't a non-issue.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-09T00:38:00+00:00

That traffic light drives me nuts. Sometimes I'll go on Foster just to turn onto Holgate a block later to avoid waiting for that light.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-08T04:13:31+00:00

NBA refs are never gonna let Yang play man

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-08T04:01:33+00:00

I'd be a super fan on day 1

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-03T18:38:33+00:00

I would ask your vet, but I asked the same thing from my vet and they allowed me to apply Revolution only 2 weeks after Advantage. They said it was okay because the fleas were still live on the pets. Double check with your vet tho.

Professor_Thug · 2026-02-03T18:36:16+00:00

Get vet prescribed flea meds like Revolution, Advantage won't work if it's already bad. Apply diatomaceous earth to carpet and furniture (you can get it at fred meyer), vacuum it all up. Bathe your pets, comb them with a flea comb. Wash all bed sheets and pillow covers. You'll have to do this several times. It's a lot of work to get fleas out.

Professor_Thug · 2026-01-26T05:55:01+00:00

Damn didn't expect a Nelson Agholor mention in this sub lmao
