Hi all!

New to the board, and new to the Blazers fanbase -- but have been keeping up with them ever since I moved out to the PNW a couple years back. Really looking to dive deeper into their games this season and learn more about the team. So I wanted to create a list of resources for myself.

So, what are your favorite blogs, pods, resources for news/stats? List some of them out and why they're worth checking out! I'll start with some of the ones I really like:

- RIP City Report (pod): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rip-city-report/id796391013
- Halftime Hoops (news, discussion, stats): https://halftime.app.link/info
- Blazer's Edge (SB Nation): https://www.blazersedge.com/

Looking forward to what you all suggest!

Just listen to Neal Olshey and Stotts. Don't listen to anyone else. It's all BS and misinformation. Just listen to those 2 guys and your own common sense. Unless, you like BS and misinformation. Then, you can get that from any of them.

Analysis from Michael Holton, if he's still around, is pretty good. Most of the so-called basketball experts are just entertainment experts. There are other good analysts like the Van Gundy brothers.

Blazers have a website and youtube page where you can find pressers and interviews of Olshey and Stotts. Also, any podcast or interview featuring either of these men as a guest.

Awesome -- this is great. Thank you! I'll look out for Olshey and Stotts for sure!

Blazersedge has some decent content, and quite a few knowledgeable posters, but do beware as the mods are quite draconian with straight-up deleting any comments that do not fit the agenda or zeitgeist of the site.

I didn't say to believe them. I believe nobody. I listen to those worth listening to, usually just NO and Stotts, and believe only what I see.
