PORTLAND, Ore. - Probably no 30-something-win team celebrated itself more than the Portland Trail Blazers did last week. Contract extension for general manager Joe Cronin. Contract extension for coach Chauncey Billups. Back pats all around. But after three years of ugly and often nameless basketball, the Blazers were respectable, if not downright intriguing, this season. Portland (36-46) won 15 more games than the previous season. Deni Avdija broke out as an impact player.

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups has agreed to a multiyear contract extension, he confirmed to The Athletic on Sunday. Billups, 48, has led the team since June 2021. He has a 116-211 record. Though Portland hasn't made the postseason during Billups' tenure, the Trail Blazers' 35-46 record with one game remaining in the 2024-25 regular season is their best since finishing 42-30 during the 2020-21 campaign. Portland hosts the Los Angeles Lakers at 3:30 p.m. ET to close out this season.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Brian Vu has been a fan of the NBA for 14 years, but he has never experienced a game like the one he attended last week in Portland. Not only did his hometown Trail Blazers beat the Memphis Grizzlies, but also for the first time in his life, Vu said he felt involved in the game, every bit a part of the 18,491 in attendance at Moda Center. Vu, who has low vision, didn't see one play during the Blazers' 115-99 win. But he felt every score, every turnover, every shot.

PORTLAND, Ore. - When Maurice Cheeks was coach of the Trail Blazers, he had a wonderful approach to dealing with stress, chaos and/or conflict that often intersects with life in the NBA. "It's just a moment," he would say. "It will pass."But sometimes, moments don't just pass. Sometimes moments live on, and help shape a life. Just ask Natalie Zito (neé: Gilbert).

PORTLAND, Ore. - When the Portland Trail Blazers were in Utah on Feb. 24, there was a special meeting after the game. Danny Berger, a 34-year-old former basketball player at Utah State, reconnected with former NBA player and now Blazers assistant coach Ryan Gomes. They met years before in Connecticut at a charity golf tournament held by Gomes, but this meeting before the Jazz game carried some added perspective.
