Magic vs. Trail Blazers Game Day Open Thread

Welcome to the second Game Day Open Thread of thePortland Trail Blazers’ 2023-24 regular season!

Tonight, Scoot Henderson will play in his first home game as the Orlando Magic comes to town.

The concept of a Game Day Open Thread is easy. We start one before the game that carries through the first half. Since comments often overflow at that point, we start a fresh one for the second half. Throughout the game, you get to talk with fellow fans about the action!

You can find viewing information and site conversation guidelines below. Don’t forget to tune in after the game for our instant recap and extended analysis.

Enjoy the start of a new season, and Go Blazers!

Conversation Rules

Please remember our Game Day thread guidelines.

• Don’t troll in your comments; create conversation rather than destroying it
• Remember Blazer’s Edge is basically a non-profanity site
• Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads
• The commenting system is your lifeline to fellow fans and making yourself heard. If you don’t like clicking “Load More Comments”, remember that the “Z” key can be your friend. It loads up the latest comments automatically.

Enjoy the game and the conversation!
