Some of you may know that I drive Uber/Lyft on the weekends. Over the past 6 months, I can probably count on one hand how many Blazers-related conversations I've had with riders, even while listening to games or picking people up from games.
Tonight, simply because I was wearing a jacket with a pinwheel on it (which I've had since Christmas), three separate riders engaged me in long, in-depth, enthusiastic discussions on the Blazers' roster and their future.
As an Uber driver, I haven't experienced that since 2022. The city is excited about what this team is doing, and it's becoming palpable and infectious.
