As you might have seen in the fanshots -- courtesy of Outlaw Is Rejector -- KATU KGW apparently reported last night that Terry Porter is going to have his jersey retired this season!

Could this be it? Victory? The suspense is eating me up.

If you're late to the party (or new to this site), start here.

Last night on KGW Sports Sunday they asked Rick Adelman what he thought of Terry Porter getting his jersey retired this year…

Yeah, it was on KGW

I’m sure Craig didn’t talk about it on KATU because I was boothing the show during sports.

Someone else wore #30 for 6 1/2 season after Porter left, and his jerseys are still much more prominent than Porter’s. I’m not saying that I am against retiring the number for Porter… really, I’m not… but I do think it’s an odd situation.

good news i guess

but i’m worried we will lose Ben to a heart attack when the official announcement is made.

and then who will make funny b-rex jokes?
