Governor Kate Brown today announced that the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) will be revising health and safety protocols for businesses in Lower Risk counties to allow for the option of creating vaccinated sections.
The new health and safety protocols were developed in partnership between the Governor’s Office, the Oregon Health Authority, and the Portland Trail Blazers to ensure real-world implementation feasibility for large venues. Pending the final approval of Multnomah County’s vaccination equity plan, which will move the county into the Lower Risk level, the Trail Blazers will be the first indoor sports venue in Oregon to welcome fans back to vaccinated sections this week. Physically distanced sections will also be available.

(47-25)
The Portland Trail Blazers enter the playoffs relatively healthy and full of confidence. Winners of 10 our of their last 12 games, the Blazers appear to peaking at exactly the right time. Jusuf Nurkić is playing his best basketball of the season, the three guard lineup of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Norman Powell seems to be clicking, and the defense has gone from miserable to.well, less miserable. Four weeks ago, most of Rip City was ready for the season to wrap up. Now, optimism from most quarters is the rule of the today.
On the other hand, he Denver Nuggets are still smarting from the injury to Jamal Murray on April 12. In most people’s minds, the Nuggets have gone from legitimate title contender to a good team with an MVP-caliber player with no real title chance (sound familiar?). Make no mistake, this is still a fine team with plenty of talent. The Blazers will need to be at the top of their game to have a chance of being victorious. It should be a great serie
