We take turns naming teams that we are interested in down the stretch for better or worse, including: the Pistons, Suns, Sixers, and more!

We look at all the angles and discuss the possible motives for the crazy move. Then, we briefly discuss De'Aaron Fox being moved to the San Antonio Spurs and their chances at making a playoff push.

In this episode, Andy has three takes from the last couple weeks of NBA basketball: We get into Denver's recent surge, SGA's MVP chances, and Portland figuring things out. Then we try out a new segment where we dive into the last week in our personal lives; this week, we're rediscovering reading and exploring a break from social media.

We sat together and watch the NFL Wild Card matchups this weekend and couldn't help but draw quite a few comparisons between how the NFL's product comes across on TV versus how the NBA fares, especially with all the recent news about TV ratings. Then, we discuss the Blazers at this point in the season and potential draft prospects we'd want to see in their uniform next year.

We start off the episode going through the big music releases in the last week, focusing on Tyler the Creator's Chromakopia and Lil Uzi's Eternal Atake 2. Then, we had our weekly Trail Blazers discussion where we talked about the performance of our key young players. We finished off the episode playing a quick game of "I know it's only been 2 weeks but..." as a way of giving some immediate overreactions to the early NBA action.
