Both Teams Played Hard: Portland Trail Blazers Fan Podcast

Join Logan and Paul as we talk Portland Trail Blazers basketball!  We talk about the big questions facing the team as training camp looms -- who's the starting 3?  How does the frontcourt rotation sort out?  Which players need to prove themselves to earn rotation minutes?  We also discuss the failure of USA Basketball in the FIBA World Cup competition, and give a salute to Shaun Livingston.

We're back to update you on the offseason! The Blazers have a significantly revamped roster after several trades and free agent signings.  What do we think of the moves Neil Olshey has made so far, and how will he fill the two remaining roster spots?  Plus, we review the new-look Western Conference and talk about where the Blazers fit in.  Join Logan, Paul, and special guest host Russ as we talk Portland Trail Blazers basketball!

Paul, Logan, and guest host Derek recap the magical 2018-19 Blazers season by going player-by-player through the roster, giving thanks and appreciation, as well as hopes and wishes for the offseason.  We tease some of the big offseason questions for the team, talk about Blazers Legend Rod Strickland, and Meyer Leonard's clothing line.  Speaking of which: https://meyersleonard.com/collections/new-releases

Join Paul, Logan and guest host Eustus as we recap the exhilarating 7-game victory over the Nuggets and look ahead to the series against the Golden State Warriors.  Which players stepped up to help us beat Denver in the second round, and what do we need to do to be competitive against the Warriors?

Paul bailed last minute, but the show must go on!  Join Logan for a recap of the Game Four loss to the Nuggets, playoff grades for each Blazers rotation player, and a breakdown of what we need to see from the Blazers to win Game Five and, ultimately, the series against Denver.

Join Logan, Paul, and guest host Kean as we break down the trends in the first four games of the series vs. the Thunder and look ahead to game 5 and (gasp!) what might lie beyond the first round.  What have been the keys to the Blazers' success so far, why have the Thunder played so poorly, and what does it say about where these two teams are at?  Plus, Logan has a bone to pick with the Moda Center.

The playoffs are finally here, and the 3-seeded Blazers have drawn a first round matchup against the OKC Thunder.  Join Logan, Paul, and guest host Chris as we break down the series between two teams that really do not like each other.  Who steps up in Nurk's absence?  How will Dame cope with double-team defenders?  Who comes out on top at the end of the series?  We also predict the rest of the first-round series and share our top ten moments from the regular season.

Join Logan, Paul, and guest host Louis as we digest the loss of Jusuf Nurkic and reassess the Blazers' season hopes in light of the Bosnian Beast's injury.  CJ will be back soon, but is that enough to compete in the first round of the playoffs?  Who needs to step up, and is CJ really all that important to the team anyway?  We look ahead to the final six games of the season and predict where the team will finish in the competitive West.

Join Logan, Paul and guest host Andrew as we talk Blazers basketball.  This week, we talk about the budding rivalry with the Thunder, Enes Kanter's Erdoğan issue, Jake Layman's dunking proficiency, Rasheed Wallace's new gig as a HS coach, and look ahead to the next two weeks worth of games for the Blazers.

Join Logan, Paul and guest host Miles as we dive into the latest in Portland Trail Blazers basketball.  Enes Kanter has played two games in red and black and is already making an impact -- but can he make a difference for the Blazers in the playoffs?  How much do we care about Zach Collins losing playing time, and should we be penning love letters to Neil Olshey just yet? Plus, how does the rest of the regular season pan out for Portland?
