The one where the basketball dads talk about how this year's NBA playoffs are shaping up to be some of the best in recent memory and Shann unveils his secret love for The Golden State Warriors. We rank Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton, and Aaron Gordon's (2!) playoff game-winners. We also dip into Mark Daigneault's haircut, the worst commercials of the playoffs, and possible Anfernee Simons trade interest.

In the annual tradition of every team that exits the playoffs (or never makes it) the basketball dads discuss which of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, or Zion Williamson you would rather have.

Next, we pour one out for our favorite Blazer of all time, Damian Lillard, as he deals with a season-ending injury.

The Get This Man Some Help give out the first annual batch of Helpie awards. Among the honorees in this years award slate: Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara. We also discuss statues, snacks, and fits.

The episode wherein Shann has a personal growth moment and comes to if not LOVE the Trail Blazers' coach, at least appreciate what he's been able to accomplish. Other things discussed in the episode:

• All Star future for Deni Avdija
• Jerami Grant's future with the team
• Toumani Camara's growth
• Where does Robert Williams III keep all his beanies

Thanks to Puma Distortion for the sound!

The basketball dads discuss the head-scratching approach to winning and losing as the Blazers are officially eliminated from the playoffs, Joe Cronin's extension, and what we're looking forward to in the coming offseason.

Other topics include:-

• Deni Avdija's amazing contract and the flexibility that give's the Trail Blazers
• The immaculate vibes of the team
• How we were wrong on Anfernee Simons

Thanks AS ALWAYS to Puma Distortion for the music

The Trail Blazers might have stumbled upon The Man (who will then need some help). Deni Avdija, all of 24 years old, is having himself A TIME. Other things discussed:

• Toumani Camara's new nickname
• Kris Murray's foul shooting troubles
• Draft thoughts

In this episode we discuss:

• Toumani Camara at a family reunion
• Scoot Henderson's leap
• Shaedon Sharpe beginning to believe he's the best player on the court
• The Blazers assist numbers with Jerami Grant on the floor

The All Star Game is broken... so maybe we should just have an enormous 1v1 tournament like the WNBA?! Toumani levels up (again) and the Blazers are going to try and sneak into the play-in tournament (WHAT?!?). Why isn't Shaedon Sharpe starting, what do we hope for in the last third of the season, and Shann share's his universal theory of cool.

• The Blazers do nothing at trade deadline
• Toumani Camara is a top defender in the league
• The Suns are saved from themselves by Brad Beal
• Lakers had a great trade deadline

The Basketball Dads are BACK with that fresh basketball content you've been craving and a continued pondering of the age-old question--do the Blazers have "the man" who needs "the help."
