On this week's episode of the Blazer's Edge podcast Danny Marang is joined by two guests, former Chicago Bulls beat reporter, Blazers fan and all around good guy Sean Highkin as well as the illustrious Dave DuFour, host of "On the NBA with Dave DuFour." It's a little different this time around as they're all in the same room and it's a roundtable discussion at a rectangular table where the topics range from; reviewing the Trail Blazers v Spurs game, the return of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum struggling with efficiency, locking up the 3-seed, rating the confidence level on the Blazers, playoff Jusuf Nurkic, properly rating Zach Collins and more!
