Jacked Ramsays: A Portland Trail Blazers Podcast

Hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague take a look at the first 3 preseason games, all losses but does that really matter? How has the offense looked with the starting group all out on the floor - the vaunted “3-guard lineup” featuring Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Norman Powell, Robert Covington and Jusuf Nurkic?

What, if anything, can we take from individual and/or team performance in the preseason? What are the positives... are they there? What are the expectations to start the season - with games that count less than a week away, should there be space allowed for things to be worked out? If it’s not a product of the roster, how long should they be given to iron things out?

Finally, Marang and Sprague make predictions that will in no way, shape, matter or form come back to bite them for: Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, Most Improved, 6th Man of the Year, Finals participants and more.

Join Danny Marang & Brandon Sprague for the live Post Game show, today following the game!

The Portland Trail Blazers took on the Phoenix Suns in the third game of the preseason - one that might’ve had hints of a regular season rehearsal with the full starting lineup out on the floor for an extended run while the Suns had Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder and Deandre Ayton (no Chris Paul) to match them. However, Portland looked lost on both ends and don’t appear to have an identity just yet - is there any cause for concern?

Have there been any noticeable trends? Have we seen Jusuf Nurkic in a different role - and how has he looked? What about Norman Powell - is he getting more/different touches? Hop on the stream with the guys and let them know what you think.

On this Mail Bag episode of Jacked Ramsays - hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague answer your questions leading into the final week of preseason before the points matter and the games count.

The Ben Simmons to Portland noise refuses to die, no matter how much they want it to...once that’s put to bed early they guys take a look at what a great season (statistically) would like for Jusuf Nurkic with a little help from Damian Lillard. Should the very high amount of turnovers in the first preseason game be anything to worry about and a great question for a former Seattle Supersonics fan looking for a new home, what should I be excited about watching this Trail Blazers team?

After that it’s an injury check in on Tony Snell, Norm Powell and Cody Zeller, a quick peek at the upcoming preseason games & schedule changes, news, notes and more!

On this episode - Danny Marang answers your questions leading up to the first preseason game of the year for the Portland Trail Blazers against the Golden State Warriors. How can you measure an overachieving team vs an underachieving Blazer's team this year- what does that bar look like?

Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague are joined for a live show Media Day wrap up by Bleacher Report's Sean Highkin to analyze and breakdown all of the happenings of the official start to the Trail Blazers's season!

Coach Chauncey Billups and his "put an address on it" statement on accountability stole the show, but President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey stepped back under the limelight and acquitted himself much better than previously. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum addressed concerns and thoughts on trade requests, rumors and the like. While Team President Chris McGowan tried to give answers on streaming updates and the thought of the team being for sale. We hit on that and a whole lot more on today's live show!

Looking ahead to Media Day - what to expect? What questions would you want answers to? That’s what hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague tackled on the lead up to the opening of the 2021-22 Trail Blazers season.

When Neil Olshey sits down at the podium - what do you want to know? Does he feel that he satisfied Damian Lillard’s requests? Does it live up to expectations? How different will this team really look? If you’re putting the ball in Jusuf Nurkic’s hands more - who’s getting less of it? If Nassir Little is one of the first guys off the bench, who’s getting bumped backl?

Along the way, Danny has to pay up for his beloved USC Trojans getting humiliated by the Oregon State Beavers - but more importantly, the phrase “Blazer’s legend” is thrown around in a very quaint and joyful manner. So much so that it’s near impossible to not be one - so how does someone become barred from such a status? Who rises above the legends of legends? That and more on this episode!

On this episode of Jacked Ramsays - Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons stops by to talk with hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague!

Ant discusses what he’s been working on this summer, developing as a playmaker, growing his overall game and the expectations that come with an anticipated larger role. How he can be better and build on the last half of the season last year - what he’s learned so far and how to take those experiences and integrate them easier each day.

He also answers some listener questions about expanding his offensive game getting downhill and finishing at the rim more, working with new teammates Cody Zeller, Larry Nance Jr and Tony Snell, the competitiveness of open runs heading into training camp and goals like winning 6th Man of the Year and Most Improved Player... with a slight nod towards possibly defending his Slam Dunk title at All Star Weekend.
