IT’S FINALLY FRIDAYYYYY! YES! We got Curtis Long filling in for Nigel today because Nigel is on his little anniversary with his wife this weekend. In other newsm, The Blazers did get a win though so that is a plus! The Blazers beat the Hornets and with Jusuf Nurkic lead the team with 24 pts and a solid 16rebounds after we were giving him a lot of crap because he has been throwing up junk in the last few games, and we are happy that he was doing his best Bosnian beast impression against the Hornets. Kemba Walker led the way for the Hornets with 40 pts with the Blazers trying their best to stop that, but it was not enough for Kemba Walker to lead the way for the Hornets and they came up short. The Blazers actually make a trade before the trade deadline, and its Noah Vonleh being sent to the Bulls. We will miss Vonleh and what he did for the Blazers, but his time was up and he had to be moved so we can avoid the luxury tax hit that we would get, but we will not be getting that this year because of this move.

IT’S ALMOST FRIDAYYYY! The Blazers are playing the Hornets tonight in a matchup that is tonight at home. Kemba Walker will be a good threat tonight against them, and the Blazers need a boost after that rough set of road games they had. This game can really boost the teams confidence again, so we will see what happens in tonight’s game, we are all looking for a win! Also we are talking about the trade deadline that the Blazers are not making a move for at the moment, the Blazers are most likely not going to pull a trigger on anything during this time, we can’t split up CJ or Dame so there is really no point of trying to stir the pot with the Blazers, this offseason will be very interesting.

CJ McCollum joins the crew for his weekly segment to talk about the pressures of the trade line and if he is scared at all to see what happens, what he picked for the Super Bowl,
