On this edition of The Brief Case, Casey Holdahl discusses...

• The Trail Blazers returning from a 2-2 road trip, which could have very easily been a 4-0 road trip

• Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara posterizing Jazz center Walker Kessler on back-to-back possessions

• Chauncey Billups speaking one of those dunks into existence

• Jerami Grant entering the concussion protocol after taking a shot to the face in Saturday's loss to the Jazz

• The imminent return of Anfernee Simons, who has been sidelined since the first game of the season with a thumb injury

• The Trail Blazers getting a Disable Player Exemption and whether that means much in the short term

• A rundown of the last week for the Rip City Remix

• Portland offensive and defense ratings nearly a quarter of the way into the season

• The Trail Blazers beating the spread in four of their last five games and when they might be favored in a game for the first time this season

And the show ends with a lengthy sit down with second-year forward Jabari Walker, who discusses the road trip, his recent play, Portland's "bench mob," the importance of bringing energy off the bench, the return of Anfernee Simons and what he hopes to see from the team and himself in the next month.
