Brandon whipped up some Zuppa Toscana soup and then Seth came over to talk about whether or not Portland deserves an NBA title, if the Blazers are doomed to be a Regular Season Team, LeBron, Markelle Fultz, Jimmy, Durant, Melo, and of course, Brandon's most recent pickup run-in.

Brandon and Seth are joined by NBA writer Ananth Pandian (@ananth_pandian) to talk about the Jimmy Butler trade, the best food option at the Moda Center (BBQ chick chos), Jake Layman, the Blazers arena announcer never saying Al-Farouq, the heated pickup basketball they played earlier, and how you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Brandon and Seth talk about the feel good win against the Bucks, which pick LeBron will be on the All Star team, the Wait Til Your Dad Gets Home power rankings, and say the phrase "Meyers Leonard is playing his way into the rotation" multiple times.

Seth and Brandon check-in from Saturday morning run and discuss whether or not Brandon is a toxic locker room presence, if the Kings are tricking us all again, the Blazers win streak against the Lakers, and more. Also with a special guest appearance by the one and only Jewish Draymond: Jake Silberman.

Seth and Brandon talk about: their dads, going into bars as children, Zach Collins's minutes, CJ's trouble at the rim, Pessimistic Predictions, a big shakeup in the Teams That Could Win 2 Games Against The Warriors In The Playoffs Power Rankings, and why Brandon is the Larry David of pickup basketball.

It's a special episode recorded at Brandon and Seth's Saturday morning pickup run. They talk Zach Collins, why handsome Josh Duhamel should have known better, the Brandon Lyons Sandwich, and MVP speculation. Also they talk sh*t about the people they play basketball with.

Brandon is missing so Seth talks about the (mostly) good early season vibes, the tough upcoming road trip, who on the current roster can fill the Rudy Fernandez role, and then suggests the idea of providing every player with one free pass to beat down a fan that provoked them (Adam Silver hit us up [email protected]).

The Blazers season tips off today with a nationally televised game against the LAbron Lakers! Brandon and Seth talk about the match up, the Blazers unclear future, pulling a Jimmy Butler at your regular office job, and a lot more.

Seth and Brandon defend drafting Clyde over MJ, Oden over Durant, and talk some shit about the Trail Blazers front office. This is a sampler of what We Already Had Clyde is all about.
