Do you sometimes pray for a Blazer victory? Do you value the community that being a Blazer fan brings? Have you ever felt euphoric after a Blazer game? We brought on Lindsay Strannigan (@LStrannigan) from the Holy Ghosting podcast to talk about it. This isn’t a talk about all religions or the history of religion in sports, it's a look at how we feel as fans and what we get out of it and how sometimes it feels like church.

Plus . . . how are we managing the approaching trade deadline, who do we think is most likely to be traded and great play by Trendon Watford. All this plus our takes and Social Media Player of the Week!
