This week we give our take and predicts on the Western Conference Play In Predictions. We opine on the Return of the King and Ice Trae Young. Shaw and I differ on the nickname for the young phenom but we digress and We also weigh in on a recent article written by Veteran journalist and yahoo sports writer Chris Haynes on whether the Blazers really did all it could as Lillard has done all he could for the city of Portland. So much good content in one show you need to be plugged in. Download and Discuss with US!
