1:15 Ice breaker: [Bachelorette Spoiler Alert] Who is Michelle going to choose?

6:30 The Departure of Neil Olshey, our thoughts on Joe Cronin, and a press conversation for the ages. 

14:00 @Justn_B_Leak“It's messy but we still have Dame and a bunch of fun good dudes. There is still hope. I remember the lockout season with Ray Felton and Co. when they had a lockerroom mutiny and the coach was fired midseason. That season was worse I swear.”

19:15 @NurkicCircus “Do NOT trade @Holla_At_Rob33!!!! He single-handily saved us from a blowout against the @Timberwolves yesterday. 5 steals 4 blocks and numerous deflections. He locked up everyone on that team and was the only reason the game was as close as it was. I STILL have faith In this team as constructed. The rotations just need to change. Less guard minutes and more offense through wings.”

27:30 @Alexancooper “I just wanna see these guys have FUN! And why does the media want Dame out of Portland so bad?”

(30:00)

31:11 @loganakio “I love the guys on this team. Agree with the replies so far— I want to see them succeed, and even more, I want them to be having fun.”

32:00 @Hecubus01 & @playest_4247 “It’s been a rough week, and I want to focus on the positivity. What has been the most enjoyable or fun part of the season? Hot take (may not be that much of a hot take)-Ben Simmons will be a Blazer.”

43:45 @lothringen360 “Who is the one player you would be willing to give up one of our young guys for? If not, why not?”

45:30 @holycowitsthao “Fire Chauncey . . . Specifically tho that no time out call” 

50:00 @janelboyer “Do you think Joe might come back next week? That maybe, Michelle changes her mind about Brendon staying over joe?”

50:30 @BlazerTagPDX “Is Heather a bad Chief Stew or is Jess just a bad 3rd Stew who hates her job (Below Deck)?-Ryan”
