On the latest episode of the WHAT podcast, Tara and Cassidy name their All 2000 Decade team and they are nothing like you would expect. Tune in to find out who they chose, catch up on the Blazers since the All Star Break and ask if we should let go of our anger about the Blazers’ loss on March 6, 2001?

1:00 Icebreaker: Red Vines or Twizzlers? Also black licorice stories. 

2:30 Thoughts on the Blazers without Lillard? CJ McCollum has limited options. There is a big difference between the guys in suits and the guys suited up. 

6:45 Nassir Little has changed his shoes. No more pink. When are the guys in street clothes going to form a suit rainbow?

9:00 2000s All Decade team. What were you doing in 2000? Did you have a favorite player? How about 2010?

17:30 Cassidy’s picks: she agrees with the fan vote for the Trail Blazers all decade team. Adds picks for her favorite players from the Portland Fire: Jackie Stiles, DeMya Walker, Kristin Folkl, Sophia Witherspoon and Sylvia Crawley.

20:40 For Tara’s all-decade team she refused to select anyone who was on the team on March 6, 2001, when the Blazers blew the lead against the Vancouver Grizzlies to lose the game on the night that Clyde Drexler’s jersey was retired. This made it very hard to choose an all decade team. 

27:30 Cassidy was at that game, so she weighs in on if we should forgive the team for that loss. 

28:30 Tara has a superstitious dislike of special nights. 

30:30 Smooth Jazz no more, things are getting rocky in Utah
