0:00 – Jusuf Nurkic has been upgraded to questionable ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers game against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Plus Ibou Badji is getting knee surgery that will likely end his Trail Blazers season before it got started.
9:13 – Listeners sent in questions so I’ll mess around and answer them. First, if the Blazers somehow beat the Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers in their next two games should it change our perception of their chances?
21:40 – Building a perfect Trail Blazers Frankenstein.

Glad to see Nurk could be back. We need him!
Finally we will have a bigman, just wish he had a adequate back up
Only reason to make the playoffs is to show Cronin just how exposed Billups will get in a 7 games series with his blatant lack of coach chops to adjust and get wins when you need them most.
Good to know we had a guy that we just gave a way money too but couldn't go get a real back up center
Mookie
No Frankenstein, I’d take a Rasheed Wallace clone. This team needs more fierce swagger inside.
Hope it's okay to mention here that ESPN has a story today about former WNBA stars working in the Blazers' front office thanks to Joe Cronin's attitude towards developing diverse talent across the entire organization.
He’s more than likely going to be cut by next yr, too many injuries isn’t good on your resume
Brandon Roy's shooting, with westly mathews defense
Of course we miss his size and rebounding, but Nurk is so essential to our offense too. We use Nurk in so many different sets that we have given up on with him out. I hope his absence and return will remind blazer fans of why Nurk is so important.
Lol when this team drops the next 5 games maybe we will finally start playing sharpe 25+ minutes a game.. need to focus on the future, please trade nurk in the summer
Sean Kemp should be your spitelock instead of Aldridge.

This is really cool to see because i had heard of Ultimate Football GM through Locked On Cardinals so it's cool to see (i assume) the same people making games for other sports
Couldn't we just give them tordal shots
My frankenstien would be dame across the board with wemby
I'd add Alaa Abdelnaby because he has a great name.
