The Trail Blazers have lost 7 of their last 8 and the world is crashing down around them.. or is it? Join Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they look at the last 2 weeks of Blazers basketball that have seen the once bright outlook on the season darken as injuries and losses pile up.
Can the Blazers get to Christmas at .500? Sitting at 11-11, the Blazers have 11 more games before Christmas day – including another 6 game road trip. The good news? Up until now the Blazers have played the most difficult schedule in the league and even with all of their injuries, they sit at .500 with a chance to be at or above that line come the 25th.
With multiple games against he Minnesota Timberwolves (11-11) (who will likely be without Karl Anthony-Towns) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (9-13), and games against the San Antonio Spurs (6-16) Houston Rockets (5-16) the Blazers have the chance to perhaps pick up some wins they’ve dropped along the way to the LA Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers and right the ship as they head into what looks to be a busy trade season post December 15th into the mid January window.
While the team clearly has shortcomings, do they need a trade now? What’s the biggest issue- health? Coaching? Personnel? A combination of all of them? Tap in and talk about it now!

Another excellent show fellas. You both provide level-headed and well thought out takes. Thank you both!

Nurk is bad bad. gotta go
This is kind of blowing my mind❓ when Nurk is not on the floor we are terrible!!! I don't know what game you guys are watching our defensive schemes have become predictable and we are blowing matchups and Chauncey's not doing anything to switch rotations and schemes. By the way look at nurks +-
Joejoe Biden Biden, Biden GO! GO! Intro music lmao
Absolutely love this show. Always my first listen, only complaint is not enough!
If i was billups and saw that crap defense from sharpe he wouldnt have saw another minute a time and id make sure he knew why……on rhe other hand sharpe looks bored standing in the corner and the offense completely non existent movement is terrible……get people involved and run some damn plays……i sure miss the old nba……the reggie millers running off screens the whole game…..im a huge fan for 40 years but the nba and all its rules is becoming unwatchable
Everything is cool! Peeps need to chill! We weren’t winning the chip this year. Thank you both for pointing out the obvious to night
Before the regular season I predicted they would finish 13th (ahead of only Houston and San Antonio), because of injury. I stand by that. They will be sixth from the bottom.
4-7 ending Dec 23, 15-18 overall by Christmas… love this team, you guys are doing great with the show.
No you absolutely correct We need a center we don't have one. We need someone who can defend the Rim make a shot in close And block some shots every once in a while.. And looked as if you care . look like The game mean something to you.. Is that too much to ask for .just play like you care.
This exactly how I feel right now as a fan I’m not to high or to low in right where I expected us to be. When I be listening to the other platforms defend Nurk & make all these excuses it crazy to me especially since I’m a true fan & I want to see Nurk exceed expectations but he just doesn’t cut it for me I see him out there & I feel like every player feels like Lebron felt 2 days ago attacking the rim they have no respect & know that’s when they can attack when they see Nurk all flat footed trying not to foul let alone play defense … Josh Hart for me isn’t even looking to take a three & I think it’s by design like grant is not a great rebounder so chauncey it’s telling Josh attack the glass all the time ….. & we all know we 2 pieces away from where we need to be for next season cause we know we not winning a chip this year … BUT we will make noise in the playoffs
How does that math work? 44% from 3 on two attempts is what you said for Nurk.
Good show guys, I appreciate the positive spin even if I don't agree. I think the team is in more trouble than we want to admit.
For a while there is seemed like Hart was playing too good to trade. Do you feel like his unwillingness to shoot brings him back down to a likely trade piece or do you feel like he was ever actually too good to trade?
