We Have A Take: A Portland Trail Blazers Fan Podcast ·

2023/09/25

Dillon Sage (@dasage) of Holy Backboard (@holybackboard) joined Tara to help level-set a few observations before the new season starts. We lovingly looked at each player on the roster to talk about what he brings to the court: does he dribble, pass and shoot? And what is his one skill that you can count on to get him or keep him on the court? It's a long one but full of great observations from Sage to get us excited for the new season! 1:30 Catching up on the Blazers situation 13:00 Anfernee

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has been ballin' at the 2023 FIBA World Cup in the Philippines this summer. We could not be more excited because, you see, we fell for this Certified Blazers Cutie years ago. First, when he was drafted by the Blazers in 2015 and immediately traded to Brooklyn for Mason Plumlee and Pat Connaughton, and again in 2021 when the Blazers signed him to multiple 10 day contracts before their season fizzled out with a first round loss to Denver.
