    Mike and Mike were back together for the first time in weeks (months?). Great episode with Joe Freeman and t-Rob as guests. Joe had some good insights into the new players and set the stage perfectly for the Robinson interview.

    *Per Freeman, the Blazers have completely revamped their defensive philosophy, strategy, and structure. Said we'd get sick of hearing the words "protect the paint."

    Now we have a center, yes. The backbone of a proper defense. Oh and hopefully some mean in Thomas Robinson.

    Freeman said they've begun implementing a new system top to bottom, guess we'll see.

    I liked to hear TRob talk about how he had spent the last season trying to become something he was not ready to be, and how he was ready to hit the D hard

    When he says "the Blazers have completely revamped their defensive philosophy, strategy and structure" does he mean we may actually try to play some this year?

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    According to reports, all they worked on in training camp last year was defense....and the results definitely did not show it.

    You'll have to wait till the transcript comes out because those were my words not his.

    I'm not giving you grief, I'm skeptical of our coaching staff and those particular 47 feet.

    Does that mean because the Blazers are not doing it?
