    I suggest everyone here do themselves a favor and find the song "Aqueous Transmission" by Incubus. 7 minutes of pure bliss.

    Can I just listen to “Sunshine on my shoulders” and “Annie’s song” back to back?

    Blazers had over 100 FG attempts against Utah!
    Coach was impressed. Podcasters were happy. Fantasy stats were oozing out of the boxscore.

    besides the Blazers, there's another NBA team that scores a ton but gives up wide open shots on defense. The Blazers look like a Charlotte Hornets clone of the western conference. Buckets buckets buckets, and a top 5 draft choice all but guaranteed.

    Walker & Murray look like statues out there. Camara should probably get moved to top of rotation ahead of Kris & Jabari.

    if Toumani plays "winning culture" basketball, then maybe the Miami Heat will offer a future pick for Camara?

    This Blazers team has plenty of talent to make a low rung playoff spot. Cronin traded for 3 players from playoff teams. Ayton, Brogdan, R.Williams.. terrific trade. Resigning Grant & Thybulle were slick moves. Simons, Scoot & Sharpe are extremely talented. A really good coaching staff could get this group into a low rung playoff position.

    I have to "learn" to back off Coach Billups. He's been handed 3 completely different rosters in his 3rd year as Blazers coach. A lineup with pre-designated cards on the trade for picks table. It can't be easy not knowing who's going to stick around after the trade deadline.

    The comparison with this year's Baby Blazers and what MIL is dealing with now that Dame brought his __efense to the Bucks is quite the contrast. We discussed at 'length' how much better the Blazers are with the improved work, effort and length. The contrast is staggering. These kids are so much better already and at a young age. Ayton (DRTG of 98) and RW3 (DRTG of 100) aren't having to taking on guards walking through the key every time down the court anymore.

    They still can't shoot as a team, but the effort and potential is fun.

    All I know is Nate interrupts too damn much!...

    There was some audio issues. I'm not sure how to describe it though, like the mic was being yelled into and there was distortion.

    But really digged the episode. Next thing you guys should work on is a theme song and opening clip. Or just spend the first 5 minutes on a still photo with some obnoxious music.

    (tho honestly, it would be damn funny if you were to re-create an iconic sitcom theme intro...like from Bob Newart show, or Cheers or something)

    We have absolutely talked about having an intro with some graphics....just not our strength. Anyone who could help with this, would be much appreciated.

    The audio was probably due to my setup as I don't have my mic down here at the Southern Command Center and we are dealing with just a touch of delay due to the distance. Our timing was a bit off and I noticed I interrupted Nate a couple of times as well.

    Appreciate the feedback. We've heard some good things....we just need to get it out to a larger audience. That is something else neither of us is great at. Make sure to 'Like', comment and subscribe. Share on your Facebook pages or any where else that will draw eyeballs. We want to make this as good of a production as possible.

    Any ideas or input is welcome.

    My mic definitely was distorting. First time it has done that. Maybe I need to turn down the input a little bit. It didn’t do it the whole time.

    I really enjoy the podcast. I don't need fancy graphics because I don't "watch" it, I listen to it. You guys have a take on the Blazers I can listen to for a whole podcast. I don't get that with most Blazer podcasts. You've avoided the trap of being polarizing which is refreshing.Highkin does a good job of that as well.

    Appreciate the kind words. Yes, a lot of people just listen, so maybe we are discussion adding things that wouldn't really matter.

    Yeah, it was a random maybe 20 seconds? At first I thought my headphones were screwy.

    It's a minor issue imho. I like the cadence you guys go with, and you aren't over the top cheesy or homeristic.

    I've noticed that too. I don't skip or zone out. As much as I like Jacked Ramsays, there are times when they lose my focus. I don't with your guys show.

    Yeah, good podcast. I enjoyed it. The thing about the logjam once Ant comes back.....
    I think it is Brogdon who gets partial minutes at SF with Camara...the guy is 230. He can handle it

    Scoot-Brogdon
    Sharpe-Ant
    Camara -Brogdon
    Grant-Walker
    Ayton-Williams

    Tisse is the 10 player in the rotation

    Simons does not need the ball in his hands. See the video when he hit 13 in a row. He can be that 3-point specialist you crave. He does not have to have the ball in his hands to be successful
