Greetings and a happy belated Halloween. After returning home from a early-season, four-game trip, your humble podcasting crew of Joe Freeman, he of The Oregonian/OregonLive.com, and I, Casey Holdahl of Trailblazers.com, met up at the Moda Center studios to record the 177th edition of the Rip City Report podcast. Give it a listen...
On this week's show, we discuss where the Blazers stand after going 3-2 in their first games, Zach Collins’ shoulder injury, the impact of injuries on the early-season rotations and up and down play in the early going, especially from the bench. Joe and Casey also play a round of "Blazers Stock Watch," consider a few "Walton or Oden's" and finish up by answering listener questions about Halloween costumes, Jusuf Nurkic traveling with the team, the offense, Skal Labissiere, Damian Lillard’s MVP chances and more.
You can subscribe/listen to the Rip City Report on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Play and Spotify. And if you haven't already, consider leaving a review! What could it hurt, besides Joe's feelings? Also, consider checking out the first episode of the First Bus, a new podcast focusing on life on the road with the Portland Trail Blazers hosted by Brooke Olzendam and myself.
