Tough Loss In Philly And A Conversation With Simons On The Brief Case

Greetings from New Orleans. Before wrapping this up this nearly two-week trip, wanted to get yet another edition of The Brief Case podcast in the can before heading back to Portland. Please to enjoy...

Topics on this edition include...

• The Trail Blazers' 120-119 loss to the 76ers in Philadelphia Friday night

• The three reasons why that loss stings more than most

• An update on the standings with a month left in the season

• The Trail Blazers covering in a loss, something they have rarely done this season, and what they'll need to do in the final 15 games to surpass their season over

• The returns of both Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic

And then the show wraps up with an interview with Simons about his return to play after suffering a grade 2 ankle sprain before the All-Star break, what he did to better prepare himself this time around, seeing how aggressively defenses attack Dame when he’s not able to play, being one of the veterans on the team at the ripe old age of 23, how he thinks he’s played this season and what the team needs to do in the final month of the season if they want to make the postseason.
