Greetings from the outskirts of the Motor City. With the Trail Blazers reaching the midway point of a six-game road trip, the time was right to record the 28th edition o The Brief Case podcast, which you can listen and subscribe to below...
On this edition, I, Casey Holdahl, discuss...
• The Trail Blazers being in a four-way tie with the Lakers, Pelicans and Jazz for the last two spots in the play-in tournament
• How the Trail Blazers have fared versus the spread and how many games they'll need to win in the last month to hit the over on their season win total
• Non-updates on the injuries to Anfernee Simons, Jusuf Nurkic and Justise Winslow
• Winning back-to-back games versus the Magic and Pistons despite not playing their best, especially in the fourth quarter
• The recent play of Cam Reddish and how it's one of the few positives of so many players being out due to injury
• Nas Little's big shot in Orlando
And then we finish up with Damian Lillard discussing putting up a triple-double in three quarters versus the Pistons and his thoughts on gang rebounding, the increase in physicality he's noticed as teams focus more of their game plan on slowing him down and his prospect of winning the NBA's scoring title this season.
