Portland Trail Blazers podcast are a dozen for a dime nowadays, but nobody out-entertains Dave and Dia! This week Dave Deckard and Dia Miller rejoice over Anfernee Simons winning the 2021 NBA All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest (while putting that achievement in perspective), review the first half of the season, talk about the second half schedule, and point out the most important factors if the Blazers want to become more than they already are. (Hint: It starts with “Jusuf” and ends with “Nurkic”.) The duo also talk NBA trade deadline, the players they’d most like to see stay or go, Dia’s “Whiteside Line”, and the prospects for Portland to improve either in the next two weeks or this summer.
