Less than eight hours removed from returning to Portland after a two-game road trip to Los Angeles, Joe Freeman, he of The Oregonian/OregonLive.com, and I, Casey Holdahl of TrailBlazers.com, hit the Moda Center studio to record another preseason edition of the Rip City Report podcast, which you can listen to below...
On this week's show we In this edition of the Rip City Report we discuss Portland's performance through four preseason games and whether it really matters all that much, Evan Turner's integration into Terry Stotts' offense, CJ McCollum's every-so-mini preseason shooting slump (which he seemed to put behind him during Thursday night's game versus the Clippers), whether Maurice Harkless has locked up the starting small forward job, how well both Noah Vonleh and Shabazz Napier have played and whether that will result in playing time during the regular season and answer your Twitter-submitted questions about league expansion, preseason rotations and improvement among role players.
