Greetings and happy 2020 to all the Rip City Report listeners out there. Before heading back out for yet another extended road trip, your humble podcasting crew of Joe Freeman, he of The Oregonian/OregonLive.com, and I, Casey Holdahl of Trailblazers.com, wanted to get back into the studio to record the first Rip City Report of the new year, which you can listen to on a number of podcast platforms below...
In this, our 186th edition, we discuss where the Trail Blazers stand at the midway point of the 2019-20 season, whether the playoffs are still in play, and if not, how the team might proceed, Jusuf Nurkic's rehabilitation and whether wins and losses factor into his return and our thoughts on why Portland hasn't signed a stop-gap center.
