I want to say Portland because of what we’re trying to do right now, but 2-3 years might not be long enough for our timeline, and also Portland usually finds a way to come up a bit short no matter what.

Tank commander Billups doing a smashing job!

This is probably already online somewhere, so forgive me if I’m asking you to repeat yourself, but… what’s your background with basketball? Did you come into it as a former player with an interest in broadcasting? Or was broadcasting first, and the love of the game grew from there?

Cade was destroying us. Once Camara got on him in the second half, Cade disappeared faster than an Eskimo’s scrotum. Toumani is the real deal on D.

Also, had to listen to the pistons announcers tonight. Credit where it’s due - those guys were impartial and gave big props to Portland the whole game. I would listen to them again anytime. Much better than some of the super biased announcers from other places in the league.

Even though there were turnovers, the increase in pace is noticeable which is great. You can clearly see there’s a new system trying to be run offensively that involves more pace. It will be fun to watch, win, lose, or draw.

Yup. That late 80s Blazers squad would have been a very interesting force to come out of the west to go against some of the juggernauts of the east in that era.
