On tonight's pod, we discuss the NBA's Northwest Division - Blazers, Thunder, Timberbulls, Nugs, and the Jazz. We have some 30 for 30s that are quite rangy and theatrical. We have a tough time trying to figure out why teams are so great on defense and have so much talent but still can't win games - our answer may not be what you think...or it could be...I don't know. Nevertheless, we address the Blazers star power in the backcourt and how it doesn't really matter, what getting rid of Melo really means for the Thunder, where the Timerbulls went/are going wrong, why the Nugs really haven't gotten any better, and whether the Jazz are really as good as people think. All that and more on the pod below:
