The Brief Case, Episode 81

The Brief Case

On the latest edition of The Brief Case podcast, Trail Blazers beat reporter/insider Casey Holdahl discusses...
• Portland's loss to the Heat on Tuesday to finish off a winless month of February
• Staying motivated during a nine-game losing streak
• Deandre Ayton suffering a right hand sprain and the status of Portland's injured players
• Portland's offernsive, defensive and net ratings with a month and a half to go
• The Trail Blazers failing to cover in seven-straight games and the increasingly unlikely prospect of hitting the over on their season win projection
And the show wraps up with an interview with Trail Blazers guard/forward Dalano Banton regarding his first few weeks in Portland, the difference between playing for his former team and his current team, whether a "perfect situation" exists, how he would describe his style of play, growing up in Toronto, the state of basketball in Canada when he was growing up compared to where it's at today, his journey from Rexdale to New England to Western Kentucky to Nebraska and what his hopes are for himself and the Blazers in the last month and a half of the season.
