And now the low post.

Welcome to the low post podcast.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

And I've had a couple teams on the mind.

Two teams have been kind of weird seasons, both of whom,

as we podcasted about over the summer,

locked themselves into gigantic contracts for franchise guards.

First, we're going to start with the Portland Trail Blazers.

And we're recording this on Tuesday afternoon.

What a difference a week or so makes the Blazers

are on top of the world.

Nine and three, all the Blazers fans who heard people

like me say, it's kind of a lot team, 500 team,

yelling, screaming, taunting.

Then Damien Lillard's calf strain acts up.

They've lost four out of five.

And I'm interested to see what this team is

and to talk about it.

I'm going to gash you up right off the bat, Lamar

Hurd, who does the color commentating.

Alongside Kevin Collabro is a star in broadcasting

is and will continue to be a star.
