Show by Sage Digital

Dustin and Sage return for the 451st episode of the Holy Backboard Podcast with the Portland Trail Blazers sitting at 8-3 and making noise in a competitive Western Conference. The duo recaps a wild four-game stretch that included a frustrating NBA Cup loss to the Lakers, a blowout defeat against the Spurs, and two impressive victories over the Oklahoma City Thunder. They break down Portland's turnover struggles, missed free throws, and Toumani Camara's outstanding defense on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. They also discuss Damian Lillard turning back the clock with a vintage third-quarter takeover against OKC, Sidy Cissoko's emergence in the starting lineup over Scoot Henderson, and Deni Avdija earning recognition on the NBA MVP ladder. Other topics include Ja Morant's injury status and importance to Portland's offense, Robert Williams III playing in back-to-back games, and the team's ongoing need for more consistent three-point shooting. Finally, Dustin and Sage look ahead to a challenging six-game road trip, beginning in Sacramento and featuring a back-to-back against a Minnesota Timberwolves team missing Anthony Edwards. Can the Blazers keep their early-season momentum rolling and establish themselves as legitimate contenders in the West?
