Preseason Thoughts and China Debacle

Peeps in Plaid

NBA PRESEASON HAS BEGUN! How much weight do we put on what’s happened so far? Our thoughts on Hezonja, Bazemore, Whiteside, Simons, and more! What are our predictions for end of season awards and do any blazers have a chance at claiming MVP or any other accolades? And what the heck is going on with the NBA and china!?! Christian and Austin keep the Blazers talk to 30 minutes!!! Then we get political; bringing on Anderson as a guest and discussing China pushed the pod to 45 minutes. Thank you for all input, keep it coming and we’ll do our best to bring you what you want to hear! What topics do you want to hear about next week? What questions do you have? Comment and hit us up on twitter! @PeepsInPlaid @ChristianGmelon @AKaphammer Huge shout out to Ziggy Zay for the intro music and Chimney for the outro music!
