About this listen

Dustin and Sage return for the 437th Holy Backboard Podcast after illness and recap roughly two weeks of Portland Trail Blazers action and standings. Portland sits 40–38 with four games left (Nuggets, Spurs, Clippers, Kings), jockeying for position around the 7–10 play-in spots, with a pivotal April 10 home game against the Clippers likely deciding seeding via conference-record tiebreakers. They review big wins over the Nets, Giannis-less Bucks, Wizards, Clippers (114–104), and Pelicans (118–106), and a frustrating loss to the Mavericks marked by missed layups, turnovers, and free throws. They discuss injuries/uncertainty surrounding Shaedon Sharpe, Robert Williams, and Jerami Grant, critique coaching/rotation decisions, especially the limited development minutes for Scoot Henderson and the usage of Donovan Clingan, and debate play-in matchups, preferring the Spurs over the Thunder. They also discuss excitement for the WNBA's return to Portland ,but criticize the WNBA expansion draft presentation and touch on hopes and worries about new Blazers ownership.
