Both co hosts sound like there on weed, the sound is extremely choppy and we’re extremely negative towards the Blazers just because the one host had a bad experience watching them in southern Oregon. Southern Oregon just like most of the state is diehard Blazer country. They don’t support the Warriors. What a stupid thing to say. Just because the host has salty expierence, doesn’t mean you should level complete BS on the show. Locked on Blazers is a much better podcast.
Hard pass.
They do a great job of explaining the game.
One of the best Blazers podcasts out there in what is becoming a saturated market. Been a fan of Dustin since he was on the team's social media staff and I can attest to both being a total studs in real life. These two break down the games of the previous week and analyze the upcoming opponents & make predictions. Definitely a must listen during the playoffs, but a fun ride to hear their thoughts as the regular season progresses. Keep up the great work gentlemen! Peace, Anees
Just moved and started following this team a few seasons ago, these guys make me feel like I’ve been a fan my whole life
These guys know their stuff. Great game breakdown and easy listen.

Two Portland-based hosts provide weekly analysis of the Portland Trail Blazers, blending game-by-game breakdowns with broader roster, coaching, and front-office discussions. Episodes frequently cover breakout players like Scoot Henderson, roster construction, injuries, and strategic debates (pace, defense, and development vs. win-now). Notable patterns include live reactions to trades and playoff situations, comparisons to past eras, and a mix of candid fan banter with informed perspectives that appeal to die-hard Blazers followers and basketball analytics-minded listeners alike. The show often balances homerism with critical takes, making it a go-to for listeners who want both enthusiasm and realism about Portland's long-term trajectory.
