    Love the reasonable and steady take Mike provides on our favorite team. He’s got a lot of love for the Blazers but gives it to you straight. Def has helped me know so much more about the players and the game.

  • Worth your time

    I’ve been listening to The Pass First Guard for the past five years, and I can confidently say that Mike has the skill and polish of a true professional sports journalist! Among all the Locked On podcasts I follow, Mike is easily the most entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. As a solo host, he has a rare talent for breaking down basketball in a way that’s engaging for hardcore fans while still being accessible to those with just a casual interest in the game. His insights, storytelling, and ... more

  • Mike gets it

    If you’re looking for exaggerated hot takes and rage bait topics, you’ll be disappointed. If mild mannered, well informed, and media literacy focused analysis is more your speed you will be right at home.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trail Blazers in Free Agency: Will Portland Re-Sign Rob Williams? | Deni Avdija's Contract Options
Q: Scoot Henderson, enters this summer as extension eligible. Is he someone you consider extending this summer, and what number would you feel comfortable with?
Given his development timeline and Portland's cap realities, extending Scoot might hinge on a low-upfront deal with a restrictive structure, but a typical starting point could be around 4 for 75 with options, potentially rejected by Scoot if he believes in a higher ceiling; Portland might instead opt to prove-it with restricted free agency leverage, ready to adjust if he demonstrates a breakout season.
Is Donovan Clingan the Trail Blazers Center of the Future? | 2025-26 Season Review
Q: Did Clingan improve his three-point shooting, and how did that impact his usage?
Yes, he expanded his trois-point attempts and made 34% on a high volume of open looks, which allowed him to be a spacing threat and not just a rim-runner, though his release remains slow and largely uncontested.
Is Donovan Clingan the Trail Blazers Center of the Future? | 2025-26 Season Review
Q: What were the worst-case concerns for Clingan's role in year two?
Concerns included whether he could handle a 28-30 minute night with a larger role, if his perimeter versatility would limit him in certain matchups, and whether his offensive game, especially finishing around the rim, would be sufficient in closing lineups.
Is Donovan Clingan the Trail Blazers Center of the Future? | 2025-26 Season Review
Q: What was the best-case expectation for Donovan Clingan entering his second season?
The best case was that he would emerge as an elite defensive anchor and rim protector with an expanded role, potentially earning All-Defense consideration and helping the team become a top-five defense.
Can Yang Hansen Carve out a Role in Year 2 With the Trail Blazers? | Kris Murray Season Review
Q: What's the best case scenario for Yang Hansen?
The best case is that Hansen earns significant early-season minutes, showcases his passing, shooting, and finishing, and becomes a legitimate contributor or even an All-Rookie level impact by season's end, supported by a rotation that allows him to play through growing pains.
