    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.

Mailbag: Which Trail Blazer Reaches the Next Level?! | Hyun-jung Lee Gets a Training Camp Invite
Q: Is Shaedon Sharpe untradeable due to injury, and should the Trade Machine be retired for now?
Shaedon Sharpe is considered largely untradeable for the near term, especially with the injury and the current contract situation; the host advises retiring the Trade Machine until January or December when the market may become clearer, to avoid chasing a speculative move.
Mailbag: Which Trail Blazer Reaches the Next Level?! | Hyun-jung Lee Gets a Training Camp Invite
Q: Which player ascending to the next rank would most impact the number of Blazers wins this season?
The host argues that elevating Denny Avdia from all-star to star would have the biggest impact on wins this season, given the importance of a bankable star to unlock improvement across the roster, even more than boosting Scoot Henderson or other candidates in the short term.
Trail Blazers Big Moves: How Micah Nori and Ja Morant will Shape Portland's 2026-27 Season
Q: What was your initial reaction to the Ja Morant trade for the Blazers?
The reaction centered on surprise and assessment of fit; Morant brings elite playmaking and offensive potential, but the roster already has multiple guards, making the alignment with Dame and Scoot complex. Still, the trade was viewed as an asset move with upside that could unlock offensive creativity if the pieces fit and health cooperates.
What's More Likely?! A Portland Trail Blazers Predictions Game
Q: What's more likely that Brandon Carlson starts more games or Young Hanson starts more games?
Brandon Carlson is more likely to start more games given Hanson is expected to spend time in the G League, and Carlson is a plug-and-play piece with fewer developmental hurdles.
What's More Likely?! A Portland Trail Blazers Predictions Game
Q: Are you ready to play?
Yes, this game is straightforward and we'll compare two scenarios to decide what's more likely.
