  • Best Blazers ladies out there!

    This podcast will never fall to make you smile, laugh and think about basketball and life with fun, entertaining individuals and they do with it with heart. Their guests always add a great dimension as well. Tara and Cassidy make a great team and offer a great balance to each other. Have had the great pleasure of meeting Tarab in person and she's the warm, bubbly person you hear on the podcast. Much love!

Q: Would you rather make the playoffs or miss it and keep this year's pick?
They see playoff experience as critical for growth and believe the learning from a playoff run can accelerate development, even if it risks a tough first-round outcome; they lean toward making the playoffs to gain that experience and evaluate the team under real stakes.

While it's a fun debate, the hosts believe the team will decide based on performance without being influenced by fan opinions.
WHAT Is On Your Mind?
