Jacked Ramsays: A Portland Trail Blazers Podcast

It may be cold outside but it was awfully hot inside Moda Center tonight between the  Portland Trail Blazers  and the  Miami Heat  tonight. Miami leaves with a 115-109 victory over Portland, but not before both Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro were ejected alongside Jusuf Nurkic for the Blazers. It wasn’t the best-played game, with Portland struggling to do anything offensively in the first half outside...

The Ant’s are marching in... and leading the  Portland Trail Blazers  to a victory in Portland, 136-131 over the  Atlanta Hawks . A game that saw Trae Young go for 56 points and 14 assists, also saw Anfernee Simons for for43 points and 7 assists - with some inspired play from Jusuf Nurkic down the stretch that was equal parts nail biting and unbelievably calming. Nurkic finished the night with num...

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they take a look at Monday night’s Trail Blazers vs Clippers game that saw Portland lose to Los Angeles 102-90, albeit in significantly less spectacular fashion than their previous three.

The Trail Blazers dropped only their second home game of the season, falling to the  San Antonio Spurs  114-83. While missing Damian Lillard and Nassir Little, the Blazers also lost the services of Anfernee Simons early on to a sprained ankle - exacerbating issues that were already apparent. The Blazers couldn’t score NOR could they stop the Spurs. It was a problem. The Spurs, one of the worst thr...

In spectacular fashion, the  Portland Trail Blazers  lost yet another road game by allowing an inferior opponent to score at will from anywhere and everywhere. Unfortunately, tryptophan can’t even be used as an excuse for the sluggish defensive effort as the Blazers lost to the Kings 125, 121. Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they break down an inexcusable effort from the Trail Blaze...

Damian Lillard has looked more like himself recently, more explosive getting to the rim, more willing to take (and make shots) from beyond the three point line. Mostly just looking like what we’ve all become so accustomed to over the years. However, is he getting healthier? Perhaps it’s shedding all those bad habits he had over the last 9 years? Maybe the weight of 6 months worth of physical, ment...

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they break down Saturday night’s Portland Trail Blazers victory over the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers, 118-111.

Nassir Little, Norman Powell and Jusuf Nurkic put u...

Join the Jacked Ramsays Postgame show with hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they take a look at Sunday night’s brutal beat down of the  Portland Trail Blazers  by the  Denver Nuggets , 124-95. The opening quarter set the tone, where most of the Blazers’ starting lineup looked like they’d rather be anywhere but where they were. Calling it sleepwalking through a quarter is disparaging to ac...

The Portland Trail Blazers fall short in their bid to win their first road game of the season and fall to 0-6 on the road with two more games on the trip before heading home to a back to back. It was an unusually cruel night as the Blazer’s demise was not handed out by Chris Paul or Devin Booker - not Mikal Bridges of the villainous Jae Crowder. Instead, Frank “The Tank” Kaminsky embodied the Four...
