Analizamos a los Portland Trail Blazers; tanto sus expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, su ataque y defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. Dos hechos marcaron la campaña del equipo, el primero fue el traspaso que permitió la llegada de Kiki Vandeweghe y la salida de Calvin Natt, Wayne Cooper y Fat Lever; el segundo, la elección en el draft de Sam Bowie (también la de Jerome Kersey, pero en ese momento no se espera casi nada de él). Jack Ramsay no supo hacer que el equipo mejorara a pesar de la explosión de juego de Clyde Drexler. Tanto Jim Paxson como Mychel Thomson rindieron por debajo de lo esperado. La dirección de Darnell Valentine no fue buena. Kenny Carr y Audie Norris sí aportaron.

The Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast continues its series on 50-point games continues with a look at the post-merger era, where no dominant stars emerged and 50-point games became increasingly rare. On this episode, hosts Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch discuss the changing of the guard as the ABA merged with the NBA bringing down the total number of professional basketball games and, by doing so, reducing the number of 50-point games immediately. We also delve into the league’s slowing pace, the last year of double-digit 50-point games until the late 80s, a check-in on stats as they related to 2019 and all-time in 50-point games, the lack of dominant stars in the era and much more. We also take a few minutes to talk about one of the greatest duals in NBA history as David Thompson and George Gervin battled for the NBA scoring title on a single night resulting in both players putting up all-time great scoring totals (with some all-time great stories as well!) Additional players discussed include Marvin “Bad News” Barnes, Gail Goodrich, Phil Smith, Pete Maravich, Adrian Dantley, Calvin Murphy, John Williamson, Truck Robinson, John Drew, Mike Newlin, Freeman Williams, Larry Kenon, Billy Knight, Bernard King, Moses Malone, Ray Williams, Kelly Tripucka, Joe Barry Carroll, Larry Bird, Kiki Vandeweghe, Kevin McHale and Alex English.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NCAA Championship finalist, NBA / CBA veteran and broadcaster, Michael Holton. High School: Pasadena, California Michael was a great player in high school. As a senior (1979), he averaged 27 points per game. He discusses his fondest memories of playing high school basketball. Fifteen years later – when Michael entered the coaching ranks – he’d reunite with his high school coach, George Terzian. Michael also talks about his decision to sign with the UCLA Bruins. College: University of California, Los Angeles | Years: 1979-80 – 1982-83 Michael was a starter as a freshman and was named the Bruins’ outstanding first-year player. He recalls his initial fear of perhaps not being good enough to succeed on the next level – that fear was quickly allayed. After winning only eight of the first 14 games, the Bruins caught fire at the perfect time; steamrolling through the 1980 NCAA Tournament, all the way to the Championship Game versus the Louisville Cardinals. For perspective, here’s the list of teams that UCLA defeated and some of the big-time players Michael encountered: Old Dominion (Mark West) / DePaul (Terry Cummings & Mark Aguirre) / Ohio State (Kelvin Ransey & Clark Kellogg) / Clemson (Larry Nance & Mitchell Wiggins) / Purdue (Joe Barry Carroll). In the 1980 Championship game, UCLA lost 59-54. The Cardinals were littered with future-NBA players: Darrell Griffith, Derek Smith, Rodney McCray & Jerry Eaves. Michael reflects on that amazing run to the final. Holton’s freshman season was the senior year for Kiki VanDeWeghe – who went on to star in the NBA, notching-up seven seasons of 20-plus points per game in the 1980s – Michael talks about the importance influence of the Bruins’ junior and senior players. As a sophomore in 1981 (outright) and junior in 1982 (tied with Ralph Jackson), Michael was named the Bruins’ Outstanding Team Player. UCLA made the second round of the 1981 NCAA Tournament, but missed the post-season in 1982. Former guests and friends of the show, Mark Eaton and Nigel Miguel, joined the Bruins around this time, too. Michael talks about the transition from (coaches) Larry Brown to Larry Farmer. As a senior, Michael was named captain and led the team in free-throw percentage. His college career ended (1983) with a second-round exit to the Utah Utes. After reaching the title game as a freshman, Michael contrasts his feelings about exiting the tournament early (as a senior). NBA / CBA career | Years: 1983-84 – 1991-92 We discuss the 1983 Draft. Michael’s opportunity to play in the NBA would have to wait one season. After Golden State waived him (October, 1983), he signed with the Coquis; the Continental Basketball Association’s (CBA) newly-minted expansion franchise. The Coquis made it to the playoffs, before bowing out to Phil Jackson’s Albany Patroons in the semi-finals. In late September of 1984, Michael signed with the Phoenix Suns as a free agent – joining former Bruins teammates, Mike Sanders and Rod Foster. Holton recalls the step-up from Puerto Rico to the Suns. His Suns met the would-be NBA Champion, L.A. Lakers, in the first round (0-3) of the 1985 Playoffs. As he displayed throughout our chat, Michael has a great sense of humor, regaling his first taste of playoff basketball. After a 0-4 start to season, Phoenix waived Holton. He returned to the CBA and played a key role – scoring 13 points – leading his CBA All-Star team to a 110-108 win over defending champs, Tampa Bay, in Florida. That was February 11, 1986. Michael details the wonderful background behind his meeting with the Chicago Bulls’ VP of Operations, Jerry Krause, moments after the aforementioned CBA game. Holton signed the first of two 10-day contracts with the Bulls – he’d later sign with the team for the rest of the season. Michael Holton joined the Bulls franchise at a fascinating time in its history. Michael Jordan had broken his foot in just the third game of the season; he hoped to make an on-court return before season’s end. Holton’s future with the Bulls was largely dependent on Jordan’s injury rehabilitation. He shares unique insight into his early interactions with not only his new teammates, but his practice-court battles with a young Air Jordan. We discuss the details behind an incredible promotional poster – Raging Bulls – that Michael appeared on. When Michael was left off the Bulls’ (1986) post-season roster – to make way for Jawann Oldham – he accepted an offer to play overseas for the Great Taste Coffee Makers, in the Philippine Basketball Association. He enjoyed considerable success in a short span – including two 40-plus point games. Michael signed as a veteran free agent with the Blazers, in August of 1986. He joined the team for its Summer League games in Los Angeles. In one of those games, he scored 37 points against his former team, the Phoenix Suns. The Trail Blazers’ Mike Schuler, replaced the legendary Dr. Jack Ramsay. In his first season (1987) at the helm, Schuler led the Blazers to a 49-33 record – the best effort for a Portland team since the 1978 campaign – and won Coach of the Year honors. Holton’s second season with the Blazers resulted in an even-better regular season (53-29). His responsibilities also increased significantly as he became a trusted part of the rotation. Michael discussed his increased role with the team and some of the all-time Blazer greats that he played with, including Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. As one of the (Blazers) players left unprotected for the (June 23, 1988) NBA Expansion Draft, Michael was picked by a new franchise – the Charlotte Hornets. He was selected sixth by the Hornets (12th overall), who alternated picks with the other new franchise – the Miami Heat. We chat about the build-up to the Hornets’ NBA debut and how the city at-large, immediately fell in love with the new franchise. The new franchise’s amazing fans ensured that Charlotte Coliseum would be packed to the rafters. The Hornets led the league in attendance in eight of its first 10 seasons – they were in second place, the other two occasions. Holton started at point-guard in Charlotte’s first 60 games and arguably had his best NBA season in 1989, averaging 8.3 points, 6.3 assists and one steal per game, in just over 25 minutes per contest. Michael required back surgery prior to the start of the 1990 season. After an 8-32 start, Coach Harter was replaced by Gene Littles. He steered the team to an 11-31 finish, as the Hornets ended the season at 19-63. Holton only managed 16 games in total and didn’t return to the court until late February (1990). He talks openly about his recovery from surgery, watching from the sidelines as the team really struggled, and the franchise’s expectations of his return. Three days shy of the start to the 1991 season, Charlotte waived Michael. Michael finished his playing career with stops in the CBA. First, with the Tulsa Fast Breakers and then, the expansion Tri-City Chinook. He reflects on how his on-court career played out, including his last attempt to make it back to the NBA. Michael transitioned into coaching, not long after retiring as a player. Following stints in high school and two seasons with Oregon-based colleges, he returned to UCLA – this time as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. The team enjoyed great success (1996 through 2001). Michael talks about what it was like to return to the Bruins, almost 15 years after he left the school as a player. We also talk about Michael’s tenure as head coach at the University of Portland. He left the Pilots in 2006, after five seasons. He shares his thoughts on leading the team and highlights from the journey. NBA great, Terry Porter – Holton’s former teammate on the Blazers – was recently named head coach at the University of Portland. We briefly talk about the task ahead of Terry, as the upcoming season approaches. These days, Michael works for the Portland Trail Blazers’ broadcasting team. Recently, he teamed up with his former (UCLA and NBA) teammate, Mike Sanders, for a camp in the Czech Republic – part of the Michael Holton Basketball Academy. He talks about the importance of giving back to the community. I ask Michael to recall “The Game I’ll Never Forget”. Our conversation concludes with a brief discussion about the significance of the jersey numbers that Michael wore throughout his career. People mentioned in this episode, include: Sidney Green, John Paxson, Kyle Macy & Gene Banks.

Adam & Aaron celebrate the 30th anniversary of Michael Jordan's second season in the National Basketball Association. This episode covers: - NBA regular season - January 23 through February 6, 1986 - Insightful minutiae, all but lost to the annals of basketball history In this episode, we discuss numerous happenings from the next 15-day block of the 1985-86 NBA season. The Chicago Bulls played eight games in this span – two wins and six losses. The Michael Jordan-less Chicago Bulls were struggling to keep its head above water. Could they weather the storm, prior to the on-court return of the franchise cornerstone? The Bulls had some great individual performers - the talented (rookie) Charles Oakley; the sporadic brilliance of (troubled) Quintin Dailey; and ageing star, George Gervin, to name a few - yet couldn't string together more than three-consecutive wins since Jordan injured himself in just the third game of the season. In other NBA news, the Los Angeles Clippers had their first win - since moving from San Diego - over the cross-town Los Angeles Lakers. On the topic of historical achievements, Manute Bol recorded an astonishing (equal career-high) 15 blocks, in his Washington Bullets' win versus the Atlanta Hawks. Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics continued to steamroll opponents, en route to a 13-game winning streak; remarkably, it wouldn't be the longest such streak the team enjoyed during this season. Tune in to hear this and plenty more, as we uncover some hidden gems from the NBA's golden era. This episode continues our coverage of the 1985-86 NBA season. We encourage your interaction.

The CSG crew is fired up to talk Broncos football. A big win in the Mile-High City will do that to a couple of homers, but the Broncos planted themselves on the national map with their prime-time win over the Steelers. But there is more to talk about than the Broncos as the Denver Stiffs is busy with the Nuggets; with training camp opening in a matter of weeks. Ross and Nate breakdown the poll of, "Most Sports-Hated Player: Denver Nuggets" on Denver Stiffs and Ross shares a couple of stories about Kiki Vandeweghe. Should Bernie Bickerstaff draw the stink eye of Nuggets Nation? How do the fans feel about Carmelo Anthony? What in the world is Anthony Carter and Dale Ellis doing on this list? Plus, the guys talk about the Nuggets mission to have top-10 players at each position and how the team can fare heading into training camp. Can the Nuggets really be a contender? Why not dream big? If things break right, which they can in the sports world, the Nuggets could go farther than you think. Get ready for some heavy Broncos talk - the guys are breaking down the Steelers game, Top 5 style, and previewing the big Monday night match-up with the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 17th. As always, check out the Broncos news over on Mile High Report. If you are thinking it, they have an article about it.
