With the passing of Robert Duvall, trying to pick his 5 best films is an exercise that's too difficult on a Tuesday...plus, what would you buy if it only cost a buck?

Travis Demers and Chad Doing break down All-Star Weekend, and the Blazers involvement.  Including Deni Avidja's first appearance, Yang Hansen and Donovan Clingan in the Rising Stars Challenge, and Damian Lillard's third three point contest victory.  Plus, why the All Star Game was actually entertaining, and why the slam dunk contest has become the worst event of the weekend.  They also talked about the Blazers chances down the stretch of the season. 

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NBA and MLB futures. The San Antonio Spurs are being priced at over 56 and a half wins on DraftKings, with the over carrying minus 125 juice, and that number reflects both expectation and opportunity. With Victor Wembanyama on the roster, San Antonio enters every matchup with a legitimate chance to win, and that foundational advantage underpins the case for backing the over. Clearing 56 and a half wins requires at least 57 victories, a threshold that aligns with what it will likely take to secure the top seed in the conference at minimum. There is a realistic path to 60 wins, but the wager only demands 57, creating a margin that supports the position. The remaining schedule presents challenges, ranking as the 10th most difficult, yet it also includes a mix of matchups that can be leveraged. Games against the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Indiana Pacers, and Dallas Mavericks are on the slate, along with contests versus the Bucks and the Grizzlies. Within that structure lies the opportunity to accumulate the necessary wins. Given the talent at the top of the roster and the balance of competition ahead, the Spurs are positioned to reach at least 57 victories and push beyond the posted total.

The city of Portland has recently uncovered several piles of money no one knew was there. At the same time, the city is looking at a pot of money that some say should be off limits to keep the Portland Trail Blazers in town.   We are living in a time of meager public budgets. Look pretty much anywhere in Oregon these days, and you find school districts preparing cuts, state budget writers figuring out what has to go, and cities looking at tough choices. So it’s been notable in recent months to see the city of Portland stumbling over piles of money that no one knew was there. At the same time, the city is scrambling to make sure it keeps the Portland Trail Blazers in town, and to do so it’s looking at a pot of money that some say should be off limits. We are diving into the city’s bank accounts today – with a side of sports talk.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Jimmy Watkins break down one of the most memorable nights of the Cavaliers' season — a 130-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers powered by historic performances from Jarrett Allen and Craig Porter Jr. Allen delivered a career-best outing, pouring in 40 points and grabbing 17 rebounds while anchoring the Cavs in the absence of injured starters. Porter added his own stamp on the night, showcasing poise, playmaking, and control as Cleveland's backup point guard. The conversation also explores how Cleveland's ball movement helped lighten Donovan Mitchell's offensive load, what that balance could mean long-term, and how recent roster changes — including the arrival of Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis — factor into the Cavs' evolving identity. The episode closes with a look at Mitchell's latest All-Star nod and the importance of managing his workload as the season intensifies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
