Sidy Cissoko scored 19 points with two assists. Portland allowed 49% shooting with 33% from three.

Travis Demers and Chad Doing go off the rails a bit to open the podcast, and then talk about what everyone is thinking.  Why haven't the injured players returned yet? Plus the development of Donovan Clingan, and how has Deni Avdija continued to shine?

First we talk about how we're feeling after a rough stretch of games for the Portland Trail Blazers. Injuries suck, waiting sucks, but watching a team lean into its identity, and watching young players make the most of their unexpected opportunities always warms our hearts. We talk about how Deni Avdija, Jeremi Grant, Duop Reath and Toumani Camara are keeping the team afloat while carefully falling down and quickly getting back up.  Then, We Have A Talk about Sidy Cissoko and what a surprisingly hard time getting pretty basic information about his journey to the NBA. From France to Spain to the G League to San Antonio, Sidy made a lot of stops but we still don't know how many brothers he has or what he wore on draft night!

Travis Demers and Chad Doing talk about the upcoming stretch of 16 days with just 6 games, and how player returns from injury could impact the season.  Also Toumani Camara's offensive role, and Deni Avdija doing it all.

Jude is back to give his thoughts on the Spurs trading Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Sidy Cissoko and picks for De'Aaron Fox!

La mayor liga de baloncesto del mundo trasladó a París dos partidos entre Indiana Pacers y San Antonio Spurs, con la nueva estrella de este deporte, el francés Victor Wembayama. Es la quinta vez que la NBA realiza un juego de la temporada regular en Francia como parte de su estrategia económica, entre otras cosas, porque el país galo es el primer mercado europeo de sus productos derivados. 16.000 personas coreando “wemby wemby” al unísono para celebrar el regreso a su tierra natal de la joven promesa del baloncesto mundial. Víctor Wembayama se fue a mediados de 2023 a probar suerte en la NBA, al final de su primera temporada fue elegido “rookie del año”. En realidad, no se fue al campeonato estadounidense, se lo llevaron como el primero de la draft, un hito para un jugador francés.Fue seleccionado por los San Antonio Spurs. Con ellos puso el ambiente en la sala Accor Arena, en el occidente de París. “Buenas noches, París”, saludaba Wemby al público antes del partido de la temporada regular ante Indiana Pacers. “Como saben, es una inmensa alegría, un inmenso placer poder venir a jugar aquí, a París. Y no quiero que sea la última vez. Quiero que podamos hacerlo más a menudo. Para ello los necesito. Necesito que hagan toda la algarabía posible para demostrar que Spurs, si ustedes están de acuerdo, debe volver a París. Muchas gracias”.  Para esta primera mancha de los NBA Paris Games 2025, los de San Antonio dominaron a los de Indiana sin temblar, para imponerse 140 a 110. Un inmenso Wembayama al marca 30 puntos, ofrecer seis pases decisivos y cinco contras. Con un estilo de juego híbrido gracias a su visión del campo, su capacidad defensiva, el lanzamiento a tres puntos y a sus 2'21 metros de estatura.Uno de los partidos de la temporadaEn el papel los Spurs eran visitantes, pero el apoyo constante del público los hizo sentir como en casa y supieron pagar con espectáculo.“Para jugar un gran partido tienes que concentrarte en las pequeñas cosas, en los detalles y no intentar hacer nada del otro mundo. Eso es todo. Y al final, es la multiplicidad de acciones simples y colectivas lo que hace que el partido sea increíble. Así que estoy orgulloso de mi equipo porque, hoy, han sido capaces de concentrarse en las pequeñas cosas y así jugamos uno de nuestros mejores partidos de la temporada”, le decía Víctor Wembayama a más de 300 periodistas, tras el partido.La franquicia con sede en San Antonio, Texas, compite en la Conferencia Oeste que ya vio a otro francés brillar: Tony Parker. Entre 2001 y 2018 ganó cuatro campeonatos de la NBA y es considerado el mejor jugador de la historia del baloncesto francés. TP hizo parte del grupo de leyendas invitadas al juego.¿NBA made in France? Wembayama hace parte del negocio de exportación de galos hacia la liga de baloncesto más importante del mundo. De los 61 jugadores extranjeros en la temporada actual, 14 son franceses. Otro está en los Spurs y tuvo algunos minutos de juego en el cuarto periodo, el alero Sidy Cissoko.“Tuve la suerte de salir de Francia muy joven para ir a jugar a España (Saski Baskonia). Pero todos tenemos un sueño: llegar a la NBA. Quiero seguir en la NBA mucho tiempo. Espero mi oportunidad para tener más tiempo de juego. Hay que tener mucha paciencia y creo que mi oportunidad llegará algún día, espero. Y es como dice el coach Gregg Popovich: Pounding The Rock, golpea la roca. Así que hay que tener paciencia”, decía Cissoko a RFI durante el último entrenamiento de Spurs en París.“Después de Estados Unidos y Canadá, Francia es la tercera nacionalidad más importante dentro de los jugadores de la NBA y la NBA para desarrollarse en el mundo, para vender su juego, sus imágenes y todos los productos que desarrollan necesitan a estos jugadores internacionales para dar más visibilidad en los países. Los franceses van a tener más interés en la NBA porque tenemos a Wemby y estos 14 jugadores franceses. También los partidos que hacen en otras partes del mundo es una manera para ellos de desarrollar su imagen, su visibilidad y las ventas con un objetivo económico”, explicó Magali Tezenas de Montcel, directora general de SPORSORA, organización que reúne a todos los actores del deporte en Francia.    EN 1990 la NBA empezó su estrategia de visibilidad internacional disputando partidos de exhibición, sobre todo de la temporada regular, es decir de competencia oficial. En Ciudad de México lo hacen desde 1997, en París desde el 2000. El negocio de la NBA Paris Games En un informe publicado por SPORSORA, se lee que la NBA ganó 4 millones de euros en la boletería de 2024, este año podría ser el doble ya que por primera vez se programó una doble confrontación. Más de 200 mil personas postularon en el sitio web oficial para obtener una entrada, tras un sorteo sólo 32 mil personas fueron seleccionadas. Después de cuatro intentos “por fin” Carolina fue elegida y pudo comprar cuatro tiquetes para venir con su familia. “Este año pude ofrecer un bonito regalo de Navidad a mi esposo y a mis dos hijos, apasionados del baloncesto. Pagamos 300 euros por la entrada, así que 1.200 euros en total más el tren desde Alsacia, en el este de Francia y el hotel. El costo fue alto, pero valió la pena hacerles felices”.En la misma fila para entrar al partido, están Thomas y Maxime. Ellos viajaron desde Toloza, sur oeste francés. “Compramos billetes a 400 euros cada uno, para ello rompimos la alcancía. Obligados porque esto es histórico. También compramos una camiseta para celebrar el acontecimiento y es el número uno de Spurs, la de Victor Wembanyama”, expresó Thomas.Camisetas de los equipos, gorras, bufandas, llaveros, imanes, pins… una gran productos son vendidos en tiendas itinerantes alrededor del Accor Arena. “Como cada año, cuando termina la NBA Paris Games, generalmente no quedan muchos productos, solamente algunas camisetas de equipos que cuestan más de 100 euros. Pero las camisetas que cuestan unos de 40 euros se agotan rápido”, aseguró Sacha, vendedora en una de las tiendas oficiales. Y es que Francia es el primer mercado europeo para la NBA en productos derivados.¿Liga francesa de baloncesto Made in NBA? Los equipos de la liga francesa son poco a poco permeados por la cultura de la NBA, lo recordó  Magali Tezenas de Montcel, directora general de SPORSORA: “El propietario del equipo Paris Basketball es americano, es David Kahn, que tenía una franquicia de NBA y vino con toda esta cultura del entretenimiento americano. Y claro que cuando vas a un partido ahora de basket en Francia, cada vez más hay todas estas cosas que funcionan en Estados Unidos”.En los partidos del Paris Basket el ambiente se parece cada vez más a los de la liga estadounidense. Dj, animación entre cada periodo, cánticos al honor del equipo, así como gradas con los colores que lo representan.Un ambiente que disfruta desde el rectángulo Yakuba Outtara, otro de los franceses que ha pasado por la NBA y ahora al servicio del Paris Basket: “Como jugador, es difícil prestar atención a lo que ocurre a tu alrededor porque tienes que concentrarte y pensar en la siguiente jugada. Tenemos tiros que meter, tenemos acciones defensivas que realizar, tenemos sistemas que implementar. Así que tenemos que permanecer en nuestra burbuja y centrarnos en el partido. Por otro lado, a veces, cuando conseguimos cambiar el rumbo del partido y oímos de verdad los gritos del público que nos rodea, es un verdadero estímulo y te da energía".Para algunos el modelo de negocio de la NBA, la liga privada de baloncesto de Estados Unidos, ha inspirado de cierta manera a la Liga francesa. Para los jugadores de la llamada Betclic Elite, es un trabajo en el que pueden ganar entre 100 mil y 2 millones de euros anuales; para el público un espectáculo; para las marcas, una oportunidad de negocio.“El baloncesto interesa mucho las marcas porque es un deporte muy desarrollado en Francia, que se juega en todo el país. Lo juegan igual hombres y mujeres lo que también es importante para las marcas. Tenemos un campeonato nacional que funciona muy bien. La Federación Francesa de Baloncesto es una federación muy avanzada sobre los temas de marketing y de negocio. Y con un equipo nacional que tiene muy buenos resultados”, aseveró Tezenas.Entre los buenos resultados a los que hizo referencia la experta, está el que Francia fue subcampeón olímpico en París 2024 con Víctor Wembayama en el rectángulo de madera. Francia perdió la final 98- 87 frente a Estados Unidos, cuyo equipo completo juega en la NBA.  Escuche el reportaje:Economía del deporte: la fiebre de la NBA en París.

The Lakers are in a unique situation when it comes to Thursday's NBA Draft.First, they have a first round pick, and seem inclined to actually use it, rather than automatically defaulting to sending the selection away in favor of a more established player. And given the amount of turnover teams face now across the league, sentiment around picking the best player available tends to trump picking for need. Then again, for the Lakers, who are on an accelerated timeline thanks to the arc's of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they need a guy who can fit in with that core, and ideally could do it quickly. So are there any players who could step into a rotation next season that will be waiting at the back end of the draft?What exactly goes into that type of selection? What skills translate quickly to fill a niche at the NBA level, when a player isn't going to step into a starring or big scoring role?We ask those questions and more to NBA Draft expert Mike Garcia (@canyondriver) who specializes in the Lakers on his Substack.Who does Mike like at #17? Could Jett Howard be a good choice? What about Trayce Jackson-Davis? Why is he so high on Sidy Cissoko? Who does he want in the second round?We discuss why the Lakers tend to find good players later in the Draft, whether it makes more sense, given their timeline, to try and trade down, stay where they are or just trade the pick for a veteran altogether.He believes there will be plenty of talent available to the Lakers, with potential first round talent reaching well into the second.Get prepared for everything the Lakers might do!HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Draft is Thursday. What kind of depth does this group have? What's available at #17? Does need and fit right now trump the whole "best available" formula?SEGMENT 2: Who should the Lakers target if they keep the 17th pick? Who fits well with LeBron James and Anthony Davis?SEGMENT 3: Who could the Lakers target in the second round?

The Lakers are in a unique situation when it comes to Thursday's NBA Draft. First, they have a first round pick, and seem inclined to actually use it, rather than automatically defaulting to sending the selection away in favor of a more established player. And given the amount of turnover teams face now across the league, sentiment around picking the best player available tends to trump picking for need. Then again, for the Lakers, who are on an accelerated timeline thanks to the arc's of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they need a guy who can fit in with that core, and ideally could do it quickly. So are there any players who could step into a rotation next season that will be waiting at the back end of the draft? What exactly goes into that type of selection? What skills translate quickly to fill a niche at the NBA level, when a player isn't going to step into a starring or big scoring role? We ask those questions and more to NBA Draft expert Mike Garcia (@canyondriver) who specializes in the Lakers on his Substack. Who does Mike like at #17? Could Jett Howard be a good choice? What about Trayce Jackson-Davis? Why is he so high on Sidy Cissoko? Who does he want in the second round? We discuss why the Lakers tend to find good players later in the Draft, whether it makes more sense, given their timeline, to try and trade down, stay where they are or just trade the pick for a veteran altogether. He believes there will be plenty of talent available to the Lakers, with potential first round talent reaching well into the second. Get prepared for everything the Lakers might do! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Draft is Thursday. What kind of depth does this group have? What's available at #17? Does need and fit right now trump the whole "best available" formula? SEGMENT 2: Who should the Lakers target if they keep the 17th pick? Who fits well with LeBron James and Anthony Davis? SEGMENT 3: Who could the Lakers target in the second round? Why do they tend to do well there, when other teams struggle? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
