With theNBA All-Star Gamein the rearview mirror, the Church of Roy podcast returned this week to discuss the outlook for the Trail Blazers as the postseason approaches. Along with those predictions, hosts Brian Wilcox and Steve Dewald jumped right into the storylines that emerged from the past week.
The comments made by Blazers legend Clyde Drexler kicked off the discussion. Both Steve and Brian highlighted how Drexler’s experience with the Blazers likely influenced his thoughts on Damian Lillard’s standing following a trade that shipped CJ McCollum to the Pelicans.
