The Dontonio Wingcast Episode 012

Basketball Prospectus's Kevin Pelton and I are back with another episode of The Dontonio Wingcast, the first since of the 2009-2010 regular season.

On this full-length episode (53 minutes), Kevin and I go pretty much unscripted...

  • In Segment 1, we look at the Blazers season to date. Nice nights from Martell Webster and Steve Blake, Rudy's struggles, the late-game rotation questions, a look back at Sunday night's game and whispers about the Blazers from around the league.
  • In Segment 2, we look at the loss of Nic Batum, Brandon Roy's defense, Greg Oden's progress, and the Rajon Rondo signing (and its implications for the Aldridge signing), as well as some other league-wide observations.
  • In Segment 3, we give our early thoughts about Bill Simmons' The Book of Basketball.

Music selections:

Nas - New World
Nas - Rule

The intro

What is the intro song called?

"His head has a great shape"

Nice Ben, I’m sure Morey and Ainge have stats on that.

But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart

I was wondering about his trade

Is his starting lineup
Rondo
Bayless
Roy
Outlaw
Oden?

Africa, Everybody Wants to Rule the World.....

I’m waiting for someone to cover “Cause I’m A Blonde” in their next hit single to fully represent the quintessential music of the 80’s….

I’ve only skimmed Simmons’ book, so I can’t comment fully. I’ll say this, though – I don’t always agree with Simmons but his comparison of Kobe to Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf is spot on!

Ben – Rondo top 20 player? C’mon……

I enjoyed the podcast as always. Keep them coming!

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
