It may have taken longer than anticipated or desired, but the Portland Trail Blazers are officially on the board in their Round 2 series with the San Antonio Spurs.
In this edition of the Blazer's Edge Videocast, Dave and Sam delve deeper into the reasons for the Blazers' success: better defensive game plan against the Spurs' pick and roll, keeping Robin Lopez near the hoop and an effective mixture of offensive styles. Of course, there's the customary shout out to the People's Champ, too.
We did have one minor technical glitch... Dave's video has a little problem from 1:15-2:00 in the video, but it sorts itself out, we promise! If we weren't both under the playoff time crunch, we'd just re-do it. Please bear with because the message is solid.
We'll be back later this week, so check back soon:
