The Chase Thomas Podcast

Chase Thomas is joined by Bleacher Report's Sean Highkin to talk about the Dame Lillard's big shot against OKC in Game 5, what this means for the Blazers going forward, the change in Lillard over the years, what's different about this Portland team, how the Thunder moves forward with Westbrook, Nuggets vs. Spurs weirdness, why Toronto winning four-straight playoff games matters, and if the Rockets can beat the Warriors in Round 2.

Then, The Athletic's James Edwards III comes on the pod to talk about Blake Griffin's big year in Detroit, his knee surgery woes, Blake's maturation in Detroit, differences between Casey and SVG, the weird front office structure, what to do with Reggie Jackson, if Mike Conley or Kemba Walker could be in the cards this summer, Luke Kennard's up-and-down season, the future of Blake and Andre Drummond inside.

You can follow Chase on Twitter, like him on Facebook, read him on his website, and even email him at [e-mail] if that is something you would like to do, too.
