The Portland Trail Blazers crossed the halfway point in the season after last night’s win over the Utah Jazz. We’re back with another episode of the Blazer Banter podcast which tries to shed light on Blazers stories in audio form. Last weekend we were fortunate to get some semi-exclusive time with Damian Lillard and get his take on the Blazers at midseason. His comments were also in Wednesday’s report on the Blazers at the preseason.

The other topics covered in the podcast includes Portland’s poor defense and the things that they have to do better on that end. I also briefly touched on the line-up debacle last week involving CJ McCollum resulting in his surprise inactive against the Los Angeles Clippers.
