Bulls vs. Blazers NBA Podcast: Joel Embiid Discovers Seamless
(Kyusung Gong/The Orange County Register via AP)
On our latest episode of the Bulls vs. Blazers NBA Podcast, we discuss Cleveland’s dominant performance in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers. We also discussed Kanye West’s now very public desire to re-design the Clippers new mascot, “Chuck The Condor.” Will there be Free Yeezy’s given out if this partnership does happen?
Also, we touched on the season the Chicago Bulls are having and get’s Sean’s perspective on how their season has played out since he’s been with them all season. And in one of the many intriguing cases of free-agency, where will Joakim Noah land now that it looks like his Chicago career has come to a close?
Sean has also been reading former Grantland feature writer and all-around NBA writing heavyweight Jonathan Abrams’ new book, which you should pre-order and comes out tomorrow called “Boys Among Men” about the NBA’s preps-to-pros generation in the late-90’s and early 2000’s. And in that book he stumbled up on a hilarious Joel Embiid anecdote about ordering online food which got us going into a long-awaited discussion about “Hoarders: Philadelphia.”
Towards the end of the podcast we touch on the latest drama on “Love & Hip-Hop: Sacramento” and I wonder whether “The Kavs” would be best served to try and get the disgruntled DeMarcus Cousins to come to The Land if things don’t work out with Kevin Love.

We also have a good chunk of discussion on the playoff races in both conferences, including where the Blazers stand and if they can hold off Dallas and Houston for the 6th seed.
