Former Blazer Terry Porter: on Curry and Warriors

Posted on February 20, 2016 by Steinmetz

Had a fun conversation with former Portland Trail Blazers point guard Terry Porter this week while co-hosting on the radio along with Chris Townsend. Porter was a terrific player in his day, tough at the defensive end and, well, tough at the offensive end, too.

Porter works in the Blazers’ front office, on the business side. This is one of Chris Townsend’s favorite interviews. With Steinmetz and Porter both coming from Division III colleges, it left Townsend as the only Division I guy in the group.

Here’s the link to the Terry Porter interview on 95.7-FM The Game.

When Warriors do lose, there’s lots to talk about

Boy, one loss can really change everything. Or so it seems.

The Blazers rout the Warriors 137-105, and all of a sudden there are a lot of talking points with Golden State, despite its 48-5 record. My co-host on the “NBA This Week” John Dickinson was in Portland for Friday night’s game, and he gives terrific perspective on a game that didn’t look much like the Warriors at all.

Here’s a link to today’s “NBA This Week” show which also includes an interview with Brad Turner, who covers the LA Clippers and Lakers for the Los Angeles Times.

Not coincidentally, the Warriors are play the Clippers on Saturday in LA – a game that suddenly is a lot more interesting. Here are some of the topics we discussed on the show:

–Are the Warriors vulnerable in the middle? With Andrew Bogut relatively ineffective and backup Festus Ezeli out, the Warriors didn’t do a lot of rim protecting against Portland. Mo Speights just isn’t that kind of interior defender. If you watched Friday’s game, you realize that maybe this team could use Anderson Varajao.

–Coach Steve Kerr said the team lost its poise in the third quarter of the game against Portland. The Warriors committed 13 turnovers in that period, and, of course, that was the time frame in which the Blazers turned it into a laugher. Draymond Green committed nine turnovers for the game and also picked up his 12th technical foul of the season, tied for the league lead with Dwight Howard.
