Locked On Blazers
Hosted by Locked On Blazers
A daily, deep-dive analysis of the Portland Trail Blazers, blending insider reporting with strong opinions on team strategy and front-office moves.
A solo-hosted daily podcast offering in-the-weeds analysis of the Portland Trail Blazers. Host Mike Richman breaks down news, rumors, and team performance with a critical eye, often focusing on salary cap minutiae, coaching decisions, and front-office strategy. He is frequently critical of the team's ownership and management, such as his detailed breakdown of new coach Micah Nori's 'unprecedented' and 'stupid' 1+1+1 contract.
“Its daily cadence and the host's willingness to be sharply critical of the team's ownership and management set it apart from more conventional, team-friendly sports podcasts. Richman's background as a beat reporter informs his deep-dive, skeptical analysis.”
