The guys bring you a truly bittersweet episode this week as Blake graciously steps aside from his co-hosting position to make way for Robbie Bettelon to take over the mantle and carry the baton. Blake has been with us all through 18 wins, terrible lottery luck, the incredible return to competitive Pistons basketball and every single step and misstep along the way. Wes and Blake open the show reminiscing about it all, and telling some of the behind-the-scenes that led to Blake joining The Pindown
and now Robbie taking over. Of course, this is not goodbye; you’ll hear Blake again.
But even so, if you have any happy memories of The Pindown so far through 134 joyous episodes together, please share with us in the comments. Let’s give Blake one heck of a fond farewell!
In Pistons news, we have three more games from Ebuka Okorie. And while those games may have been inefficient, the guys break down why it would be smart to pump the brakes on any new Okorie skepticism (though if you were skeptical before the draft, by all means, remain so). They also look at the strong performance from Chaz Lanier, what to make of Isaac Jones, and if any of the other summer leaguers could push for a two-way contract. The guys also take a look at the unfortunate tale of restricted free agency, address some of the ball-handling concerns, and wonder what it might take for Ausar Thompson to make an All-Star team.
We’ve got you covered for all this and more in this week’s episode!
