EMERGENCY BLAZERS POD: Instant reactions to Damian Lillard's series-clinching three over Oklahoma City
In a quick emergency episode of Small Ball Market, we give our instant reactions to the Blazers advancing to the second round off of a CRAZY buzzer beater from Damian Lillard. We talk about where this moment and team stand in the history of the franchise, where Lillard's legacy stands within the franchise, and also where the Oklahoma City Thunder go from here after three straight first round exits. We're all running on adrenaline for this one, so you know it'll be fun.

Episode 12: Midseason Awards, All Star Voting, more
Small Ball Market is back and better than ever! This week, Zach, Wyatt and Cody give out their midseason awards to some of the most standout players in the NBA this season.
