Erik & Sean are talking Rip City
The Dynamic Duo of Sean Highkin and Erik Gundersen are back on “The Rose Garden Report.” The duo is on and talking about Blazers basketball. It has been rough for the Blazer fans as the Rip City has dropped 4 games in a row. The Morale isn’t high but they are not toast yet.. Erik and Sean go through the remainder of the schedule to see how the Blazers end up.
Now the Blazers are not playing the best right now. So Sean and Erik go into where the Blazers could fall in the draft. Plus how the next couple of games will affect that. Then the guys have a great question, besides Dame, what are you looking for in the Blazers in the next couple of games?
It’s been a month or so since the Blazers have gotten Cam Reddish and Matisse Thybulle. How have they gotten into the Trail Blazers? The guys go into their thoughts on how they have been playing. Have they done enough to resign?

Customer Reviews
Excellent, no surprise
Highkin delivers thoughtful and witty coverage of the Trail Blazers on his latest podcast. No surprise for a plugged-in local voice that offers a contemplative approach to his reporting. Great stuff.
Let your guests talk
Constantly interrupting the experts you have on your show is not ideal for your listeners.
Fantastic reporting and analysis
Sean is a brilliant journalist, and we are so lucky to have him on our beat. He often has great guests all bringing unique opinion to the discourse.
Sean does not run away from the grind! 😤😤😤
