  • Bad

    She doesn’t follow any of her takes with stats just someone spewing off thoughts. It’s awful.

    I tried to listen again, the analogies don’t make sense, not funny doesn’t knack what she’s talking about.

  • My favorite sports podcast

    Love Trysta’s humor, always has me laughing and tuned in to the sometimes ridiculous drama of the NBA. The episode about Dame Lillard leaving the Blazers is what got me hooked, loved her ever since. Especially when she talks about my Blazers. Love hearing from a fellow female sports enthusiast!
