In this episode of Let’s Up the Score, we kick off the Change of Pace series with two teams heading into the 2025 NBA season from very different starting points.

Brooklyn Nets storyline is

• A young roster, limited star power, and an Eastern Conference that won’t cut them any slack. Can the Nets’ developing pieces surprise and climb above expectations, or is this truly a year zero rebuild?

Portland Trail Blazers storyline is

• The Blazers continue their post-Dame rebuild. With young talent, some veterans and a new system to lean on, how competitive can Portland be in a crowded Western Conference?

In Part 2, it’s all about the NFL. I reveal my divisional winners, playoff picks, and Super Bowl prediction — then finish it off with my take on opening night: Cowboys vs. Eagles. Who’s winning, and why? Tune in for my call and more. Football is back, and we’re rolling strong!

College football is here! In Part 1, I dive into Week 0 and Week 1, breaking down winners and losers, big performances, and my Top 20 Power Rankings. Plus, I highlight the must-watch games for Week 2. Football season has officially kicked off — let’s up the score!
