In his first season with the team, they reached the Western Conference Semifinals. Next year the Timbers missed the playoffs by 1 point. In 2015, Portland brought the MLS Cup back to the Pacific Northwest and coated it with a thick layer of green. 2016 started just as every other season seems to do for the boys in green, slow.
In their first five matches, the Timbers had collected 5 points out of possible 15. I guess history really does repeat itself as in the first five of 2013, 2014, and 2015, Porter collected 6, 3, and 6, points respectively.
