The Portland Trail Blazers season has come in fits and starts so far. They’ve benefited from stellar play among their top stars, but overall output has been shaky as their record hovers near .500. In the midst of the ups and downs, one Blazer’s Edge Reader wonders whether a less-mentioned aspect of Damian Lillard’s play might be contributing to the struggles.
