I just want to state, for the record, that I’m not overly concerned with the current state of the Portland Trail Blazers. They sit above 500, battling through one of the hardest early schedules faced by any of the 30 teams, thus far.
But, I won’t lie, there are some areas of concern. Areas that were projected before the start of the season. The lack of big man depth, the streaky shooting and the health of Damian Lillard have all reared their ugly heads at one point or another in recent weeks. Not to mention the countless turnovers, which nobody could have predicted.
