The Portland Trail Blazers’ season is just over a week old. Their record of 3-2 could easily be 4-1 or 2-3 if a few bounces (or overturned calls) had gone differently. Five games (four of which were on the road) is an extremely small sample size, but with that caveat it’s still worth taking a look at some positive and negative trends that are emerging thus far.
Positive: Damian Lillard scoring inside. This isn’t a huge surprise, but Damian Lillard is still really good.
