The Portland Trail Blazers stand in clearer relief right now than at any time since 2014. Their offense is powerful, their rebounding superb. Defense remains spotty, but their bench depth helps cover it. They can shoot the three even when they can’t defend it. None of this comes as a surprise to anyone who’s watched them over the past couple months. Is that a good thing or a bad thing, though? That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Dave,
I just wrote a deleted a very long email in which I explained all the ways that this team has broken my heart once I’ve opened up to the possibility that we might be good.
