The Portland Trail Blazers will face the Golden State Warriors tonight in their final preseason game of the 2022-23 season, Despite a revamped lineup and high expectations, the Blazers are 1-3 in exhibition play so far. Their lone win came against Maccabi Ra’anana, a team that doesn’t play at the NBA level. The Blazers fell to the Los Angeles Clippers by 5 in their preseason opener, but didn’t come close against the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings.
Wins and losses don’t mean much in exhibition play, but the team has shown other cause for concern, at least in the eyes of some analysts.
