Losing to Kings raises red flags for the Portland Trail Blazers

When Damian Lillard carries the entire weight of the team on his shoulders, they lose. When he defers to his teammates to allow them to prove their merit, they lose. Such has been the story of the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2019-20 season.

Now, it’s still early in the season. But standing at 4-7 — suffering bad losses to the Warriors and Kings along the way — Portland needs to start finding a solution for their afflictions before it’s too late. A team with this much talent should not enter overtime against the Hawks.
