The Portland Trail Blazers bench has gotten plenty of attention during their hot start, and deservedly so. Second-unit efficiency is the most obvious change between last season and this for the Blazers. Is the upward trend enough to take focus off of Portland’s starters, and superstar Damian Lillard in particular? That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Hey Dave,
I’m really excited about our team this year, especially the improvement of the bench. There have been two games so far where Dame has played less than 30 minutes due to the bench’s ability to build and/or maintain a solid lead.
