While the big story circling the Portland Trail Blazers at the moment is their recent signing of former superstar Carmelo Anthony, the team will have to tune all that for at least the next two games and get the job done on the road. The Blazers are expected to play the first pair of games of this six game road trip without Carmelo, until he joins the team in New Orleans on November 19.
Struggling to start their season off the way they wanted, Portland will have the opportunity to pick up a much-needed win against a San Antonio Spurs team that has dropped four consecutive contests.
