Carpet diem. The Portland Trail Blazers will again be sporting the PDX carpet jerseys as they welcome the Brooklyn Nets. In those same jerseys on Tuesday, the Blazers couldn’t find a way to put the San Antonio Spurs in the rear view mirror until late, but at the end of the day that’s what counts. The 117-110 score line probably flatters the Blazers a bit, but you take what you can get in the NBA.
The Brooklyn Nets have more negative storylines going simultaneously than most teams will have over an entire season. Is Kevin Durant happy?
