Basketball is back! More importantly, our Portland Trail Blazers are back! Following a trip to the Western Conference Finals in May, Damian Lillard and the Blazers return with new faces, new goals, and a season opener that will have them chomping at the bit.
After CJ McCollum sent them packing in Game 7 last May, Denver will still be licking their wounds, and looking for revenge on Wednesday evening. Opening with a game of this caliber provides a terrific opportunity to lay down an early statement victory, and get the attention of conference rivals right off the bat.
