This year has been a tough one for the Trail Blazers team itself and for the fans. With the starting three, four and five injured for basically the whole season, Damian Lillard has put the team on his back again and willed them to 20 wins.
Though a 20 and 27 record isn’t anything to write home about, they are only two wins back from the surging eighth-seed Memphis Grizzlies. Lillard’s late January will forever be forgotten in the sadness of Kobe Bryant‘s tragic passing, but he has had an amazing season none-the-less.
