A solid start to the season for the Portland Trail Blazers pulled wool over our eyes. Two impressive wins to open the year along with a 4-1 road trip excited fans.
Then, they dropped the second matchup versus Milwaukee, finished the home stretch 0-4, and lost to the defending champs. Once 13-8 and top-four in the West, Portland is now seventh with a record of 13-13.
When will this losing streak end?
While the second quarter of their schedule is certainly harder than the first, Portland faces three easier opponents on the current five-game road trip.
