The Portland Trail Blazers’ 2017-18 season provided Exhibit A to the assertion, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” The Blazers won 49 games and earned a 3rd seed in the NBA playoffs. They also struggled through much of the season and got swept out of that high seed by the New Orleans Pelicans, who didn’t make it past the second round themselves. Does that qualify as a good year or a bad one?
This issue lies at the heart of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag question. Take a look.
Dave,
I enjoy our team and I don’t understand why you and everybody else has to be so critical and pessimistic.
