The Portland Trail Blazers are renowned for offense, courtesy of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and a strong team attack. Defense? Not so much. This is especially true in 2019-20, as the Blazers are giving out 30-point quarters like candy and boasting a 113.6 opponent scoring average, bottom-third in the league. Everybody wants to know why, other than obvious injury woes. That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Dave,
Another loss. Another bad defensive effort. What is going on? I think injuries is most of it but I’m also seeing things that just look like nobody cares.
