The Portland Trail Blazers have won just over 40% of their games this season. How good that is depends on who you ask. Compared to preseason expectations, it’s a decent rate of victory. Compared to real NBA teams it’s not so good.
Portland had a brief dalliance with glory, winning 11 of 12 games in late January and early February. When the quality of opponent rose, though, they started looking humble again.
The murky middle ground in which the Blazers find themselves is causing varied reactions among Portland fans, including this submission to the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
