For this 9-3 start, the Portland Trail Blazers have their entire team to thank. Throughout this young season, the Blazers have been effective through their depth and cleverly constructed lineups to win at such a high clip.
Speaking to the Oregonian’s Sean Meagher after the Milwaukee Bucks victory, Damian Lillard said of the team’s hot start:
“We’ve had a pretty good balance. Even if I do have a big night or CJ has a big night, across the board you’re getting production from everybody in the scoring category. I think it’s been a huge part of why our team has been better.
