Over the last 11 games, the Portland Trail Blazers are 4-7 – this is the ninth worst record in the league during that span. The Washington Wizards are the only other playoff-bound team winning so few over the last 11.
The defense has certainly had its struggles in the losses. But that blame can easily be directed towards the injuries of Maurice Harkless and Ed Davis.
Portland’s offense similarly struggles, not because of Harkless and Davis sitting out, though. In the last 11 games, the Blazers rank dead last in three-point percentage at 29%.
