Damian Lillard has a special feeling about the 2020-21 Portland Trail Blazers, a feeling he hasn’t had since he lined up alongside LaMarcus Aldridge, writes Jason Quick of The Athletic (subscription required).
The Blazers have delivered a 180-degree turnaround in recent weeks, leaving poor teams in their dust and taking it to some of the best squads in the league.
After Portland’s win over the Jazz on Wednesday, Lillard made comments about where he sees this current incarnation of the team, comparing it to the squad featuring Aldridge, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum and Robin Lopez between 2013 and 2015.
