After four months of waiting, three weeks of training camp and three scrimmages, the Portland Trail Blazers are ready to restart their season at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
“We’re ready to play,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. “We’ve had three good weeks of practices, I think there’s no question in my mind we’re ready to play on Friday. I don’t know if I’d call it excitement, but we’re ready. We feel good about where we are.”
And considering the situation they find themselves in eight games to play, it’s a good thing they’re entering their first game in Orlando with a wealth of confidence.
