What a week.
Between postponements due to COVID-19, significant injuries that will keep starters out of the lineup for a considerable portion of the season and a defense that still ranks near the bottom of the NBA, it's hard to feel too certain about the quality of the current iteration of the Trail Blazers coming off a stretch of playing eight of their last 10 at home (not that playing at home provides the benefit that it used to). One one hand, they currently sit at fifth in the Western Conference standings with a 9-7 record, so it could certainly be a whole lot worse.
