We’re two games in to the 2018-19 season and the Portland Trail Blazers are 2-0 and NBA Finals-bound. Well, maybe that isn’t quite true, but the team has looked quite good, despite some lingering issues. Here are some things (good and bad) that have stood out to me thus-far.
Remember last fall? The Blazers opened up the season playing fairly stingy defense but the offense wasn’t super efficient, right? Actually, before the offensive stagnation set in, Portland opened the 2017-18 season with a pair of fairly easy, high-scoring wins; the 114-76 stomping of Phoenix, and a 114-96 win over the Pacers.
