The Portland Trail Blazers’ already-sketchy season hit a new low tonight as they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-104. Even playing without starting center Hassan Whiteside, the Blazers were hoping to pick up a win against one of the NBA’s worst teams to buoy their flagging record. Instead they might have hearkened to the old maxim from Rounders: If you can’t spot the sucker at the table by the second quarter, then you are the sucker at the table. Cleveland looked quicker, more coherent, and more aggressive all night long, sending Portland to an wholly-unexpected 5-12 start to the year.
