Whether they win or lose, the Portland Trail Blazers seem to always keep things close. Of the 18 games they have played, only two were decided by a margin of less than 15 minutes as most came right down to the wire. This means the duo of undrafted rookies Moses Brown and Jaylen Hoard have only seen the court for a collective 14 minutes.
This is also probably a big mistake.
Hassan Whiteside, Kent Bazemore, Mario Hezonja and Anthony Tolliver headlined Portland’s big summer acquisitions.
