The Portland Trail Blazers started their season losing three straight games, looking like they might go 0-82 for the season. The Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and (ouch!) Orlando Magic disposed of them almost as afterthoughts. But a funny thing happened on the way to the bottom of the standings. Portland surprised the Toronto Raptors on the road, followed that up with another road victory against the Detroit Pistons, then vanquished the Memphis Grizzlies for their first home win of the season. The “can’t win” Blazers now sit at 3-3, in a four-way tie for the eighth position in the NBA’s Western Conference.
