The Trail Blazers, much like the Spurs, have had their fair share of troubles to start the season. After making it to the Western Conference Finals last season, they’re sitting at 4-8 on the season. While Damian Lillard has balled out so far (averaging a career-best 30.5 ppg, 48/38/91), Portland has struggled to find consistency among the rest of its roster. They rank just 15th in ORtg a year after finishing with the 3rd best in the entire league, while the defense has been just almost as poor as that of the Spurs.
