Portland Trail Blazers
Biggest Disappointment: Slow start
While the Blazers have strung together five wins out of their last six outings, they still haven’t taken full advantage of the Thunder’s early season troubles.
Portland is only three games ahead of the Thunder. At, 6-3, that margin could be a lot bigger. The Blazers started the season 1-2, losing to Kings, Warriors and Clippers.
While those aren’t “bad” losses, they still could have built a bigger cushion by now. That’s something they might look back at and regret later.
