I love the Portland Trail Blazers. I love what they’ve done this season, building off the momentum that they built last season. However, there’s one big problem with this team. They don’t have enough “other guys” in order to be taken seriously as a contender in the Western Conference. Unfortunately.

Listen, go watch the Blazers on NBA League Pass. They’re fun as hell. You’re going to have a great time watching them. Just don’t get invested in this team. Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum may be fun to watch, but they’re not much more. Not yet, at least.

The Blazers need one more piece. I’m not sure if he’s on the roster, though.
