Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is having another career-defining season, averaging 27.5 points and 7.2 assists per game after returning from season-ending abdominal surgery last year. His team’s production is more muted. 18-16 falls below the aspirations of the star-led lineup.
As is usual, this is leading to the question of whether being star-led is as important as coming up with a new alternative to mediocrity. That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Hi Dave,
There’s a lot of emotion in conversations about which way the Blazers should go; let’s get rid of the love for Dame, history, loyalty, and even players names to look at the situation with cold, unfeeling statistics.
