Caraeff: Portland Trail Blazers Mid-Season Report

12
Ezra Caraeff of the Portland Mercury took a break from getting crushed by me in Words With Friends to compile a mid-season report for the Portland Trail Blazers. Caraeff writes that the Blazers are "without direction—but not without hope" and that the immediate future is unclear. -------------------- The middle mark of the season typically represents a clear path, a glimpse of where a team is headed down the homestretch and beyond. Yet for the Blazers it's an impasse with no clear answers. In the wake of the fall of Roy, this is a team that needs more time together, and they'll have just that in the second half. But it's likely that when the dust settles this season the Blazers will be left with more lingering questions than definitive answers. -------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
