Blazers look to enter the postseason with a fully healthy squad
The Portland Trailblazers have had a disappointing season so far. After reaching the Western Conference Finals last year, expectations were high from them. However, injuries to their center Jusuf Nurkic and a depleted bench put immense pressure on Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum to lead the team. These two stars put up excellent numbers and kept the team above water. However, the team's position in Western Conference Standings was much below the pre-season projections.
With Damian Lillard going down with a strained groin right before the All Star break, the Blazers chances of heading into the post season were bleak. The suspension of the league due to the coronavirus has been a blessing in disguise for them. Over the past few months, they have recuperated and are now back at full strength to make a push for the playoffs in the NBA Bubble.
While they are up against young teams like the Grizzlies and the Pelicans for the eighth seed in the Western Conference, the experience of veterans like Carmelo Anthony and Trevor Ariza could prove to be very valuable. The team as been looking in great shape in practice as seen on their Twitter handle
The Blazers start their regular season inside the NBA Bubble on July 31st against the Memphis Grizzlies.
