After being one of the leagues feel good stories a season ago, the Portland Trail Blazers have tremendously regressed thus far. Currently, Portland holds the eighth seed with a dismal record of (13-16).
On Saturday, the Blazers were dismantled by Golden State to the tune of 135-90. Following the embarrassing defeat, Lillard didn’t bite his tongue.
“Man, it’s OK to turn the ball over, it’s OK to make mistakes, but we have to play with some damn heart and compete out there,” he said of his teammates.
Lillard wasn’t done.
“This isn’t about what the coaches are doing, this is on us,” Lillard said to ESPN in retelling what he stated to his teammates. “We have to take responsibility for what’s going on. This s— is ridiculous. We’ve got the talent; we’ve just got to put it together consistently.”
On the bright side, Portland’s next two contests are against the Kings and Mavericks.
