Trail Blazers fall in Charlotte: 2nd half sloppiness, Dame approaching a career-worst shooting stretch

Damian Lillard leaves with calf injury, Portland Trail Blazers lose 1st game of season to Miami Heat: The Portland Trail Blazers undefeated start to the season ended with a 119-98 loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. But the headline was that Damian Lillard left the game with a calf injury midway through the third quarter. In the locker room after the game, Lillard sounded confident who wouldn't miss too much time beyond Friday's game against the Houston Rockets in Portland. And he also offered important perspective on what his injury can help the Blazers learn about themselves. We close the show looking ahead as the Blazers early season issues with rebounding and turnovers showed up in a major way against Miami. Extra possessions have been a problem for Portland all year.

Portland Trail Blazers split 2 games in Phoenix: Jerami Grant's game winner + Young depth on display: The Portland Trail Blazers split two road games against the Phoenix Suns on Friday and Saturday night. The victory came on a game-winner from Jerami Grant and the loss was a lopsided beatdown. Both those games came without Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons in the lineup, and Friday's win was the platonic ideal of Blazers basketball. Shorthanded and on the road against one of the top teams in the west, the Blazers played smart, hard and free and earned their most impressive and entertaining win of the year. This weekend also showcase the Blazers young depth pieces. Portland has some useful parts at the end of the bench that offer reasons to be excited about the present and the future.

Portland Trail Blazers Issues on Full Display in Preseason Loss to Sacramento Kings: The Portland Trail Blazers have not looked good in preseason. On Sunday night that trend continued with a disheartening loss to the Sacramento Kings in which both teams treated the game like a regular season dress rehearsal. So where do the Blazers go from here? How meaningful are three preseason games? There's more questions than answers. One answer at least is that Josh Hart is going to be the starting shooting guard on opening night and that has implications for the rest of the roster. We close the show talking two-way spots and why Olivier Sarr and Isaiah Miller appear to have the clear inside track at earning the two available spots at the end of Portland's roster.

Damian Lillard returns, Portland Trail Blazers cruise past Indiana Pacers: Ahem, we're baaaack. After a brief hiatus Damian Lillard and Locked On Blazers have returned. In his return after a seven game absence due to a calf strain, Lillard helped propel the Portland Trail Blazers to a 116-100 win over the Indiana Pacers. In the second segment we check in the Blazers who are 3-7 in their last 10 games but are still in good shape after 24 games, or 30% of the season is complete. Plus there's reason to believe Lillard's absence from the lineup had some silver linings amidst the losses. Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant are wonderful offensive players. With Dame back, that trio can be really special. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz. Find more of Drae's work here: https://ffm.bio/thedraeslapz Learn more about your ad choices.

Damian Lillard drops 41, Portland Trail Blazers Beat Lakers to Improve to 3-0. This Team is FUN!: Damian Lillard had 41 points in back to back games over the weekend and the Portland Trail Blazers improved to 3-0 with wins over the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings. Dame was sensational quieting any lingering concerns about what level of player he would be this season. Both games came down to the wire and ended with game winning buckets by players that weren't Damian Lillard. Anfernee Simons downed the Suns with a righty runner and Jerami Grant sunk the Lakers with a driving finish in traffic. It's an important element to the beginning of the season as the team builds trust for everyone, not just Lillard, to have big moments in crunch time. The third segment looks at what we've learned from the first three games. The defense looks much improved and passes the early eye test and the offense is a work in progress but the ideas behind what they're trying to do on that end make sense.

Portland Trail Blazers Take Down San Antonio Spurs for 3rd Straight Win: The Portland Trail Blazers beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night 128-112 for their third straight win and fourth victory in five games. The victory kicked off six game road trip with a mostly comfortable win thanks to 37 points from Damian Lillard. Mostly comfortable because the Blazers saw their 19-point third quarter lead dwindle down to four late in the third before Lillard righted the ship and helped the Blazers hold off the Spurs for the double-digit victory. Lillard is good and he is on pace to become the Blazers all-time leading scorer perhaps over the weekend. How about some meaningless stats: The Blazers are 7-3 when Josh Hart attempts three 3-pointers and Portland is 8-4 when Shaedon Sharpe scores in double figures. Those are true, but maybe not exactly meaningful. But they're useful ways to consider some key parts of two crucial role players. Learn more about your ad choices.
