The Portland Trail Blazers started the season strong, but they are currently in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Is it time to make changes? Should we remain patient? What should the franchise’s direction be moving forward?

The Portland Trail Blazers started the season with a record of 12-5. However, they lost their last three games. Sure, they were playing the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Clippers, but those matchups were important tests for this Blazers team. The Blazers have not yet been able to compete for a championship in the Damian Lillard era.

Lillard has still been fantastic this year, while players like Zach Collins and Nik Stauskas have raised their level of play. Nevertheless, it is time to make some changes? Should we let the season play out? What has held us back? Who has shown promise? Our team of writers here at Rip City Project will dive deeper in these questions and more.
