If the Portland Trail Blazers are to make a final push into the playoff picture, some changes need to be made. Here are three things the Blazers must adjust to save their season.
Before setting out on their final stretch of the season on Friday night at home against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Portland Trail Blazers have some serious question marks that need resolving, and fast.
Possessing a record of 25-31, Portland will have to put their foot to the pedal to catch the owners of the eighth seed in Memphis. The Trail Blazers are currently four games back and will have to endure even more setbacks and overcome injuries once again to complete their mission.

However, don’t be mistaken, this isn’t just a two-horse race. The Spurs, Pelicans, Suns, and Kings all sit within three games behind Portland — ample striking distance if any manage to reel off a series of victories.
To best the competition, the Trail Blazers will have to make a few vital adjustments. While no one person can magically conjure up all the answers, I feel rather confident as to where they should start.
