Damian Lillard Hits 11 Threes As Portland Trail Blazers Blow Out Minnesota Timberwolves

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.

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.

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.

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.

Damian Lillard's present and future with the Trail Blazers: It's the Damian Lillard episode. The Damesode? Probably not. It's time to talk about the Trail Blazers' star point guard and his present and future in Portland. It's starts with the basics. Contract status, likelihood of a max extension this summer and his role as a voice and decision maker in the franchise. Then the time has come to address the elephant in the room. That elephant is just not competing on defense at a level that will allow his fellow elephants to ... okay this metaphor got away from me. But Dame has been bad on defense. He has to be better. Period. On top of that it would help if Lillard played with slightly more pace on offense. He's an elite playmaker and a force in the halfcourt but the Blazers have looked to be at their best when they play with more tempo and there is not a lot of evidence that Lillard is comfortable in a sped up offense. If he can buy into more of that style, he'll address one of his clea by Locked On Blazers – Daily Podcast On The Portland Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard scores 40 but the Trail Blazers lose late to Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets: Vintage Dame Time Spoiled. Damian Lillard scored 40 points and dished out 12 assists in a classically spectacular performance but the Trail Blazers still lost 121-120 to the Denver Nuggets when Jamal Murray hit a three-pointer with 0.9 seconds left. It was a brutal final 10 seconds, but this loss came in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter when the Blazers gave away a double-digit lead. Chauncey Billups was as mad as he has been all year after this loss. It was a telling moment from a coach and probably a good sign that this loss in December stung as much as it did.
