Do the Blazers Need a Superstar?

There is a school of thought that suggests the Portland Trail Blazers will forever be consigned to mediocrity in the NBA until they have the star power required to match the high-level talent possessed by their more fortunate opponents.

Recent losses highlight new challenges for the Spurs

The narrative that the Spurs can “only beat the Thunder” doesn’t survive even a small glance at the Western Conference standings.

This is an organization that has made only one playoff appearance since 2017 and still lives off the echoes of the ’90s dynasty teams (read: Michael Jordan). Every time it looks like things might finally be turning around, they don’t. No, this isn’t going to be a rant about the current state of the Bulls.
