Can Portland shock the world?
Can the Portland Trail Blazers shock the world and win the newly rebranded Emirates NBA Cup this year?
The Trail Blazers are currently in a fairly open NBA Cup group, West A. Aside from the mighty 6-4 Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland's other competition comprises several play-in caliber pieces or worse, in the 6-5 Los Angeles Clippers, 6-5 Sacramento Kings, and the surprisingly robust 7-4 Houston Rockets.
It sure seems like the Trail Blazers are headed for their fourth straight season of lottery-bound misery under head coach Chauncey Billups, a Hall of Famer as a player who has yet to prove himself as a Hall of Fame coach. The club is ranked 29th in offensive rating and 21st in defensive rating .
