Portland Trail Blazers Front Office
Lillard and C.J. McCollum combined for less free throws than Paul George in their game 3 loss.
Andre Drummond led the Pistons to a 2-1 week by averaging 17.7 points, 18.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.7 blocks and 2.3 steals per game.
The Blazers are likely to offer Damian Lillard the supermax extension this offseason.
Jusuf Nurkic suffered season-ending compound fractures to his left tibia and fibula.
McCollum will be re-evaluated later this week.
C.J. McCollum was helped off the floor after landing hard on his left leg during the Blazers loss to the Spurs.
Lillard added that he worked on playing faster out of traps.
Trail Blazers Analysis
Jusuf Nurkić isn't Portland's best player, but he was perhaps the fullest embodiment of the Blazers' ideal: a solid professional performing a fair bit better than that descriptor suggests, a truly exciting if slightly inconsistent and limited talent.
Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are very good, very entertaining and win a lot of games. But in 2018, the gut reaction is to view them through particular lenses: That they aren't good enough.
