Damian Lillard and Ja Morant can’t win playing together

Did you watch the playoffs?

We just saw a masterclass in the NBA’s new defensive intensity. Amazingly, almost every rotation player from the Thunder, Spurs, and Knicks is either an excellent defender or Jalen Brunson (who’s at the very least a feisty one).

There doesn’t seem to be a way to contend with two poor defenders on the floor at the same time.

Which is why it’s almost impossible to imagine the Blazers will be any good with Damian Lillard and Ja Morant sharing the court.
