Trail Blazers' ‘accountability’ meeting rekindles competitive mindset

Portland’s struggles this season have been well-documented, but a recent team meeting appears to have helped turn things around.

The Blazers have won two of their last three games, including an impressive victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. After the win over the Lakers, Damian Lillard said that the team had a “good, honest conversation” about their struggles.

“We talked about what we needed to do to be better, and we held each other accountable,” Lillard said. “We came out with a lot of energy and focus tonight, and it showed.”

The Blazers have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season. After reaching the Western Conference Finals last season, they were expected to be a contender again this year. However, they have struggled to find consistency, and they currently sit at 10-14.

The team’s struggles have been due to a number of factors, including injuries, poor shooting, and a lack of defensive intensity. However, the recent team meeting appears to have helped address some of these issues.

In the two games since the meeting, the Blazers have played with more energy and focus. They have also been more consistent on the defensive end.

It is still too early to say whether the Blazers have turned a corner, but the recent team meeting appears to have had a positive impact. The Blazers will need to continue to play with the same energy and focus if they want to make a run at the playoffs.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the team meeting:

• The players held each other accountable for their performance.
• The players discussed what they needed to do to be better.
• The players came out with a lot of energy and focus in the next game.

The Blazers will need to continue to play with the same energy and focus if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
