The trade chatter from the summer said this team was years away, and the Bucks picks from the Lillard deal keep looking better every week. But seven-ish games is a tiny sample. Is this Blazers start actually real, or does the schedule get harder and the whole thing come back to earth by December?","community":"Sports","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":889,"name":"Seven games is nothing — wait for the road stretch","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-11T19:15:27.285Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/709","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":889,"name":"Seven games is nothing — wait for the road stretch","body":"The 25-point return game was real, and 7-3 is a great place to be in November. But seven games is a tiny sample — the test is whether the defense holds up over the next month of road games against winning teams. If Portland is still above .500 in mid-December, then it is real. Until then, enjoy it, do not bet on it.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"dandev","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-11T19:21:17.282Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
