Trail Blazers beat Rockets, lose to Bulls + Trendon Watford putting it all together

The Trail Blazers got in two games since we last chatted, a win Friday night in Houston followed by a Sunday evening loss in Chicago. Portland's bad habits showed up against the Rockets and then carried over in the loss to the Bulls. Let's unpack their issues as we look closer at a team that is once again really freaking good on offense and capable of being really freaking bad for long stretches on defense. Speaking of defense, the second segment is a deep dive into the Blazers zone. How they want to deploy it, why it occasionally works, what goes wrong when it doesn't and why Chauncey Billups has stuck with it after a brutal trial run early in the season. And finally, Watford Time has arrived. Tap your watch? Is that a thing Trendon Watford does, or is that someone else? In any case, the Blazers undrafted two-way rookie is starting to put together his positive flashes and on Sunday in Chicago he had one of his strongest games of the season.
