Stotts notched his 100th win as the head coach of the Trail Blazers on Nov. 30, 2014 against Minnesota, making him the eighth coach in franchise history to lead Portland to at least 100 wins. He was named the Western Conference Coach of the Month in December after guiding Portland to a 13-3 record. Stotts led the Trail Blazers to a 54-win season in 2013-14, marking the largest improvement in franchise history and the sixth-best record all-time. Portland won its first playoff series in 14 seasons that year, defeating the Houston Rockets in six games and setting up a Western Conference Semifinal matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The postseason berth was the team’s first since 2010-11. Stotts, 57, has molded Portland into one of the top offensive teams in the NBA, ranking among league leaders in scoring (ninth), free throw pct. (first), 3-point pct. (eighth), rebounds (second), assists (12th) and turnovers (ninth) for 2014-15.

RIP CITY REBOUNDS: Portland outrebounded Memphis by 11 on Nov. 5, and has now finished with more rebounds than its opponent in three consecutive games (all wins). Portland is 4-0 when outrebounding its opponent, and 0-2 when being outrebounded. SECOND QUARTER SURGE: The Trail Blazers outscored Memphis by nine points in the second quarter on Nov. 5, and have now outscored their opponent by 29 points in the second quarter of the past three games (all wins).

THREE-JAY: CJ McCollum scored 37 points on 14-of-22 shooting (6-9 3-PT) against the Pelicans on Oct. 28, representing his highest scoring total in any NBA game (includes postseason). McCollum made all five of his three-point attempts in the first quarter, and surpassed his previous regular season career-high in scoring with 28 points at halftime (previous career-high: 27 pts, 4/13/15 at LAL).
MAGNIFICENT MCCOLLUM: With 20 points against Memphis on Nov. 5, CJ McCollum notched his third game of 20 or more points in six games this season (matches career total entering this year). McCollum has also scored at least 15 points in all six games this season (nine straight including playoffs) after having previously posted 15-plus points in no more than two consecutive contests.
DAME FROM DEEP: Damian Lillard’s lone three-pointer against New Orleans on Oct. 28 (2nd Q, 1:38) was the 600th of his career. Playing in his 247th career NBA game, Lillard is now the fastest player in NBA history to reach 600 three-pointers (Klay Thompson, 248 games).

DAME FROM DEEP Year-to-Year Three-Point Progression
DAVIS DOING IT ALL: Ed Davis finished with 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting and 11 rebounds against New Orleans on Oct. 28. Davis became the first Trail Blazer reserve to record a double-double in the season-opener since Kenny Carr did so on Oct. 25, 1985. FIRST ROUND TALENT: 10 players on Portland’s current 15-man roster were selected somewhere in the first round of the NBA Draft. Damian Lillard and Chris Kaman are the two highest players chosen on the roster (sixth overall), while Al-Farouq Aminu (eighth), Noah Vonleh (ninth) and CJ McCollum round out the Trail Blazers drafted in the top-10. Meyers Leonard (11), Gerald Henderson (12), Ed Davis (13), Maurice Harkless (15) and Mason Plumlee (22) were the remaining Trail Blazers drafted in the first round. THE YOUNG AND THE RESTED: The Trail Blazers enter the season with an average team age of 25.3 years old, the third youngest mark in the league. Chris Kaman (12) and Gerald Henderson (six) are the only two players with more than five years of NBA experience, while eight Trail Blazers on the current roster have 0-to-2 years of experience at this level. Portland’s average age in 2014-15 was 27.1 years (13th oldest in NBA). KINGS OF THE NORTHWEST: The Trail Blazers were the champions of the Northwest Division in 2014-15, marking their first division title since the 2008-09 season and their sixth in franchise history. The past four times in which Portland has won a division title, the team has recorded at least 50 wins in the following season. FIFTY/FIFTY: The Trail Blazers finished with 51 wins in 2014-15, marking their 13th 50+ win season in franchise history. Last year was also the first time Portland has had back-to-back seasons of at least 50 wins since 2008-09 and 2009-10 (54 wins in 2013-14). NEW LOOK LINEUP: Out of the 15 players listed on Portland’s roster, just six of them played at least one game for the Trail Blazers in 2014-15 (Crabbe, Frazier, Kaman, Leonard, Lillard, McCollum). That ties Portland’s mark for the fewest returning players since Paul Allen became the owner in 1988 (2012, 2006, 1989). RIP CITY’S ALL-STAR: Damian Lillard was named a Western Conference All-Star for the second consecutive season in 2014-15, making him the fourth Trail Blazer to ever be named an All-Star twice in his first three NBA seasons (Lucas, 3; Wicks, 3; Roy, 2). LILLARD’S LONGEVITY: Damian Lillard started all 82 regular season games for Portland last season, and has now started in every game for Portland over his first three NBA seasons. Lillard became the first player to start all 82 games with the same team in each of his first three NBA seasons since David Greenwood did so with Chicago from 1979-80 to 1981-82.

PLAYOFF RETURN: Portland returned to the playoffs in 2014-15 for the second consecutive season, marking the 31st playoff appearance in franchise history. That is tied for the fourth most by any team since the Trail Blazers joined the NBA in 1970. The last time Portland made three straight playoff appearances was from 2009-to-2011. A TOUCH OF MEYERS: In 2014-15, Meyers Leonard (51.0% FG, 42.0% 3-PT, 93.8% FT) became the first NBA player to post shooting percentages of at least 50.0% FG, 40.0% 3-PT and 90% FT in a season since Kevin Durant did so in 2012. MCCOLLUM ENDING STRONG: CJ McCollum surpassed the 20-point mark three times last year, all of which came in the final 13 games of the regular season. McCollum scored in double figures seven consecutive times from April 1 to April 11, the longest such streak of his career (seven total in 2013-14). He averaged 13.5 points on 51.0% shooting (40.8% 3-PT) in his final 15 games of 2014-15.

STRONG START: Portland won 10 of its first 13 games in 2014-15, representing the third time in franchise history that Portland won 10 of its first 13 games in back-to-back seasons (1989-90/199091 and 1998-99/1999-00). The Trail Blazers owned a 19-6 record after 25 games, marking their fifth-best start through 25 games in franchise history.
