The Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups attributes the Trail Blazers� sluggish starts to the absence of a dominant �alpha� player, as reported by Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian.
Portland has consistently struggled in the first quarters, exemplified by a recent game against Washington where poor three-point shooting and turnovers led to a significant early deficit.
Billups acknowledges the team�s talented players but emphasizes the current lack of a go-to player who can spark momentum in the opening minutes of the game.
