Scoot Henderson only played 30 regular season games. Portland played most of the regular season without it's projected starting point guard and his improvement and development was hindered because of injury.

Damian Lillard will be back next season after being injured. For a team that lacked 3 point shooting for chunks of the season and this series, it was shown that Lillard can still shoot it. Off-season moves to get more shooters will be important .

Portland is the only team that had to regroup after game one. Having your head coach arrested by the FBI doesnt help with team growth. Having a full off-season with a staff and system in place can only improve team coordination and chemistry.

Portland just got a new owner and a lot of the guys in management and coaching will finally know if they're here to stay or if they're going.
