Damian Lillard shared his thoughts on why there have been several blowouts in the first games of the season.

Lillard said the fact that there are no fans in the arenas is part of the problem, as players need to create their own energy.

Lillard and the Blazers suffered a blowout loss to the Utah Jazz in the season opener (120-100).

The Clippers (124-73 to the Mavericks) and the Warriors (99-125 to the Nets and 99-138 to the Bucks) are another two teams that have suffered similar blowout defeats.
