"We've tried to get this message through the last couple of days that that was fun, and probably necessary, but it's more fun to win. It's more fun to do the things that lead to success and hopefully we'll start creating more habits, that those processes lead to the kind of winning that I expect, and I think everybody expects."
"The Blazers sit at 39-38 in the Western Conference, a half-game back of the eighth-place LA Clippers. Having already clinched a play-in spot, if Portland can move into the eighth spot it is an easier one-game shot at advancing to the playoffs."
New owner Tom Dundon of the Portland Trail Blazers emphasizes a shift from developing young talent to a focus on winning. Dundon believes that while development was necessary, the ultimate goal is to create winning habits. The Blazers currently hold a 39-38 record and have clinched a play-in spot, with aspirations to secure a playoff position. The ownership group includes various investors, and the acquisition also encompasses the G League team and management of the Moda Center. Dundon has a history of ownership in sports, including the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes.
