The Portland Trail Blazers have fallen short of expectations, but Damian Lillard isn't interested in hearing anyone blame his head coach.

On Saturday, the Trail Blazers' Twitter account shared a screenshot of a recent Instagram comment by Lillard in which he defended Blazers coach Terry Stotts and put the blame on the players for their disappointing start.

Portland is 8-7 and in contention for a playoff berth, but many are expecting to see the young team go further.

Stotts is in his sixth season with the club and has taken the Blazers to four straight playoff appearances. However, Portland's win total has decreased in each of the last three years, which is likely contributing to some fans' frustrations.
