It really was too bad for the Portland Trail Blazers, because they had a good regular season run. Too bad they didn’t show up for the playoffs, though. Their run could be like the Toronto Raptors’ though, if Dame and CJ decide to stick it out.
Back in 2015, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry had a statement season, and then got swept by a lesser team. The only difference is that the Pelicans can’t necessarily be considered a lesser team. A big comparison is that Wizards’ team had Paul Pierce.
Rajon Rondo, another member of that 2008 Celtics’ squad, was running the point for New Orleans. All he did was feed Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday, giving them wins over Dame and CJ’s Pelicans. After all the big talk from Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, about the Blazers, they got swept, and Twitter is loving it.
