To many, tonight was the proof that the Portland Trail Blazers are not a clutch team. Many still like to point out how last year’s team fell short of the goals Damian Lillard set. At the time, he said it was time for his team to win 50+ games and go to the Conference Finals.
The Warriors, meanwhile, never had such proclamations. Instead, the team consistently did better, making a surprising 2014 run, which was less surprising than their 2015 run. Now, they are the veterans, the dynasty, and the team to beat.
Throughout the season, it looked like the Denver Nuggets would be the team to challenge them. Instead, Portland managed to defeat OKC, in the first round, and looked like the real deal, when they beat Denver, on their court, in Game 7, after being down big. But, the Warriors have them down 3-0, without Kevin Durant.
A Warriors fan bragged about how they are getting it done, without KD, as Stephen Curry is back leading the team, with Klay Thompson as his right-hand man. Known for having a burner account, Kevin Durant messaged the fan back, cursing at him, calling his comments divisive. Just the tone of KD’s reply makes it somewhat obvious that he didn’t realize he was on his regular account.
