So, it begins… LOL, really these people on Twitter are insane. It’s because they knew Portland wasn’t going to beat the Warriors. The only team capable of giving the Warriors an interesting series was the Rockets. Even then, they only managed a four seed. That left a major vacuum.
Damian Lillard, back in 2017, said his goal for the Blazers was to win over 50 games and go to the Conference Finals. The vacuum left by the early season struggles of the Rockets went to his Blazers and the surprise Denver Nuggets. Denver would take the two seed.
The Blazers had the experience, holding the three seed for the second straight year, and overcoming the stigma of last year’s sweep. In their way was the Thunder, whom they beat, and then they took out the inexperienced Nuggets to earn the right to get swept. Damian Lillard missing tonight’s game-winner has him the one being clowned on social media, with tweets and memes.
