Damian Lillard Calls Warriors Upset
After playing an undewhelming regular season, the Portland Trailblazers have been able to survive and make the playoffs with a 41-41 record. In the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs, they’ll face the team with the best overall record im the league, the Golden State Warriors.
The Blazers should take the Warriors as a role model. Not this year’s, but the 2007 Warriors. In beating the #1 seed Dallas, the Dubs became the first #8 seeded team to win a best-of-7 series in the first round, and just the third overall in NBA history, to eliminate the #1 seed in the first round.
Blazers point guard Damian Lillard does not seem to care about odds and statistics anyways. In an interview with CSN Northwest, he predicts his team to beat the Warriors in 6 games.
