This whole thing is crazy, but it really isn’t too surprising. Every year, the West is always stacked, and there’s usually only a game or two, if that, separating the teams. But, late in this season, the Portland Trail Blazers were one of the hottest teams out.
Damian Lillard had the Blazers playing so well, at one point, it looked like they might threaten Golden State for the second seed. Definitely, going into the playoffs, the momentum was on their side. But, it’s never a good thing to sleep on New Orleans.
The Pelicans have gone into Portland and taken two straight games from them. Anthony Davis, Rajon Rondo, and Jrue Holiday are really giving it to the Blazers, even with DeMarcus Cousins out. After the loss, the press spoke with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum about the losses, and going into New Orleans for Games 3 and 4.
