Portland Trail Blazers is on-fire on their last games to qualify for the playoffs.
But just come to think of it, they become on-fire because they are fighting for the playoffs spot where it's really close. They are heavily pressured because a single game loss will lead them into elimination. It's like they are fighting for their lives lol.
Now that it happened, no pressure now on Game 1 as even they will lose there's another game. I hope the same fire level will be shown on Game 1 even they aren't under pressure now. Lillard back then is confident they can beat the Warriors last playoffs meeting with this team and the same statement now again stated against the Lakers. And not that Lakers, he is confident they can beat any team. I like the level of confidence, they needed it, but hopefully, he won't be carried away.
I never fully understood all the Lakers hate,
It's because of LeBron that people mostly criticized.
Since he's on the Lakers, it's a domino effect.
