The Portland Trail Blazers have been one of the surprise teams of the season, with Damian Lillard completely blacking out on the court since the All-Star break.
With the team turning heads in the Western Conference (they’re currently sitting at the No. 3 seed), Lillard and C.J. McCollum sat down with ESPN’s Chris Haynes to talk about their expectations for the season, proving everyone wrong and improving on a yearly basis. McCollum was talking his shit when he said he’s been in the league for five years and the Blazers have gone to the playoffs five years in a row. Dame Dolla also said that the doubters don’t really motivate him, they just do what they do and let the work speak for itself.
Peep this new interview with one of the best backcourts in the NBA up top.
