Colin Cowherd: “If I’m in the playoffs in the West I want no part of playing Portland. Damian Lillard is the best shooter, and on most nights the best player in the Bubble. They’ve got three seven-footers so they match up with teams like Milwaukee, Toronto, and the Lakers who have size. Gary Trent Jr., who was a nice player at Duke and always a good shooter – YIKES, now he looks like Steph Curry. Terry Stotts has been very good for years and very respected. Carmelo Anthony has added harmony and scoring from the wing. Portland is going to be the greatest eight seed in the history of the NBA. Their backcourt could be a nightmare for the Lakers. If Lillard went to Duke and played for the Knicks would we get how good he is??” (Full Segment Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks the Portland Trail Blazers could become the ‘greatest eight seed in NBA history’ if the red hot Blazers manage to qualify and win the 8 vs. 9 play-in series to play the one-seeded Lakers in the first round.
The Blazers currently sit in ninth place in the West with just 2 games to play on the season, as they remain a half game back of the eighth seeded Grizzlies, but also just a half game up on the Spurs and Suns who are tired for 10th place.
Check out the video above as Colin details how the Blazers would be a nightmare first round matchup for the freefalling Lakers.
