The Blazers have been one of the best teams in the West over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, they can't seem to get the job done in the playoffs. Last season, they had two impressive victories against the San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets in the first two rounds of the playoffs, but they were swept by the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
Still, Lillard is confident that sooner or later, he will win a championship with the Blazers. Although there have been rumors about Portland potentially trading him, nothing has materialized as the franchise seems to have put their trust the All-Star guard.
The Blazers will look to continue where they left off next season, and even though the Warriors will seemingly take a back seat as a title contender in the near future, new powerhouse teams have been formed, particularly in the West. Portland will once again be tested, but Lillard will surely give the team and its fans everything that he's got on a nightly basis.
Once everything is said and done, Lillard wants to be recognized as the best player to ever suit up for the Blazers, and right now, it seems that he's a championship win away from accomplishing that goal.
