Despite grabbing the most coveted free agent in recent history in Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors have had a long summer to think about the loss they suffered in the 2016 NBA Finals. Up three games to one with home court advantage, the Warriors couldn't stop LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and the Cleveland Cavaliers from winning three straight games and the NBA title.
Fans on social media have been making “3-1 jokes” since that seventh Finals game on June 19th. Although many argue that the jokes are no longer funny, that's not stopping Twitter from continuously pumping the jokes.
The most well-run official Twitter account for an NBA team belongs to the Portland Trail Blazers, and ahead of their preseason finale against the Warriors, the Blazers burned the Blazers with a 3-1 joke of their own.
We're playing that team with that new player tonight. We put the odds right around 3-1.

The Blazers and Warriors met in the second round of last year's postseason with Golden State winning in five games. However, the Blazers have come back with a revamped team and are looking to improve on their 44-38 record.
