The Portland Trailblazers lost a lot of firepower in the offseason when LaMarcus Aldridge signed with San Antonio, Wesley Matthews signed with Dallas, Robin Lopez and Arron Afflalo signed with New York, and Nicolas Batum was traded to Charlotte. However, they’ve overcome the odds and clinched a playoff spot for the third consecutive season with the win over OKC last night.

Thanks to the stellar play of Damian Lillard, Vegas odd-makers’ predictions of around 27 wins for Portland this season has been blown away, and the Blazers hold a 43-37 record with two more games to go.

Lillard remembers all of the haters and doubters at the start of the season, and posted a photo of a meme that mocked him being all alone after he started the season as the lone starter.

Everyone who counted the Blazers out is seeing how wrong they were count them out, and led by the backcourt duo of Lillard and C.J. McCollum, the Blazers are looking to make some noise in the postseason as either the fifth or sixth seed in the West.
