Now that CJ McCollum and the Portland Trail Blazers are in the Western Conference Finals, Jennifer Williams — the woman behind the ‘I'm trying Jennifer' trend — has reacted to the guard's latest milestone.
On her Twitter account, Williams sent out a series of tweets in response to her ‘rivalry' with McCollum. It wasn't simply because she was taunting the star guard, but fans were waiting to see her reaction in the event that McCollum and the Trail Blazers oust the Denver Nuggets.

When the Trail Blazers won, Williams knew that she was going to be trolled.
This is going to be fun 😅

However, she also fought back. She congratulated the Trail Blazers but hinted that she'll be siding with the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
Portland, its been nice but I’m taking my talents to the Bay! See you there 😎

For some context, below is the infamous exchange between Williams and McCollum. Back then, the Trail Blazers were picking up the pieces after two playoff campaigns ended in the first round.
Im trying Jennifer

McCollum, as one of the best players in the Blazers team, was subsequently criticized for his play. Now, Williams and the critics can hush up — even for a few days. For the first time in his career, McCollum is now in the Western Conference Finals. It will be a colossal task, but it can still be tagged as a great moment in his career.
