Now, the Trail Blazers will leave the NBA bubble, rest and recover and begin preparations for the 2020-2021 season– whenever that may be.
But Rip City (even the Lakers) was sure to send their love to the Blazers on social media as the clock struck midnight on their NBA championship hopes.
Look.
We spent the entire season broken and battered. We dressed 9 players in a playoff game. The 1st seed Lakers starters had to fight to beat our 8th seed bench. We fought like hell and never once gave up or took It easy.
