Meanwhile, further west, speaking of laughter, there were rumors in the last month that “the Blazers are shutting down Damian Lillard” and they never said anything. I think they shut down the entire starting lineup in reality. Maybe I wonder if Portland is remote enough that, as the Blazers quite effectively went into tank mode while being achingly silent about it, maybe the league didn’t bother announcing a fine they levied in response.
However, the aforementioned Lillard has finally issued a “make a big move or we’ll have a conversation“ edict.
