The only person with a chip on his shoulder that is nearly as large as Portland Trail Blazers’ point guard Damian Lillard is Paul George of the Los Angeles Clippers. The chip, a result of Lillard’s infamous “bad shot,” has shown up when the two have faced off in recent matchups, and to Michael C. Wright of NBA.com, it is an excellent reason as to why a Blazers-Clippers matchup in the first round of the NBA playoffs could be eminently watchable.
LA Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers: The Clippers possess all the firepower with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but you just can’t count out Damian Lillard in a playoff situation.
