On Friday morning, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports published an article about Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, suggesting that Lillard did not have the pieces around him to contend for a championship, a situation that threatened to wear thin.
After Portland’s 128-109 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, Dwight Jaynes of NBCSports Northwest asked Lillard about the article in a post-game press conference. Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers recorded Lillard’s response and tweeted video of it.
Lillard’s quotes:
