Damian Lillard is not intimidated by the matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round of the playoffs.
Lillard said he respects the Lakers, but believes the Blazers have a good a chance against the top-seeded team in the West.
“They’re the number one seed in the West for a reason. They have the best player in the world. We feel like we have a chance in a series against any team in this league. We feel like we have a chance in this series,” Lillard said, via the Washington Post’s Ben Golliver.
Lillard and the Blazers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (122-126) and advanced to the playoffs.
