The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the Portland Trail Blazers in what should be one of the more exciting first round series of the 2020 NBA Playoffs.

Damian Lillard has been a man on a mission since the bubble games began, and enters the postseason as the hottest scorer in the league. His scoring explosions the past couple of weeks have prompted some to believe Portland could potentially upset Los Angeles, but the star point guard is not listening to that talk.
