Damian Lillard believes Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers ‘would be the matchup people want to see’ in the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs now.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Lillard credited the up-and-coming Grizzlies but feels his veteran Blazers would provide a challenge to the Lakers.
“I just feel like that would be the matchup people want to see. And not to say nobody wants to see Memphis, because they’re in the eighth and they’ve been in the eighth spot for a while. They’ve earned that. You can’t take anything away from Memphis.
