PORTLAND, Ore. -- Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were enjoying bowls of clam chowder when things got intense. The topic had turned to how I didn't anticipate the Portland Trail Blazers being the third seed in the Western Conference this late in the season.
Upon hearing that, McCollum stopped mid-soup and said, "What did you anticipate? While we're at it."
"Now that's a good question," Lillard said.
I told them I saw them fighting for the eighth seed.
"Oh, so you anticipated nothing, man," McCollum said.
Yes, these two prideful individuals know how to attack on the court and at the dinner table.
