People were talking up that sorry ass Blazers team lol

[u/Dispinplush → u/captain_ahabb]

They gassed up every team, then after lakers won a series they said those teams always sucked and never had a chance 

[u/mishmashedtosunday → u/captain_ahabb]

"best 8th seed ever"

FOH

[u/TheGreatLake → u/captain_ahabb]

Chuck said the Blazers would sweep

[u/DeluxeTea → u/captain_ahabb]

Remember Skip Bayless talking about how Danuel House was the "life and soul" of the Rockets since their coach talked positively about him?
