Damian Lillard suggests that the NBA bubble was way easier
During an Instagram live on Tuesday, Portland Trail Blazers’ superstar Damian Lillard opined on his stay inside the bubble. He explained why playing there was much easier than the regular-season games. Lillard said:
Damian Lillard’s dream run in the NBA bubble
Although the Portland Trail Blazers were eventually ousted in the first round of the NBA Playoffs by the LA Lakers, Damian Lillard had an outstanding run in the bubble. He averaged 37.6 points and 9.6 assists during the eight seeding games which allowed the Blazers to go 6-2 and eventually claim the eighth spot in the West.
Putting aside what was a bad outcome for them overall, Damian Lillard and co. will be looking to finish higher on the table in the 2020-21 season. They’ve added significant pieces in free agency and the return of a few key role players from injury will boost their chances.
