From the minute that PORTLAND beat DENVER every talk show on SPORTS RADIO and TELEVISION in the BAY AREA start talking about DAMIAN LILLARD. How he grow up in OAKLAND right next to the COLISEUM and how GREAT HE IS and now that he is coming BACK HOME how he will TERRORIZE the WARRIORS at ORACLE. Ah never hear ONE PLAYER get so much PRAISE IN MEH LIFE. And even after THIS TRAGIC ENDING to GAME ONE -- they still was telling me that now that he back home last night on his home court and his RABID CROWD ... how he was going to RISE UP and win TWO in PORTLAND and then come back to ORACLE and DEMONSTRATE HIS AMAZING SKILLS.
But the best part for me was in the POST-GAME interview where he admitted indirectly that when he looked up in the stands and saw all these people he knew from growing up -- he kinda CATCH COLD FEET. That is a good basketball PUN -- CATCHING COLD FEET (AND HANDS).
Well this MORNING they done start talking about GIANNIS and what HE WILL DO and WILL NOT DO.
Boy, ah does feel sorry for CURRY and DURANT and TRUMP and BEVERLEY -- somebody always criticizing them doh matter how much they ACCOMPLISH.
