Portland Trail Blazers: "This is Our Time, This is Our - Oh, Who Are We Kidding?"

Addressing declarations made earlier in the week that this time - alluding to this year's NBA playoff season - was their time, members of the Portland Trail Blazers have since backed off those statements.

"Yeah, honestly, who are we kidding?" Blazer guard Damian Lillard remarked. "We've got no chance."

Fellow Blazers guard CJ McCollum, who just Friday referred to this year's title run to be, "Our moment," and, "Our time to shine," echoed his 41-41 teammate's sentiments.

"Are you kidding me?" he scoffed. "We barely finished .500 and we're playing the f***ing (67-15) Warriors on the road."

Added McCollum: "Not to mention they just got KD (Kevin Durant) back. So he's fresh. It'll be a miracle if we win one game."

Meanwhile, Blazers forward Evan Turner says he's still looking forward to the start of the postseason.

"I just want to get it over with," he said. "The sooner we lose in four, the sooner I can start fishing."
