The Warriors finished off the Trail Blazers in Game 4 to complete the sweep. And Twitter was not about to let Damian Lillard forget about his prediction.

Was there ever any doubt? The Warriors dominated the Blazers on both ends in this series. At times, the games looked like scrimmages between junior varsity and varsity teams. Golden State was without Kevin Durant for two games in this series and it didn’t matter. The Warriors won by an average margin of 18 points per game.

Blazers’ superstar point guard played well, but was not rewarded for his confidence. Damian Lillard averaged 27.8 points per game during this series, but the Blazers were two MVP’s and a couple of All-Stars short. Many fans mocked Lillard’s prediction before the series, so you know they were here for all the jokes tonight.
