Watch: Lillard sees 'Blazers in 6' rather than Blazers in 7 vs. Warriors

In fairness to Damian Lillard, if his Trail Blazers have any hope of eliminating the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, it would probably be with the Warriors facing elimination in Portland rather than Oracle Arena, and the only options he was given were Blazers in 6 or Blazers in 7.

On the other hand, that context won't help avoid the plethora of "Blazers in 6" headlines being cooked up as we speak.
