CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard mock Paul George and Clippers

CJ McCollum did not miss his chance to troll Paul George and the Clippers after the LA team bowed out of the playoffs unceremoniously.

There was beef between Lillard and Paul George that made the news during the seeding games. George and Beverley apparently said ‘Cancun on 3’, implying that Lillard wouldn’t qualify for the playoffs and instead go on vacation early. Lillard responded by calling George the equivalent of a mercenary.

CJ McCollum sends out a series of tweets trolling the LA Clippers on their loss

Given the bad blood between the Blazers and the Clippers, McCollum’s reactions are totally warranted. The Blazers combo guard was drinking in celebration during the 4th quarter. At one point, when everybody realized that the Clippers were virtually out of the game, McCollum tweeted the following:

He followed that up with this one. It was a direct reference to the Cancun dig thrown at Lillard by Beverley. Former teammate Pat Connaughton replied to this tweet too.

McCollum didn’t let up for the rest of the 4th quarter.

In fairness, he did display some astonishment to the Clippers folding up in such abject fashion.

Lillard even replied to the Cabo tweet after the game ended.

McCollum went a bit light on Beverley though.

He still seems beside himself with glee. As does most of Lakers nation and the NBA fandom.
