‘Dame, you got an extra villa in Cabo?’: CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard mock Paul George and Clippers post playoff exit
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:
Sheesh . Twitter gonna explode after this game 🤣🤣🤣

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.
Yoooo @Dame_Lillard 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you got an extra villa available in Cabo ?
— CJ McCollum (@CJMcCollum) September 16, 2020
McCollum didn’t let up for the rest of the 4th quarter.
I wonder if they packed before the game

If they fly private they can get into Mexico for sure. Should probably get the big jet.

In fairness, he did display some astonishment to the Clippers folding up in such abject fashion.
I am shocked . I thought there was no way they would lose this series. I honestly can’t believe it. I thought they would win before it. Then they got up 3-1 and I thought it was over

I’m not enjoying this. I had the clippers in the finals after we lost. Now I look crazy.

My last tweet before I finish this glass. They did vote they ain’t wanna play no more. . . But I didn’t think they was gonna go out like that 😂
— CJ McCollum (@CJMcCollum) September 16, 2020
Lillard even replied to the Cabo tweet after the game ended.
@patbev21 I guess I should extend this Cancun invite since I haven’t made my arrangements yet 😂😂😂
— Damian Lillard (@Dame_Lillard) September 16, 2020
McCollum went a bit light on Beverley though.
It ain’t Pat Bev fault though he got above his average and did his job …

He still seems beside himself with glee. As does most of Lakers nation and the NBA fandom.
This one of them days where you don’t read your mentions. Gotta log out and give someone else the password 😂
