The Clippers put a beating on the Trail Blazers in their first playoff game Sunday night, but Portland wasn’t about to roll over and let its opponent dominate on social media, too.
As L.A. was cruising to a 115-95 victory in Game 1, the person who runs the team’s Twitter account bragged about the “block party” that was going on.
Block party.

The Blazers got all salty about it:
@LAClippers pretty lame party tbh

Portland also took aim at the Clippers’ new mascot:
@LAClippers wait, that thing is a bird?

Those tweets would be a bit funnier if the Blazers weren’t getting dominated. Plenty of teams have exchanged Twitter barbs in the past, but we usually don’t see a team that is getting stomped on talk that much smack.
