The Portland Trail Blazers' Twitter account is becoming a bit obsessed with the Los Angeles Lakers, who defeated them in Monday night's Las Vegas Summer League final.

After teasing the LakersĀ throughout the matchup, the Blazers regrouped to take down a Twitter heckler claiming they will never rise to the same level as the Lakers, who have not reached the postseason since 2012-13.

Portland, meanwhile, has punched a playoff ticket in each of the four ensuing seasons.

The team's Twitter account responded by pointing out this discrepancy. Ā 

The Golden State Warriors have eliminated the Trail Blazers from each of the past two postseasons, sweeping them in 2017's opening round with an 18-point average margin of victory. Ā
