The rise of social media has allowed players to interact with fans and allowed them to showcase their personalities more outside of the sport they play.
It's also allowed professional sports teams to have a personality off the court, too, and that's something all sports fans enjoy.
Monday night, the Portland Trail Blazers fell to the Golden State Warriors in Game 4, and it wasn't close from the start as the Dubs put up 45 points in the first quarter.
Although the Blazers lost, the team's Twitter account salvaged a win on social media by hilariously live-tweeting the blowout that got them eliminated from the playoffs.
The first quarter was a rough one indeed, but the Blazers managed to find some positives:
The quarter update once it was done was interesting, too:
The second quarter was more of the same, with the only highlights being these two tweets:
The Blazers pleaded the Warriors to stop scoring after the third:
And finally, when it was all said and done, they had some kind words for Chance The Rapper, who doesn't have to cancel his show in the Bay because the series only went four games:
The Blazers have a bright future on the court, and off the court they're already winning.
We hope they take a page out of the Golden Knights' book and continue to be active on social media even though they're out.
