After a disheartening 119-102 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, leaving them one loss away from being swept in their 2018 NBA Playoff series, the Portland Trail Blazers talked to the media in post-game interviews. First, Head Coach Terry Stotts sat down at the big podium to talk to the national media. The clearly-tired Stotts smiled, but had few answers to the sparse questions, leading to occasional awkward pauses.
Next up, a very quiet CJ McCollum talked to media gathered in the locker room. “They whooped our ass”, he plainly stated.
