Trail Blazers President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey made waves on Monday with a press conference that featured a plethora of finger pointing. Olshey, who assembled the players on Portland’s current roster, blamed former head coach Terry Stotts for the Blazers’ shortcomings.
Olshey’s sales pitch did not slip by The Athletic’s John Hollinger, though. On Tuesday, Hollinger pointed out the flaws in Olshey’s defense.
Don’t say that last part out loud, though. Surely, the Blazers aren’t. In a bit of performance art that one suspects is directly related to the concerns in the previous paragraph, Olshey used the postseason media meet to cast aspersions everywhere but on the talent around Lillard.
