The third seed Portland Trail Blazers were just swept out of the 2018 playoffs by the New Orleans Pelicans and Neil Olshey is preaching patience with his roster.
The Blazers just got their hats handed to them in the playoffs once again. If you’re counting, Portland has now lost 10 playoff games in a row. You might be thinking, “But wait, you can’t blame them for getting swept by the Warriors last year.” Well, not in a vacuum, no. But I can blame them for the brutally slow start that forced them to claw their way up to the eighth seed that year.
