Another Portland Trail Blazers’ Media Day is in the books. As I watched from afar, I had a few reactions to what I heard.
- There seems to be a lack of urgency.
Throughout Neil Olshey’s, Terry Stott’s, and Damian Lillard‘s press conferences, they all seemed fine with running the team back and trying to get back to the point they were last year – a team that (surprisingly) pushed its way into a third seed.
Perhaps the most emblematic of this sort of fine-ness was when Olshey was asked where he thought they fit into the Western Conference.
