    GM Neil Olshey was defensive and a bully. I can't wait for him to provide a list of acceptable questions to media for the season opener.

    Maybe he's right. After the offseason he had, Olshey probably thinks he is God. :)

    I wonder why he wants a list of acceptable questions - so he can ask unacceptable ones?

    What a flake.

    It's funny because Canzano wrote a piece earlier talking about fresh starts and how he is hoping to get good answers to questions during media day . . . some bullshit article that I didn't even get half way through but clearly trying to make a big deal about media day and how the Blazers have the opportunity to give some good answers for a change. What a slap in the face Olshey gave to Canzano and that article. Love it!

    Now Canzano whines on Twitter . . . love it even more!

    I thought Olsheys response to the question was hilarious (especially loved the 'dude!')and maybe it was warranted. And maybe, just perhaps he is telling it like it is about LA.

    The interesting thing about Canzano is he has had his back all summer. Where some might nitpick some of Neils moves. John has had his back. Was it John that presented him with this question? If it was and he responded to John that way. You're right. John will have an ax to grind for the rest of the season.

    You make a media guy look bad, and the others are quick to have his back. They all take it personal whether it is deserved or not.
    Good luck Neil, they will not forgive or forget.

    Canzano's big story line will be how the glare off his big forehead fixed Anna's lazy eye.

    Whomever it is asking the question tries to avoid responsibility for it by saying "the fans are wondering"... :biglaugh:

    I'm not wondering, are you wondering? :dunno:

    Weak sauce. :tsktsk:

    I loved his response. A lot more informative compared to what others are doing with topics that keep getting recycled like 2014 free agency.

    He did and I wouldn't be surprised if that was his intent. He had to know that sooner or later the question was coming and I think that he was prepared and wanted to try to end it once and for all. I think he blew up on the reporter so hopefully the question would stop and LA wouldn't end up blowing up on a reporter, which would've made things worse.

    No doubt Olshey has a tendency to be cocky in general, but I think in this case he took one for the team. IMO it was a calculated response.

    A miscalculation, in my opinion. You can be firm and make your point without being a jerk. Olshey was actually ridiculing the person who asked the question, and that was way out of line.
