    Olshey's seat is getting warm in my opinion.

    He was a +11 in 5 minutes.

    As for coaching, it certainly look like Stotts has been given orders to play the young guys. Kaman started that first game after Leonard went down. Clearly, Olshey said Play the Young Guys after that game.

    Why? It's not even about this year. I dont like Stotts, but the realistic viewpoint is he'll probably be here for the year because... again, it's not about this year.

    I won't go after people until the 25 game so I keep the negatives to myself until then. Von did another decent job tonight with 4 and 6 and in the + side in the game.

    which will lead to a high lotto pick, so...that's a bad thing?

    No, if my theory is true, I am not angry at him or critical. I think it's ok with me also; it's a longer term perspective.

    It's a carefully crafted dumpster fire... one to which we hope we can make some smores and sing kumbaya in a couple years.

    I really get the feeling that Allen likes Olshey. Neil is really charasmatic, his drafting has been pretty good, and he's acquired some nice talent at bargain prices. What is there to fault him for?

    For a team this young with so many unprovens this was expected . . . and frankly it's kind of great in the long-term. At least this roster has enough talent to build a lead and/or compete every night. Imagine what it would look like if they managed to snag Ben Simmons somehow or get a guy with all-star potential with their upcoming (nearly guaranteed) high lotto pick?

    The NBA is all about selling wins or selling hope. In the absence of the former, there's actually a pretty decent amount of the latter. #ridethetank
