    How can we have playoff success “again” when we didn’t have it before? When Olshey and Stotts joined the organization, the Blazers hadn’t won a playoff series in TWELVE YEARS. Anfernee Simons was 1 years old.

    Blazers made the playoffs for 21 consecutive years, and 27 of 28 years (the coaches in that period included Mo Cheeks, Mike Dunleavy, PJ Carlesimo, and Mike Schuller). Those teams won 3 western conference finals and a championship. Those teams won 21 games in the conference finals and NBA finals. The Olshey/Stotts teams haven't won a single game past the semi's in 9 years, and they have a .357 record in the playoffs. Normalize that winning percentage to a season and they win 29 of 82 games

    gauging the Olshey/Stotts teams by the worst period in Blazer history is cherry-picking deflection
