Nate McMillan, the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers where Greg Oden plays Center, recently sat down with Benson Taylor of Sporting News. Coach McMillan explained that they’ve had a successful season, partly as a result of the excellent coaching staff. As he said, “We’ve got to be the hardest-working team out on the court. And our guys have responded to that.”
He plans to make a number of decisions in the offseason to help to rebuild the team so that it will be strong enough to compete in the Western Conference and possibly for a championship.
