    This sounds like what might be written about Nate next year:

    I get goosepimples. The GM who fired Woodson is Rick Sund, none other than Wally Walker's right-hand man in the Sonic debacle. When the Okies bought the team, they replaced Sund with Presti. Get this. When McMillan was Sonic Coach, his boss was Sund. I'm breaking out in shivers now. This was all meant to be.

    Hasoos and Oddenormous started threads about this, too. Other similarities to McMillan (from the ESPN article):

    Differences from McMillan: At the end he lost touch with his players. Atlanta played without intensity, direction, leadership, or inspiration (according to some comments).

    That was from Hollinger's article on TrueHoop. The main ESPN article has these parallels.

    The players tuning out Woodson / him losing touch with some players--

    I called it a difference, but maybe there are signs of that becoming a similarity (Rudy, and Andre Miller until he started).
