"We can play harder than that, we can play better than that, and we pretty much allowed that team to jump on us and I don't think we responded," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. You don't THINK they responded? He must be fired immediately.
Every game, players tire early because of his priorities, defense over offense for all 48 minutes. After the inevitable 4th quarter poop-out, he blames their effort every time. Then posters chime in that the players have given up on the season. I see the players working hard but inefficiently due to the coach.
