Davis led the Magic to an 8-5 record, a significant improvement from last year?s 0-14 start. This season marks the best start for Orlando through 13 games since going 10-3 during the 1998-99 season. Orlando leads the league in rebounding, while ranking among the top 10 in blocks (2nd), scoring (3rd), opponents? field goal percentage (7th) and free throw percentage (9th). McMillan led the Sonics to an impressive 13-3 record through November, including a nine-game winning streak, to hold the second-best winning percentage in the West. The Sonics led the league in three-point field goal percentage (39.2%) and held opponents to a league-low 35.1 rebounds and 6.4 steals per game. McMillan surpassed Bill Russell to rank fourth on the Sonics all-time coaching win list, clinching his 163rd win on November 9th against San Antonio.</div> <font size="1">Full Story courtesy of NBA.com.</font> No surprises here, considering he's done it without the luxury of a dominant scoring big man and a sophomore point guard who only played sparingly last season. Well done Mac10.
Credit where credit is due. I don't think that anyone could be doing a better job than Nate has done thus far this season. Hopefully his successful decision making continues.
Nate McMillan has done a great job this year...I hope he will coach the Sonics for the next few years.
