Jason Quick, The Oregonian
This may be stating the obvious after yet another hard-to-watch Trail Blazers
performance on Sunday, but something is terribly wrong with this basketball
team.
One of the problems, however, does not appear to be the players' support of
their coach, Nate McMillan.
After Sunday's 100-91 victory over the hapless Clippers, which ended a
six-game losing streak but continued a string of sloppiness and unsightly
shooting, three Blazers players emphatically supported their coach: Andre
Miller, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum.
And those three players made it sound like the other 12 Blazers would say the
same thing: The problems here lie not with the coach, but in a jumbled mess
of hectic travel, a short-handed roster and mostly, a lot of old-fashioned,
plain-and-simple poor basketball.
There have been bonehead passes. Poor decisions. Sloppy play execution. And
no one has had their shooting touch.
Sooner or later, of course, the coach becomes responsible for the play of the
team. It is his job to help make the shots easier. To make the decisions more
simple. And to demand perfection of how plays are executed.
Right now, however, the players are still taking ownership of this debacle,
and that's important to note. Because in the NBA, the first thing that always
goes overboard on a sinking ship is the players' support of the coach.
Saw it here with Mike Dunleavy. Saw it here with Maurice Cheeks.
And on Friday, when McMillan lamented that "evidently, they're not responding
to me" after the team's loss in Washington, it seemed as if the writing was
on the wall once again in Portland: The players had subtly told the coach it
was time to go.
But on Sunday, the three Blazers -- chosen only because of their availability
in the post-game locker room -- said McMillan still commands respect and
control of the locker room.
"I've played for coaches where you can get a feel that they have lost the
team, and the guys are tuning the coach out," said Miller, in his 12th
season. "But not in this case. It's been a tough schedule. Tough trips. And
we are still playing hard. So I wouldn't go as far to say that he has lost
the team. We've just hit a tough stretch."
One of McMillan's biggest fears throughout the years has been his words and
instructions falling on deaf ears. It's the main reason he left Seattle for
Portland: The players there had heard all his speeches before, and been
subjected to all his motivational tools. His voice, McMillan remembers
feeling, had become "noise."
Aldridge, a player who is in his fifth season with McMillan, said the team
still listens to McMillan and still wants to win for him.
"He still has us. Just look at us, we are still playing hard, trying to win,"
Aldridge said. "If he didn't have us, then guys wouldn't compete. I would say
guys are competing, we just aren't finishing games. Do you agree? Because if
he didn't have us, there would be teams scoring layups, everybody taking bad
shots ... I mean, if the coach doesn't have the respect in here, you are not
going to play hard."
One of the players who could have a chip on his shoulder about McMillan is
Batum, who last week lost his starting job to Wesley Matthews. When asked if
the players still supported McMillan, Batum chuckled.
"Yeah, I heard something that he said we are not listening to him ... I say
bull," Batum said. "We trust him. We've had success with him. Fifty wins.
Fifty-four wins. Sometimes when you lose, you hear 'It's his fault. It's his
fault.' But no. We believe in him. He has tried to keep a fire in us. And we
have been up 10 in all these games we lost. So we believe in him. Trust me.
Trust me."
It has been a trying time for McMillan. He admitted after Sunday's game that
he still hasn't figured out this team. He can't put his finger on why they
suddenly make passes directly at a defender. Or why they dribble balls off
their legs. Or why a simple layin can't fall.
Some of it, he surmises, is that the team is tired. Some of it may have to do
with aging veterans Marcus Camby (36) and Miller (34). Some of it may have to
do with the creaky knees of Brandon Roy, who is clearly a different player
than the one who signed a maximum deal in the summer of 2009. And some of it
is that the bench -- particularly at point guard -- has offered little
support.
In the meantime, McMillan has tried every tactic he knows. He yelled so loud
at Oklahoma City that he could be heard through concrete walls and a steel
door. And he has given the silent treatment to the point that the team felt
ashamed at themselves.
"When we first started losing -- when the streak was at two or three -- he
was really, really mad," Aldridge said. "But when you are in a funk, you
can't keep beating and beating, so I think he tried to find positives to give
us confidence. I think that must be hard for a coach to figure out. Because
right now, we are all shook. Nobody wants to keep losing."

真的不是我要說 理由伯名不虛傳
老將累了 ? 別隊都沒有 ?
板凳不夠有力 尤其PG ? 換出去才知道叫苦 ?
Roy受傷倒是真影響了老梗大絕招
但是理由伯最厲害的
是卸責到球員身上還可以得到球員支持喔 ~ ^\(^▽^)/
