The Portland Trail Blazers, where Center
Greg Oden plays, have certainly had a trying season – but they managed to
clinch a playoff spot in the West and they have a chance to reach 50 victories
for the second consecutive season.
Benson Taylor of Sporting News sat down with Blazers' coach Nate McMillan
to discuss how the team remains so successful.
As coach McMillan said, “Our focus
is to finish the season strong. That’s my message to the team.” Their success this year, explained the coach,
was really based on the young guys being productive and raising their level of
play. And for the whole team to see itself as a unit and to play accordingly.
