Joe Freeman of The Oregonian writes that Nate McMillan has finally bagged the "we need to shoot better" line, and admitted there's a disconnect between his message and the players' effort and output... -------------------------- "Evidently, they're not responding to me, because all these games look similar," McMillan said. "So I asked them: 'Is it clear what we're asking you to do?'" His words were met with blank states and silence. "They didn't say anything," McMillan said. "The thing is, they didn't have to say anything. I think the games show that. We're not getting it done." -------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
