Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get that many, if not most, in here are not fans of Nate McMillan, and I understand the reasons why.

That being said, anyone have a link to some or all of his appearance as a guest analyst on NBATV recently?

Well, maybe the Blazers should've hired him as a guest analyst instead of a coach.

Nate McMillan has a niche as a coach, and he does it very well: He can take a young, inexperienced group of players with not a lot of winning culture and turn them into a decent team with his "Sarge" act. Problem is that getting past that level for him is very difficult, because sooner or later the team will tune out the yelling and screaming and threatening. He was incapable of motivating and X'ing and O'ing a team that knew what it was doing. That was proved both in Seattle and Portland. That's why he remains jobless. Dude's a nice guy, but has severe limitations on his coaching abilities that became woefully apparent.

I don't think many would disagree with that assessment. That is not what the OP is asking though.

I agree that he's useless with starters who have been around the league, but as for the boldfaced part, link?

That, and also that he's being paid $5 million this year to sit on his ass and occasionally show up on TV.
