Formerly known as Mr. Sonic, Coach Nate McMillan has to be pleased with the play of his young squad so far. For just a moment, Coach McMillan even sat down, which you rarely see during a game.

A 13 point lead, however, isn't enough and "Sarge" is back on his feet.

Nate seems a little upset that Power Forward Channing Frye has let the Sonics frontcourt push him around a little on the low block.

It's interesting to see the difference in coaching style between PJ Carlesimo and Nate McMillan. As I mentioned previously, PJ used to be notoriously intense, but tonight he seems to be channeling Gregg Popovich. He's calm, cool and collected, even though his team is trailing by double-digits.

Nate, on the other hand, has only sat down twice, and he's been barking out orders ever since the second line stepped on the floor.

Heading into the second quarter, the Trail Blazers lead 31-24 and LaMarcus Aldridge leads all scorers with 13. Roy leads all Trail Blazers with 2 assists.
