The Trail Blazers are struggling, but coach Nate McMillan still has the support of his players.

Andre Miller, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum all voiced their support for McMillan after Portland ended their six-game losing streak against Los Angeles on Sunday night.

"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," Miller said.

"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.

"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."
