LOS ANGELES — Curt Miller is not a patient man. It was, as his mother constantly reminded him, his greatest growth area. It's what could make the beginning of his second stint in L.A. so difficult.
"I'm not a good loser," the first-year Sparks head coach said with a grin, "but I'm a good builder."
Miller's renovation of the Sparks will require patience in an impatient city. He and first-year general manager Karen Bryant have dodged specific championship talk, especially as the Sparks come off a 13-23 record and 11th-place finish, but are hoping to lay a strong foundation that will be worth the wait.
