Pacers fire Nate McMillan

[WesCrook]

Not his fault. He did the best he could with that roster.

If anything someone should have told Oladipo this isn't 2018 and you ain't the same player breh. Be a playmaker and pass the rock.

Monta Ellis. Puts up stats, but plays a style not conducive overall team success

 

[MikelArteta]

kinda silly seeing as though the team plays well and they didnt have sabonis or lamb. he did get swept and expectations were that it would be a reasonably close series but idk

the games were actually kind of close until the fourth

 

[MikelArteta]

I thought he was going to survive that loss to the Heat. There has to be some other shyt going on in the background. I like Nate because he gets the most out of his guys. He didn't have Sabonis and Oladipo still isn't 100%. He'll probably take over in DC once they fire Scott Brooks and decide to trade John and Brad.

while luke walton has never made the playoffs yet has never been out of work

Yeah I know, I watched them. The team played well under his guidance and they weren't full strength. I think them getting swept was just an excuse but it's strange that that would be the rationale given they recently extended him

He doesnt' seem like the type to be doing rails on his desk or hitting thots on the training table. I'm guessing that it is relationship management with the players.

That's what I'm thinking. The FO seems to be on some petty shyt.

Pelicans gotta be intrigued

Or he runs an old school style that not only has its limitations, but it’s also boring.


Pacers: #1 in the NBA this season in 2 pointers made, 3rd in attempts, but 29th in 3 pointers made and last in attempts. Last in both free throws made and attempted.

no wonder why they’re interested in D’Antoni.

 

[Brozay]

did they really need to sneak in that he was 3-16 in the playoffs for them? just seems petty

Nate McMillian is a great coach that always overachieves relative to his roster. He is 10x the coach Brett Brown is.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

What does that have to do with changing the coach if you want to?


I’m surprised they fired him too and if this was just to position themselves to get D’Antoni it’s a lateral move at best, but some of y’all are basically saying keep Nate because this is as good as it’ll get for them. Well they’ll definitely never win anything thinking that way.

They’re not winning a title, period..

Nate took them to 4 straight playoff appearances. They acting like they have another level to get to..

They don’t

 

[Humble (Not) Mike Tyson]

damn.. nba playing musical chairs with coaches every year now

Get your money, but, what's the point in multiple year contracts.

Nate had a short roster and wasn't expecting a Finals appearance.

Geeze-Louise!

They don’t

if management was totally cool with just getting to the postseason, the players are gonna realize that and not stick around which means he’s gonna stop going to the playoffs to which then they’ll fire him anyway. Even if they ultimately keep getting bounced early in the playoffs, if they can doing in a different style, what does it cost them?

 

[TheNig]

Your best player is a injured Oladpio. Free agents aren’t running to Indiana. Let’s see who they get to replace him.

Him being injured all the time probably makes Sabonis their best player at this point.

The fukked up part is he was hurt this year too.

And ultimately that lack of continuity is the reason why they can't win. They never really play together because someone is always hurt.

 

[tremonthustler1]

If Philly plans on keeping Simmons they need to hire Nate. Nate will never pressure Ben to shoot outside the paint.
