Pacers fire Nate Bjorkgren

Mediocre East teams don't really need to exist.

I'd be none the wiser with fake box scores

they had just given McMillan an extension like 2 weeks before firing him and Pritchard had came out and said this

"What Nate has done in four seasons with our franchise merits this extension," said President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard. "Between injuries and changes in personnel, he and his coaching staff have adapted and produced positive results. He also represents the franchise, the city and our state in a first-class manner."

Who reported that he lost the locker room because I honestly don’t recall that. If he did lose the locker room, then this new coach came in and lost that same locker room again after less than 1 year. Maybe the players and roster that Pritchard has assembled needs to get questioned. What’s probably even worse than the firing is that Nate McMillan, after clearly overachieving with that Indy roster, had to sign on as an assistant coach for the Hawks. Meanwhile someone like Stotts who hardly did anything in almost 10 years in Portland looks like he’ll have no problem finding a new job.

It was widely reported back then. I googled it and found articles like this :

If I remember correctly he had problems with Dipo, Brogdon and Turner I think, so it wasn't just one player.

Now who is at fault is another story but when a coach has lost the lockeroom since you can't fire all the players you have to try to fire the coach.

That info is being based off Ric Bucher’s sources, and that article even cites sources from Chris Broussard. I don’t take either one of them seriously.

They are going to run out of Nates at this rate.

Some teams want to win a championship and some teams like Indiana are content with 1st round exits

Broussard is a widely known pathological liar.
