Only coaches Larry should go after should be Messina and Blatt. Everyone else... Nah. Maybe Nate though..

Blatt? So Paul George can coach? Messina?

East was ungodly weak when he went to ECF except for the team they couldn't get past, all the rest is useless, but you're right they aren't making it out of the east, so why keep Vogel. It doesn't matter if you do or don't but a change isn't a bad thing. And dear lord he is nowhere near those guys. They win championships.

Except for the fact that he is. He is widely regarded as being in the top tier of the league. For coaches with 500 games coached, Vogel has the 19th best winning record. Of all time. He has a better winning percentage than Doc Rivers. Since Vogel has been the coach of the Pacers 4 different NBA coaches have won a championship and they aren't going to be able to hire one of those guys. Why keep Vogel? The players liked him. The fans liked him. He won consistently.

What the Pacers really need is someone who can recruit and build a roster. Larry Bird has proven that he has serious shortcomings in this respect.

Messina is the Spurs assistant that everyone talks about

He has a 31-30 in playoffs. Hardly consistently winning. It's unreal how little regular season matters. That team will not take a step back with whoever they hire, and won't take a step forward till roster changes

Thank you for agreeing that the roster is the issue and not Vogel.

.... Seriously? If they hire Jackson or Shaw and there is minimal change to the roster the team takes a step backward with the only reason to watch being PG and Turner. He turned a team with Stuckey, Ellis, Jordan Hill, LaVoy Allen, CJ Miles, and a young still not good defensively Turner and made them a top defensive team still. Not to mention PG still isn't where he was two years ago defensively coming back from injury.

Where did I say something different?

[Trish 12,518]

Roster is terrible, still should've beaten the Raptors though. 

 

Blow it up, trade everyone not named Turner or Paul (unless an amazing deal comes up..)

PG will listen to whoever coaches. Blatt was a great coach. The only coach to get fired while having the #1 team in the conference.

Go after JVG. A much more proven coach.

Knowing Larry, I wouldn't be surprised if they hired some Mid major college coach.

And the refs continue to be turrrble...

Toronto player hop skips and jumps before taking a shot to end regulation without a call. lol

Livingston is tossed after the ref clearly missed him getting whacked in the head on a dunk. It's as if the refs mentally flip a coin to determine if they're going to make a call.

In old news Steph Curry is amazing. My gosh I've missed watching this guy. I would compare him to a video game but I'm not sure that even does him justice.

Nope. Because you can't do what he does in a video. I'm not joining. Try it in 2K... doesn't work.

Edit: 2K even knows you can't do what he does in the game. And they have zero clue how to make it possible other than just making him a 99 in three's.

McMillan being promoted is yet another sign that Bird is completely out of touch with the current NBA

[Trish 12,518]

it's times like this where I can smile, being a lakers fan and all :)

This year, the NBA draft lottery is filmed in front of a captured audience. Sure hope the 76(loss)ers don't get the #1 pick.

[mdn82 25,747]

Either Boston, LA, or 76ers
