Mitchell and Murray both, Trae, along with this years draft class Zion/Ja/etc. League is in good hands from a talent perspective.

Tatum and a Brown, too. I think Simmons and Embid are good players but I put them in the Chris Paul and James Harden category of not having what it takes to be the top dogs on a contender.

Boston and Philly both loaded up with draft picks the last 5 years or so and you can see the difference between a team that hit most of theirs (Boston) and a team that had some big misses/poor fits (Philly).

Wow how many coaches have gotten extended just before getting swept by a lower seeded team?  Has that ever happened before?

[HoosierRobbie]

Have no idea why McMillan was extended, I get there’s no Sabonis, but getting swept 2 years in a row in the first round is just unacceptable.

He probably gets a pass because of the injuries to Oladipo and Sabonis, but the optics still don't look good. I think there's a very good chance the Pacers have a different coach at this time next year.

Before Nate the Pacers had been swept 3 times in the previous 23 years. 

 

For those playing at home, Nate is now 3-16 with the Pacers, and  all 3 wins came in the same series

HEEEEEEEEEAT!

HOORAY FOR FLORIDA MAN.

Michael Porter jr’s lack of defense might just put Utah through to the next round.

And dang...Jamal Murray.

[Stuhoo]

Why Quinn Snyder didn’t run a double at Murray—force him to give up the ball? I have no idea.

Can't okay defense, but we are finally seeing a little bit of that potential we were supposed to see in college before his injury. Kid can be special.

He is absolutely awful. Heck he's only made it out of the first round once in his coach I ng career. But I fully believe the Pacers are fine with just this. Being just good enough to make the playoffs because they know that a ton of fans will let being mediocre pass.

LCS can breathe. McMillan has been fired.

There is zero way you can say he shouldn't have been fired.

Dumbest extension ever?

I’m not arguing with you. Just a friendly jab...

Welcome to the Pacers organization over the past 15 years.

The extension was more of a re-structuring to make it easier to fire him from what I’m reading.

I'm going to have to look on Twitter. I know there will be plenty thinking this was a bad fire. Probably the same who thought Crean shouldn't have been. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

So does this go into the Guinness Book of World Records for shortest duration between extension and termination?

[KingPG21]

Lol, was at work. Come out, turn on DD. Made my day to hear the news. Don’t have to wait another full year for no more Nate
