If there was any doubt Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard gets cozy with Woj, it left when news broke today that he would hire former Toronto Raptors assistant Nate Bjorkgren. Throughout the process, names were mentioned in the national media, but rarely Bjorkgren’s. We heard Mike D’Antoni, Darvin Ham, Chris Finch, Chauncey Billups, Dan Craig, and […]
For as long as I can remember, I have been a guy who liked to call BS on cowardly management, corrupt policies, and bad mojo. Until today.

Reflexively, I immediately thought Billy Donovan as the next coach for the Indiana Pacers would be an upgrade over Nate McMillan. Oops. Upon further review, that might not be the case. McMillan was fired because he could not lead the Pacers to postseason success. Here’s what Donovan has done in the playoffs over the past […]
