On Wednesday, morning after digesting the not shocking yet brutally timed Woj Bomb regarding Nate Bjorkgren’s future as the Pacers head coach, a buddy of mine texted the following:
Is Bjorkgren really on the hot seat already?
My initial reply was: Who isn’t on the hot seat at BLF?
Perception is reality in today’s NBA and the perception of this Pacers team, as they wind down this brutal season filled with COVID protocols, injuries and heaping spoonfuls of defensive lapses, is that the rats are abandoning a sinking ship.
When Woj and Shams get involved in the day-to-day operations of your organization, things are happening and change is likely on the horizon.
