Its hard to believe a few years ago this guy won Coach of the Year and now today he is out as Head Coach of Toronto. Honestly I am more shocked this did not happen sooner. When Kobe Bryant dropped 81 on them a couple years ago by himself no less I thought Sam Mitchell should've been fired then or at the very least expected it. Instead their GM at the time was shown the door. Now fast forward to today and Sam is out. I know expectations were high for Toronto to make some noise in the East with the acquisition of Jermaine O'Neal(and as a Pacers fan I could've told you that was a bad idea) along with Chris Bosh would make them a great post threat. Unfortunately though it is not going as planned and they figured maybe a coaching change is in order. Perhaps it is but honestly I would've waited until the end of the season to do so because its not as if Toronto is like the Thunder or the Wizards right now. Time will tell whether this was a good move or not.
Nobody is safe
Try spelling Toronto with a capital T next time. The last time the pacers were relevant was the second before Artest went buckwild in the D. And try taking a look at JO's stats before you tell us you told us so.
oooh, that's better.
