Certainly not terrible figures, but those match the criticisms in Portland, particularly the pace.

D'Antoni would certainly be in interesting hire.
I can't argue with the criticism of Nate Mc. in Portland, but higher pace rankings weren't going to push the Pacers past the first round during that four season period. See my post #784 for the reasoning as for the ousters.
