Really strange situation in Indiana right now. Multiple media reports in the last couple days suggesting that things are falling apart internally under Bjorkgren, with everyone from players to other assistant coaches complaining about him off-the-record. Then last night one of the players mouths-off to an assistant, the assistant gets into a yelling fit during a time out. Relevant to the Raptors not only because Bjorkgren was a respected and liked assistant during his time here, but also Indiana is in freefall in the standings and in danger of missing the play-in, with the Raptors positioned as the team that could catch them, and Indiana and Toronto playing on the last game of the season.
Indiana only needs a couple wins to clinch a play-in spot, but it's a drama to keep an eye on through these last few games.
