by Kent Sterling Both Pacers teams finished the regular season 56-26, one team still with several young parts, and the other on its last legs before being disbanded. 2000 was the year a team that had been together for several years finally got over the hump to earn the only trip in the NBA Finals […]
by Kent Sterling Make no mistake – I want the Indiana Pacers to win their current series against the Washington Wizards, and then beat the Miami Heat (what, you think Brooklyn has a chance to win three straight?), but this is exhausting. The Pacers appear to be a bunch of good and earnest guys who […]
by Kent Sterling Anyone who wondered if the Indiana Pacers were capable of playing poorly again after three straight wins over the Washington Wizards got a resounding answer tonight in the form of a 102-79 beat down that wasn’t that close. When the game ends with seldom seen Pacers Lavoy Allen and Donald Sloane on […]
by Kent Sterling While Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is certainly a pathetic and twisted wretch of self-immersed putrescence, those who find glee in his extended torment are not much better.

If the Pacers win, they will enjoy three opportunities to close out their latest overhyped foe on the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Or if the Pacers lose, a best two-out-of-three series begins Tuesday night […]
by Kent Sterling Predictability is not a strength of the Indiana Pacers, and that’s a very good thing tonight. The one outcome that seemed least likely was a Pacers blowout win, so of course that is exactly what happened. Indiana, a team of a penchant for delivering drama took charge in the second half and […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert is going back to Washington DC, where he became a dominating presence in the Big East, and as we try to find reasons to predict whether good Roy will show up, that’s a good as any. Nothing substantial was different between games one & two of this […]
by Kent Sterling In a perfect world, professional athletes would be smart enough to avoid watching ill-informed knuckleheads dissect their every move on TV, listen to music in their cars, and ignore the easily agitated fans who boo or tweet about what they perceive to be failure.
