by Kent Sterling Whether or not anyone on the rosters of the New York Knicks or Indiana Pacers remember the epic playoff battle these teams waged between 1994 and 2000, this regular season game harkened back to those days. It was impossible to turn away from, and equally difficult to avoid becoming emotionally attached to […]
by Kent Sterling Contrasting styles make fights, and that’s why I can’t wait to watch the Indiana Pacers play the New York Knicks tonight at 7p on Fox Sports Indiana. The Pacers have won nine of ten, while the Knicks are 3-7. The causes for both results are many, and vividly display the differences between […]

I’m not such a sap that I believe the ubiquitous marketing people who try to extoll the […]
