by Kent Sterling Choose whatever reason you like – the NBA rigging the game, the officials working to balance things out, the Knicks being more focused, or things just not going quite as well for the Pacers – but tonight’s Game Two against the Knicks may as well be over right now because there is […]
by Kent Sterling For months, the knuckleheads in Chicago sportsradio and boobs who troll message boards have been eager to advice and criticize Bulls guard Derrick Rose for not playing after being cleared by his doctors. Derrick can thank his brother Reggie for all this noise. The Bulls will open their Eastern Conference Semifinals tonight […]
by Kent Sterling With 10:34 left in the second quarter, Hawks shooter Kyle Korver hit a jumper to bring the Hawks to within one at 23-22. With 9:38 left in the third quarter, Devin Harris drove for a layup to cut the Pacers lead to 11. In between, the Hawks missed 14 shots, the bough […]
by Kent Sterling The Pacers @ Hawks, and Knicks @ Celtics start the action at 7p (ET, and the Thunder @ Rockets and Clippers @ Grizzlies wrap up a night filled with game sixes. All that’s missing are staggered start times, so fans could see the finishes to every game. The Knicks, Pacers, and Thunder […]
by Kent Sterling Prior to Game Five, I posted the 10 things the Pacers needed to do to beat the Atlanta Hawks in that pivotal game. They won 103-86, so it’s easy to assume that a lot of what the Pacers did was right, and that they kept the Hawks from getting much done themselves. […]

by Kent Sterling Tonight’s Game Five matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks is the biggest game for the Pacers since Reggie Miller’s retirement ushered in a era of fan malaise the franchise has been trying to climb from since. With a win in this series, the Pacers would show progress. With a loss, […]
by Kent Sterling Memo to the Indiana Pacers – Kyle Korver is a really good shooter. Left open, he is almost a lock to make shots from anywhere within 30 feet of the bucket. Korver had 19 points last night in the Hawks 101-90 win that evened the series at two wins apiece. Because Korver […]
by Kent Sterling I didn’t think much about Jason Collins as he played 12 years in the NBA as a guy about whose sexual preference I didn’t care, and nothing that happened today changed that. By all accounts, he’s a great guy if a relatively mediocre player. That’s interesting to me. What he or any […]
by Kent Sterling Life is too short to spend any of it on the New York Jets roster. Rex Ryan is the ringmaster of a dysfunctional circus that draws a crowd of irrational malcontents. He has no chance to succeed because the team is incapable of success. Smith could go 21-of-22, and Jets fans would […]
