by Kent Sterling It’s odd how quickly the season transitions to the offseason after that final disappointing game, and last night’s game in Memphis against the Grizzlies certainly qualifies as disappointing. Making the playoffs had been a long shot for months as injuries were a major issue throughout the 2015-2016 season, and finally health and […]
by Kent Sterling Does anyone really think that Indiana point guard Yogi Ferrell is going to forego his senior season to enter the NBA Draft? For those awaiting word, it will come at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on the north side of Indianapolis Saturday, April 25th. I have yet to find a mock draft or word […]
by Kent Sterling The Chicago Bulls hammered the Brooklyn Nets 113-86 last night to help the Indiana Pacers gain control of their own playoff fortunes. A win tonight against the Washington Wizards couple with another tomorrow at Memphis, and the Pacers are in. After winning five straight, the Pacers appear to be rolling, but they […]

The correct saying is “A lot of bad things happen after midnight.” Anyone who has been in a bar after midnight knows that arguments escalate into fights a hell of a lot more […]
by Kent Sterling Pacers forward Chris Copeland is okay, according to reports, after being stabbed a few hours ago while leaving 1 OAK, a club in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. That’s the important thing. Copeland is alright, the victim of a non-life-threatening knife injury to his elbow and abdomen just before the club closed […]
by Kent Sterling The Final Four has been held in Indianapolis six times, and Duke has qualified for three of those celebrations of amateur basketball (1991, 2010, 2015). They have won the National Championship all three times. Yet, only 9.8% entrants in the ESPN Bracket Challenge guessed Duke would win. Idiots! Kentucky was supposed to […]
by Kent Sterling This argument on the day of a National Championship that could have featured both Kentucky’s John Calipari and Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, but doesn’t. is whether Izzo should have beaten Calipari to enshrinement in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
