by Kent Sterling Let’s call this game what it is – a battle of the collective will of the Indiana Pacers against the individual will of the greatest player in the world – LeBron James. The Big Three has become the Big One as James has outscored Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combined 171-155, and […]
by Kent Sterling The Indiana Pacers better make sure their mouthguards fit correctly as the Game Seven they earned tonight is going to bring a response on Monday at 8:30p. The Heat aren’t going to surrender their crown without a fight the likes of which these Pacers have never faced. Tonight, everything that went right […]
by Kent Sterling Well that was entertaining, wasn’t it. NBA games take a long damn time with replays being checked every 12 seconds, but there are nights like tonight when they are worth it. There was a critical moment with the Pacers holding an 81-72 lead with 8:26 left when the Pacers made what looked […]
by Kent Sterling How do you beat Sunday? The Indy 500 followed by Game One of a best-of-five with Indiana holding home court advantage will make May 26th one of the best sports days in Indianapolis since the heyday of Reggie Miller’s Pacers.

by Kent Sterling There will not be a single analyst with any knowledge of basketball who will pick the Indiana Pacers to beat the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they will likely be right. Overcoming the best player in basketball is going to be a tough assignment. LeBron James is not just […]
by Kent Sterling The pundits thought the Knicks would play like caged animals. Their backs to the wall, the Knicks surely would claw like rabid wolverines to even up the series tonight. The Pacers expected them to be frantic, focused, and frenzied. The Knicks slept through Game Four, putting up a disinterested, dispirited effort that […]
by Kent Sterling If the Knicks win tonight’s game, the series between the Pacers and Knicks will be tied at two, and the Knicks will have two games left at home to put away the young upstarts from Indiana. If the Pacers win, they will have a 3-1 stranglehold that will give them three shots […]
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 […]
