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 Coaches who tell the truth are a lot more interesting in postgame press conferences than those who alibi or give oddly technical explanations for a loss.

RTV-6 Pacers Postgame Coverage Provides Some Laughs
by Kent Sterling Very few Indianapolis viewers watch RTV6 newscasts. Ratings are generally poor for their efforts.

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, […]
