Pacers coach Nate McMillan got a one-year extension today, and it was the exact right thing to do, regardless of a small subset of silly fans. Despite a stack of evidence as high as the ceiling of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, there is a sect of Pacers fans on social media that whined after today’s announcement about how […]
T.J. Warren has been a monster for the Indiana Pacers as they have rung up three straight drama free wins in the Orlando bubble, and the national media has barely mentioned him. Quiet but driven, Warren went to work during the COVID-19 hiatus to extend his range and be ready for the moment basketball resumed. Basketball […]

When I dated girls in high school and felt the girl was likely to punt on our brief and awkward relationship, I fired a preemptive strike to end things. I sense Pacers fans doing the same thing with Victor Oladipo, who is rumored to be looking toward free agency as an opportunity to join the […]
We got a little insight into the decision-making process of Victor Oladipo during yesterday’s Pacers media availability from Orlando. Last week, Oladipo shared on social media his decision to forego playing when the season resumes on August 1st. I understood that as a protective measure as he heads into the last season of his four-year, […]
So now, according to reports, Victor Oladipo is expected to play for the Indiana Pacers in Orlando. What are we to make of this turn of events?

That’s according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who spoke to Oladipo. He’s making a decision that will benefit both his long term […]
Paul George says more words that no one challenges and Pacers fans shouldn’t believe
Former Indiana Pacers forward Paul George was always unselfish with his time and words. Sadly, they had no meaning. To my endless discredit, it took me five conversations to figure that out. As it turns out, somehow I’m way ahead of the game because people are still asking him questions, and inexplicably also listening to the […]
Victor Oladipo has a serious decision to make. I’m a big fan of employees showing up for work and for teammates doing whatever is needed to answer the bell as a unit, but if Oladipo decides he is done with basketball until tipoff of the 2020-2021 season he gets a pass. Thirteen games into a […]
If Kyrie Irving wanted more minority owners and GMs in the NBA, he should have signed as a free agent last summer with a team that has one. Instead, Irving signed with Brooklyn, whose GM is New Zealander Sean Marks and owner is Taiwanese/Canadian Joe Tsai. Irving’s contract runs through 2023, so he’ll have another […]
