December is traditionally a month where questions about sports are answered. Football teams are moving through the final chapters of their seasons, and the silt starts to settle for basketball teams revealing who has a chance for championships and who doesn’t. For those teams that don’t meet expectations, job security is a difficult quarry, and those […]
What did I tell you about this weekend! Plenty of good stories, as promised. Wins by the Colts, Pacers, Indiana Football, a loss by Purdue (to Indiana for the third straight year), an offensive slugfest for the ages in the 5A state football championship, and a long overdue retirement announcement kept sports fans plenty busy in Indy this […]
2015 is an odd year for sports fans in central Indiana. Optimists have plenty of reason to feel smart, but pessimists are justified in their negative thoughts. The Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers (basketball & football), Bulldogs, and Boilermakers (basketball) are all teetering between realizing their goals and falling off a cliff. Fascinating times provide a fascinating […]
Ten games into the season, the Pacers are 6-4. Projected over the entire season, that equates to 48-49 wins. The Pacers play the Chicago Bulls on the road tonight in what will be an early referendum on their progress in reconfiguring their roster and offensive concepts.

Mathis pitched for his team filled with Colts and media members in the Indiana […]
by Kent Sterling I’m all in – not only for the Indiana Pacers to earn a spot in the NBA Playoff, but to raise hell once they get there. With seven games left, it was assumed by most that the Indiana Pacers would need to sweep those games in order to secure a spot in […]
by Kent Sterling Watching mildly talented men play basketball with indifference is not how I want to spend my time, so unless the Pacers find a way to , regain health, start playing with a little determination, and catch fire I’m going to focus my energy on watching Butler, Purdue, Indiana, and whatever high school games […]
by Bert Beiswanger As off-seasons go, the Indiana Pacers current one is about as bad as it gets for Pacers fans. The team has gone from championship contender to who knows what in the span of a couple of weeks. Whatever who knows what is, it is way below championship contender. The latest injury to […]
by Kent Sterling Last night was not the way Pacers fans wanted the supposed dream season to end. Beating the Miami Heat to force a Game Seven in Bankers Life Fieldhouse would have made for a sweet finale to a series against a hated rival, but the Pacers never competed at a level that threatened […]
by Kent Sterling With the Indiana Pacers playing passive basketball on both ends of the floor in last night’s win-or-die Game Five, the Miami Heat enjoyed a 50-43 with 5:48 remaining in the third quarter. Then, Lance Stephenson awakened. Not sure the cause, but the first sign of life was a Stephenson foul on Dwyane […]
