IUPUI men’s basketball coach Jason Gardner, who was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated Monday morning, resigned on Tuesday. Gardner was arrested in Hamilton Country early Monday morning. On Tuesday, IUPUI stated that Gardner and the university “have mutually agreed ...
In every free agency period, you have your winners and you have your losers. Sometimes, it’s pretty easy to tell how teams fared right off the bat. Take this year’s free agency, less than one day old: the 76ers lost Jimmy Butler to the Heat, but still won the day. Anytime you can add somebody who’s ...
There I am, sitting in my living room as Wesley Matthews is about to inbound the ball for a potential game-tying shot. I’m feeling good about the Pacers’ chances, even though the game slipped away from them in the fourth quarter. Instead of tossing it into Bojan Bogdanovic, Matthews decided to ...
Can Marcus Smart swing a playoff series? No. Does he scare opposing defenses? No. But will the Celtics feel his absence in the first round against the Pacers? Absolutely. Smart is the type of player that every team would love to have. He’s one of those guys with an irrational confidence and a pesky ...
It’s Game 7 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals. Jayson Tatum just baptized LeBron James, the roof of the TD Garden is about to blow, and Brad Stevens is flexing a Jimmy Neutron-esque IQ. The Boston Celtics came within one game of the NBA Finals with a 20-year-old rookie as their best player, ...
You might not realize it, but the Indiana Pacers have been one of the most stable organizations over the past 20 years when it comes to head coaches. In the 22 year span from 1997 to 2019, the Pacers have only had six coaches. That's pretty impressive. In light of Nate McMillan's outstanding job last ...
There aren’t many coaches who’ve had to deal with what Nate McMillan has this season. Usually, if your best player goes down, you might just pack it in and say “well, on to next year.” But not Nate. Since Victor Oladipo was lost for the season, McMillan has guided the Pacers to a 22-11 record ...
Believe it or not, the Indiana Pacers haven’t shifted in the standings since Victor Oladipo’s injury. The Pacers are one of only six teams in the NBA with 40 or more wins, a group that includes the Bucks, Raptors, Warriors, 76ers, and Nuggets. That is some stellar company for a team that is lacking ...
A good rule of thumb for first place teams is to avoid making any unnecessary roster moves. Almost five years ago today, the Pacers broke that rule. Let me take you back to the 2013-14 season. If you’re a Pacers fan, you were flying high. Fresh off of pushing the Heat to seven games in the Eastern ...
If you’re a fan of the Blue and Gold, Wednesday’s loss to the Bucks was a tough one to take. It was one of those games that was back-and-forth throughout, but it came down to the Pacers needing a big play to get over the hump. No problem: just pop it out to Vic…..oh, wait. The Milwaukee game ...
