By ALEX GOLDEN (@AlexGoldenNBA)ISL Contributor INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers under Nate Bjorkgren have not been fun to watch. The beginning of the season gave us a false hope, and after trading Victor Oladipo, the team has regressed more and more after each game. Am I blaming this all on Bjorkgren? No, not at all. […]

We will never forget some of these memories- and these moments gave us some joy and something to talk about […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS —  Is it 2013 again?  That was the last time the Indiana Pacers started the season 3-0.  That was also the last time the Pacers dominated 3rd quarters.  After another great 3rd quarter on Monday night, the Pacers defeated the Boston Celtics in impressive fashion, earning that elusive 3-0 […]

And if there’s one thing we’ve learned about “new Nate” so far, it’s this: Be ready for anything. The Nate McMillan days are over.  The same set plays? History.  The same defensive […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS —  It’s not your typical start to a new basketball season, but the NBA is back.  After Friday night’s final preseason tuneup, the Indiana Pacers are ready for the real thing next week.
