By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor You know how when you’re playing pickup ball, you make a shot against your defender and you get that rush? And you want the ball again next time because you know that no matter what your opponent does, you’ve got this? Paul George was that guy last night with LeBron […]

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers announced Monday they have signed head coach Frank Vogel to a contract extension. Per team policy, no terms were revealed. Vogel is in his third year as Pacers coach after taking over on Jan. 30, 2011. Going into Tuesday night’s home game with Miami, Vogel […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers announced Sunday they have waived forward Sam Young. Young, the fourth-year player out of Pitt, was signed as a free agent by the Pacers in September. He played in 28 games and averaged 3.6 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. Young has a sprained left […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Indy Sports Legends writers covered tons of games in 2012. Here, in my opinion, are the best 10 covered by members of the staff. All of the games were played in the state of Indiana. Some of the work was done for other publications, but nonetheless, the talent on the ISL staff witnessed the […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent With a 3-1 series lead and Dwight Howard schmoozing with his chiropractor, the game should have been anticlimactic. The Indiana Pacers were going to defeat the Orlando Magic. They inevitably would seize their first playoff series victory since 2005. And they would move on to bigger things, advance to face […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent With 2012 winding down, it’s worth a look back at the year that was. This is the point on the calendar when media types step back and attempt to weave a bunch of tiny threads into a larger quilt. In terms of the Indiana Pacers, no need to overthink it. […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Playing basketball two nights in a row typically poses a challenge for even the most well-conditioned NBA athletes. Not for the Indiana Pacers. While the Utah Jazz appeared weary, Indiana improved to 6-2 on the second night of a back-to-back and routed the Jazz 104-84 Wednesday night. Paul George scored […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I wrote earlier this season that Paul George had golden opportunity when Danny Granger went down. He’s finally starting to seize it, being named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week. As Danny Granger continues to heal, George is becoming that guy the Pacers have needed. If Granger is even […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – Only cramps can slow Paul George these days. Hydration might be the last hurdle for the blossoming third-year guard. George scored 17 of his 28 points in the second half of a 95-85 win Friday night over the Philadelphia 76ers. Roy Hibbert had 19 points and a season-high […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Already playing without star center Andrew Bynum, Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said he decided to err on the side of caution and sit his star point guard. Jrue Holiday, averaging 18.4 points and 8.9 assists, is sidelined with a sprained foot for – at least– tonight’s game at Bankers Life […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Touted by the Pacers as much more than a quality backup, D.J. Augustin hasn’t even been that. He’s been a major negative, and it’s easy to see why he’s relegated to Frank Vogel’s doghouse. He can’t make any shots, his turnover rate is high, and his defense is a joke. […]
