By TYLER SMITHISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — The future may be a little uncertain for the Indiana Pacers. Your guess is as good as mine in terms of how this roster will look next season.  But when it comes to Caris LeVert, there’s nothing to discuss.  LeVert will be a Pacer, and he will flourish in […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Even as the optimistic Indy writer, it hasn’t been easy finding many positives for the Indiana Pacers this season.  Expectations were fairly high for this team, and for a variety of reasons, it just hasn’t worked.  But if there’s one reason for optimism moving forward: It’s the play […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — As the Pacers disappointing season begins to wind down, let’s take a look at where they stand in the playoff/draft picture.  A lot can still change, but they appear to be destined for the “play-in” tournament that includes the No. 7-10 seeds in the Eastern Conference.

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. Am […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS —  Other than an actual playoff series, you won’t find a more important seven-game stretch than these next seven for the Indiana Pacers.  These first seven games of the second half could have major implications for the franchise.  At 16-19, the Pacers are still just 2 1/2 games behind […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — We usually have a good grasp of a team by the time the All-Star Break rolls around. That is not the case this season for the Indiana Pacers, (or several other Eastern Conference teams for that matter.)  After Thursday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Pacers limp into […]

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — It’s only natural for fans to make comparisons in sports and overreact to the present moment. Being isolated for much of the past year probably hasn’t helped that cause.  Some fans were even upset that the Pacers went 0-3 in the preseason, or that Goga Bitadze looked bad […]
