Good news has been hard to find, and it’s been difficult for many to have anything to look forward to over the last several months. While some have chosen to not watch the NBA in Orlando for “reasons”, those […]
By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Victor Oladipo has decided to sit out the Orlando-bubbled NBA restart.

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Playing without four key players? A crushing overtime loss the night before? No problem for the Indiana Pacers.

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL)ISL Editor Ever since T.J. Warren was acquired by the Indiana Pacers this summer, I’ve seen some extreme takes about him on both sides. Shocking, right? Some fans and media have said he’s not as good as Bojan Bogdanovic, and he only scored a lot last year because he played on a […]
By TYLER SMITHISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Another NBA season is upon us, and the Indiana Pacers are out to “prove themselves” all over again.
