    If you’re a race nerd, the smile can’t be wiped off your face this week. It’s finally 500 week in Indy. While the on-track activity is on hiatus until Carb Day on Friday, virtually every driver and every team has some form of appearance, or you can meet said personalities [...]

    Soon enough, we will see how things unfold with Paul George vs. LeBron James, Roy Hibbert vs. Chris Bosh and even Lance Stephenson vs. Dwyane Wade. But how do these current Pacers match up against history? How would David West do against Dale Davis? Hibbert against Rik Smits? George against [...]

    Pacers’ success surprising even to Walsh

    If you feel a little guilty about having doubted these Pacers, having been thoroughly surprised by their success, don’t beat yourself up. Donnie Walsh feels the same way, and he’s the boss. It’s typical for those in Walsh’s position to take the “I told you so” stance, claiming to have [...]

    The phrase ‘workout wonder’ normally applies to activities that take place in Indianapolis in February. Mike Mamula immediately comes to mind from nearly 20 years ago, and Dontari Poe is the current example. Players who were going to be pros, but saw their draft stock soar due to great workouts.

    Mighty Miami against underdog Indiana. Marquee talent against collective will. Champion against upstart. These two teams waged a compelling second-round battle a year ago with the Pacers throwing a scare into the Heat before falling in six games. Not only are the stakes much higher this time, with a trip [...]

    MIAMI (TSN) – The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers will meet in the postseason for the second consecutive year, but this time, it’s in the Eastern Conference Finals. Last year, the Pacers actually held a 2-1 series lead in their semifinal matchup, but ultimately fell in six games. The Heat, [...]

    “Do not mistake activity for achievement.” It’s one of my favorite quotes. It also strikes me as the most apt description of Sunday’s action at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There was plenty of activity: over 2200 laps were turned in what ended up being a great day for practice. There [...]

    You’re already hearing and reading the national storyline: nice job getting this far, Pacers, but there’s no way you’re going to beat the Heat. And the thing is, they’re probably right. Miami has, after all, won 45 of its last 48 games, including an 8-1 record in the playoffs. And [...]

    Carpenter builds a lasting memory on Pole Day

    It was both a day for innovation and a throwback at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was a day delayed by a brief shower that finished with as homegrown a product as the Brickyard can produce feeling the sun on his face as a first-time pole winner. And it was [...]
