Frank Vogel — patient architect of the Pacers’ rise whose players couldn’t handle pressure last season, or young, in-over-his-head coach who should have been able to guide his roster through the past season with a steadier hand? That’s not an easy question to answer. How the Pacers perform in the coming season could very well prove to be decisive for Vogel’s coaching career, for better or worse. The roster Larry Bird gives him should factor into subsequent assessments of his coaching acumen, 12 months from now.

Larry Bird suggests the Pacers are moving on from Frank Vogel… but we’ll see

If the Indiana Pacers were a relationship conversation, it’d be the ole lukewarm, “I don’t really like you that much anymore, but I haven’t yet figured out quite how to tell you.” I have no knowledge of Larry Bird and Frank Vogel’s texting habits, but on the outside, it feels like Frank is in the zone […]

I was one of them, I’ll admit. You probably were, too. If you weren’t, congrats, but understand that you are rare. When the Indiana Pacers selected Myles Turner in the 2015 NBA Draft, if you were like most of us, you scoffed. If you were a Pacers fan, you face-palmed. If you were me, you […]

The fist pump from Myles Turner as the clock ran to triple-zeros said it all. Finally, in a close game, the Indiana Pacers decided it was in their best interest to close it out, against the team with the third-best record in the league, no less: 101-98 over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Indiana Pacers started 0-3 and even though this isn’t the NFL where 0-3 means you pack your bags and start guarding against injury … it’s not a good look. The first four games of the season, Paul George didn’t hit 20 points. Monta Ellis looked like the guy who wears uncomfortable clothes just because […]

When Myles Turner was coming out of high school, many had him projected to be an excellent college player that would eventually turn into a very high NBA draft pick.
