The big story is: The Fever save their season. The secondary story is: Fever fans are getting quite an ugly reputation, warranted or not (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do we have a crowd-control problem at Gainbridge Fieldhouse? Or do some WNBA players – let me pick a name out of a hat…A’ja Wilson – have a hypersensitivity problem?The big news, the ultimately important news, was that the Fever saved their season Tuesday night, knocking off the Las Vegas Aces, 99-89, to tie the first-round series at a game apiece. The two teams will seek to advance to the next round when they play at 9 p.m. Thursday in Vegas.It wasn’t all Caitlin Clark, although a lot of it was
Questions and answers as the Pacers begin training camp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Indiana Pacers open training camp this week, you have questions and I have answers (sort of):How Does Tyrese Haliburton look after missing the entire season with an Achilles surgery and a painful outbreak of the shingles (which, as someone who has dealt with the malady, I can tell you it’s absolutely miserable)?I’m not worried about Haliburton, not in the least. He’s had eight months to recover from the torn Achilles, quite a bit longer than Daniel Jones of the Colts and the Celtics’ Jaso
Dopey Report Card (Colts vs. Texans) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
RUN OFFENSEWhat, you were expecting a productive afternoon in the rushing game? Not against the Houston Texans. Jonathan Taylor, who has run exceedingly well the first two games, couldn’t find any place to go, finishing with 68 yards on 23 carries, a measly 3.0 average with a long run of 11 yards. I thought the most telling run came from Daniel Jones, who showed surprising burst when he scrambled around the edge, lowered his shoulder as he approached the sideline and muscled his way for a short
Despite another Shane Steichen late-game brain cramp, the Colts -- thank you, Spencer Shrader -- finally find a way and break 9-game losing streak (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After nine straight losses, including two to start this season, the Colts retired to their locker room after Sunday’s 19-17 victory over the Houston Texans and let loose. There were primal screams, unfettered joy, the music bouncing off the walls. It’s been a long time, too long, since this franchise actually found a way to win a close football game, and now, they’ve saved their season, at least for the time being.They almost blew it, as they’ve been wont to do in recent times, Shane Steichen ag
Can the high-scoring Fever go on the same kind of post-season run as the Pacers of two years ago? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are so many parallels between the Pacers of two seasons ago and the playoff-bound Fever, it’s eerie.Both teams got off to clunky starts. Both teams were near the bottom of the league in defense, but slowly, almost imperceptibly improved during the course of the regular season. Both teams led, and lead the league in scoring, the Fever establishing themselves as the highest-scoring team in regular-season WNBA history. The same questions were, and are being asked about the two franchises: Can
