Of all the teams to bow out in the first round of the playoffs, perhaps none have more upside than the Indiana Pacers. The 2017-18 season was a miraculous run for Indy, pushing the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round behind the great play of Victor Oladipo and a strong supporting cast of misfits. Now […]

He was supposed to be a Spur for life. After winning a championship and the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award in 2014, and finishing in the top three in the regular season MVP race last season, Kawhi Leonard was destined for greatness in a San Antonio Spurs jersey. He was the successor to Tim […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid fell on the Indiana Pacers’ Domantas Sabonis’ ankle right under the two-minute mark of their game on Tuesday. The video, as posted by Def Pen Hoops, shows Embiid going up for a rebound but was apparently pushed off by a Pacers player. Embiid eventually lost his balance in the process […]

After getting traded to the Indiana Pacers last summer, Domantas Sabonis was not expected to play a big role with his new team. However, he has continued to show a lot of improvement in his game, resulting in being part of head coach Nate McMillan’s rotation, and even one of their more important players on […]

The Indiana Pacers are rolling, having won eight of the last 10 games including their last four thanks to a new-found chemistry. On this night, more than the box score is necessary to understand the full scope of things. Young Domantas Sabonis claims the Pacers recent roll needs to be attributed to a new-found chemistry […]

After a questionable move this past offseason, it felt like the Indiana Pacers were going to undergo an era of irrelevancy. Known to be one of the best in the business, mainly because of his good stint with the Portland Trail Blazers, president Kevin Pritchard suddenly made an uncharacteristic move last June, as he appeared […]

Indiana Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis won’t be excited to tell his legendary father about at least one play during Monday’s home game against the Boston Celtics. Hall of Famer Arvydas Sabonis is in Hoosier State tonight to watch his son play, but Celtics rookie forward Jayson Tatum ruined the elder Sabonis’ viewing experience by […]

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George wants to live in the now. He doesn’t want to look too far into the future at the expense of losing some of his focus on what’s more urgent, which is helping the Thunder win their first-ever title. Speaking to Marc Spears of The Undefeated, George was asked of […]

Indiana Pacers center Domantas Sabonis had the luxury of learning the ropes of the game from his legendary father, the great Arvydas Sabonis. One thing the elder Sabonis must have forgotten to teach his kid, however, was how to properly execute a high five. A high five is a simple gesture that doesn’t really take […]

On the same day the Indiana Pacers saw Myles Turner return after a long absence due to a concussion, the team seems to be dealing with another injury to another one of their power forwards. That’s rookie big man T.J. Leaf, who unfortunately sprained his ankle during Friday’s 121-110 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. […]

The Indiana Pacers are still making moves, but not quite like what you may have expected. This one, in particular, seems to be a decision made for stability purposes for the future. Friday was a good day to pick up the fourth-year option for center Myles Turner and also the third year option for second-year forward […]

The Indiana Pacers have traded Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder, per ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.

The Stache Bros are back with their own rendition of fashion week, encouraging some of their Oklahoma City Thunder teammates to compare their outfits to Most Valuable Player candidate Russell Westbrook. First is rookie forward Domantas Sabonis in one-strapped overalls, as Enes Kanter said: “You look like a farmer, bro. I’m not gonna lie.” Next is […]

It’s more complicated than this, but in a way, the Thunder picked Serge Ibaka over James Harden back in 2012. At the time, not everyone could blame them for it. Who had more unknown potential, room to thrive in OKC’s system and more unique skills? You could make the case back then that Ibaka was […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have finished their games overseas and are now headed back to the United States. The travel back will be the real start to the Thunder’s preseason and it will be an important preseason for the new-look squad. The Thunder are still trying to get all the pieces on their team clicking. […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder lost their first preseason game 142-137 in a wild overtime shootout on Monday against Real Madrid of the Liga ACB of Spain.

This offseason, the Oklahoma City Thunder were able to acquire Domantas Sabonis from the Orlando Magic. Sabonis came over to the Thunder in a deal that was not even focused around him.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to give their “Stache Brothers” Steven Adams and Enes Kanter heavy runs this season, due to the departure of a couple of major rotation guys.

Should the Orlando Magic management get the benefit of the doubt? Looking at the recent trade that sent Serge Ibaka to the Magic for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rookie Domantas Sabonis, it seemed like a move that was made randomly rather than for improvement. Orlando has had an interesting off-season so far, starting with […]

One of the few but surprising trades that happened this week was when the Thunder sent Serge Ibaka in a swap for three Orlando Magic players Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, and rookie Domantas Sabonis, on Thursday. The Thunder had just come off of a long run in the playoffs, and almost eliminating the Warriors, but blew […]

On 2016 Draft day, the Oklahoma City Thunder have made a blockbuster move with the Orlando Magic in an attempt to keep free agent forward Kevin Durant.
