As the 2023 NBA trade deadline on February 9 gets closer and closer, the Indiana Pacers have some serious decisions to make. The team currently sits in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, tied in the loss column with the 10th-place Washington Wizards and 11th-place Chicago Bulls. That means the team is a bad weekend […]

At their best, the Indiana Pacers were among the best in the Eastern Conference. Early in January, they had a 23-18 win-loss record. That was ninth best in the league and sixth best in the East. Since then, however, they have gone 1-8, and have sunk to ninth place in the conference. Should they plug […]

With the 2023 NBA trade deadline just a few days away (February 9), the New York Knicks sit in seventh place in the East at 25-23. The team needs to make some moves and have some things break their way to put together a team that can get into the playoffs (not just the play-in) […]

The Los Angeles Clippers were hoping to emerge as a serious title contender in the 2022-23 season, but so far, that simply has not happened.

The Indiana Pacers have arrived earlier than expected. Acquiring Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis was quite the masterstroke that expedited their contending timeline. However, Haliburton’s knee and elbow injuries threaten to derail Indiana’s surprising 2022-23 campaign, which complicates their trade deadline plans even further. It’s no secret that the Pacers have tried to […]

Led by star guard Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers have surprised a lot of folks this season.

The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to turn their season around after a horrid start to their campaign. They have been winning more frequently as of late, but even after their wild win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night, they still have just a 13-16 record, which is good for 12th place in the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be stuck in the middle early on in the 2022-23 season. They have enough talent on their roster where they won’t be the worst team in the league, but they don’t have the right pieces that will allow them to make a true championship run. In order for things […]

After winning a grand total of 25 games for the entirety of last season, no one expected the Indiana Pacers to be any good entering the 2022-23 season. However, the Pacers have already won more than half of the games they did last year, with 15 in only 29 games, thanks in no small part […]

The Indiana Pacers are 12-8 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference a quarter of the way through the NBA season. Part of this run is based on the fact that 26-year-old center Myles Turner is in the midst of a career year through 20 games. That’s all great, and many fans might say […]

The Los Angeles Lakers might be playing better now, but that doesn’t mean that potential trades are out of the question now.

The Los Angeles Lakers are only a month into the 2022-23 NBA season, but their playoff hopes are already slipping away.
