The putrid state of Indiana. Home to Mike Pence. Home to the historically largest number of Ku Klux Klan members. Home to the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons who threw a championship game and then moved to Michigan. This hideous state is also home to the most dynamic offensive team in the Association: The Indiana “Pacers”. This is the Greatest Show on Hardwood. This is the Showtown Pacers. This is basketball pinball.
The “Pacers” beat the vaunted, regal Boston Beans 122-112 in a “Fieldhouse”, one that seats 18,000 and was 93% capacity tonight, a Monday night. Indiana is 11-8, which is better than the 45’s in the 305. I’m rooting for this breakout team from a broken state.
