Hunter's Hot Takes: A winning weekend for Indy

1 month ago | shelbynews.com | Hunter Skillman

This was the kind of week that reaffirms your belief in Indiana sports. It started with the Colts doing something they haven't always done during draft season - getting exactly who I wanted. I regularly remind myself there is a reason I do not have Chris Ballard's job, but I like to at least think I'm pretty good with this stuff. Most of the time though, Ballard and I have a different position or player at the top of our minds, and I'll have an oh, really moment when the pick comes in.

Hey again everyone, I ended up leaving town at the end of last week, so I haven’t been able to get around to the column I promised until today. To me, the Indiana Pacers have demonstrated significant potential to contend for the NBA Championship again this season, building upon their Eastern Conference Finals appearance last year. In the end, I ultimately believe their recent performances and statistical achievements underscore their readiness for another deep playoff run.
