Chasing the Elusive Ring Ever since Larry Brown came to town about a decade ago, the Indiana Pacers have played some of the most consistent basketball in the NBA; they made the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Unfortunately, they lost the first four, three of them in seven games. |

Pacers' Rick Carlisle Got Robbed There are no other ways to explain the ridiculous notion that Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Antoni was the best coach in the NBA this season.
