About

Eight Points, Nine Seconds was launched in July 2009 as the ESPN TrueHoop Network blog devoted to the Indiana Pacers universe. We report today’s news, analyze yesterday’s games and discuss the future of the franchise while also reserving time to revel in yesteryear’s ABA titles, remember Market Square memories and relive Conseco celebrations.

If it has to do with the Pacers, we talk about it here.

The site is edited by Jared Wade and features frequent contributions from Tim Donahue.

JaredWadeJared Wade writes about the NBA at Both Teams Played Hard and Hardwood Paroxysm. He is also editor of Risk Management magazine and runs the Risk Management Monitor. He lives in Queens, New York, and when he’s not busy being disappointed by the Pacers, he enjoys being disappointed by his beloved St. John’s University Red Storm, which after having a two-seed the year before he enrolled has only made March Madness once ever since — and failed to win even a single tournament game. Reggie, Jalen, Dwyane Wade (no relation), Paul Pierce, Dominique, Barkley, CP3, Mark Jackson, Larry Legend and the Rifleman are his ten favorite players of all time.
