(Coach) Nate (McMillan) talked to me before the game, told me I was starting, I was going to play big minutes, Robinson said. I thought we brought the energy. We were intense defensively. Were just starting to get our chemistry and weve just got to keep going.After losing two of their last three games, the Pacers were in sync, clicking and gelling on the court.Following Indianas practice on Thursday, George gathered the Pacers for a players-only meeting, addressing some of Indianas shortcomings and kinks that needed worked out. Robinson noted that the Pacers needed to gather and discuss some of the problems that have hampered a team that had a lot of preseason hype.For us, we have to establish who we are. We need to establish our identity, McMillan said. Tonight, I thought they set the tone. We cant go back. Weve been up and down. We have to move forward and build off this game, have intensity on both ends of the floor.Rodney Stuckey scored 18 points, and Al Jefferson and Myles Turner each finished with 16 points.After an 11-0 Nets run in the first quarter, Indiana trailed by seven points.

With start of the school year upon us, here are 10 tips for back-to-school sports parenting that will help you and your kids enjoy games and activities together.1. Remember the first rule of sports parenting: Your kid isnt LeBron James. Rec-league and even travel-league play should be about working hard, listening to coaches, being a good teammate and having fun. (Intentional omissions: Winning, personal stat lines.)2. Encourage your kid to play more than one sport. All meaningful evidence shows that even if your kid loves one sport more than any other, kids are still better off playing multiple sports, even at the expense of additional hours in the main sport you hope theyll be using to finance college.3. Find league options that work for you. Access to local teams and leagues is inconsistent and often expensive, but there are a lot of new activities beyond traditional soccer-baseball-football, including disc golf, parkour and, yes, esports. There are a gazillion ways for your kid to participate in an organized team or league or free-form. Your priority should be to encourage kids to do something active.4. Active time should come before screen time. It goes without saying that school work comes first, but if you make activity a physical priority, too, so will your kid.5. Unless youre the coach, youre not the coach.6. If youre not your kids teams volunteer parent coach, ask how you can help the person who is. It doesnt mean you will have to spend hours on the practice field; contributions of time or energy are always welcome, in any increment. (If youre a volunteer parent coach, you have all our thanks.)7. Consider creatting a for-fun fantasy football league for kids and parents to join together.dddddddddddd. It wont be for everyone, but my kid played in a league with his pals as a fourth-grader last year and they seemed to love it, particularly the draft night. Plus, it led to some great conversations as we discussed players and games together. My prerequisite was that a parent was overseeing everything and that all the kids parents were involved enough to monitor their kids use of the laptop or phone to check their rosters and scores.8. Cheer on your local high school team from the rattling bleachers. Dont limit your trips to football. Add in soccer, field hockey or anything else your kid might show an interest in. The high school athletes will really appreciate the support, too.9. If your budget allows, let your kid pick out a new jersey or jersey-style T-shirt. Chances are, your child has grown since last fall, or maybe a favorite player has changed. It can be a fascinating moment in the parent-kid fandom dynamic, and another great conversation starter.10. Heres my best advice of all: Relax. Seriously, your kid isnt earning or losing the scholarship based on performance on a random fall Saturday soccer field overrun with third-graders. Enjoy watching your kid do something loved (and something you love to watch your child do).Dan Shanoff writes about parenting for espnW.
