Pacers face the sixers for the 2nd time in 3 days. Went to OT at BLF without some of the Sixer star power playing. They face an improved Sixer team from Wednesday night. Can the Pacers step up their game?

Hope so. You got to wonder when the Sixers get their first win. They've played some teams fairly close, even going down to the wire with Cleveland. The Suns go there in about a week, and it's always scary in hoping your team doesn't overlook them (despite the Suns not projected to be much better).

CJ starting. I'm excited to see what happens.

Catching this on XM radio on the way home. Same mistakes it sounds like. Bad fouls, butterfingers on rebounds, etc

Both teams were sleepwalking until basically to the very end.

What happens is the same old woes in a different time schedule.

Good thing that the next time the Pacers play in Philly is the second to last game of the season, so they will have plenty of time to get to know eachother better. Unless Embiid starts to get to know his teammates better as well of course.

There was some horrible luck in this one. The team chemistry also looks really bad with this team. We have the talent to win individual matchup but just can't put it together. Players are making the wrong assumptions about coverages on defense, taking the wrong things for granted, and not doing enough taking upon themselves to lead by example. Paul is clearly exasperated on defense, and I have to wonder if there's a better way for him to lead on the court.
