Game Thread 03/13: Pacers vs. 76ers

Two of the Eastern Conference’s top teams will meet Tuesday night as the Indiana Pacers visit the Philadelphia 76ers for a matchup that has playoff seeding implications.
Indiana (39-28) moved a half-game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday for the third spot in the East with 15 games to go. The 76ers (36-29) are currently sixth in the standings, but just two games behind the Pacers as they welcome Indiana for the rubber match of the season series.
The Pacers enter the game on an impressive defensive streak. They have won five of six, holding each of the losing opponents below 100 points, including Boston, the No. 2 seed in the East, which Indiana defeated 99-97 on Sunday.

I wanna see DC return to the starting lineup and Joseph run more of the lineups out there with Lance.
Also hope that GRIII gets more burn, his on ball defense has been very good in the limited minutes he’s had. He’s a natural guy you’d want out there to close out games imo.

it's harder to do offense/defense with the new time out rules.

Bogie is killing us today. If he's not hitting 3s, he is a bit of a liability. GRIII definitely fits this team.

Now I have an ulcer to go with my Tourettes!
Anyone hear about Domas? With that humongous Embiid falling on his leg like that it could be a broken ankle. Let's hope not.

Bojan's been huge the last couple end of game jump balls though.

The big takeaway here has to be Sabonis injury. If he can’t get back soon Booker and Al Jeff are gonna have to step up. Leaf may also have to get back into the rotation.

Really crossing my fingers. I had a badly sprained ankle at the beginning of last year, and couldn't run on it for 4 months without a lot of pain. Think GRIII had a similar issue. Just depends on how bad it really is, or if the initial shock created a bigger reaction.
