Game Thread 03/10: Pacers vs. 76ers

The Pacers will play their most important game yet this season on Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia. The game will air nationally on ABC, and rightly so, as this contest will have major ramifications on the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Indiana will enter the showdown at 42-24, a game ahead of the 76ers (41-25) for third place in the East.
The winner of Sunday's contest will in all likelihood secure the head-to-head tiebreaker over the other. The Sixers have a 2-1 lead in the season series and will definitely have the tiebreaker if they win on Sunday. If the Pacers win and force a split in the season series, the next tiebreaker is conference record. Indiana is currently 29-14 against Eastern Conference opponents, two games better than Philadelphia (23-16) in the loss column.

Sabonis? Embiid? Who will play?

Both listed as questionable. Haven't seen anything definitive on either yet.

Holiday looked good while he was in there in the 1st half. I wish Nate would play him more.

I had to leave my house at halftime and didn’t have signal where I was. Looks like the 2nd half didn’t go well?!

we have two games left again Boston. if we win them both, we'll have a shot at 4. if not, I'd almost rather be 6 than 5.

While Embiid scored about the same number of points as we did down the stretch, the problem was not that he scored too much but that we scored too little. I agree with Vorda. I think we panicked a little when we got behind and that wouldn't have happened had we hit our free throws.
I suppose there is an argument that Embiid intimidated our bigs, or that Sabonis was rusty, or that Young used up his legs on defense, but you aren't going to win a lot of games missing free throws and layups.

You'd rather play Philly than Boston? Philly is the better team and just has our number (mainly because our bigs are basically neutralized against Embiid).

Eh I'm not sure we should be looking past the first round. We have a chance of beating Boston but not Philly imo.
