Wow, Simmons is stronger than he looks. Took the full brunt of a collision with Domas and he barely moved

Good Grief !

Embid doesn't play tonight. Pacers had the game up 13 points going into the 4th THEN
get outscored by 22 points (76er go on a 31-6 run) in the 4th. :banghead:

It's a lesson for them. Nothing is to be taken for granted in the NBA. The 76ers weren't just going to roll over and play dead just because they were down. If Pacers wanted the win, they should have closed them out

They didn't play with any sense of urgency in the 4th when the 76ers made their run, like they were expecting the 76ers to just give up

Bjorkgren too deserved the L. Brogdon looked visibly gassed in the 4th quarter. Doug got into foul trouble early. Instead of calling upon the rest of the bench, he put Brogdon back in

This should be a wake up call to Bjorkgren that he needs to develop the roster. Playing a tight 8 man roster (Goga only played a paltry 5 mins, even though he wasn't even playing badly) is not sustainable. His over reliance on the team's workhorses (Domas, Brogdon, Justin) is going to be detrimental in the long run. Domas and Brogdon are #2 and #3 in the league in mpg, for crying out loud

Frankly, I almost feel the team deserved the L

100%

I dont understand why he doesnt want to play goga and Sumner more.
I also think lamb was better off the bench, he is too passive in the starting lineup.

The end of the game was really painfull to watch.
Domas really needs to work on his shooting, he is not tall and strong enough to bang in the paint all night long. He Can barely play at the end of games.

We have not been playing well lately with disappointing losses against Toronto (without siakam and Lowry), Sacramento, Charlotte and especially today.

No other word to describe this 4th quarter besides embarrassing.
