Can we get Deandre to do that more often? His defensive rotations, picks and the turnovers are all very low basketball IQ. Milsap at least knows how to play.

Doc doing his best to ward off an explosive Pacers team that was only down 27

Fouled from behind, kicked in the face, nothing called. Tisse with a tough horoscope day today.

its kinda hillarious that Harden has been a Ben who takes 3s with worse defense lately. Godtier passing but you worry about the scoring impact.

we can't escape it huh

Nice little game by Shake, playing some D and attacking in that spurt at the end.

Jordan with a tasty -11 in 9 minutes of play, impressive in a bad way.

And yep, our defense is not good at all, including crappy defensive rebounding.

They won but BFD (Big .... Deal). Something is not right with this team. Hard to believe they could play well enough to beat Milwaukee, Boston, or Miami four times in seven games. They should have walked all over this trash and instead another 40 minute game for Harden. Crushed on the boards again as well which is amazing as the Pacers were tiny although noted 6'4 board miester Buddy Hield we are lucky to only hold him to 11 caroms lol.

Shake looked good tonight. I'll die on the Milton hill because I've got his back until the end. Joel is the MVP, league needs to stop playing. Tyrese...what more does he have to do??? The kid is amazing!
I guess Harden is transitioning into a point guard as his career dwindles down. It's fine I guess, but he's going to need to score. My question is who's the closer on this team? It can't be Embiid, Tyrese is too polite, Tobias doesn't want it, and Harden is uninterested in it as well. That leaves Shake. Problem solved...Easy fix.

Unless we get Chicago or Cleveland this team is going out in the first round . Harden looks cooked .

I feel your anger, but this was one of those cruise control games. I feel like a lot of us (myself included) are guilty of only watching US play basketball. Every team in the league does this dude.

Team hits a franchise record of threes, Embiid dominates, Maxey drops 30, Tobias had 24, Harden gets a double double and you can only complain. You're ridiculous!

Listen, the Sixers quit playing after getting the big lead and seemed to expect a tanking Pacer team to do the same, and they didn't cooperate. Ridiculous that the lead shrunk to 4, but the Jordan ejection seemed to wake the Sixers up.

Brilliant game from Maxey (although Kate's shrieking half makes me wish he'd miss) and Embiid was toying with the Pacers all night.

Matisse Thybulle is not a guy I want on the court, he is such a negative offensively it negates what he does on the defensive end. The Pacers didn't even try to close out on him from 3 and he still threw up a brick. He's literally become Simmons without the ability to run the break.

Finally, I know the game has gotten soft, but a flagrant 2 on that Jordan foul? Borderline flagrant 1 at most. I think Glenn was most upset at having to alter his precious rotation and bring back Embiid early. Best thing to happen to the Sixers all night.

Another 40-minute night for Harden. Nice work, Glenn.

Extremely dislike the number of minutes played by Jo and James tonight.

Basically where I'm at. I'm excited about Tyrese Maxey next year.

But we're not making out of the 2nd if James Harden can't jump over a quarter.

If we get Toronto we are going out in round one
