Embiid just looks awkward running. It doesn't make me feel comfortable.

Domas has a nice line himself. Will be cheering extra for those 2.

I’m guessing he slowed as he usually does.

I don't know that any defense is being played across the NBA this year. 82-90 at the end of the 3rd in DC

Yea I didn't realize that Pacers score was 3 quarters. Both teams shooting over 50 percent, and D Lo having a game too.

Classic. Last year he had like 10 games where he had 18-20pts at the break just to end up finishing with 22 :lol:

Philly is legitimately looking good.

50% from 3 has them outperforming how well they've played. Also, Washington forgot that Simmons can't shoot.

I love Dre, but I'd pay his airfare.

Also really like Kelly oubre... Who I wanted before we drafted cam...

Domas :D


I’m rooting for him and Vic but if they become really good, it’s going to suck.

Nah, there's not a soul who wouldn't have made the trade. I want them to do well. Plus the Pacers are my east team.

Not so ironically, he finished with 22 points after a 19 point first half.

Wasn't SUPER impressed with Philly, but they looked good. Assuming Washington didn't just have a poor game, this is definitely the turnaround year for the 76ers. Biggest reason for optimism is that they looked like okay NBA team even without Joel on the court.

Hey guys, Pacers fan here.

I was hoping to get ya'lls take on Sabonis? I am freaking loving everything I've seen from him so far since he joined the Pacers. I know its a small sample size, but thats one reason I wanted to ask ya'll what you think of him.

Was he mostly shooting jumpers last year? I can't believe he was at 40% for the year. He has been very physical for us throughout the preseason and tonight.

Stood at the three point line mostly. Clearly wasn't strong enough for the NBA game, but everybody here saw enough flashes to really like him and feel optimistic about his future.
