I'm guessing both Harris and Tucker will miss tonight's game. Hopefully this isn't a trap game after Saturday's great win vs. the Bucks.

No excuses. Must TCB against these bad teams. Gotta make a hard push for a top 2 seed these next 10 games.

Easy loss, I expect Embiid to go 4/15 shooting today, he is already dead tired and will have a stinker.

Weird game. Pacers suck as a team, but they have a lot of guys that can play. So they're an annoying team to go up against.

Can we defend the 3 ? Also hopefully Embiid get Myles Turner in foul trouble hes another stretch big to pull Embiid out the paint.

"Dead tired" Stop! He's a professional athlete. I've seen dudes that are built like Candy Peanut M&Ms run up and down the floor at the gym playing pickup games. Gimme a break with this nonsense.

Embiid has to be the anchor of both our offense and our defense, he doesn't have a Brook Lopez or good defenders with him, he has James Haren and Tyrese Maxey, Harris is also not good defender, Tucker only at times.
Besides, he is a player with a naturally lower stamina, either due to genetics or maybe he just doesn't do enough training or doesn't train properly, hard to know, but it is evident he is tired.

He doesn't train properly, but he's top 3 in the MVP race. That's a good one. Pretty sure his professional trainers know more about conditioning than you do. Bum...The RealGM MD.

Has nothing to do with stamina, it's a fact Embiid gets tired easier than other superstars, he is that good despite having lower stamina, if he didn't get injured in his development years and didn't lose some quickness and explosivenes as a result, he would've been an even better player, we would be talking about Top 3 player all time instead.

A fact? Can you provide some factual evidence? Honestly bro, you don't know what you're talking about.

You only need functional eyes, he doesn't try on defense at times, jogs down the court, hands on knees, etc.

Full court pressure on us is kinda weird; we have Harden, Maxey, and Melton on the court. 3 capable ballhandlers.

Good to see Nwora getting some playing time. He's a scorer.

Maxey is amazing, how can a player that scores with relative ease have a negative RPM? it is a case study for sure.

Again, you know nothing. The game is a marathon, not a race. Boxers do the same thing. They pace themselves.

We'd benefit from letting Harden take over at times.
