As annoying as the L was today. I am quite worried this will cause a lack of energy for the players against the Cs tomorrow in a big game. Anyone else feel this way?

    I was disappointed that we didn’t try Springer on Haliburton last night. I know he is offensively challenged, but getting Haliburton off his mark would have offset that.

      Agreed here, he should’ve gotten at least some run when it was clear that Bev wasn’t stopping him, he’s arguably only a little better than Springer offensively. Another set of young legs could’ve done wonders against the Pacers in general last night.

      Why sit Embiid vs Celtics lol? Really can’t be sure that was the plan but who knows? If Embiid was gonna sit one of the games, I think I’d have rather he sat out vs Pacers but maybe the IST is what compelled him to play. Idk anymore lol

        I mean I’m just guessing. We beat them once already. Maybe we sit him and see what happens, and then if we get a close competitive game we have the “we almost beat them even without Embiid” excuse. It’s an old Popavich trick
