Watching the Houston game and jeez Harden gets a lot of soft calls going to the basket. Wish Ben got half the calls Harden gets.

Massive game vs the pacers. Saric is questionable with gastro
Pretty disappointing effort so far. No one looks like they want to be out there.

I don't know what to make of this game so far. Disinterested at times, allow 14-0 run early.
Then seemed to have the momentum to level in the 3rd, before Pacers go on a 9-0.
It's there for the taking but I'm just not sure we will.

The turn overs just kill us game after game. Down by 7 and have 18 turn overs already.

One of those games where we just can't get a lead. They always find a way to get a couple of baskets to get in front.

At least we fought to the last second.
Turn overs are really frustrating though. If we could even cut them down to 14 or 15 per game we would've won more games.
Hopefully that comes with experience. Hopefully.

More comfortable that the Achilles Heel of the team is turnovers, that I would be if it were anything else, that's a team progression fix. At the same time, Dipo and Bojan went 5-32, an outlier performance. Pacers are a better team, to the point where you wouldn't want them in the first round.
It's now or never for Fultz too, and his shot looks good enough where I'd probably be more concerned if they didn't play him. With the tanking schedule ahead, it's a pretty perfect time to integrate him back.

Crap start.
Quality middle quarters, really impressed by the shooting and movement. Pacers were off their game also.
But again, turnovers and poor decisions cost us. Indiana are the better team no doubt, but we don't give ourselves a chance much of the time.
Why shoot quick 3's in the fourth so often? Why shoot for 3 to tie the game with ~25 sec left off one foot, and then take a 2pt dunk from Embiid next play anyway? In the end we were lucky to still have a chance to tie it up and they defended it well. But doesn't make sense.
Wizards lose also so they stay close but I would fear Pacers the most out of the clump of teams from 3rd to 8th.

We are top 8 in 3 of the 4 offensive factors:
8th Effective FG%
3rd OREB %
8th FT/FGA %
This gives me some positivity about the long term future of our offence.. however we are last in the league in TO%.. a young team with 2 non shooting PGs running the team can lead to more TOS as they try to force things.. If we can clean this up we will be fine but don’t know about our chances of winning a series this year

Bucks lose to Magic.
Celtics (without a number of players) and Wizards are down to double OT - c'mon Boston!

C's lose.
Now 2.5 back on 4th, 1.5 back on 5th.

Horrible first half.
Any chance of defending?

If we keep playing D like this we aren't going to win this game.
Got it done in the end. Didn't play well until late, but we survived the Trey Burke AND the Beasley tandem hot game which is pretty sweet.

Glad we won but not a very well defended game apart from the 4th.

Good come from behind win. Need to back it up now - home for Nets, Hornets and Grizzlies, then away @ Magic. Must win all 4.

Brooklyn really are trying hard to get Joel ejected. Should be playing soccer with all this acting.
Pretty pathetic tactics from Acy and Cunningham to try and get Embiid thrown out.
Wow. The Nets flopping is ridiculous. It's obviously a planned tactic to get Jojo evicted on his Bday. Scum.

76ers really do a disservice to Ben simmons assists numbers. I’ve never seen a team miss so many wide open shots, not just this game but the whole season.

Absolutely. He gets them so many wide open shots. Then they hit the ridiculous contested shots. Lol.
