Sports Talk with Brodes: Sixers Get Blown Out in Indiana…
The Philadelphia Sixers get blown out by the Indiana Pacers to lose their third straight. Joel Embiid did not play due to a sore left knee and to me that means load management. Al Horford continues to struggle insanely as he is now -51 in the last two games and one of those games was a one-point finish. There really are no positives in this game at all as the team got outworked, did not defend, and could not score. Ben Simmons had 18 points, but six turnovers. Josh Richardson had 20, but who cares? My biggest criticism on Brett Brown in this game was not keeping Kyle O'Quinn in the game when he started and created energy. The Sixers were outscored 38 to 16 in the second quarter and that was pretty much the ball game. TJ McConnell recorded a double double against his former squad.
