    Yep. In what way does booing your team help them get back in the game? I agree the team needs to give the crowd something to cheer for, but the team also feeds off the crowd's energy.

    Those fans paid a good amount of money for those seats. They deserve the right to boo if the product they are getting is subpar. Blaming fans is a cop out for bad play.

    Yep but those are philly fans for u...especially with a young/inexperienced team like philly. Booing does nothing but stunt them

    Pacers don’t have a chance.

    They don’t have a star player that they can play through without oladipo. You just don’t know where the points are going to come from them. Every offensive possession is a struggle.

    Na like another poster said. They was booing like 5 mins into the game lol. How both u cheer defense defense to make them play harder atleast on d..then if they have that energy the offense probably would come around. I dont mind booing but it's a time to do it. Hell u at least have to give them a half man. Teams come out slow

    Pacers are 0-10 FG only 3 points in 9 minutes in the 3rd.:rolleyes: How does a playoff team only score 3 points in 9 minutes?

    If Ben Simmons was a rocket I’d prolly boo him too.

    He cares more about smashing thots than working on his game.

    At least harden finds time to do both.

    On some level I understand this mindset, but I don't think it's a respectable nor a pervasive one, else most other crowd's would adopt it. Philly fans can feel that way if they want to, but it'll continue to earn them the title of "Most Despicable Sports Fans".

    Yea I'm not a Simmons fan...if I was them I would trade him. To me his game takes away from their best player. Put Conley or some comparable point that could shot n they win a championship. I actually think they should blow the team up. Cause after they lose this year philly really starts to look undesirable....bad coach, injury prone best player......one trick pony in Simmons.

    Playing in the east is such a joke.

    Both teams look crappy. Bucks should roll over whoever wins this.

    Indy just doesn’t have the scoring talent...when your best scorer is Bojan Bogdanovic, you’re fcked

    if they had Oladipo, I think they could beat Boston in 6

    Indy has 12 pts this half.

    Put the rest of these games on NBATV. This is embarrassing.

    Simmons should be ashamed of himself coming into the league with a jumper that broke...2 years in and his jumper is still as trash as ever with no signs of it coming around

    it’s honestly embarrassing

    What is embarassing is his attitude not his jumper. He said last summer that this was the first season he was ever taught how to shoot. :rolleyes: Like seriously?
    And he has his brother as shooting coach instead of hiring a shooting expert. :rolleyes:
    Then there are the statements he made yesterday. Instead of realising his deficiency and working hard to fix it he is arrogantly acting like everything is fine.
