“Our defense was trash,” Thaddeus Young said after the Indiana Pacers humbling loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but it wasn’t just their defense that deserves a spot in a landfill (after proper recycling, you savages.)
Indiana’s offense put up their 5th worst shooting night of the season as Darren Collison, Victor Oladipo and Bojan Bogdanovic combined to go 12 of 41 (29.3%) from the field. Indiana’s starters struggled to contain the 76ers offense while failing to get anything going on their own — save for Thaddeus Young.
Tonight could have been a statement for the Pacers, but now they not only have to deal with a shot at their ego, they now need to win these two teams’ next meeting to split the season series.
