Clinging to eighth place in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers have a good opportunity to solidify their position this weekend against two of the East's worst teams.
The trip begins Saturday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, who are trying to avoid matching the worst finish in league history, but the Pacers won't take them lightly considering they're coming off a lopsided home loss to another last-place team.
Pacer players said the right things following Friday's practice but they also sounded like their confidence had been shaken a day after a 114-94 loss to Orlando.
