In the latest episode of The Final Word, Raj and his dad discussed the Pacers’ thrilling, close game against the 76ers, during which the Pacers ultimately lost 143 to 147. Raj’s dad pointed out that the Pacers made a few mistakes which caught up to them, particularly because of the 76ers’ frequent trips to the free throw line and James Harden’s effectiveness as a point guard. Tyrese, when asked what the major factor in the game was, credited James Harden and the three centers who did a decent job against him. At the end of the conversation, Raj reminded viewers to like, share, and subscribe to The Final Word and to hit the bell icon if they were watching on YouTube.
The conversation delves into the recent game between the Pacers and the 76ers, with both teams playing evenly matched throughout the game. Although the Pacers had good defensive pressure, they occasionally struggled to secure loose balls. Joel Embiid, an All-Star and one of the top players in the league, had his 11th 40-point game of the year, with the referees potentially giving him some help due to his physical dominance on the court.
The Pacers are a team that plays up and down to the level of their competition, relying on team play rather than any one overpowering player. Tyrese Halburton is highlighted as one of the top clutch players in the league, making the right passes and shots when it matters most. The conversation also touches on the controversial call between Joel Embiid and Myles Turner towards the end of the game.
Overall, The Final Word Pacers Podcast provides a thorough breakdown of the game and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. Listeners are encouraged to like, share, and subscribe to the podcast for more insightful analysis of the Pacers and their opponents.
