CAMDEN, N.J. — The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a surprisingly poor start to the 2022-23 season. They dropped their first two games to legitimate title contenders, the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks. But falling to the San Antonio Spurs and falling to 0-3 set off alarms.
As the Sixers look to right the ship and finally get in the win column on Monday when they take on the Indiana Pacers, veteran PJ Tucker wants the Sixers to begin doing the little things in order to win games.
“Just as a team, me included, everybody just coming together, playing hard, being on the same page,” said Tucker. “A lot of small things happening throughout the games, little nuances that we’re understanding. It’s stuff that we just got to get better at and it’s not that we don’t do it or have a rough time doing it. It’s just consistently doing it enough to be able to win games.”
After falling to the Spurs, Tucker had a message to the team that wins will not just be given to them.
“Just get everybody on the same page,” he added. “We got a lot of new guys. Just integrate into the system and system changes, and it’s just stuff we just gotta get better at communicating and being on the same page.”
The Sixers will host the Pacers at 7 p.m. EDT on Monday looking to avoid a dreadful 0-4 start.
