Nice start so far. Embiid is a monster though. We have no answer for him... other than Beal hitting all of his 3-point attempts, that is.

What team am I watching? Wizards up 13!

Other than the ridiculously high amount of turnovers, the Wizards are playing very smart. Defensively, they are laying off the non-shooters and packing the paint against their post players. And on offense, they're doing a nice job of exploiting switches. TJ McConnell can't guard anybody off a switch.

If they stop making stupid turnovers they'd be up by 30. Philly playing like they are hungover or just don't care tonight.

If Otto Porter comes off the bench, he will continue to play too few minutes. He needs to play 38 minutes at least.

Thomas Bryant is just killing them on the glass and around the basket. The lineup of Sato-Beal-Ariza-Otto-Bryant could simply not be scored on. Dynamite lineup

This is looking like the normal Otto. Superstar impact on both ends. What a monster

That wasn’t me. I was very optimistic about him. I said that about Austin Rivers many times.

When everyone was bashing him,i was the only 1 saying once wall gone you will see a new Otto. Wall was holding him back same with morris.

Bizarre two games. Totally opposite performances each night. I’d like to credit Brooks for some genius adjustments; maybe we are guarding 3 point line better. Or maybe Sixers just missing.

I would love to see Otto take 20 to 25 shots some point this season. His upside is really high.

Beal looks so disinterested. Playing like he’s too cool now that they have a lead.

If otto start driving he's going to be a tough matchup for anyone.

Unleash him. I just witnessed Otto Porter call an ISO for himself.

It’s not even close. Otto Porter is the best player on the wizards by far
