Game 8: Sixers vs Wizards.........The quest for .500 

Post#1 » by Murray_17 » Mon Oct 31, 2022 3:31 pm

Not going to be around for the game but i started the thread because i'm 2-0 thus far :lol:

Wizards on a back to back too.....

Can we finally become a winning team?
Can Maxey/Embiid/Harden have a good game at the same time?
Can Tobias/PJ coexist?
Can Melton be a starter?
Is our defense really improving?

Who knows :lol:

That means they'll look pretty good defensively. Especially against a weak Wizards team.

Just let Maxey do his thing with the small ball line up.

Wizards have been really strong defensively this year. Hopefully we can limit our turnovers and move the ball well to get open shots.

Stanford's hate of Beal is one of my favorite longterm storylines on here. And he's right. Beal is weird.

It's WILD when you look at Bradley Beal's shooting percentages with Wall versus without Wall.

Feels like this will be the kind of chaotic game that Paul Reed was born for…
