The Sixers are way more talented than the Wizards, but their poor shooting allows the Wizards' zone defense to be somewhat effective. We actually match up pretty well.

That said, I'm sure the Sixers are looking for a little payback after we beat them last time. I'm not expecting a win.

Plz beat us by 20 plus so we can rid ourselves of Brett Brown! Outside of the kid in Minnesota he might be the worst coach in the NBA.

Horrible adjustment coach.

Horford looks injured. Simmons can’t shoot, is a turnover machine, terrible in half court. Tobias Harris contract might end up being worse than John Walls. Brown is a solid coach but past his expiration date with this group.

Embiid is a top 5 player, best defensive player in league and brilliant in the post. I bet he wants out of Philly after season.

They've lost two straight at home. No way they lose their third game in a row. Plus this is a revenge game for the Sixers.

Put the house up betting on a Wizards loss. **Of course I don't own a home, so we're talking about your place.)**

Mahinmi in. That's good. He's in for Brown. That's bad. Brown is the only guy on the team that seems to be able to get a rebound.

Brown is such a good rebounder for his position. He's gotta play more. It's funny how the Wizards should be in a youth movement but they still got veterans (Taking minutes) trying to get their next contract.

We gotta be like Miami. There are treasures amongst the undrafted and G-League. They also quickly eliminate any distractions (an aging Waiters).

Beal has to stop shooting the three ball early. He's at his best when he attacks first and then the shots come

Ish Smith goes from 9-for-9 to 0-7 and 0-2 from the line.

Bertans looks like he's trying to lower the cost on his next contract.

Prior to yesterday's game, his 3P% on the season was an inhuman 46.2%.

He has missed 17 of his last 19 attempts, bringing his percentage down to 43.3%

Not watching but i am taping the game. I just looked at the box score.

Did Mahinmi really attempt 3 shots from 3 or is that a typo?

Now Bertans is hurt. Pulled quad. Should be a five-gamer.

With Bertans out, who is the 2nd best player on the team? Ish Smith? Ian Mahinmi?

A game to be proud of. 0 turnovers with plenty of good stealers and double teams. Even with that, they are getting blown out.

Brown is pretty damn strong on some of these drives. It's not just the strength, he's also bringing the fakes today. If the Wizards were a full youth movement, he would be getting more burn.
