Troy Brown and Thomas Bryant are looking great and the Wizards are up 62-58.

This Sixers team just isn't very good. They won't get past the 2nd round in the playoffs, if they get that far.

Bryant has been playing some of the best D I've ever seen from him.

The team went to pieces as soon as Bryant and Brown came out.

Impressed with Bryant. But can he play like this consistently? Also very pleased with TBJr and Robinson. Hopefully, this level of play leads into next season. Is anyone concerned about Wall coming back and dominating the ball?

I was impressed with the effort, especially from Bryant. Not sure Robinson is the best bet to back up Beal next season. But he's just 22. He's starting to come into his own, but in the later stages of games, he usually disappears.

Wall is going to be Wall. I don't see him changing his game much at 30, other than the fact he knows he might not be the "man" anymore with Beal around. If his jumper is improved, he can play off the ball more and let Brad or Ish handle it some. I could see some three-guard options. We need Troy and Rui to get a lot better on both ends of the floor. But I think Wall will love playing with Bertans, assuming he re-signs. They will be a fun team to watch, but we need more pieces and another big.

Funny thing is that we actually fell a percentage point behind Charlotte, but I guess it doesn't really matter when the Lottery goes. We'll be probably picking 9th or 10th, which is better than 15th or 16th. Maybe higher if we get lucky.

Can’t be mad at the effort. Nice game again from TB. He’s defense has been much better the last few games.

I heart Troy Brown Jr.

yup, can't trust that team in the postseason

MIL, TOR, MIA, BOS, IND... all better

Wall won't be ball dominant. He's been talking about letting Beal handle the rock more ever since he got injured and saw Beal flourish. TBJ should be on the 2nd unit next year though. We don't need his play making with Wall and Beal but he would be perfect as the playmaker on the 2nd unit

That's about when I tuned into the game, and the Wiz used Wagner and AP together - I guess to counter Philly's size - but it didn't work well, to say the least. Nice to see from Bryant - 4 blocks and 2 steals - hopefully something to build on for him. Rough game for Rui.

Ball dominant or not, this team desperately needs Wall and his ability to set up teammates for easy baskets with his passing. That's something that neither Ish nor Shabazz are very good at.

Robinson has played well. He's found various ways to score, including going to the basket and getting to the line.
