a few funny moments involving the Sixers and Bullets over the years

Bullets stopped playing defense against AI because he was gunning to get his 5 consecutive 40 point game during a blowout in his rookie season. CWebb and Juwan were killing them.


and of course this happened in Philly

Russ v Embiid always makes for classics
But Embiid gonna abuse the fukk outta the Wizards bigs :umad:
If yall don't double Jo on every play he's averaging 40 :mjlol:
That’s probably the move. Sixers shooters have killed Bullets specifically Milton and Korkmaz

No one should help off Jo unless Thybulle and Simmons are in the game together

I'm curious to see this game.

Many are dismissive of the wizards because of the assumption they are terrible. I've never seen people so dismissive of a team just because they are the 8th seed. An 8 seed that clawed their way back to the playoff spot after a rough start. They have a former MVP back in form and an almost leading NBA scorer.


Like people don't watch the wizards so don't realize how red hot they are now that they've decided their style of play. Last 23 games they went 17-6 and four of those losses were one possession games at the point end.

Stylistically they are very uptempo. They attack the paint constantly. This is a team that is putting up 130 or 140 with very little threes.. westbrook has a motor, Beal has a motor, gafford has a motor, ish keeps going fast.


Westbrook posts up and is too damn strong for most people 1 through 3. Rui is too Strong in his posts up, Lopez has this hook shot. People keep laughing at the unstoppable notion but with teams become small he's such a large human most bigs cant do anything with him or against him in the post ...

The general game plan also involves attacking key guys. So Embiid will be attacked constantly in the place the wizards like to attack. The paint..

The bodies thrown at him will be big bodies so he can't just physically have his way..or maybe he will, who knows.

Simmons never goes off. He's a consistent 16-20 pts 7-10 rbds and assists.


Im super curious to see how this goes.


Plus Russ hates Embiid. Watching rage on the floor will be epic :russ:

Cmon breh that’s far from factual :why::deadmanny:

Bum struggles to average 15 ppg and doesn’t average double digit boards and assists. Bum gets worse in the playoffs when a reliable jump shot is needed and teams are better.

Let’s not forget that Philly is one of the worst teams defending the fastbreak. Wizards can definitely do some damage in the open court.

Philly in five still

I was giving his general range of where he pops up on his stats.

So you predicting a 4-1 series against a team that's been 17-6 with majority of those losses by one or two points?

Perhaps

My bad breh you know how the Aussie fakkit gets hyped to the moon and back

As for the series, the team is hot but talent always prevails. I don’t believe a team led by two guards can win against a contender but they will give them a fight and it’ll be a tough 4-1 series. It’s not like they’ll be getting that ass stomped every night. Philly came into the playoffs the last few weeks on the downturn. They just so happened to have Orlando and other bums to close out the number one seed.
