    I'm sure you'll get one game where everything clicks for Washington but otherwise Philly is just the deeper and better team.

    Could be. He plays like he's not injury prone.

    If somehow the wizards would up set the philly, just because you think they could. They have no chance lol.

    Of all 8 matchups in the playoffs, this is the easiest to call a sweep.

    Philly can throw Simmons and Thybulle at Beal. Embiid and Dwight can challenge the range-limited Westbrook. Aside from those two, the Wizards have no offense.

    On the other side, no one on the Wizards can stop Embiid. Meanwhile, Harris, Green and Curry can all have a great offensive game.

    If Philly doesn't sweep Washington with both rosters being healthy, that's just bad.

    Wizards are ROLLING after that slow start. If Beal can stay on the court then this could be a closer series than many thought.

    Merely box score watching, but man. If Embiid gets into foul trouble, is Harris really the only dude that can get buckets?

    Maybe I was wrong. This series might not be as one-sided as I thought.

    Philly has that same stink to them that clippers do. They know their trash fans will turn on them as soon as things go bad. Theres too much pressure on them
