Mortal Enemies: Bullets Forever

Star-divide

This game may not be as easy as it first appears. The Sixers took a back-to-back early this year in blowout fashion, but the Wiz are playing slightly better of late. With beat Oklahoma City in a shocker, then played closs games against the Nuggets (4 point loss at home) and the Celtics (6 point loss at home).

John Wall is averaging 25.8 points per game on 43.2% from the field over his last 4 games, averaging 11.25 free throw attempts per game and 8.25 assists per game, probably the best stretch of his career to date.

Since the last time we played the Wizards forward Andray Blatche has returned to the lineup (which may be a positive for the Sixers), and Nick Young is averaging 21.6 points per game over his last 5 games.

The Sixers, meanwhile, will be without both Spencer Hawes (strained left Achilles) and Nikola Vucevic (quad strain). Elton Brand is also a game time decision with gastroenteritis, but I'm being told he will try to play. If not, you would see more of Tony Battie and Lavoy Allen than most (all?) Sixers fans would want.

Even with the injuries, this is a bad Wizards team, which hasn't been competitive in their 6 road games this season (0-6, losing by an average of over 18 points per game). I think the Sixers pull it out, but it'll be closer than many fans want to see.

Prediction: Sixers 97, Wizards 92.

I haven’t watched Wall enough to have an opinion, but I will say that considering Point Guards are much more common than big men, I would have a hard time picking one with the best pick in the draft.

I also have the philosophy of not making redundant picks, that is picking a player when you already have a decent one at that position. Which is why I was against Turner, who has turned out to be a very decent player.

He is our best player

and one of the best defenders in the NBA, as evidenced as he was chosen for the Olympic team based on his defensive prowess. He has a high basketball IQ, great court vision, and he attacks the rim. He matches up against team’s superstars and forces them to take shots they are not comfortable with. He’s not going to get 20/10 every night, so if you only base success in basketball on that, it is no wonder you dislike him. But there is more to basketball that PPG, and most fans of the game know that.

Love this site, both the posts and commentors provide excellent insite. Figured this was as good a time as any to get in on the comments section, haven’t been super dedicated to the sixers recently…really until half way through last year (followed close during the iverson and barkley eras). Was real impressed with the style of play and results leading up to the playoffs and the series against Miami. This year is going great (helps that I bought league pass as i’m “out of market”), really excited about what they’ve got to offer this year, ET, JH, Dre, Brand, Hawes, making for a great team style play. Go Sixers!!! (you’ll be hearing from me more on the non-game posts, though up till now i’m a sabermetric baseball guy, those skills transfer well!) :)
