Yes, Omicron ripped through the roster, and yes, the Cowboys are better, and yes, Dallas is getting healthy at the right time, and yes, short turnaround, and yes, Washington needs a QB. This is still a horrific performance and an indictment of the coaching staff and players. – 10:45 PM

Wizards played hard, had some nice offensive moments, but terrible gameplan discipline defensively. Still, performance was a bit better than the score.
I expected Embiid to dominate, but still concerning how often Gafford seems outclassed. – 10:01 PM

Joel Embiid’s performance was simply dominant tonight. He has 36 points on 12-of-17 shooting, and his versatility on offense made the entire Sixers offense go. With Philly up 110-87 with 4:06 to go, Doc Rivers has taken Embiid out of the game. – 8:23 PM

Double Ts a few possessions ago.
Embiid gets the offensive putback +1, yells to the side of, but not directly at Harrell (trying to trigger a reaction), gets Harrell to push him, Harrell gets T’d up and Embiid yells “Get out!”
That was perfection. – 7:52 PM

Wizards 31, Sixers 25 at the end of the first. Embiid’s hot start (13 points) gave Philly the early lead, but not much happening in the way of offense around him. Washington made 11 of 17 shots in the frame. – 6:40 PM

A few sequences ago, Deni Avdija drove against Joel Embiid and, using his body as a shield against Embiid, scored on a tough layup. The basket is a sign of Avdija’s growing confidence and decisiveness on the offensive end. It’s an accomplishment for any player to score on Embiid. – 6:25 PM
