The Philadelphia 76ers will finally begin the 2021 NBA Playoffs on Sunday as the No. 1 seed as they get set to take on the No. 8 seed Washington Wizards. They have been preparing all week, but they did not know an opponent since they had to wait until Thursday for the Wizards to clinch that final playoff spot.
The Sixers swept the Wizards in the regular season and they expect to not have too many issues in this Round 1 matchup, but in another episode of “The Bell Ringer” hosted by Sixers Wire, host Ky Carlin will break all of it down with Austin Krell of The Painted Lines.
The two of them break down how Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid can be most effective against the Wizards and their defense and who the X-Factors are in this series for Philadelphia. Also, how can the Sixers slow down Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal? All of that and more in Friday’s episode.
