Sixers podcast: Wizards first-round matchup | Playoff predictions

On The Sixer Sense Podcast, we bring plenty of analysis and opinions to the discussion about the first round matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Washington Wizards. We kick things off with some regular season stats that lead to our postseason matchup preview.

Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline reveal the numbers behind the three victories that the Sixers earned against the Wizards during the regular season. We use the individual stats to assess the possible outcomes of a series in which the 76ers are heavy favorites. The scoring outbursts of Bradley Beal and all-around play of Russell Westbrook are analyzed as we attempt to predict how the Sixers will establish a defensive strategy.

We go into matchups with a compare and contrast session, looking specifically at starting lineups, benches, and coaching. Based on records and rankings, the easy assumption is that Philly will dominate this series, but we pick apart every aspect of this matchup.

The Sixers have an easy road to the conference finals, but can they execute? And who wins it all?

We finish up the podcast by offering our entire playoff series predictions. We give our winners of each round and make predictions on who will ultimately be the NBA champion from this season. One of us chose the Sixers, so listen to find out who picked the home team!
