Hack-a-Ben

This journey, Ryan and Chip discuss the Sixers Wizards series at length. In the disappointing Memorial Day loss, Joel Embiid went down injured in the first quarter. Other than this, what factors played a role in the Sixers' struggles against this Wizards team? Hack-a-Ben appears to be a strategy that will not go away anytime soon. How will the team combat this? The young guns on the bench, particularly Maxey and Thybulle, have been playing an increased number of minutes and have been performing when given the spotlight. Are they solidified in the rotation for the remainder of the playoffs? We then move onto the Phillies and their inconsistency. The lineup has talent, the rotation should be performing at a higher level, and the bullpen needs to step it up. What can be done to make this team a contender by year's end? Hop on board and enjoy the ride!
