One source of offense can come out of pick and rolls and attacking the baskets for easy buckets and with the fire-power the Sixers have with Iverson and Iguodala, it should come easy for them.[*]<font color="black">Contain The Perimeter</font> ? The Wizards as a team shot 14-20 from 3-point land at New York with Arenas and Jamison leading it, which kept the Wizards out in front. If the Sixers are able to get their offensive production, they need to force the difficult shots at the other end because the Wizards will beat them by trading baskets.[*]<font color="black">Rebound</font> ? This is one thing that slowed the Bulls down against the Bulls having a -14 ratio on the boards. The Wizards aren't a very good rebounding team, so the Sixers need to take advantage of getting those offensive rebounds and getting second chance points.[*]<font color="blue">Force Turnovers</font> ? In order for the Wizards to control the tempo, they must do what they do well by stealing the ball and getting the fastbreak points on the other end. <font color="blue">Contain Allen Iverson</font> ? With Allen's ability to score from anyway and anyhow, the Wizards need to keep a close eye on him and stop that first penetration to slow him down. Force him to take low-percentage shots and keeping him out of the paint will help the Wizards win this game.[*]<font color="blue">Stay Out of Foul Trouble</font> ? Washington was lucky that the game against the Knicks was over, before they could find themselves in the hole with Arenas gambling with 5 fouls and 3 others with 4 fouls. The Wizards aren't known for fouling, and everybody will need to play cleanly because they can't afford to put key guys on the bench.[/list] <font size="3">Prediction:</font> Wizards over Sixers 103-93 Will's Prediction Record: 7-6 (Wizards over Bulls, 98-92)
