The Sixers might have a 2-0 stranglehold on their series with the Washington Wizards, but they couldn't care right now.
The top seed in the East was completely dominant in Game 2 on Wednesday in Philly but as far as Doc Rivers is concerned, this first-round matchup might as well be tied.
Doc Rivers says the @sixers aren't celebrating anything up 2-0:
"We’ve accomplished nothing, as far as we’re concerned."

That's the perfect attitude to have, to be honest. As the Sixers eye a run to the NBA Finals, they can't be taking anything for granted. After all, DC does have two superstars in Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook, although the latter left Game 2 with an ankle injury.

The Sixers have been impressive already, with their star trio of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Tobias Harris all showing out. Embiid and Simmons both had 22 on Wednesday, while Harris erupted for 37 points in the series opener.
With solid shooters around them as well in Seth Curry and Danny Green, the Sixers do have the full package. Their defense has also been stellar, limiting Washington's duo very nicely.
Philly is a legit team with a clear MVP candidate in Embiid leading the way. A series sweep definitely looks to be in the cards at this point, but the Sixers are strictly focused on the task at hand: winning Game 4 in the nation's capital on Saturday night. Anything past that doesn't matter.
