Familiarity doesnt always breed friendship, and thats something Washington
Wizards stars John Wall and Bradley Beal are hoping to finally smooth over
heading into this season.
Erick Aybar Jersey .Though theyve been paired
together since Beals rookie season of 2012, Wall and Beal admit they havent
exactly found common ground yet.I think a lot of times we have a tendency to
dislike each other on the court. ... Weve got to be able to put that to the
side, Wall, the 2010 No. 1 overall pick, told Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic. If
you miss somebody on one play or dont have something go right ... as long as you
come to each other and talk. If I start arguing with somebody Im cool. Im just
playing basketball.Beal agreed with the root of the pairs problem.Sometimes I
think we both lose sight of the fact that we need each other, Beal told the
network. I wouldnt be in the situation Im in without John. John wouldnt be in
the situation hes in without me, without the rest of the team. It goes
hand-in-hand, so its kind of a pride thing. Weve got to [hash] out our pride,
figure out what our goals are individually, help each other achieve those goals,
figure out what our team goal is, where do we see ourselves five years from now,
10 years from now and go from there.The team goal is to rebound from a 41-41
season that saw the Wizards go from being a team on the rise in the Eastern
Conference to missing out on the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13
season. New Washington coach Scott Brooks will be tasked with getting Wall, 25,
and Beal, 23, on the same page.I think with Coach Brooks coming in, hes going to
hold everybody accountable, starting with me, Wall said. Just make sure
everybody know what their role is. If everybody buys into their role, well be
fine.Part of the problem, according to Beal, might be that he and Wall are so
alike.Its tough because were both alphas, Beal said. Its always tough when you
have two guys who firmly believe in themselves, who will bet on themselves
against anybody else, who want to be that guy. We both can be that guy.With Beal
signing a five-year, $128 million max contract this offseason and Wall in the
middle of an $80 million deal that runs through the 2018 season, the two still
have time to get things on track in D.C.
Rickey Henderson Jersey . Those lessons were
more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and
the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85
victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the
fourth time in five games.
Yangervis Solarte Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my
sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the
yard line the ball would need to be snapped from.

. -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the
Ducks in power football. PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles are going down a road the
Falcons traveled last year.After Philadelphia started 3-0, rookie quarterback
Carson Wentz and first-year coach Doug Pederson were the talk of the town. But
the Eagles have lost four of five, Wentz has been up and down and Pederson has
made several questionable decisions.In 2015, rookie coach Dan Quinn guided
Atlanta to a 5-0 start. But the Falcons went 3-8 the rest of the way and many
wondered whether quarterback Matt Ryans time was up.Ryan stuck around and is
having his best season, helping the Falcons (6-3) lead the NFC South.Wentz and
the Eagles are hoping for a similar and even more immediate turnaround. Theyll
kick off the second half of their season at home against the Falcons on
Sunday.We fully believe were a good football team, Wentz said. We fully know all
four of these losses we had a chance to win, and most of them we kind of hurt
ourselves.Ryan grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs and rooted for Donovan
McNabb, so he understands what Wentz is going through in a city thats been
waiting 56 years for a football championship.There are a lot of good things that
come with (playing quarterback) and a lot of things that are tough to deal with,
Ryan said. It seems like he has a good head on his shoulders up there. I know
its a place that can be tough. Growing up there, they can be tough on their
teams for sure. But if youre winning, just like any place, winning is good.Wentz
has a big fan in Quinn.The first time I saw him was at the Senior Bowl, Quinn
said. He looked like a really good player on the very first day. ... When we
went through the cut-ups, he just looked like somebody that was going to be able
to handle it early on.Here are some things to watch for when Atlanta visits
Philadelphia:GETTING DEFENSIVE: The Eagles have the leagues No. 6 ranked
defense, but theyve got a tough task this week. Atlantas offense is No. 2 in
yards and first in scoring, averaging 33.9 points per game. Ryan leads the NFL
with 2,980 yards passing and 23 touchdowns -- with only four interceptions.
Julio Jones leads the league with 970 yards receiving.I think this is the best
offense that we will face all year, Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox
said.CATCHING FLAK: While tthe Falcons have arguably the best receiver in the
league and a solid group overall, Philadelphias receivers are mediocre at best.
Cory Spangenberg Jersey. Jordan Matthews
leads the Eagles with 42 receptions for 507 yards. Hes not in the top 20 in
either category. Second-year pros Nelson Agholor and Dorial Green-Beckham
struggle to get open and make plays. Rookie Bryce Treggs opened eyes with a
58-yard catch last week, but it was only his first game.SACKS ON THE RISE: After
ranking last in the league with only 19 sacks in 2015, the Falcons already have
20 this season. Vic Beasley Jr., last years first-round draft from Clemson,
leads the team with 7 1-2 sacks. Adrian Clayborn has 4 1-2. Grady Jarrett
initially was credited with two sacks in last weeks win at Tampa Bay, but the
leagues review of the film this week took one sack away.HOMECOOKING: The Eagles
are 3-0 at home, 1-4 on the road. Theyve dominated opponents in Philadelphia,
outscoring them 84-23. Their most impressive win was a convincing 34-3 victory
over the Steelers in Week 3. They also handed Minnesota its first loss in Week
7. But the Falcons are better on the road (4-1) than at home (2-2). Something
has to give.Weve done a good job of approaching it with the right mindset, Ryan
said. It is a business trip. Weve got one objective for when we get up there.
From the moment we started preparation earlier in the week until we finish the
game, everything needs to be geared toward finding a way to win.TAMME OUT:
Falcons TE Jacob Tamme is expected to miss his second straight game with a
shoulder injury. Backup tight ends Levine Toilolo and Austin Hooper had TD
catches against the Buccaneers. A third tight end, Joshua Perkins, dropped a
chance for another scoring catch. Hooper, a third-round pick from Stanford, is
expected to start as he tries to make his case as the teams future fixture at
the position. Hooper has 14 catches for 241 yards and two touchdowns.---AP
