Former MVP, what does his past achievements have to do with what he is on this team now?

Harden is not an MVP anymore, who actually thought he was? This is Embiids team, and it's not even a question lol. Harden is the PG and facilitator as I've been saying all season, and he's valuable for that. His scoring needs to improve but he doesn't need to drop 30+ a night anymore that's crazy talk.

Heat game planned for him and with no Embiid they had two guys in his face most of the night, or shading over consistently with a zone defense. Game 1 he saw 12 of his 13 FGa were contested and this one wasn't much different. The Heat are giving him no room to breath and clogging the lane to stop any drives. Great defensive game plan when the sixers are missing the most dominant player in the league.

Maxey is a bonifide star in the making though. Kid is so damn good.


Yea u weren't saying this at all when the trade happened. Again you ridiculed anyone for having a different opinion. Bringing up every stat you could think of to defend him :rofl:. Now you realise hes trash so you changed ur opinion.

This is absolutely the same take I had on him before lmao....

We are disappointed in his scoring, he clearly is not as explosive as he was last year before the hamstring injury. But nobody thought we were getting a 30+ ppg MVP player, at least nobody that watches basketball.

You guys thought he would come and take all the shots and be a ball hog. He has been the complete opposite of that, hasn't even had a single game with the Sixers where he's taken 20 shot attempts but he is averaging 10 assists per game in a 76ers uniform 🤷‍♂️

You did think he would thrive in Philly and make you contenders

Neither of which is true

Absolutely, and has that not happened? Harden showed out in game 6 closing out your Raptors.

Embiid went down and our chances of winning in this second round went out the window.

I really do wonder what this series would have looked like with Embiid in. Like, there actually is no replacement for him in the league, we do not have any 2 way big men superstars left. Jokic is one way mostly, Kat one way, Gobert one way, idk maybe AD can count as a "big man," that would be a 2 way.


This Heat vs Sixers series with just Harden is pathetic. I read something the other day that Harden is willing to restructure his deal & resign for less after this. Thats the biggest take mid series from this.. No fucking shit huh James? LOL Who the fuck paying you 47 Million.

You’re missing the 20 points on 18 possessions counting his ft attempts and shots …

That’s tremendously bad


Now do how many assists he lost off Georges Niang and Danny Green shooting like 1-10 from wide open 3's every game.

but that would be hard considering you didn't even watch the game to see those passes and they don't show up in the box score

Giannis? I guess if you’re talking pure centers then yeah that’s pretty true.
