    I think Maxing Harden would handicap 6ers for years. Is Murray willing to bet on Harden doing a CP level turn around. Seems like a crazy gamble

    His 3P% is higher than his 2P%. Go figure.

    Meanwhile, everyone just craps on Jokic for being benched because he can't guard Curry. All the while, Embiid is lauded as a defensive stud.

    Sixers should still pull it out in the end, but if its gonna be any team that becomes the first in NBA history to lose after going up 3-0, it’s gonna be a Doc Rivers team.

    I think about Harden consuming an over abundance of pasta (grains) prior to big games everytime I see that his game continues to diminish. At least go steak and potatoes.

    Embiid needs to pull a Jokic, and take the game over.

    I'm hoping for a great game or Raptors win to force a game 7, but I worry the basketball gods have a Sixers blow out win tonight to deny NBA Fans.

    From R/NBA to the various talk shows, everyone (including me) have been prematurely jinxing the Raptors and already looking forward to a game 7 all week.

    "Rocket Mode" is now the official NBA TV description of Peak James Harden and what they say Harden needs to do tonight. He needs to play in "Rocket Mode"

    lol, Sixers better win tonight

    can’t trust Doc, Harden, or even Embiid in a game 7

    if Doc were to be the 1st to lose a 3-0 lead, just leave the country…start a new life in Zimbabwe

    Tell-tale sign that Harden is struggling, to me, is when he shoots his free throws and steps over the line while the ball is in the air. The refs usually let him get away with it, but it indicates a general discomfort.

    I haven't watched much of this series. Have people noticed him doing that?
