    I like that he instantly darts to the basket when Harden got him the ball. No hesitation, no stop and pop, just straight attack mode.

    yeah his style is definitely conservative. Maybe he doesn't want to force things to aggrevate the hammy, but I miss the monster first step Harden used to have, now he kinda runs into the first defender.

    But his passing and vision is huge for that team.

    I actually think he will look better next season. after a full off season

    all those Harden hit pieces from the poverty franchise in BK

    all the nonsense on here from the bitter baby mommas who need to put their bonnets back on, stfu, and go back to sleep instead of hating 24/7 like lonely exes

    the talk from someone like Bruce Brown who would’ve been in China if not for Harden

    a dog has been awoken

    they really replaced Bum Simmons who wasn’t playing for them with Harden, and all it took was Seth and Drummond plus 2 picks

    It's hilarious how much the Sixers players looked unprepared at times for some of Harden's passes, it's like cavemen seeing electricity for the first time.

    Oh my.

    Maxey looked amazing not having to worry about orchestrating the offense and just focusing on attacking when he gets the ball.

    I counted 5 from memory wide open catch and shoots/catch and rhythm dribble from Embiid for easy buckets off Harden assists.

    The biggest thing this trade is going to do, is allow Embiid to rest whilst on the court and not have to get beat up every time he wants a shot.

    Dam - they looked like vintage showtime- !

    Having a true Big man who can score on all three levels and play defense and PASS like Embid makes so much easier!

    I'm still salty we ****ed everything up with Harden and Morey. Tilman is such a douche and will probably never field a winning team like that again. It's insane how far this franchise fell out without Harden and Morey.
    Terrible FA signings, awful draft decisions. Terrible coaching.

    The 76ers will be a great regular season team, but let's see how it translates to the playoffs when the opponents' defense tightens up. I still need more convincing before I consider them a championship caliber team. The Bucks and even the Nets (with Kyrie back) will be stiff playoff competition in the East.
