    No. Only 3 teams have even forced a game 7. All lost.

    1951 Knicks
    1994 Nuggets
    2003 Blazers

    Doc - Harden being the first to do it would be kind of hilarious

    Rockets had no business losing that series and no business losing that GSW series where Durant got hurt

    Harden's legacy is going to take a huge hit if he loses this series. Toronto should be in Cancun right now.

    There is a lot of choke in Philly. These dudes play way too cool. play like you want to win. Celtics didn't want anyone in Brooklyn to prosper.. Philly playing way to cool. fight for that sh*t.

    I want the best for Embiid. I really like him. I do. But it would be hilarious if the Sixers somehow lost this series.

    It def wont help, but I don't think it'll be that bad for Harden. The blame will fall primarily on Embiid and Doc. Harden has been the 3rd or 4th best player for the Sixers the last month + and in the playoffs. Embiid who has been dominant and in the MVP race the past two seasons have yet to have the same dominance in the postseasons in his career (due to injuries) and Doc's history of playoff collapses will likely be the second biggest story.

    Nurse vs Doc does not look very fair right now.

    He better not. He’s done as an elite scorer. Seems like overnight.

    Well...it would be history...

    I agree lol. I like Embiid and Harden but...the meme potential of Doc losing a 3-0 lead is very hard to pass up on here. I at least hope it goes 7.

    This is like that year before Chris Paul was traded from Houston. Paul was recovering from injury and looked like a shell of himself for that season.

    It took CP3 a whole year before he returned to form, and the same may go for Harden.
