Starting to feel bad for Harden. He just wants to coast to a ring to the point of abandoning all his friends but somehow still ends up alone every time. They got no chance to win this series he is out of shape and lost all his speed and athleticism.
This fanbase should still be humbled from Kobe dropping 81 on their head Guess they need another one. Maybe Embiid can do it to them next year
The Sixers just need to take one of these two games in Miami. If they can somehow steal the second game, and Embiid comes back as rumored for the remaining games, they'll have an outside chance.
This game is 100% on Harden but going to D Jordan was just so confusing... It was killing any momentum and with Harden they really needed it. If small ball could hang on long enough for Harden to wake up this game could have been had... I'm sure Doc does not feel small ball is sustainable for long periods of time but man it at least gave them a better chance...
Going to be REALLY interesting to see how the Harden contract plays out. Any GM other than Morey giving him a max deal?
It’s just crazy to keep blaming Harden for being washed. It’s like blaming Dream in Toronto, or blaming Jordan as a wizard, or Ewing in Orlando. Professional Sports is unforgiving, when you lose a step or two it shows big time. Philly ain’t winning without (Embiid) it’s best player. You need your best in the playoffs and without Embiid it’s not realistic to expect to beat a one seed.
I find it funny, Jordan was winning ships left and right at Harden's age. 32 is a good age, Lebron was balling out. MJ fell off when he was 36 and the Wizards were never a high seed or a legit Playoff team. MJ also never enjoyed modern tech and modern advancement in sports medicine.
You’re talking about guys who took care of themselves vs one who didn’t. Plus those guys were just plain better. But washed is washed, it doesn’t matter when it happens.
Missing embiid, a vital member of 76ers is crucial. But once more dem harden haters like to btch how harden is a choker and what not. It's the cp3 scenario all over again. But apparently Missing your best big man is just making excuses for harden
Oh so he washed now? I thought he was really good in the regular season.... So many stats and graphs that showed me he was one of the bests..... Guess he washed now thou.... Oh well...
It's all about context. Can't reason with Harden haters logically but I will give it a go. Heat missing a pg in Lowry who averages 14.8 vs embiid a big man contesting for regular season mvp who averages 30.6 pts. Any logical basketball fan can see which player is more vital to their teams playoff success Got to get rid of the dumb@$$ 1 for 1 player injury mentality. Acting like losing embiid vs losing Lowry balances things out. Folks with harden hate boners, judgement alway gets clouded u hate to see it.
You must be really dissapointed from last night if you are trying to say ppg is the whole story.... Kyle Lowry is more important than you think, and when Embiid and Lowry get back you will see what Im talking about.... Lowry will not put up 30 ppg but I am confident he will be making the winning plays down the stretch.... Its insane that you are even trying to match these two players on ppg alone... This is a high school bs argument...
Please stop. Lowry is not even having a mvp caliber season vs embiid. Any normal bb fan can tell u that 76ers missing their mvp candidate is way more impactful than the Heats losing Lowry. Your hate for Harden is making u think losing embiid vs Lowry balance things. Imagine u go up to a celtic or bucks fan and say losing smart is the same thing as losing giannis. Or Losing bev is as important as steph curry. That's how stupid this Lowry = embiid stance is. Ppg is often used to compare players and when a player has double the ppg to the compared player, u shouldn't dismiss that. As if it's not obvious enough. Imagine telling folks losing a player that averages 30 points is the same as losing a player with 15 points. I didn't even bother to list the other stats that makes embiid a contender for the mvp award cause I thought it was too obvious. But apparently for a low iq harden hater, I should do it next time
