    What did Harden and now BronBron see in Westbrick. Brick was the same player in the early days with Harden. I understand the frustration in CP going down I'm what should be Harden's and Paul's championship but to go after Brick.

    Harden had to know that was some of team team ball ever.

    @Salvy I can totally see how much of a similar impact 36 yr old Lowry has compared to embiid in these last 2 games.
    All dem winning plays

    What a dummy.

    Wat happened to Duncan Robinson?

    Was Yurt 7-11 supposed to be good?

    Heat are a Sunny version of the Raps with more depth and Spoelstra at this point.

    This goes without saying, but the Sixers are a completely different team with Embiid. In the paint, he's sucking in the defense and giving the perimeter guys much needed spacing. The Heat have no size to match up with him, and so they have to overcompensate.

    Led by Harden, the wings have done a masterful job getting the ball to Embiid and setting up the offense these past two games.

    Besides health, the biggest question for me regarding the Sixers was their depth. But they're getting a ton from Green and Harris in the starting lineup and Thybulle and Niang are holding their own off the bench.

    If their health holds up, the Sixers look poised to peak at the right time.

    why is this such a big deal when 2 top picks and 2 MVP caliber players playing at home are beating on pick no 30 and a bunch of undrafted guys supported by Bricktor Lolabricko?

    Our chemistry surprisingly is quite good, after he got traded. Wood is a malcontent for the most part. KPJ is problematic, but he’s improving. Let's hope for the best.

    the crowd on that 1st three…chills

    not an empty seat in the house and every single person from courtside, to lower bowl, to the upper bowl is fully invested in the game and making noise

    how I wish more than anything that TC could be like this

    toybox fans are just polite. they mostly let the players on the court do their jobs they worked so hard for without bothering.

    Sixers have likely a bottom regular season record among the teams that are still alive.... I think the Celtics and Bucks have tie-breakers, meaning they have more road games when series go to 7 with any team left in contention.

    Always annoying when these anti harden folks get called out for their sht takes involving harden, they just pivot into well he's never gonna win a ring.

    Simple take after 76ers being down 0-2.

    Harden needs embiid to compensate his weaknesses. Embiid is vital to the 76ers.

    Antiharden: stop making bs excuses for hardens poor performance. He's choking. And the loss of Lowry offsets the loss of embiid in terms of availability. U r foolish to compare embiid 30.8 ppg to Lowry measly 15 ppg bc its high-school analytics. Lowry makes winning plays and u will see it.

    Two games later of Lowry subpar performance vs embiid and 76ers tying it up.

    Dummy: Well harden is never gonna win a ring.

    Just goal post moving. Always thinking that him not winning validates all the sht takes made.
