He’s also a 2 X Champion (cause he won it last year and CP3’s first year with us). Don’t forget the 2 X Finals MVP (he averaged like 40 points, was super clutch and dominated the Finals) He’s also a 4 X MVP cause Curry, Giannis and Westbrook all stole one from him.
To his defense Jim does have that Moses look down for most of his career. The Red Sea might have split.
Still?? Wutcha mean still. Harden fans like losing, failing, quitting and underachieving. Why would things change after last night?
Fun fact: Harden and Danny Green scored the same amount of points in the 3rd and 4th quarters in yesterday's game.
Harden deserves his share of criticism, but this team was obviously going as far as Embiid would lead them. A healthy Embiid just might have put together a Dirk Nowitzki-like run and willed the Sixers to the promised land. But he just didn't look the same after that orbital fracture. In the next few years, Harden could play a similar role as Jason Kidd played for the championship Mavericks team (minus the stellar defense but maybe more offense) and squeeze out a ring within the next few years. That is, unless he demands and receives a max contract. Then, the roster will probably be too thin for a serious run.
Is there a chance that Harden demands a max contract and Morey just lets him walk? Morey has to be extremely disappointed in Harden right now. He thought he'd finally assembled a two-star contender with no GSW-like superteam impeding them. But Harden is no star anymore.
Harden, Morey and Doc deserve 90% of the criticism. Harden was brought in as the help, Morey gave up their depth for him as well as future picks (whats new). Morey made bad trades and failed to offload Simmons while he still had value with his dumb ass demands. Doc kept starting De Andre Jordan who clearly is too wsshed to do anything any more. Embiid doesnt deserve any the dude played with orbital fracture and broken finger still brought it on. It shouldnt be on him to carry the team it should be on Harden. Next season he prob wont get the max so he doesnt have to carry the team but this season he def needed to carry the team. Ironically you know who could have helped Embiid? Malcom Brogdon and a lotto pick lol.
cmon what depth? Simmons didn't play Single minute. It's basically Seth curry for harden. Don't be ridiculous. Plus two picks. It's not like Drummond coulda played with Embiid. I think he's still injured and won't tell anyone. If he can't bounce back next year like CP3 who took a full year and 2 off seasons then we can write him off for good. Maybe he's done forever and Rockets lucked out by trading him early. But can we all just stop bashing the second greatest rocket to put on that uniform. Like seriously. Who cares if he sucked in the Sixers? He was still great when he was here. Learn to appreciate guys.
