    has more to do with doc rivers' meddling/antiquated philosophy. he probably got the memo that they need to shoot more of them. embiid can shoot 3s, everyone in their rotation can.

    Harden just broke his defender down like a math equation for the dime

    bring this man home

    he’s making Paul Reed look legit…imagine Jabari instead

    If Doc actually plays BBall Paul like this he produces. There is zero reason to run Embid in the ground. Sixers fans have been calling for Paul to get minutes like this in the playoffs for a while.

    Give Embiid a little space and a couple of seconds and he's a basket. Even when doubled or spaced with three defenders

    With that transition alley-oop, it's a twenty-point lead with three minutes.

    lol rememeber when people said harden couldnt score 20 because of the new "harden rules" and not shooting free-throws anymore, well 23/13 says "take that for data"

    Yeah what happens though when the 3 don't fall. Not sure how he lost some of the lift he had in the beginning of the season

    Elite playmaking at its finest. It’s still amazing how some folks tell themselves this doesn’t help the rockets. This is literally exactly the type of player these kids need

    Heard he’s been dealing with an Achilles injury more recently. I highly doubt it’s gonna fix this season and will need a lot of rest and recovery this off season.

    with that said it’s gonna be tough if his 3s not falling

    Harden played pretty well
    Philly wins big
    1st round against a team Philly is highly favored to beat fairly easily

    Fun game to watch. Philly was hitting 3s better than they usually do. Hopefully this will give their guys confidence to play aggressively in round 2 (yes I am already assuming they will advance).
