    Teach how to win? He even can't win with MVP players.

    Nobody can stop Harden's choking, even best coach of NBA.

    How long would Udoka put up with a player like Harden?

    James will teach these guys how to choke and enjoy the night life.

    Silas has already rubbed off enough bad/losing habits. We don’t need James rubbing off as well.

    Embiids return missed up his flow

    If you're interested in signing Harden to the max so he can choke when it matters and tell everyone who isn't a top 15 player to set screens, catch lobs, or stand in the corner while he isos or plays pick and roll I guess that's your prerogative

    He even can't win games with Kevin Durant. I feel sad for Harden fans.

    James Harden has 10 playoff games that shooting below 20%, which is the most in NBA history. Playoffs Harden never disappoints you on choking.

    Listen, you have no clue what you're talking about. He averaged 29/8/7 with us in the playoffs. He has a better TS% than Lebron in the playoffs. He played great against the Celtics with the Nets.... then he got a bad injury, which he shouldn't have played against the Bucks, which probably ****ed him up. He was okay for the 76ers' last playoffs besides the last game; I think he had 19/9/7 with efficient shooting last playoffs. He's had 2 good games against the Nets these playoffs and one really great against the Celtics. Yeah, in his last 2 games he's shot poorly, but he's also missed a lot of wide-open looks that he would normally make.

    I honestly don't think he can play with Embiid if we're being honest. I don't think most superstars can. Embiid is great and rightly the MVP, but he also demands a lot of the ball. Harden has had to sacrifice his scoring to help the team out, which has ****ed Harden's game up. We seen in game 1 what Harden can do where he's actually running the point and being the main scorer. Not to mention, I don't rate this 76ers team outside Maxey and Embiid regardless.

    So, stop with the stupid ****. You guys always come out of your hiding area when he shoots badly. Harden has always lost to the eventual winners or finalists.

    I bet you're one of those people that blamed Harden when we lost to the Warriors in 2019 where he averaged 34. Am I right?

    Man please. Did you watch this game? This guy's was playing passive as a baby. Even when embiid sat he had the chance to be selfish and he STILL relied on some cat called niang.

    “In all playoff games during Harden's time in Houston in which the score was within five points during the last five minutes, Harden is 41-of-108 (38%) and 9-of-50 (18%) on 3s, per ESPN Stats & Info. He has dished 13 dimes and committed 19 turnovers. Houston is minus-19 in those minutes.”

    “Zoom into super-crunch-time -- score within three, under three minutes in playoff games -- and Harden as a Rocket is 17-of-50 (34%) and 3-of-19 from deep with an even assist-to-turnover ratio.”

    Embiid played 40 minutes, so he barely sat. Did you actually watch the game? Harden had like 3 minutes to himself in total.

    Regardless, I'm talking about past James Harden playoffs where people are saying he's never shown up.... which is obviously false. I am not talking about current James Harden.
