    Lol @ delusional rejects blaming Doc Rivers, refs, Tobias Harris and everyone and everything but the bearded bum loser. Shocker! Bunch of excuses as imagined. So predictable. Just like Harden later on in the series.

    Imagine being in prime position to finally get out of the 2nd round for the first time in 5 years and you put up

    13 Points
    4-16 FG
    0-6 3PT
    5 Turnovers

    Classic bearded bum loser stuff. Been doing the same BS for the last 10 + years yet his fanbois will cry for him to come back more than ever after Sunday. Bunch of dummies.

    It's a bunch of people here that will defend Harden no matter what and it's sad. Wanting Harden back with the team is one thing, but to be so delusional and say that Harden had a good game last night is completely asinine. People on this board want to blame this loss on Tobias Harris LOL. Harris is the 76ers 4th option at best. But the guy the Rockets and fans want to bring back can't be critiqued? I'm not a Harden hater, I rooted for the guy when he was here as I do for every current Rocket. I pray to the basketball gods that Harden and the 76ers win Game 7 of this series, and then I hope he makes it all the way to the NBA Finals and loses so he'll consider going back to Philadelphia. We don't need this guy back...

    Harden fanbois desperately looking for room to add Tobias Harris of all people to the collection.

    How the fck y’all losers gonna blame Tobias Harris as if you didn’t already know he’s an overpaid role player. Y’all mfers seriously surprised and blaming Tobias freaking Harris for not showing up when y’alls main loser bum hero/former MVP/ “best scorer in the world” goes 4-16 FG, 0-6 3 PT AND has 5 turnovers on top of that.

    Sorry ass Harden wasting another Prime year of Joel’s career and stunting young stud Maxey’s growth by not showing up when it matters most bbbut bbut but Tobias Harris!!!11

    Sorry ass frauden bum done been cookin up playoff L’s for over a decade… of course his uncultured loser fan club finds them tasty regardless.

    Harden playing poorly and Tobias being actual dead weight can both b tru.

    A man being paid 40 million should not b putting up 2 pts ever.

    If we paid Harden that much money and he puts up that type of performance, folks on here would b btching for days.

    The double standard is unreal. If Harden is paid that much folks like u won't try to downplay it like oh Hardens now the 3rd/4th option on the team like u are doing with harris.

    I would be incredibly surprised if Boston doesn't win the series now.

    And I predict that that will mean the final falling out between Embiid and Harden, and Harden will be gone.

    Most likely to Houston, though, but we would be idiots to offer a multi-year max deal.

    At a much lower price, yes, but...

    I do not trust both Philly or Boston for that matter but Boston has the better overall team, Philly got more renowned superstars.

    Still got Harden in 7. Took an otherworldly performance by Tatum to pull out a win.

    No. Embiid is so much more consistent when it matters and he hustles for come from behind blocks and really does old school big man post ups. I still want Harden back but know Embiid is the way better player.

    He's got size to switch on defense and is fast. He's an over paid elite intangibles player.

    Bro how many people on this forum are actually true 76ers fans here? For the sake of argument let's say that less than 10% here root for Philadelphia because they actually like the team. Now I'm sure that number is much higher if you consider how many people on this board are Harden fans. Obviously if you are a fan of a player you are probably going to root for the team that player plays on. Follow me so far? Well over 75% of the people that post in THIS thread are watching the game to watch you guessed it James Harden, the man that is supposedly coming back to the Rockets. So yes we do reserve the right to critique him, most people on clutchfans could give two sh!ts about Tobias Harris bro. Even though yes I do agree with you that Tobias has been playing super bad in this series. But this is a Houston Rockets forum, and we are talking about the BIGGEST summer of the Houston Rockets maybe in the history of our organization. People have the right to question rather or not James Harden should return, and it's ok for them to have doubts about that. Who are you to say otherwise? Just like I can't be mad if people want him back, I don't personally want Harden back but who cares about what I want? When you bring up that Harris makes 40 million dollars it's essentially giving Harden a pass for playing like ass last night. "Well Harden didn't do as bad as Tobias Harris" like that makes what we are seeing with our own eyes any better in regards to Harden. Harden can't shoot for Harris and yes I agree that the loss is not all on James Harden. BUT Harden can still control how he performs on the court can he not? Going 4-16 is horrible, especially from a former MVP. And it would be different if Harden occasionally had playoff games like this. He freaking does this crap every single year every single series. But continue to do what you do so well and be a Harden apologist LOL...

    It also took an otherworldly trash performance by Tatum in the first 3 quarters to keep the game close.

    And I don't want to rag on Harden. But if Harden had that kind of shooting night, he would have given up. I give Tatum the kudos for keeping the confidence.

    The sad part is he's about to get Scott foster in game 7. So he's going fishing soon.

    i really don't understand why boston gets officiated the way they do. With the warriors i at least understand it (even if i hate it) because they can charge such high ticket prices that you want as many warriors home games as possible, but why does it happen with boston?
