Honest question.....do you guys think its actually all mental with him? Or is he simply not good enough? Are the Celtics actually doing something out there?
Just putting the game on, WTF lol.... I put this on Tobias and the refs, oh and Harden might have a lingering injury.....
I was rooting for a Jokic vs Embiid final, but I cant say I'm surprise at the collapse by the 76ers. There are reasons why Embiid, Doc and Harden are known for coming up small in big moments. Embiid was great defensively in the first half and ok offensively due to getting to the line. The 2nd half he was a non factor. Harden was just too passive from the jump. It was eerily like 2015 vs Warriors game, Game 6 vs Spurs, Game 7 vs OKC in 2020 and a few other. As for Doc, not sure what coaching decision could've changed this outcome, but his team simply has a record of collapses over the years.
It's definitely his attitude. I bet you instead of taking a look in the mirror to see what he could've done better, he's probably pointing the finger at the coach and his teammates.
I'm still in awe at how Westbrook not only fooled Harden, but nearly every big superstar in the NBA into playing with him. Man's played with more HOFers than any player in history, and he'll be out of the league by age 35.
I think its mental....because I really dont believe the Celtics are doing anything out there. Prime James Harden would probably destroy this team in 5 so it never gets that far ol.
Just in case anyone is sad today, @jerryclark @YOLO @clos4life @jordnnnn I just want to remind you no one can take Harden's swag championships.
