Daryl will not max him. There is no way he maxes him and as a matter of fact, there is no way the owner gives the go ahead to max him.
Harden is not giving up chipotle for Kale. CP3 changed his whole diet to get back to form. Harden walked in fat when he was with KD and Kyrie and KD blasted him for it.
Always funny lurking in losing teams subreddits on reddit. Philly fans are about to fall off a cliff.
Yeah, CP3 took flak from a lot of Houston fans who wanted him shipped out after that season. (But probably not for Westbrook LOL) But like DreamShook said, it's not a guarantee that Harden makes it back in the same way.
Doc Rivers with 31 losses in close out games... maybe it wasn't T-Mac's fault after all in Orlando...
Joel Embiid on James Harden: “He just needs to be aggressive, he needs to be himself, that’s not really my job. That’s probably on coach to talk to him.” This is the key if they want to make a deep playoff run. The hamstring may have limited Harden's explosiveness, but him hesitating to shoot open jumpers and not taking more mid-range shots is hurting the 76ers offense as teams continue to double off of him. CP3 in 2019 was likewise a step slow due to injuries/health/fitness but all his numbers (fga, 3pta, assists etc) all were pretty close to his 2018 and 2020 averages (except his %). In other words while his efficiency was affected he still tried to play his game. Harden's passivity this season is just odd as he seems to be trying to play like a mix of Rubio and Rondo.
Yeah point is Cp3 had to do extreme stuff to get back in shape. Really dont see Harden doing that he doesnt have the same hunger and ambition Cp3 has. Cp3 is a massive choker but at the end of the day he always gives his 110% he just falls short every time. Harden doesnt have that kind of hunger and discipline maybe prior to the Lil Baby era but not now.
If he was KD and Irving wouldnt have gotten on him during training camp for being fat and out of shape. I think Harden just wants a free ride now.
Yeah it would be , its only game 2 thou... If Toronto wins the 3rd Harden must be feeling the pressure...
Their season ended in game 4 when embiid got injured. Nothing they do matters now because without joel they’re drawing dead anyway. Their season is as dead as the nets. No embiid = no chance
Not sure what the hell happened with Harden so quickly. He looked okay the first 2-3 weeks with the 76ers. Did the Philly strippers drain all his vitality?
and no business losing the series where steph got hurt perhaps even the one where russ got hurt... we had them on ropes and harden basically gave it away to 39 old derek fisher...at the time it was reasonable to not hold it against harden since it was his first season and they overachieved, but in retrospect that was a classic harden choke job with the opponent star player hurt/out....
hes not injured he was playing... everybodys hurt a little its the playoffs and professional basketball players are 90% time playing with some nuisance or the other, they just dont tweet it always and keep it to themselves....
"Happens every year. It’s always something. 2018 facial injury, 2019 he was sick, 2020 he was depressed in the bubble, 2021 meniscus tear, 2022 thumb. What’s worse is that he drags his the spirit of his team down with his mopiness. Sixers fans would agree I’m sure. He’s the constant every year. You can blame Simmons, Doc, Brett brown, etc. But it’s on him. You can’t rely on Joel Embiid when it matters most."
