    I hope Philly hires Mike D. That way we can put this noise to rest. We'll be contending for playoff spot with Wembanyama and a solid signing. Just gotta go .500 and I really believe with Udoka, Wembanyama, a veteran and a team of young guns actually trying to win instead of actively trying to lose can do that.

    10 Game Score, not 10 points.
    https://www.nbastuffer.com/analytics101/game-score/

    Game score basically measures how good the player's overall box score was for a game including points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, fouls, efficiency, etc.

    Game Score is actually favorable to Harden by the way, because it doesn't do a good job of measuring defensive contributions.

    Harden wouldn't last with JVG either.

    Lol if it was any coach but Doc but Doc doesn't have a good history with players. I don't know what it is but it seems a lot of players don't enjoy playing for him.

    At the end of the day man Doc only won one championship with was then a superteam...and then he's been on teams with multiple all-stars nearly all of his career and has continued to disappoint nearly every time, sometimes hilariously so.

    The fact that you think "pull" is a prerequisite for pushing an agenda suugests you are probably out of your depth on the issue.

    He’s coached for 20+ years and has no system. That means he is terrible.

    every single team he has ever coached has underachieved

    The fact that you think if anyone doesn't share you opinion has an "agenda" suggests you are probably a Karen.

    Hyperbole. Not being good enough isn’t equivalent to “terrible.” And it’s spelled “turrible.”

    I don’t think he will ever coach in the NBA again

    What opinion did I express?
    When did I say anything about sharing one?

    Calm down keyboard killa and give a little thought before you post.

    Morey, Doc and Harden; all 3 simply do not have any edge in the NBA to win a championship. All 3 should be avoided by any teams.
    Daryl Morey is the one that deals the hands when it comes to player acquisition. Yao/Tracy were playing before Morey was even hired. Don't forget CP3/Harden had another chance to go at it after that hamstring injury. Morey catered way too much for Harden who simply was a playoffs dud and continued to experiment over and over again and did the same with the 76ers. So no it is not stupid to include him. Not saying he is bad GM but he does not have an edge in getting a championship team together.

    Harden definitely won't be playing for Doc now. He got fired!
