No doubt about it. And he also quit on Houston.

Yep he is horrible. Very unlikable guy. Quit on a team during the season to get his way. Zero respect for him

Totally agree with you. And I don't like players that quit on their team. I put Simmons in the same category.

I'll say it again it is evident that Harden quit on Brooklyn.
I'm starting to believe he doesn't do anything that isn't intentional.

He's a very methodical guy.

He's probably the best defender in the league but won't show us till he's ready haha

And Irving quit on the Nets.....in a different way.....by not getting the vaccine.

Was just getting ready to mention that. And don't forget last season he told the team he needed some me time to clear his head. So he went out clubbing, broke league virus protocols and missed more games. He's a 100% me-first head case.

@fightinfunbags they won.....despite making just 10 of 33 from downtown.
Yeah they got good looks though. They don’t need to win the game at the 3 point line. They just need to compete there.

Just saw a stat. Embiid Maxey Harden in 2 games have 176 points on 92 FG attempts. That’s crazy and it’s a product of their ability to get to the line. These two guys are going to take important players off the floor in the playoffs.

Knicks are a terrible team as far as basic basketball fundamentals go.

Add in zero discipline, with zero leadership....and that's why they suck.
They fight but they fade. I have really enjoyed when they’re on tv stalking the score. They make a 2nd half run to make it close and they fade down the stretch. It’s like their DNA. The algorithms on live bets don’t factor that enough. Knicks fade has been hitting for me at a 65-70% clip this year. Caught Sixers -6.5 today at 84-81. Easy money.

Unfortunately for Harris he has already failed in that role for the Sixers. Pre Harden trade Harris was the guy at the end of the 3rd start of the 4th that would be the lone starter with the 2nd group. It was one of the Sixers worst groups on a nightly basis. Dude is a vet. He needs to get out of his feels or his funk and find a role. It’s just that simple.

Big bucket by Harris there. He needs to calm down and just play within the offense like he did there.

He and Maxey could take turns being the #3 guy.
For me, if Maxey/Harris give you 30+ points per game, it really doesn't matter to me who has more/less.
Embiid/Harden will give you 60+, so it's just a matter of getting something/anything from Thybulle and whatever the bench can give you.

Day of the trade I felt dirty cause the Beard was mine. But a day later I embraced it. I kind of enjoy it when my team is the villain. And the Sixers offense is night and day with him in there.

This is on Doc. He needs to:
1. Manufacture role guys around them
2. Get Harris settled into a role that doesn’t sacrifice Embiid Harden Maxey and their roles
3. Find a defensive system centered around Embiid that can work with these pieces come playoff time

But Doc just got his best chance in awhile. The two man game of Embiid/Harden means Doc won’t get exposed in a series for an inability to adjust. Embiid/Harden presents too much with two players who can score multiple ways on 3 different levels and Harden is one of the best decision makers I’ve ever seen play pick n roll.
