They miss Harden
No they don’t. They miss Embiid. They’re 26-8 with Embiid in the lineup. The team is built for their superstar to flourish. Without Embiid they’re just dog shit. Look at Buddy Hield and Tobias Harris. As a 3rd or 4th option they’re top players. When they have to be counted on to score and play through it’s a mess.

They don’t miss a guy who didn’t want to be there.

Kahwi left last nights game with back spasms and is questionable going forward. He was already battling a groin injury. Have to think he’s going to get some rest.

lol obviously they miss Embiid but they aren’t in a free fall if it’s harden and Maxey instead of just maxey.

Maxey isn’t ready to be that guy yet when Embiid is out while Harden was already use to that role which is why they were not this bad last season without him

You really back on the Harden wagon just because he is actually trying a little again? You do what he has done you can’t blame anyone for not respecting him, ever.

Not really I said the same thing earlier in the year as well. Unless you are some ignorant harden hater, it’s pretty obvious he is missed when Embiid is out.

I guess it doesn’t matter now, but he didn’t want to be there and is the kind of guy you don’t want around under that circumstance, period. The list of teams that come to that realization keeps growing, and it will happen again.

Oh bullshit, the only thing Philly did was not let him trick them into a stupid long term contract. The only reason the Clippers are getting value is he is going to be a free agent.

Not saying they shouldn’t have traded him. Just saying Embiid being out hurts them much more without him

I agree if we are only talking about it in terms of how things would be if he were playing and motivated. He bailed out of Brooklyn when people got hurt though so it’s really just not a good hypothetical.

He thought he had the Sixers tricked into giving him a long term max. I use the word tricked because Harden is never genuine with anyone.
