Dude has a perpetual chip on his shoulder. Keeps him motivated.

That was a rock solid win. Seriously, as good a win as we've seen since the 8-2 start. Watching Maxey take and make big shots (including 3's!) down the stretch with the starters might be a game changer.

We won this game and it feels great, but if this version of Harden persists, the Nets will be tough to stop, and then you add some games with Kyrie.

That was great watch but I want no part of that team in the playoffs.

Embiid ….. just great to watch again. He’s out there mixing it up with KD while Ben continues to sook it up.

Get the big guy some help Morey.

KD is annoying but I respect his dedication and competitiveness. He reminds me of some of the old school guys. It's kind of nice to see the trash talk and intensity as opposed to all the hugging and handshakes between teams. Makes the games more exciting and meaningful.

The beast has officially woken up! Now we need to start seeing other guys like Maxey, Niang, Korkmaz on the roll consistently, and we can grab a top 3 spot.

KD is one of the greatest offensive players ever

Personally think that Thybulle is overrated defensively but he’s All NBA & he made him look like a kid

Tobias pfft

Embiid nothing

Just an amazing, goofy, praying mantis who can shoot over anyone

He didn’t play that well & still sunk 33

WHen i watch Harden i get sad thinking we almost had him. What could have been...

His playmaking is so good, and he´s a potent scorer( altough not that good as he was a couple years ago).

MAxey on the corner is a good spot for him, he can nail that corner 3 with good %. Doc always put he in the dunker spot, i dont know why

I'm still cracking up about Embiid telling the Nets to go home after a game in Brooklyn. Next level trolling.

KD showed class in his presser.

Never been a KD fan. Thought him going to Golden State was weak. Last year in the playoffs I came around and began to appreciate him after that performance and loss against the Bucks. The guy is no joke listen to him he knows what each of the 76ers players that contributed to the win did. The guy is a student of the game. But I still believe he was on his burner account after the game saying that Philly sucks to anyone that would listen. Why because he is always in his feelings. He does a better job of masking them, but he is always in his feelings. And he is an amazing basketball player.

Best coached game by Doc Rivers all season.

Who’s the other guy who covered this game? Not McGinnis.

Generational players have different ways of motivating themselves, and Durant's is clearly to have that eternal chip on his shoulder. He had it in OKC, he had it while winning two chips with GS, and he's brought it to Brooklyn - without it he might be just another really good player.

As you said, he is a student of the game, and works his ass off to keep the edge he has. He is ultra sensitive to any criticism, and uses it to fuel the "me against the world" attitude that obviously motivates him daily. Great players are rarely ordinary 'good guy' types, and often rub people the wrong way, and he is no exception.

Former Sixer and North Philly's own Marc Jackson

That was the Nets broadcast team. Ian Eagle was the PBP guy, he's been around a long time and does football and college hoops on CBS.
