Welcome James Harden!

[Tony Franciosa]

It feels a little worrisome that the team has been leaking he would probably play tonight and now all of a sudden he’s out through the break.

Combined with him weirdly showing up a couple days late here after the trade was completed, not attending either of our weekend games. Just giving me weird vibes.

This has been the Sixers' front office MO since the Bynum days. They are not shy about manipulating their fans with "what ifs" to sell more tickets. It pisses me off to be honest and I thought it was a Scott O'Neil thing, but clearly it's systemic.

Camera angles and what not, but Harden is a big boy.



6'5 scoring machine.

Need to know who wound up winning this game of Simon Says.

[mjkvol]

!! this is going to be so awesome. Looking forward to the post-asb debut.

I thought after the trade that honestly the best thing would be for Harden to take the time to get into the program here while making sure the hammy is good and come in fresh after the break.

Sure, I'm disappointed not to be able to watch what would have been an electric night against the Celtics, but it's way more important to have him good to go at playoff time. I hope Doc will limit him to 30-32 minutes most nights until the playoffs, and kind of wish he would do the same with Embiid most games.

When I start hearing Bynum stuff, it's getting just a bit carried away. Chill, this is gonna be a fun ride.

So Harden will be active for the last 24 games of RS. That’s okay.

First seven games after ASG:
2/25 @ Wolves
2/27 @ Knicks (ABC)
3/2 Vs. Knicks (ESPN, home debut)
3/4 Vs. Cavs (very important seeding wise)
3/5 @ Heat (tough game on a b-2-b)
3/7 Vs. Bulls (very important seeding wise)
3/10 Vs. Nets (TNT) OH MY!!!

[Tony Franciosa]

I didn't mean to invoke Bynum in any way other than being felt lied to and strung on by the team itself in order to sell ticket packages.

Has it occurred to you that Morey got fleeced?

No. LOL

I hope you know he's being sarcastic and just **** with DHM haha

I kinda knew. That’s why I added the LOL. LOL

Harden is easily 6’5. I’ve seen him standing next to guys 6’7 at the Toyota Center and he was just as tall or at worst an inch small and he has a huge physical stature. Guarding him for a full game will wear out even the best defenders in the world,

[Black Mage]

I still feel, in my heart (and I can only go by my heart - I'm not a person who goes by my brain), that James Harden is ultimately unknowable.

He's knowable, you just have to go back to the 80's and 90's eras when playing hard but partying hard was a mantra.

[Black Mage]

For all those "red flags" peeps, has it ever occurred to you that maybe he does need time/rest for his injuries (hammy/hand)? I for one didn't believe he was faking injuries to force a trade. And so far I've seen nothing that proves me wrong.

Has it occurred to you that Morey got fleeced?

Seriously? I cant even watch sports shows without hearing morons in the national media saying we lost, we got fleeced, Nets won and are better than us. Really don't need it on our own boards even if a joke (unless in green font).

I mean tonight NBA TV literally said they don't know how Joel will coexist b/c he'll have to leave the block to set screens out by the arc and he doesn't do that right now.

Another show talked about how we lost b/c Seth Curry is now better than Harden and that we somehow downgraded inserting Harden into the lineup for Curry.

Seriously, this is the kind of crap that is everywhere right now. Let's at least try to stay positive until at least after the all-star break?

Almost all of the so-called pundits don't want to accept that the Sixers were actually able to get a superstar for Ben Simmons, let alone anything. They wanted it to play out so poorly for Morey. Perk seems like one of the few guys outside of the Sixers fans who loves the move for the Sixers.

Perk, Shaq and KOC. Can't even believe that's the trio that are making the most sense. Regardless, I know why they won't admit it, but if I just want to watch some NBA shows it's frustrating always going into it knowing there are going to be shots at the Sixers. I should be able to come to our own boards without that, or at least again let it be in green font so it's clear someone is just playing around.

[zaz102]

Well, there's one way to shut them up. We'll find out soon enough.

They were wrong about not being able to get rid of Horford's contract.

They were wrong about Curry being a downgrade from J-Rich.

They were wrong about Embiid breaking down.

They were wrong about Morey being about to get anything for Simmons especially as time went on.

Time to shut them up one more time.

[DHM]

Anyone know what time the presser is and how to watch? Might have to close the office door and pretend I’m on a zoom!! Haha

Noon EST. Don't know exactly how to watch, but I'm certain it will be live streamed on the team's twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

Snatching 5 wins out of this stretch is going to be huge for playoff implications.

[thenbaman]

We got one of the best players in the world,lol at the rest of these rejects.

It seems everyone bet against Morey getting something of value for BS and when he did they all went into defense mode and started with Morey got fleeced. But you know what, I love it. I'd rather the critics not be on the 76ers side. Let the haters hate and let the 76ers keep on rolling.

Yeah Morey is a fantastic GM. There's a reason Rockets fans always say "In Morey We Trust". The only nitpick I have is he's too active on social media. The Hong Kong tweet almost backfired badly. If I'm not mistaken, he was also fined for tampering after a tweet about Seth Curry. That's too much for my liking.

But other than that, you guys are in good hands.
