Like the Knicks on Sunday.

Or the bucks before AS break.

Or the Celtics before all star? Or only the games you pick

But Harden makes everything so much easier for the team, really exactly what they’ve been needing. Even if he and Joel don’t figure out a perfect synergy it’s huge to have another way to generate good offense at will.

Truth. The Sixers have been dying to have a guy who can get his on the perimeter. Now they have one.

Maxey in attack mode with all of the space out there. 11-for-15 tonight.

Their bench was azz-cheeks and Harris did virtually nothing, and it is still a blowout.

I clearly said none of that matters in the grand scheme of things. But yeah, if Celtics shoot 56% from three's on 45 attempts, every team in the NBA should be terrified

It is going to be pretty toxic on the GB now. If people were hating on Embiid and the Sixers before, I can’t imagine what it is going to be like now. Hoo-boy.

To be fair, Minnesota is kind of garbage, but I was a HUGE fan of Philadelphia getting Harden. He is exactly what they needed, offensively.

Nobody enjoys free throw contests. I think we can all agree on that. Do you think Sixers fans (as you saw quoted earlier) who were hating on Harden's game before for being ugly (foul baiting) will suddenly sing a different tune and say it's FUN to watch?

They just beat the Grizzlies the prior game, and the Wolves have been pretty damn good this year. It's okay though, GB gonna GB. I'm keeping all those receipts though.

They're playing 8v5 against the Wolves who're on the tail end of a B2B.

Either you're overreacting or your definition of scary includes parallel parking.

GB consensus after the trade: Sixers got fleeced lol, Curry is too good to give for fat Harden :lol:

Nothing says Lock to win the the east like beating the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Yeah I'm not sure why anyone would think that. If they gave up Maxey in the deal, that'd be one thing, but they didn't.

Even if Harden is kind of on the decline, he should have enough in the tank to help out Embiid in his prime. The timing for this trade was right when you consider Embiid. I don't see how this wasn't a good move for the 76ers.

Nobody did. It's just that everyone has to be a victim so some Sixers fans have turned "hey, the Nets didn't get screwed" into "roflmao Sixers SUKKKKKKKKKKKKKK".

Look good together and the worst player to watch are not really a contradiction though. I hate watching him, but can see there is synergy (look good together). Not really sure what I am reading into this, except that you have a lot of spare time to check people’s post history.

We'll see how defenses adjust but 76ers looking obviously far better now.
