Some players you have to admire because it's like they have another they can kick into.

With Harden, it's like he has another gear below his standard gear and he reserves it only for high profile and playoff games.

Not sure what I'm supposed to feel while watching this game...I'm enjoying the Sixers getting embarrassed, but seeing the Nets play this well also scares me. I want no part of them in the 1st round.

Giving the Nets another shooter was asinine and thats with Kyrie not playing home games. They have KD, Kyrie, Patty and now Curry not to mention they just picked up Dragic. And to think that Harris also cant come back either

How can any player that shoots as good as him be a throw in. If they had Harris it would be bananas shooting on the roster.

Up 20 and no Ben Simmons. If youre the top seeds, how are you not fighting for the 3rd seed? Fight the whole season and play so well only to be rewarded with the Nets in round 1? nah bruh

even with the injuries to harden + kyrie last year, it was joe harris bricking wide open 3's that cost them the bucks series. they bolstered the release valve shooting with mills + curry.

Damn you would think with Embiid and Harden drawing so many fouls the NBA would throw their opponents a bone, but nope. 11-27 FTA deficit for the Nets.

Having 0 off ball movement helps.

Embiid doesn't want to put in effort off ball and Doc Rivers still doesn't know what a playbook looks like after these past decades let alone how to make an offensive system that isn't just him doing nothing but saying "good job guys!" in timeouts.

if the sixers lose this big, i'm waiting for a philly reporter to ask doc if harden can be a championship point guard.

He could of had a legacy like LeBron or Jordan while leading the Thunder to multiple championships but he robbed himself and all of us from that possibility by being a pathetic cupcake.

That's the real thing his pure cowardice robbed us and history of.


Have you seen Westbrook play? There is no way Westbrook was helping KD win a chip. KD leaving exposed how bad Westbrook is. KD is still an MVP level player and Westbrook is the worst contract in the NBA.

OKC should've kept Harden at that time instead and maybe things end differently. KD made the smart decision to leave.

hopefully Simmons is listening to Patty Mills, he should be a good influence if Simmons is willing

WOW. This has to go down as one of the more embarrassing beatdowns in a marquee game in a long time.

76ers team with quitters unclutch players in Embiid and Harden have their entire team also quitting.

They didn't even try after the first minute in the second half didn't go their way.

Pathetic.
