He's more consistent with effort. Tatum loses focus like a child through out the game.

Plays with more force and will. Makes him pop in comparison to Tatum who's more finesse and skilled based.

Nobody has the ball, Mark. Not everything has to go in favor for Philly

Where was this version of James Harden in these last 2 games? The 76ers with this version of James Harden can beat any team in the NBA .

Boston has the best 1 to 8 rotation of all the teams left, home come they are not championship favorite?

Harden heard all the chatter.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

Gotta guard for Boston. Kind of silly and lazy again today. Makes no sense.
