Harden's game in his old age has transformed into him taking a step back from the scoring and being one of the best creators in the game.

76ers have gotten endless open looks and FTs all game long, I have no idea how they aren't up by 30 points yet. Just a thing of beauty to watch offensively. (well aside from the many cringe fouls the refs are calling)

Damn, Sixers looking good

Brooklyn really messed up trading harden. They should have traded kyrie instead.

RJ with great first half back after his injury.

Julius is moving the ball well, but he's really struggling with his shot/touch against that Heat defense.

What? Define good? Standings?

They're mediocre is what I mean, their top-end talent isn't top tier, they don't defend, nobody scares you in the clutch, prone to lapses in judgement for quarters at a time...

I really like Edwards but the team as a whole doesn't impress me.

I rarely watch Wolves games but watching tonight they look like a disorganized and undisciplined team. They have talent but they look like a bunch of random dudes playing a pick-up game at the Y.

Sounds like the James Harden I envisioned as a prospect, only took 12 years :lol:

I hate all these ref calls lol. Sure Embiid got a little bit of the hand there but that's just good defense and a block. Ugh

Good to see that Philadelphia is getting equally hosed by weak foul calls.

Can’t watch - any non philly and non minny fans have a take on all these fouls on embiid and harden? Legit or no?

Man Maxey is smaller (and faster) than I thought he was. That's a PG's body through and through.

Horrible calls all around for both teams. Very confusing.

Like one of the worst officiated games I've seen.

The first 10 minutes was very biased towards Philly though. Mainly Embiid getting ghost calls. But **** has it ever "balanced" out into just complete nonsense. Like this feels below NBA level quality refing.

Most are legit, you can def argue that half were soft whistles. Unless you're a star, you don't get soft whistles, sad reality of the NBA.

The real problem is that the refs are inconsistent as per usual.

Harden would have asked out anyway and to be fair Kyrie ranked his own trade value...

Sucks that they had to trade Harden, but we'll... They had to do it.

Who ya got?
