After that first quarter--where the officiating was indeed very random+bad--the bad calls and excessive FTs stopped, and the Sixers still beat the Wolves by 21pts throughout the last 3 quarters. Think the Wolves only committed 8 or 9 total fouls in the second half and Sixers smoked em by being, like, better at basketball on all fronts.

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.


Nah, didn't look at post history, it's the posters most And1'd comment. It's just sitting on their profile.

I know timberwolves on back to back nights.

But just for this game. It just looks like sixers are toying around. Add Maxey running wild with open layups. I don’t know where teams can find a focal point to defend the sixers.


If Harden is is being Harden, then how long before he flack off games to force a trade again? It's a slippery slope with him.

Yea, I think this is the year for the 76ers, but I think the Nets will be strong af next season...assuming Kyrie can go full time again. Now is the time for the 76ers.

All the over the top trade responses were always way off.

This was a great trade for both teams

Hopefully we see then go at it in the playoffs

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?


I like watching my team win. How about you?

They didn't go to the line much in the 2nd half. I am not going to get bent about it. It is just one game. I am happy they won, and they looked OK, but the bench played like azz and outside of Embiid, Harden and Maxey (who were 29-for-46) they shot like crap.

None of this matters until the playoffs.

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.


I guess you are not a regular here. This is the RealGM GB - where Seth Curry is a GAWD and the Sixers got FLEECED.

Please remember the narrative around here. Thanks!

Maxey looks like he's going to be the big beneficiary of Harden, puts him into more of a combo/shooting guard role and lets him just attack without having to set up teammates.



The Harden/Embiid pick and roll or pop already looks like it's going to be a big issue, since both can punish mismatches.

Sixers or Bucks come out the East and Phoenix comes out the West. Philly has a solid chance to win it all.

Scared is pretty much how all fans have felt when we saw a Magic game on the national slate for the past decade, but then it was because of the lack of talent we knew we would be subjected to.
