This is now the third time I've seen opposing fanbases take over MSG. Warriors, Nets and Sixers.

Not by any means saying the Nets have a ton of clout in NYC yet.

But the hard truth is, people in NYC don't care about the Knicks anymore. Not nearly as much as they used to.

This **** wouldn't be happening in LA or Boston.

They don't have the grip on NYC that people pretend they do.

The fans are chanting from tip off for the opposing team in back to back games lol

This was Friday night.

Watch on YouTube

Our fans travel very well. It's beautiful

Harden looking better than he did all season for the Nets.

Dude was literally out of shape all season. And decided to magically get into shape after the trade.

Embiid got an MVP player on his team now. We knew Harden was phoning it in. This will be too easy for this team. So many free throws lol

Sixers gotta do something with Tobias Harris in the next couple of years. Dude is so mid getting a max contract currently stealing money. They need better roleplayers.

Damn Harden was really dogging it in Brooklyn, when his boy Durant advocated for him.

It really makes you wonder about all the what ifs with that OKC team. Harden would have wanted out either way.

Probably checked out after everything that happened this season.

Nets 30 for 30 is going to be insane.

Didn't Harden say he was sold on him not having to carry the load coming to brooklyn? All of a sudden Kyrie is going Braveheart and KD is injured. It was inevitable.

These Knicks are a mess on offense!

Harris haas to become a catch-and-shoot guy - especially when he is with the starters. Embiid, Harden and Maxey will all eat before him (as they should), so the days of Harris dribbling 3-5 seconds off the clock and doing NOTHING have to end.

Either he figures it out by the playoffs or he will be gone this summer, IMO.

Wasn't he playing with KD who was at one point leading the MVP race? What was his excuse back then?

Maxey is going to feast on all of that room that he will see on the floor alongside Embiid and Harden.

GotDaSauce · Post #38 » by **GotDaSauce** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 7:08 pm

What with these announcers consistently saying the others full name in conversations???? Its so freaking odd.

Just feels like the sixers are toying with their food before they crush them. Harden seems in complete control of the offense already have less than 6 quarters.

I don’t know how you can stop the pick and roll with harden and embiid. Maxey Harris or someone will be open all day to drive in for layup from the weak side.

The easy answer here is Harden knew it was KD's team, but he was pissed that Kyrie was doing his flat-earth, anti-vaxx ish and KD sided with Kyrie. Harden actually wanted to just be a part of things - not have to carry the load like he did in Houston...but Kyrie's stupid ish at the start of the season was at the bottom of it.

I think that Harden also saw how Maxey lit the Nets up in the last game in Brooklyn and saw that it wasn't just Embiid he was jumping ship for. His post-game comments that game on Maxey were glowing. I don't think it is a coincidence that the two of them have bonded sing Harden got to Philly, or that Maxey is straight balling since Harden got there. Harden was smart enough to see how much of a weapon Maxey could be with him and Embiid.

Who will win these assorted big games?
