Ballers vs floppers. Ballers win

This didn’t aged well

Funny thing is: Harden’s had TONS of those kinds of games in his career.

I remember him scoring 33 points on like 6 FGs a few years back.

His issue is that he doesn’t have anything else to go to once refs are not calling fouls on his drive and or he’s not making his step back 3. Dude has no mid range game at all he can go to.

James Harden is quitter plain and simple. Any team he faces even the slightest adversity he bitches up. It should be pretty obvious that he quit on the Nets. He’s a player that loves to win, not a player who hates losing if that makes sense.

Embiid walked straight to the locker room, not even GG daps.

Availability is apart of being an all time talent. If Embiid has all the skills but can only put in the effort for 5 minutes out of 48... is that really an all time talent?

He's just a skilled guy but doesn't have the stamina to use his skills so he's nothing but a foul baiter. That's not all time talent, that's someone living off the softest whistle in the league and who would be trash in the 80s facing players just as strong as him but with without the whistle to bail him out as he is gassed 5 minutes into any game.

this has to make Philly fans sick. Main piece of the trade not playing. Drummond laughing his ass off. Seth playing like prime Klay. 5 steals and 1 block WTF

He still has no in-between game and he’s being tasked with being the primary playmaker & perimeter scorer.

It’s gonna be a glorious flameout.

Wow. The refs have to stop carrying Embiid this is horrible for the game of basketball.

Let him earn it on the court. Or let him fail on the court like I suspect he would without the refs carrying him.

This was a shooting foul lmao

The Celtics game was worse believe it or not. In these big games where he’s losing he just falls down. The thing is, the man is actually skilled enough to not do that.

Embiid and Harden are twins at this point in their career not that Harden's offensive skills have taken a hit with this athleticism falling off in his 30s.

They are both quiters and their offensive game is great when things are great... and just flopping when things are somewhat challenging... and just quitting completely if things are bad.

On another note: Some Philly fans bought tickets for $4000 just to see the Sixers get their ass kicked lmaoooo

They got to yell some mean words at Ben Simmons though!

And he didn’t even play! So what was the point? :lol:

Has there ever been a more polarizing trade than the Nets and Sixers one? Division rivals. Both Ben and Harden are not the most beloved... The teams with Embiid, Irving and Durant are not the most beloved. It is such an interesting dynamic. As far as media storylines they couldn't be any happier.

Pure class. Curry has been the most likeable star in the league and best role model for some time now other than potentially the Greek Freak.

Playoff Harden showed up & Embiid did his usual good but not great in a big playoff atmosphere type game. Embiid baited for fouls almost the whole game, it was hard to watch.

Also turns out a 50% shooter from 3 in the playoffs is a pretty good pickup.

Who wins the big games?
