Harden on His way to Round 2, while Kyrie and Durant are in Cancun 

Post#1 » by Hussien Fatal » Fri Apr 29, 2022 2:39 am

Harden showed up great in this elimination game at that, he also played great defense on his way to the first ever 22, 15 and 5 playoff game in sixers history.

The Nets are a mess no wonder Harden forced his way to Philly.

Harden was amazing tonight. +38 as he carved up the strong Raps defense all night long.

Miami take heed!

The Nets are a mess partially because he forced his way out.

If you're a Sixers fan, be careful. He's not who you think he is. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he didn't sign with them.

This Miami series is gonna be must watch TV, a lot of different dynamics. Butler vs his old team, Lowry vs his hometown, Embiid vs Bam Maxey vs Herro…a lot to like.

I’m willing to bet the house he picks up his option and stays in Philly.

Kyrie is toxic and drove Harden away.

Should have kept Harden and traded Kyrie.

I have no idea why teams can't seem to get the message on Irving. The dude is cancer.

Most likely yes, it wouldn't be some big shock to me if he didn't though.

A more likely possibility is, he gets into an argument with Embiid and forces his way out.

Can you blame him ? Kyrie was the issue in Brooklyn. He tried atleast

People are mistaken his lack of scoring aggression and being a pass first player for being washed. Look at his numbers just this season when he has attempted 20 or more shots. 30 points 11 assists and 10 boards

He forced his way out because one of the players on your team refused to get vaccinated and missed most of the season. If Kyrie wasn't a moron, Harden would still be on your team.

He's lost a level of consistency with his play that he used to have. He can turn up and kill it like he did tonight, but he can still have games where you're almost better with him not on the floor, where he seems disengaged.

Not sure how or if he can get that consistency back into his game.

Well Nets did play a MUCH better team AND are missing 1 of their 3 best players (Ben) soooo there's that...

I love my Raptors but if I'm a top 4 team, I'm not feeling so proud or boastful about beating a team you're supposed to. Now if the Sixers can dust MIA, then you got my attention and respect.

On the otherhand if you're bounced in the 2nd round AGAIN, then did you really "win" the trade especially when it's highly unlikely Harden improves with age & mileage. On the flipside, I fully expect the Nets to get better for at least the next 2-3 seasons.

Unless PHI can at MINIMUM make the Finals, it's hard to anoint anyone a "winner" of this trade just yet.

Correction, you had some morons saying McCollum + Covington + Curry + Drummond + 2 Philly 1st Round Picks + 2 Portland 1st Round Picks could have been the better fit :)
