ATL - Ham Slamwich to the Lakers

Credit Embiid for battling at least but he's not really helping anymore.

Harden has given them nothing which is the biggest issue. Morey should not extend him.

Man, Harden's drop off has been an all timer.

PJ getting orebs with Embiid right there, sums him up

Shoulda took the Sacramento package, Daryl!

Just turned the game on and hearing the commentators refer to Harden as a "non factor" and counting how many times Embiid hits the floor is pretty amazing.

I always enjoy seeing Harden fail but I do feel a little bad for Embiid, despite some of his flopping antics.

Call me a homer, but I still either Boston or Milwaukee will handle Miami with relative ease

Have a feeling Doc won't be coaching the Sixers after this game

All things considered, it's pretty wild that Embiid's never made it out of the 2nd round.

Harden’s def declined physically, but I think his bigger problem now is mental or something.

It’s as if never getting over the hump in HOU, plus the ignominious BKN experience broke his spirit or smthing.

He should still be more effective than he is, physical decline notwithstanding.

Harden and the Sixers have a tough decision to make this offseason. He might be able to get one more decent payday based on name alone, but he's played so bad down the stretch that maybe he won't want to risk it by opting out?

He should just take a one year low deal and play with us as a 6th man, to recoup some value.

If they give Harden the supermax and/or keep Doc Rivers in the off season he won't make it any time soon in current East.
Bucks, Celtics, Miami and even the Raptors, Nets will always give them problem and no 2nd round will be easy in the next 5 years.

Strus scares me more than Butler in a hypothetical ECF matchup.

Or once he doesn't get the superstar foul bailouts and foul baiting isn't rewarded in the play offs he's not sure what to do?

62 million for James Harden in 2027 will be awesome.

I hate Heat Culture but watching the Sixers get blasted with no effort on their home floor in an elimination game is legitimately hilarious.

Tucker is feasting off back cuts while Harden ball watches.

I want Harden re-upped to a mega-contract in Philly so, so badly.
