People thinking that was crazy. I seen 45-50 wins
Of the people who are in the top 10 of 3 pointers made, James harden has the 2nd lowest 3pt%. Lebron James has the lowest. If you expand it to the top 20 of 3 pointers made, James Harden has the 4th lowest 3pt%. Lebron James is still the lowest % out of the 20.
All Philly had to do to truly become a contender was A) trade a point guard who can't shoot beyond five feet but is also scared of shooting layups to avoid going to the FT line B) trade the biggest diva in basketball history who is the hallmark of putting up empty stats and choking in the playoffs when it matters most (oh and frequenting strip clubs instead of hitting the gym) and C) fire a coach whose blown more playoff series leads than any other coach in NBA history. Not rocket science
Okay but Jokic averaged 9.2 assists last year and won the title without too much issue. Nice parameters set at 10 assists.
Also if we want to set it to just reaching the finals:
Stockton did it twice with over 10 assists.
Jason Kidd did it with 9.2 assists (led the league) in 2002-03.
James Harden lost to the KD warriors in 2016-17 and led the league in assists.
Just saying "big assists numbers" bad for team is absurd.
Its obviously just the coach. Sixers have been stacked even without James. Everyone knows Doc sucks hes just a motivational speaker
Still wont be winning a Chip with Embiids feeble mentality
The sixers signing kawhi would be absolutely hilarious.
Alright. Removing my like once I heard that Maxey-maximising line. You deserved to be pun-ished
Lmao I be back when embiid chokes in the 2nd round again like he was doing way before harden got there but lol keep believing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ive said it before, and ill say it again. harden is the best worst player ever. he's so good that he doesnt leave room for anyone else on the team, causing games to be 5v1. prime harden might be the GOAT with the ball in his hands, but he's also the WOAT without it.
harden can make any bad team decent, but he will also make any good team worse.
I wonder if this is going to be the end of the lead guard "engine player" (Nash, Harden, Westbrook) why run an "engine" through a guard when players like Jokic exist.
Nick Nurse is going to be pivotal in Maxeys development in the next couple seasons. Embiid is talented, but also aging and injury prone. Slowly building up Maxey and picking the right pieces around him is important. Its kinda like Minnesota balancing the time tables of both Edwards growth and Towns prime years to maximize their window
That “maxey-mizing” joke had me throwing tomatoes at my phone.
I want to see the record after 20/30 games for now is a short sample size, just a losing streak of 2/3 games and they go from 9-3 to 9-6…
Well, they got 300 pounds lighter, first off…
The Sixers have become a much more enjoyable team to watch. The team looks so much more connected on both ends of the floor.
They just got owned by there daddy Al horford
Nurse has been the biggest factor. Hes not only unlocked Maxey and Embiid but players like Tobias Harris and other role players who were always held back by Rivers incompetent system
stop counting out the Heat they somehow look even better this season
Harden is a drama queen with his best years squarely behind him. It's only a matter of time before we start hearing rumblings from the Clips about some random drama with him at the center. How do we know? His track record. He does it everywhere. He will still put up points. He will still contribute. But eventually his BS will do what it does everywhere he goes.
I always listen to Rusty Buckets with my Raycon Everyday Earbuds 😤
It’s sad slandering harden for clicks when they were awful the years before harden and nurse but blaming harden for a coach is sick business
Tyrese Maxey went the same high school as my dad
I totally agree, but isn't "Maxeymizing" opportunities synonymous with being a playmaker?
Everyone gets better without James harden
It's nuclear nurse. Embiid just needs cutters to cut, and he will make plays. If not he just needs to shoot or draw a foul, which is just as efficient as a covington, Melton, or Batur layup
pennies on the dollar?
the value Philly got back in the trade was more like 90 pennies to the dollar on current value 😂
but give it another 3-5 years and those 90 pennies will become $3
Wait until season progresses then make an analysis if they really got better or not
