The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[Mark Antony]

you gotta stop being bitter in this thread every chance you get cause you had differences with a few people in that thread. it's weird, bro

Or at least keep it there. I swear it's mostly just him and another weirdo just typing up nonsense, but you can easily skip it there.

It's crazy that Harden still has people defending him or expecting him to perform at a high level in the playoffs

 

[dacomeup]

Nba players cant enjoy life ?

Yall so weird lol

Sixers series got over April 22nd..

Going to Vegas in the middle of the playoffs is the most James Harden thing ever . Makes sense why he’s going back to Houston

It's what sports fans do. Always easy to convince yourself it's gonna be different when it's your team.

"but it's not a weekend so..."

[Moheezy]

Why is he even in Las Vegas right now?

Because he's channeling his Houston Harden, this is part of the process.

it was one night and the sixers dont play again until Monday night.. they dont play this weekend they play Monday

yall reaching so damn hard its hilarious

i understand noone likes harden or the sixers but man yall are wildin

if anything id say that locked him in

 

[airmax1fanatic]

As much as I know KAT would be an upgrade to Mitch, I rather get an all-star level wing player like Jaylen Brown or Mikal Bridges.

 

[nick.]

There's been a lot of time between series for Philly. I don't really care that much if he wants to give back to the community for a couple nights.

But it's also just not a great look. Coming off a bad playoff series, flying across the country, while your co-star is nursing a pretty serious injury.

"Where's the food bruv?"

 

[Moheezy]

They wouldn't have done this without the consent of Adam Silver and he always wanted to change the broadcasting landscape. I hope this is the first of the domino effect.

On the flip side, it could go the other way around like what MSG is doing...

The series against Miami was probably his worst to date but here we are. Not even so much him being in Vegas but just you pretty much know for a fact he's gonna disappoint and it comes off like he knows it too so might as well live it up

A typical performance from him where he doesn't live up to expectations and is seen at strip clubs after losing.

Harden under the microscope so Tobias can duck the slander

the same he been doing all season long for the sixers which had them the 2nd or 3rd best record in the league for the 2nd half of the season when everyone was healthy

avg around 21-24 points

avg 8+ assists

avg 5-6 rebounds

While shooting 41% from 2 and 38% from 3

Harden avg 25.5 vs celtics this year wwith 9 assist on 47.5% and 42.4% from 3

guys like Tobias and Maxey willl need to step up and not avg 10 points

so that is what EYE am expecting.. bet ya did expect this response though

thats fine EYE am not negative like our very own amitt5504

EYE got no problem being wrong

i go in with high expectations its nothing new

 

[storm2006]

IMO Harden's play might not even matter if the Sixers are missing the league MVP for Game 1 and potentially Game 2 on the road .

I wish Jordan had to deal with social media.

It’s different now, he’s not the go to scorer. He may even be the #3 scoring option after Embiid and Maxey.

He’s our facilitator so we don’t expect him to iso and take a gazzillion contested step back 3s. He’s minimized the foul bating (thank god) which typically bites him in the playoffs.

We do need him to make a damn layup tho…that’s my main concern with him. If he’s not a threat that way due to his Achilles, then we have a problem.
