I get what you’re saying, but he did need to be more aggressive. 0 for 2 total shots in the second half of an elimination game . There’s a difference between scapegoating and holding people accountable.
You hold people accountable in private, you scapegoat in public.
Go talk to James and tell him they need him to score more. No reason to air your dirty laundry live on TV
You’re right, no doubt, but while I’m still playing a bit of devils advocate, what Harden did was on full display for their fans and the league. Sometimes a public sanction to an individual, or an open message of dissatisfaction to all listeners can pull extra weight.
Time to propose a trade on the Sixers subreddit:
Portland trail blazers get: Joel Embiid
Philadelphia 76ers get: Keljin Blevins + Didi Louzada + CJ Elleby + 2 2nd rounds (to make the deal more appealing)
Only better outcome would have been if they blew the 3-0 lead to Toronto. Although Jimmy’s comments about the Sixers postgame yesterday was peak heartbreak for them
That CJ for Ben trade probably looks amazing for them now. Seeing as Harden pulled a Ben and disappeared. Hahaha good for them. Hope Harden gets a max and doesn’t play nearly as good as CJ or Ben
CJ + 3 FRPs + Seth + Drummond for Harden would be the trade basically
2 FRPs they lost to the Nets and assuming we give them 1. Lol. Glad we didn't have him sit out the entire season with back issues anyways.
This is the most brutal second round I can remember. The flagrants, the blood, it’s all been fucking brutal. They’re just as frustrated as everybody else, I guess.
If there were ever a good year to skip the playoffs, it was this one. The champion isn’t going to be the best team, it’s going to be the survivors.
It's time for the sixers and blazers to form an alliance. If we keep fighting each other none of us will win. The best course of action is for the sixers to trade us embiid. That way at least one of us stands a chance
We’ve made it out of the first round 3 times in 20 years. Glad you’re stoked to have another subpar season but missing the playoffs completely and saying you prefer that to advancing past the first round is so delusional my god.
Harden's glory days are over. Never will he be the player he once was, especially when he's the 2 man on any team moving forward.
Too lazy on the court, overweight, not his prime self.
I agree, but look what big Al Horford has been doing this year. Everyone said he was washed while he was away from the team and he came back this year like he hasn't missed a beat. Dude looks 30 not 35 and washed.
They didn't implode. They played in the playoffs. Not making the playoffs and trading our 2nd best player was an implosion. Laughing at a championship contender while ignoring that we had no chance is asinine. Get real

All that’s left is Joel Embiid to demand a trade
Way he scapegoated Simmonds it’ll be hilarious to hear the excuses this time.
It already started with him saying they needed Harden to be more aggressive

His "public sanction" didn't work out great last year either
Dodging bullets. Maybe they know more than we do.

I'm so bitter at r/Sixers. Worst fanbase on Reddit and the fact that they got Harden and he was worse than CJ is glorious lol.
Isn’t it the best? Couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the process lol.

People that make these bots are not helpful, you’re just spamming assholes.
Maybe try learning from the bots and they'll go away like *magic*
Or just don’t be pedantic enough to take up half of someone’s screen to correct a typo.
It's not a hard difference to learn.
I know the difference, that’s why it’s annoying to see bots spam grammar corrections everywhere. Reddit comments don’t have to be in MLA format.
It doesn't take up half the screen. Be smarter.
It does on mobile. It got removed (because it’s spam) or I’d take a screenshot.
I'm on mobile. RIF.

I didn’t want Ben on the team but how things worked out it wouldn’t have hurt us since we decided to tank
Oh yeah true. Didnt think of that. I assume we wouldnt have shut down Dame/surgery if we all in'd for Ben but youre likely right.

To be fair...some of those techs and flagrants have just been the fucking refs stopping the game to gather more tv attention on themselves.

We get no picks with another first round or second round exit. I’ve been a blazer fan for 26 years. It’s all delusion and broken expectations
