re: Has there ever been an NBA player teetering on greatness/irrelevancy as much as Hardwn?

Boom will claim if the 76ers don’t get swept it will be the equivalent to Harden winning 10 consecutive championships. I say that jokingly but it wouldn’t surprise me if Babylon Boom made that argument.

If Embiid is playing I have already said they will win the series. That was assuming jo misses the first two games only.

that’s a little gamesmanship if you ask me.

He cleared concussion protocol. And has been fitted for a mask. What else would keep him out? it wouldn’t the thumb he has been playing with a bad thumb already.

he has a teammate good Enough so he can’t be double teamed every possession, yes. The numbers for rd 1 have been posted probably 3 times. Harden was better “when it mattered most” so far as a sixer.

A true Robin is someone like CP3 in HOU who Literally never outplayed his Batman in a series when they shared the court.

The advanced stats you harp on were either even with embiid or a marginal adv to Harden. Embiid was a far better scorer of the basketball and had a light years better game score than Harden.

So that makes Harden an Alfred since Embiid and Maxey are clearly the 76ers two best players.

The eye test oftentimes underrated playmaking and overrated scoring. The numbers don’t lie. Especially when they all say the same thing.

The best years for KD were from 2010-2015 and his absolute best season was 2015 when he was 25. Not sure how you wouldn't consider his time in that 5 period his prime when you consider all those advanced stats you love


Lol. Durant’s best years were 15-19. He sacrificed stats, MVP votes and scoring titles.

Don’t undermine his destruction of the Cavs title run.

So advanced stats only matter if they help an argument but once they go against an argument they are no longer relevant

For the record I agree with you but the "advanced stats" driven fanboys would have to say that his seasons in OKC were better

Shouldn't a true Robin who is the best offensive player in the NBA be able to muster up more than 36 points in 2 games without his Batman?

Quiet shel! They're defending Harden super tough. Tougher than any elite scorer has ever been defended before! Don't you know the Heat are the greatest defensive team of all time?!!?
