The 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs Thread

There were all these stories about ten days ago about how Harden might be willing to take a little less and I was like this does not look like a man who ever takes less under any circumstances.

harden's a Guy, once a Guy always a Guy

here come the boos

Harden's going to get a little Philly tonight.

Philly a bunch a of romantics, booing one moment, on their feet the next.

basically maxey needs to block all the vibes and just shoot 30 times imo

Wow dreadful start to the 4th

rip sixers

rough go for joel sick season to totally efed up in one playoff series

distrust the process

This is fine.

That's it

Well it was already it but that was it it

damn man

embiid's injuries made this inevitable but man philly's roster is a mess going forward

Shoulda kept Jimmy smh

as doc rivers will tell you this was not his fault in any way shape or form

Harden with 0 in that 2nd half

wow man

Shoulda kept Jimmy smh

They kept Simmons and Harris instead, u see.

xp

One of the bigger takeaways from this series is just how noticeably better Jimmy Butler is than James Harden at this point.

looking forward to doc throwing harden under the bus

laying the “series changed when embiid came back” narrative to rest. good night, sweet prince

It did change just not enough

harden's gonna make $47m next season, on the plus side it's a contract year lol

Harden had one pretty good game all playoffs?

i personally wont get out of bed for less than 48 million

I mean since the first week of the trade really…

it was really just one good quarter

That sequence to start the 4th when they had worked to cut it to 11 before the quarter ended

Oh my god

Would you rather be stuck with Harden or Westbrook next year?

Westbrook at least tries I guess

harden can shoot in theory

i mean the good news most teams will not have to choose between them bc they can continue not employing them in peace

westbrook def the bigger net negative but it's a real whatever the opposite of a sophie's choice is

Morey's choice.

I'd rather hang out with Westbrook

One night with Harden, a friendship with Westbrook, maybe.

I’ve been a vocal Harden supporter for years and I’ve never been more disappointed in him than now. If he’s not scoring like before he needs to play with more activity off-ball and effort on defense. Get in shape and reinstall his OKC era habits. That's how to thrive with Embiid. pic.twitter.com/v3cgDGbwPM

tell me again why i should take you seriously?

Jimmy Butler just said he wishes he was still on Joel Embiid’s team and he loves him. Wow.

I mean imagine choosing Ben Simmons and Brett Brown over Jimmy Butler.

lol kudos

James Harden missed a floater with 8:54 left in the first quarter -- the Danny Green injury play. That was the last 2-pointer that Harden took for the rest of the elimination game.

harden playing in philly down 3-2 is exactly what i wanted to see from him even divorced from my status as a heat fan and he went out on an 11-4-9 on 9 shots. he either is completely at peace with his life regardless of what ppl say about him as a basketball player or is so lost that he can’t even save himself from himself. but i just can’t ever worry about the sixers, as an opposing fan, if he’s on the team

ya he’s good
