Gained alot of respect for harden. Took a pay cut, got in the best shape of his career since his prime rehabbing an injury, playing winning team first basketball and showing up bigtime in the playoffs to practically save the sixers season. He was committed on defense this game and the gesture he made after the game earned a lot of respect. What a class act!
@Philadelphia Eagles facts people just want to hate. I use to be a Lebron hater because of his fan base who always want to compare him to Jordan without mentioning Kobe. But as I grew older I start to just appreciate his game even more especially after losing Kobe. It’s going to be a sad day seeing LeBron retire. Idc who hates or like him you have to respect his greatness.
Harden isn’t old or really out of his prime. Just in a different role than Houston. I bet he could average 30 and 10 next year with him as the first option.
Harden for the 2nd time in this series came up big when PHI needed it the most. 42pts 8RBS 9Assists 🔥. He's going to have to do this more consistently for this team to win this series.
@@RafaMata. you never know what you get from Harden in the playoff, based on history it usually was a stinker, he is getting old so time is running out to prove himself
Most underrated and overhated player of our generation. Every one seems to enjoy when he plays bad and here he is carrying the 76ers with all the hate he received
As a warriors fan I appreciate this guy's effort on his team especially during his rockets era, I'll bet that sixers is going to win this nba's championship
Yo chill harden! 42 point almost triple double, clutch bucket after bucket. After that masterpiece in game 1. And a class act inviting that shooting victim. I don't wanna hear anyone (including myself) badmouth this man ever again!
What’s crazy about this, was that Harden led the entire league in assists this season. For the second time in his career. People think Harden’s only value is scoring, so when he doesn’t score a lot, they push blame on him. But they don’t realize his Playmaking and rebounding are big parts of his game, and a 35 y/o Harden shouldn’t be expected to be the 76ers top scorer in a playoff series.
This NOT his best game or playoff game. The man has had a HOF career, and saying shit like that discredit all his accomplishments. The same man that lead the Rockets to the West with absolute scrubs on the team.
@@lekzintshering7666 lol you clearly dont know harden then so let me show you 1) his 61/15/4/4 game against new york nicks 2) his 61 /9assist performance agianst spurs on 31 attempts 3) his 60 point game against hawks in just 31 minutes 4)his 60 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists game against orlando magics 5)his 59/16/17 game and 3 out of these performance were in a single season and he also has 5 50+ point triple double and in 2018 this dude averaged 52 ppg for a month and had 9 50+ points so clearly this was not his best game and talking about playoff he has 5 game of 44 points in his playoff career and around 11 40 + point games in playoffs this could have been his best game if he wasn't focused on giving embiid 30 points
He's REWRITING his playoff history and commentary. He's won you two games this series. So doc Rivers and the role players need to win you one and embiid needs to win one. Embiid helped alot but when it mattered at the end of the 4th, what al horford did to him was UNACCEPTABLE
The offense needs to run through Harden. Embiid is clearly not comfortable with double teams. Doc needs to realize this & make adjustments. PJ Tucker showed his leadership down the stretch & literally saved the series for them with his hustle 💯
@@readmycomment3707 Been plenty comfortable all season. His knee is beat up as usual. You miss the real point. Embiid is amazing until he breaks down inevitably.
@@nndayo6408 Embiid is dominating Horford and the Celtics and has done so all season. You people are casuals who know nothing about basketball. He’s scored 47 and 52 this year against Boston while getting double teamed the whole time. And the Celtics players have said multiple times that they are guarding him as a comittee. All five guys are guarding just to throw the kitchen sink at him. No other player in this league gets that treatment. Only the MVP. The man was gassed by the fourth quarter cuz he was at 40 mins already like halfway thru the quarter playing on a knee that needs surgery. And Doc admitted he ran Embiid too much yesterday in the postgame. Embiid’s haters love to just hate without actually watching the game. Yaw just talk huh. Yaw just like to throw negativity out there and see if it sticks huh???
Love Harden!!! Always have!! That’s a real franchise player that can and has taken a team on his back to and through the playoffs. And without another super player!!!!

Lets go.. Bro was going in.. Winning every matchup they through at him, willing the team back down the stretch.. that's what we need
Whoever said that harden is not made for playoff they haven't see him play he almost defeated greatest team in nba history gsw with kd give him his respect
James harden been prime harden though. If you watch his games he focuses on playmaking and getting everyone involved. Led the NBA in assistant for most of the season. Main reason embiid wins MVP. This dude been hated on over and over but damn put some respect on his name!
I’ve been following James forever and he’s never ever been this consistent in the playoffs I thought he was going to be a career playoff underperformer his whole damn career I hope I’m wrong
Feast or famine. James really delivered tonight. As a Sixers fan, I don't need James from Game 1 and 4 every night. We just can't have Game 2 or 3 James. Bigtime win. They need to steal game 5 and win in 6. 7 games might be too big a mountain to climb. That said, the Sixers have been overcoming the odds all season. Definitely the most locked in Embiid-era Sixers squad I've seen.
Sixers win if Harden scores 40 + points and losses if less than 20 so the focal point of offense of the Sixers must come from Harden if they want to advance in the Conference Finals and NBA finals
People forget the only reason Harden hasn't won a ring in the West was because he kept running into the Warriors dynasty and unlucky circumstances (CP3's injury). He's THAT guy.
I just feel like harden iq and experience playing 8 years for houston and the years with okc showing rn just the more experience established player in this series its like how steph did them in the finals and how bulter and greek took them to 7 last year they just young team young coach two superstars great role players but play with no discipline at the end of games they play like they can just turn it own and off which they can but its the playoffs for a reason they have to do better or it gone blow up qnd there face

ur forgetting the 4 steals n 1 block, 2 of those steals came in late clutch moments. Give the man props but he needs to keep this mindset every game.
