    So when harden not taking a shot people bashed him, and now he take the shot and people said, he must played with the team, not just i i i i.. What???

      The media just hates harden.

      the Media is a harden hater on everything he does.

      The media knows talking Anything negative about the Sixers is going to bring clicks. That’s why they’re overreacting to them being O-2

      I thought I was the only one who had noticed this…….. Last season every media person with a mouth was criticizing harden about how he’s washed, he can’t score, he doesn’t deserve the money and so on…… Now t he boy is back shooting and making plays at the same time. This is the definition of hate plus they feel too ashamed to give him his flowers. Most of them are hypocrites …… Why don’t y’all tell Jason Tatum and jalen brown and luka to shoot less ……

    Giannis is better. From a fellow Cameroonian American.

    Joel Embiid had to setting a pick and rolls, double team, less free throws, costant shots, passions, energy, and playing with a lot more aggressiveness to fixing his mechanics and making a communication screens plays in transitions and defense to step up 100%

      @Mark Armage I didn’t know Nuggets lost three games in a row. Didn’t they beat the Warriors in SF? Come on tiny man. Now your finding excuses. What’s next? Embiid is gassed out? Did Embiid know any of the players who are playing for the tanking Spurs? Hey at least Sixers were the pre-season champions 😂😂😂😂

    • Mark Armage

      October 22, 2022 at 10:11 pm

      @Rw Ds Nuggets played 2 games and they lost one, against the Utah Jazz.
      Jokic doesn’t know any of those guys as well.
      Anomalies happen, learn real math, pal.

    • Rw Ds

      October 22, 2022 at 10:41 pm

      @Mark Armage Learn what an anomaly before start using the word tiny. 0-3 is not 2-1 (pretty soon). Oh, forgot still hasn’t graduated to learn ratios. Let’s get through 3rd grade maths, ok. 😂 By the way I hate Jokic. I’m sure Jokic knows who Markanan, Conaly, Sexton and Jordan Clarkson. 😂😂 Maybe you don’t as you struggle to learn 3rd grade Maths out of all things.

    • Mark Armage

      October 22, 2022 at 11:27 pm

      @Rw Ds They did lost to the Jazz.
      Sixers happened to lost the Spurs while losing to 2 contenders in a close game.
      Pretty sure Jokic doesn’t know who those guys are, it’s a tanking team, they announced it when they traded away all the stars.
      Go learn real math, pal.

    • Rw Ds

      October 22, 2022 at 11:52 pm

      @Mark Armage Keep Sixers non accountable for their losses by finding ludicrous excuses of other teams that have zero relevance to the Sixers. Enjoy another season of mediocracy while you brush up on mathematics. Good luck. I’m out.

    Philly’s biggest problem is Doc Rivers

    • Rw Ds

      October 21, 2022 at 5:30 pm

      Wrong. Easy option to say right. It’s Joel Embiid. Joel will never play 20+ post season games. Tatum/Curry played 20+ post season games and only one got a ring. The other reason is he is a liability in the crunch time with turnovers. The guy never improved with passing out of a doubled.

    • Jason Seay

      October 22, 2022 at 6:32 am

      Agreed

    • Jason Seay

      October 22, 2022 at 6:32 am

      It’s the LA sixers 😂😂

    • blablablaa

      October 22, 2022 at 7:23 am

      @Rw Ds You remember how last year Doc kept Embiid in a post season game that they were winning by 20 points and it was 4 minutes to go. Then Embiid got injured and missed games and it ended their season? Yeah that’s on Doc not on Embiid. He put his player at unnecessary risk

    • Rw Ds

      October 22, 2022 at 7:25 pm

      @blablablaa Embiid can get injured any day any time. With that same argument you can’t play him at any time. You happen to pick a situation that pointed at Doc. His job is to play in the paint all the time and dominate. That’s what Shaq did all the time. If he can’t do that all the time then he is constant liability

  5. Dwight Batro

    October 21, 2022 at 4:55 pm

    Embiid hits the floor way to much. Like dawg you to big for that. He should be giving out punishment nightly

    • Robert hall

      October 21, 2022 at 5:55 pm

      He plays way 2 soft for a dude who can domante like giannis but he just doesn’t settles to much for jumpers and dribbles around the perimeter

    • L K

      October 21, 2022 at 7:15 pm

      ​@Robert hall and flops if someone even breaths near him 🤣

    • MackFromPA

      October 21, 2022 at 11:29 pm

      The trainer and team doctors tell him to hit the floor to soften the blow on his limbs

    • Mike Byers

      October 24, 2022 at 12:03 am

      He flops more that Marcus Smart

    Please Fire Malika Andrews 👍🏿

  7. Balla

    October 21, 2022 at 5:13 pm

    They asked for the old James Harden alllllll last season and when he show up its a problem lol nawl yall turn to learn how to score cause he ballin

  8. Cordell Williams

    October 21, 2022 at 5:13 pm

    Joel would fit better in Miami and Bam would fit better in Philly. Spo and Jimmy like half court style play while Harden likes up tempo and screen and roll style play that Bam fits better playing.

    • Zayn Rivers

      October 21, 2022 at 5:27 pm

      Honestly that’s so true. I would love that trade, both Philly & Miami are trying to win now bc of Embiid & Butler. They would be better as teammates again. The Heat keep waiting for Bam to take the jump offensively but if it doesn’t happen this year, they should try to package him for Embiid & see what happens. I can see Embiid asking out of Philly eventually

    • Zayn Rivers

      October 21, 2022 at 5:33 pm

      Plus it’s a good trade for Philly cuz they can adjust their timeline & build around Bam & Tyrese Maxey as their future

  9. zane risk

    October 21, 2022 at 5:17 pm

    When Harden doesn’t look like himself “it’s oh Harden is done” when Harden looks like himself and is playing like that Rockets Harden “Oh he’s selfish doesn’t think about the team” none of these media ppl will ever be happy with him.

  10. Ron C

    October 21, 2022 at 5:17 pm

    Embiid is a quiter. When times get tough he’s a bluff. It’s happened for 2 years…. At least.

    • K_Hack

      October 21, 2022 at 5:59 pm

      That’s an outright lie.

    • Mike Blaze

      October 21, 2022 at 7:20 pm

      @K_Hack people just say anything

  11. Omen River

    October 21, 2022 at 5:19 pm

    Perk is full of sh*t. Blame Harden??? Really?

  12. Dee Trease

    October 21, 2022 at 5:30 pm

    Sometimes I wonder if they even watch the games. Harden didn’t play selfish at all the 76ers couldn’t score and joel was terrible. harden had to put up 30 to keep the game close.

  13. Zachary Roach

    October 21, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    Doc is philly issue

  14. Westley Stone

    October 21, 2022 at 6:16 pm

    Maxey should lead the second unit. He need to be free.

    • Rw Ds

      October 21, 2022 at 6:52 pm

      He is going to get annoyed pretty soon if he gets inhibited from growing his skill set. Lakers and Rich Paul are always looking for a great point guard. When is he due for an extension?

    • Westley Stone

      October 21, 2022 at 6:56 pm

      @Rw Ds this is his third year so soon. And I agree man. That’s why I think being the primary option with the second unit would be so good for him and his growth instead of just standing there waiting for Harden. He can start games and finish games but pull him a little early and have him come back in when Harden and Embiid sit to just be the Lou Will of our team.

    • Rw Ds

      October 21, 2022 at 8:32 pm

      @Westley Stone Agreed

    • Rw Ds

      October 22, 2022 at 7:16 am

      Harden has taken 302 dribbles so far. That’s more than the rest of the team combined. This is going to look like Philadelphia Rockets with Morey and Harden. Warned you Joel about this 😤

  15. KoalaK

    October 21, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    man the harden hate on ESPN is unreal. first he can’t lead a team, then he suck, now he cant be a good teammate. LOL

  16. CMS V

    October 21, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    They don’t want Harden out shining Embiid because most of these so called analysts aside from Perk and CB don’t want to give Giannis his 3rd MVP 🤣🤝🏿

  17. MackFromPA

    October 21, 2022 at 11:33 pm

    You would think smart analyst would not overreact to a 0-2 start considering the Sixers are filled in basically a brand new team and they’re playing two of the top teams in the East who have largely had the same team for multiple years. This is how you know ESPN reports things that they think will get clicks whenever someone talks. Anything negative about the Sixers, It gets clicks because the process rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Simple as that.

  18. Peter

    October 22, 2022 at 11:40 am

    Harden has back to MVP form. He is real big and MVP. Embiid drops a lot.

  19. PJ Tagle

    October 22, 2022 at 12:04 pm

    They not a good fit simple as that, james ballin ryt now close to mvp form and hes takin away shots from embid. These are two ball dominant players.

  20. Cipher Lord Bless!!!

    October 22, 2022 at 2:09 pm

    ITS LITERALLY ONLY GAME 2 OF 82!!!!

    Can we just get Lowe, Windhorst, woj, and Reddick on their own show? Maybe add Greeny and J Will?

    Doc will turn it around and win another ring. He’s the best and greatest coach ever!

    Embiid is a slug and will never be mvp doesn’t have a good mindset
