      He almost single handledly carried you guys to the finals against a super stacked warriors team, if not for the trash referring Rockets would’ve beaten them in 6

    What makes ppl think harden will step up? He has such a one dimensional playstyle that can be shut down

    I so hope the Raptors knock the Sixers out in the first round…but then they’ll spin it as the Raptors didn’t win…it was the Sixers that lost. Raptors are the most disrespected team in the league no matter how much they achieve. Sad…

    Take with a grain of salt OR a whole salt lick…lol. Raps fan since before we had the Raps. 40+ years of playing, coaching and always watching…..The Raps are gonna win the Philly series in 6/7 and lose next round to Miami in 6/7. For real…they can give both real troubles…watch and remember when they put Philly out and remember when Miami’s really struggling with Raps. If all ur ball knowledge comes from ESPN….U gonna be shocked. LET’S GO RAPTORS!

    So just missing on purpose for Embid 🤡🤙🏽

    • Jordan

      Or taking vigorously less shots and averaging like 13 assists since he got there.

    Harden looking like some mid. He’s a 1 trick pony now since he can’t get by people. And I’m a 76ers fan

    I didn’t used to like Stephen a Smith because I figured he was full of nonsense now I listen and nod my head

    Kendrick Perkins was just making up a story how Ben Simmons couldn’t stop Trae Young even know Trae Young at 21 points on 20% shooting and 18% from the three-point line he said Ben Simmons couldn’t stop him but yet he believes James Harden is going to step in the playoffs and James Harden has never did that yet! That’s because he made a big deal out of this trade n he doesn’t wanna be wrong! He was passive? The dude shot three of 14 how many times? Kendrick you’re just making yourself sound stupid today with your takes! He only shot 14 times he only made three of them tho😂😂

  12. joe peters

    April 11, 2022 at 3:07 pm

    I guarantee you if the 76ers make that coaching swap Stephen will start screaming racism😂😂🤡

    April 11, 2022 at 3:15 pm

    Embid was averaging 30pts before James HELP ….Perk making excuses 😂😂😂

    Harden ALWAYS get opens shots and his free throws….. it’s a make or miss league. But his assist’s will always be at the top of the league

    Philly ain’t winning no championship. They traded the bench away.

  17. Rob Cz

    April 11, 2022 at 5:06 pm

    I don’t think their current roster is built for a championship so Harden can do whatever he wants they are not winning this year

  18. SewacideP

    April 11, 2022 at 5:27 pm

    Who dont wanna see us out in the first rd?🤣 not gonna happen,Harden played passive for a reason,Tise is out the lineup,now they gotta worry about Reed..see you second rd

    People acting like Harden is going to be the saviour of the 76ers. He couldn’t save the team even with a pocket full of coupons. He has NEVER performed in the playoffs. EVER! Why do so many think he will push the 76ers over the top against the Raptors? He has never proven he can. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.

      He took one of the greatest teams ever to 7 GAMES lamo you said never stop 🤣🤣☠☠

    • Evan Avis

      April 11, 2022 at 9:22 pm

      @Samuel Njenga Did he win? No? Then never, buddy.

    Sixers gotta get to the ECF to get whooped by the Nets. I want to see Ben Simmons lock up Harden, dunk on Embiid at least once, and I want Seth to go crazy from 3.

    Again who cares about Steven A perk has played Steven A hasn’t played why does he get to have a opinion

    I’m a sixers fan and I’m happy we have Harden… What I like about Harden is that he tries even tho he’s having a off night… Ben Simmons in a off night stands around and does nothing on the offensive end 🤦‍♂️

    • melian9999

      April 11, 2022 at 9:10 pm

      On offense he tries if the ball is in his hands, but the man is a pylon on D, doesnt run around to get open barely sets a pick, and has lost a step. Good luck with that

    • Clark Kent

      April 11, 2022 at 9:18 pm

      @melian9999 again you need to watch Ben Simmons in the playoffs to know what I mean lol… yeah he has lost his steps but him attempting to shoot is still a threat on the offensive end and teams can’t sagg off him to double embiid like they used to when Ben was around… I’ll take that over Ben every time lol

    Stephen a is comedy 😂

    Perk that was really the best excuse you can come up with ? 😂 thought this was the 2nd coming of Kobe and Shaq and ok say he is trynna get embiid the mvp or whatever atleast be efficient atleast don’t average the same amount of turnover as shots made in a span of 7 games

  25. Victor Wakili

    Perk should be ashamed for this 😂😂😂
