There was no point in being concerned, upset, angry or surprised about it. There was no chance of him shaking it off, turning it around or even toughing his way through it this was who Uno was going to be for the remainder of the contest and we just had to deal with it. But while Embiid's continued decrepitude was concerning, upsetting, angering and (most importantly) surprising, Harden's crappiness was just Another One of Those Harden Games. The Sixers were going to have to figure out how to succeed with that particular arm tied behind their back.Īs it turned out, both he and Joel Embiid were miserable for all 48 of that one. He had been quite bad for the first two quarters, and there was no doubt at all he was going to stay as such for the remaining two. But one thing I will always remember about his Philly tenure is how halfway through Game Seven against the Celtics, it became clear that to win the game, we were going to have to do so with him being terrible the whole way. It won't be the only thing I remember about James Harden as a Sixer, or even the main thing.
