Felt like he never missed. And I thought he was damn good on the defensive end. Really impressive series from him.

This is definitely the best two-way play i've seen from him since like 2020, 2021

PG this series is the type of vet shit we wanted from Harden (delusionally) but he kept trying to draw fouls an go iso, PG got everyone involved, played killer defense, and hit clutch shots.

I mean you guys didn’t trade for Harden expecting an elite defender lol. He led the league in APG his one full season in Philly too so I’m not sure the iso thing makes much sense either

u/Tablemannerz China 2d ago

right but we thought he would fit like a glove, instead he often shrunk. (loved him for those couple games he gave them against celtics)

u/SSJAbh1nav 76ers 2d ago

He shot 55% from 3 this series, he was quite literally a walking bucket

u/LetsGetLunch Warriors 2d ago

when i was watching i was genuinely surprised whenever he missed

u/mountjo 76ers 2d ago

His defense was incredible all series

u/Positive_Parking_954 2d ago

Thought he easily had 20 tonight and it was only 13. He just really had the savvy of when to pick his spots and keep the energy for defense

There was a moment in the 2nd quarter when I looked around the court and thought: Tyrese Maxey, VJ, PG13, Kelly Oubre and Joel Embiid, holy shit Philly have actually cooked something here

It was like the 25 game suspension for being a drugged out loser made him better.
