Only reason Harden had a great game cause there was no pressure. Dude chokes when his team's are favorite or in control of series so keep the same energy when Harden disappears.
Any more predictions guys???? 😂
Vintage Beard. Was great to hear skip call James a savant and a wizard. He gets so much slander it’s nice to see him get appreciated 👍🏾
Facts that was completely true about him*
Let's be honest the slander was well deserved, just like the praise is deserved now that he's showing up on the big Stage.
He not even a top 30 player when it come to the PLAYOFFS... Regular season is 1 thing but the name Harden will always go down in basketball lure if he produce consistent and win a Playoffs MVP...
@@lastshadowman no it never has been. Kobe playoff shoots percentage is 45, hardens was 43 but will probably go up after this playoff run. Massive misconception harden is bad in the playoffs
@@ericdarden1255 Kobe averages 45% in the playoffs and harden is 43%… such a casual take to say he doesn’t show up, the guy played the spurs and warriors dynasty’s lmao
Harden has a slower first step now, but he’s still one of the best in the league at what he does. Shows how great of a player he is that he is able to change his game for Joel and then turn it on when he needs to be the leader.
His first step is only slower cuz he’s playing at a higher weight
James is not in shape he needs to drop 17-25 Pounds.
They also fail to mention how this is the first hes been actually fully healthy since his hamstring injury
Not even sure he's fully healthy, been dealing with a sore Achilles but he's definitely healthier than last year
@@Bonezone84right but this is as healthy as hes ever been since 2021, he was still very efficient this year, and they cant realize if he just took more FTA on his current efficiency, he'd avg 28+ppg
@@sydguitar99 yeah he'd score more if he was the primary option on the team. I appreciate his role as a PG. As a sixers fan it's all we've ever wanted, a true PG with Embiid
@@Bonezone84
I get so angry, that we had Bum Simmons be a point guard all of those years. I'm glad too, Harden is doing point guard duty.
Harden never really fell off he just fell back so that Joel could shine. He played his role as the PG well
I Said that long time ago. He still the GOAT
Right and they think he's washed, he's still shooting at an efficient but he's taking damn near 10 less shots a game bc he wants to get the other guys involved
I completely disagree. He came there out of shape. He wasn't playing great in Brooklyn. He had a great game because it was no pressure or expectations for Philly to win without Embiid.
They dont wanna acknowledge the injury held him back cause they thought he was washed but they don’t wanna accept they was wrong
Exactly - same thing WADE did for LeBron… Harden Still a BIG problem regardless 🤧🤷🏾♂️
I feel like only Celtic fans understand what’s happening. We easily played good enough to win but our Achilles heel is that we switch everything and just allow teams to get whatever match up they want and it’s usually on Horford and then we leave him on an island. It’s why Steph destroyed us in the finals, it’s why Trae young started cooking us and it’s why James harden beat us last night
Hmmm 🤔
Hubris, they think they have the best defensive 1-5 and everyone can switch no matter what, you can’t blindly not make any adjustments
Nah it's cuz ya suck
Teams don’t necessarily have to play switch d to get switched on for one, and two you’re still only hyper focusing on your own team. The Sixers just played without Embiid and despite the win, he still proved he’s the mvp by how y’all started the game - it was straight line drives to the hole every time without any paint protection, and so Doc threw on a zone. Then Tatum started raining 3s. The paint points, big lead, and good shooting to start off the game that y’all had does not exist with Embiid.
I also bleed Green and concur! Sigh
That was fun, felt like I was back in 2017 watching houston James
This was where Ime comes in because the Celtics gone back to the bad habits lack of urgency on D and playing my turn basketball we're deadly when we move the ball Joe need to take control of the locker room he has to make adjustments in game 2 it's concerning 😔😥
Imes offense is still there....which isnt finals worthy
True
We did the same thing last year under IMe
@@BrocktaviusKingofNFC because they don’t have any playmakers.
They said kyrie was the problem
James Harden turned back the clock last night. Love to see it.
You could tell they haven't watched Harden all season bc he's been playing great at an efficient rates, and if he wanted to score 30 a game he could but he adjusted his game to fit Embids
Stop it he is washed he had a good game all great players can show flashes of they old selves
Oh stop, just because a player is efficient doesn't mean he could average 30 if he shot more. Harden doesn't have the first step quickness he used to have, he can't get to the rim like he used and as a result, he isn't capable of the same things he used to be. He might be able to do it for a game or two but for a whole series? I'll believe it when I see it.
@@gmailgmail6234 if harden is washed then Klay, kd, kyrie, dame, Kawhi and Paul
George are all washed too right?
@@stopplaying6605 ay dont be sleeping on kyrie. he's him and he'll prove it next year. Mavs will become a monster team over the off season. It's a given cus they literally have LUKA and KYRIEEEE
@@talal3c Maybe. Dillion Brooks might be the first addition.
it was cut out before but in the opening Shannon said CP3 looked 6 hours from 50, bout to get an aarp card 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
You never hear Skip talk about Luka being out of shape
So far Old is Gold- NBA veterans are performing at high level and shining in nba playoffs.
Cudo # experience
Refs be saving Celtics and don’t say I’m lying because Jason Tatum fouled Lebron gets no call then yesterday they called 2 offensive fouls back to back and still lost 😂
Philly didnt get a call until like 2nd half just about, Celtics legit had twice as many free throws as the sixers.
Harden pulled out that Magic City special & stripped Boston of Home Court Advantage
Shannon said if I'm doc I'm sending harden back to Vegas 😂🤣😂🤣 if he gonna give me 45🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Beard and Joker last night 😯😯😯😯
both them series might over if the home teams don’t win next.
Unc I can explain why JB ain’t take no more shots…
“FanDuel “ 😂
"Is there anybody who will get up in you any harder and more physically and fiercer" -Skip"Ive never seen nothing like it before in my life" Bayless
Although i always hated how Harden iniciated the contact while playing offense and traveled with those step backs, i always felt he was a BALLER. Happy for him, hope he makes the finals this year this will be good for his career.
Man I wish Milwaukee never let go of PJ Tucker, we’re missing his toughness on defense and his elite winning mentality.
that man had 0 pts and 5 reb in 30+ min, i think were fine
@@donnsolo.3035 basketball isn’t all about stats goofy. Draymond green will be in the hall of fame averaging a triple single but impacts the game defensively and effort. Learn the game
Whatever helps you sleep better at night 😂boo
I feel like everyone is undervaluing what pj tucker did in this game. Y’all need to stop focusing on the stats
@@donnsolo.3035 yeah y’all are fine in Cancun lol. Best believe if pj tucker was guarding Jimmy he wouldn’t have scored 98 points in 2 games. Crazy y’all bucks fans don’t appreciate the man you won a chip with and who was a HUGE part in it
Skip said the first time since Houston that he felt the green light 😂 is everybody not remembering his first year in Brooklyn he was a complete monster before he had a torn hamstring… these guys literally can’t remember anything hahha😊
He cooked Boston avg 28-8-8 in series, he was BKN mvp before injury
If James can continue to get that spacing. He will continue to cook. Go look at the highlights. It’s started looking like a 15-16 Houston offense.plenty of spacing
Unbelievable performance from Harden 😳 😱, did not know he can still do that!!!!!!!!!!
The biggest take away from the sixers all year long has been they fight in the fourth quarter. didn’t always close games but they did more often than not especially in games they were supposed to win. Look at all their wins this season I’d say 85% of em were close games regardless of the team they played.
Doc Rivers deserves the credit
I'm absolutely 100% shocked that Philly won and even more shocked Harden balled out like that ! I mean if you told me he was gonna get his playoff career high last night ! Damn ! Mind blown !
This was Game 5 against the Hawks all over again
😂 I definitely got flashbacks lol
Like Shaq said last night, “The Celtics kept playing around and they let the 76ers stick around”
Funny the celtics keep allowing teams to "stick" around??
The Celtics can't "allow" a damn thing. It's clear.
Unc has me dead “if I’m doc I’m sending him back to Vegas” crying😭
I remember 2014-19 all the hate Harden got from NBA fans from all over. How easy we forget...
JT doesn’t know how to ride the hot hand , he HAS to get his numbers unless he ABSOLUTELY does not have it going .. but he’ll see JB get hot and he has to join in too instead of Impacting the game in other ways … difference between having Mazulla at coach VS Udoka
I’m a diehard and I said the same thing man🤦🏽♂️ JB was firing and the point Tatum saw a shot go in he started cooking. He was making them but JB seemed to be taken out of rhythm and was running into a corner waiting for a look.
@@Getem_Gary facts Tatum is Great But he’ll mature to appreciate the Complimentary costar JB is … it’s kinda the same thing with how Luka and Brunson were Tatum thinks we go as I Go but in reality the C’s need both to Keep that machine up and running
20:14 ayyyyoooo
😭💀
☠️
Damn, I thought this was a Rockets game from 4 years ago😂. Im just saying….flipped the channel and see red jerseys, Tucker setting picks and Harden doing step back threes😂
Harden 1000% still can go for 40 any time he wants. He was the only player in Brooklyn that changed their game to make the team better. In Philly he did the same to keep Joel satisfied. His scoring was based on his savy, not athleticism. It'll be awhile before that goes away.
every sixers fan knew he had this type of preformance in him still we watch how he plays every game he just doesnt look for shots as much with Embiid on the floor bc he doesnt need to
Man I love this show because of the praise they give players when they do great things. I can imagine being harden shoes and waking up to hear this. It's must be exhilarating to hear.
You must listen to Skip with the sound off.🤣
Any show that doesn't involve KD, Giannis, Steph, or LeBron is automatically a good show by Skip and Shannon. If they talk about those four players though, it's just a waste of your time.
Boston got comfortable, careless and just gave the game away.
Is that why they lost twice to a mediocre team like Atlanta? And if they lose again on Wednesday will that be the reason too?
all the excuses how did y'all lose even one game to the hawks
@@rackemwillie2191 In a close-out game 5 with homecourt advantage, too.
@@onlylikemindedbw what happened man? Lol. Series isn't over.
I seen this coming, as A sixers fan I wanted 50 points but 45 with a win I can't complain.
When he started the game 5/5 field goals, I saw what was coming
James Harden & Jaylen Brown will team up in Houston next season
Damn I keep hearing that...🤔🤔
Y’all was jus counting the 76ers out yesterday 😭 talking crazy now look humble pie how’s it taste shay shay and skippy boi
If James is fr that he can do this easy, then I’d say this philly team w/o embiid is an upgrade from the best Houston team he had. And those teams gave prime gsw sweats so I think Boston has a problem on their hands
Rocket fans are gonna have a meltdown if hardens with the chip this year
What we’re seeing is James Harden when he is happy and motivated. He’s never looked happier than he has in Philly
Harden is the first real "POINT GUARD," Embiid (MVP) has had. It means he's not selfish. Sixers are going to the finals.
Harden never fell off. He’s playing smarter, not harder.
Harden in Huston was something else glad he brought that version back if he can sustain it they will have success
Skip ain’t no one tell you nothing 😂😂
You can tell the dudes on tv don’t watch the actual basketball games. James played big all year and had glimpses of big games literally all season long. Start watching the games y’all! You won’t sound so off when it comes down to it
Harden sacrificed all season to help Joel win the MVP. You gotta credit him for that.
PJ is just out there doing cardio! His team needs to throw him a lob or something 😂
Harden is and always was a beast. I've never seen a better player get more criticism in my life. The harden slander has been abdurd for over a decade now.
Harden CHOSES to be a facilitator don’t mean he can’t flip the switch and become the scorer
Then why is he so inconsistent if that's the case.
“if im Doc im sending him back to Vegas” Unc knows whassup
The Hardenaissance has begun.
For some reason I have a memory of Boston winning. 76ers had a comeback Boston was up and Embiid shot it from lil more than a half court but it was still in his hand as the buzzer went off and game was over.
Congrats, PJ Tucker. The 1st stat line with no stats.😂😂
Refs couldn’t even help them 😢 horrible go sixers
Shocked? At what. Philly a good team and the home team
I wanna see this outta harden next game when people are expecting this out of him. Expectations create a whole other challenge he hasn't been able to overcome yet.
@IamGrandMagus literally nobody thought he could pull this off, hence the lack of expectations, if you can find the masses that said he was gonna do this and he still came thru I'd be willing to let his past be his past. But dude has literally made a career out of coming up short in the postseason, one great game isn't gonna make me forget about the choke artist he was for the rest of his career when people were actually expecting these types of performances outta him and he never delivered. I'm not saying it was a bad game I'm just saying I still don't trust him in the playoffs.
@IamGrandMagus also just cuz eyes are on you doesn't mean they're expecting anything out of you, my statement still stands. Next game when the same eyes are on him except actually expecting this type of performance outta him will he deliver? That's been the question his whole career.
@@jackrosado746 Such a ridiculous take to respond to greatness with.
@@jackrosado746 if he didnt do this next game it wouldnt mean hes "washed" which is exactly what people like you will say. All that matters is he delivered in a game that Embiid couldnt play so that he could lead his team to victory and thats all that matters in this situation. If he plays off or bad next game its just how basketball works, but he also might get another 30+ points along with joel embiid. And if maxey can get anywhere near 30 pts a game in this series too its going to be an insane series for the celtics.
Trust me there was expectations if he lost there would of been slander for sure
He really said "Shaq Milton"...
Smh
James is like Russ. He gotta be that number 1 guy to be the most effective version of himself. I’m not saying that it contributes towards more wins but you definitively get a top 5 player and potential mvp. That’s why when Harden becomes that role player, people tend to forget about him and say he fell off when he never did….he’s just being a professional by showing that he’s coach-able and willing to do whatever it takes to improve any team’s situation. His leadership as grown in bunches as well.
I keep hearing Houston harden but the thing is this is better than Houston Harden. He had far more control over the pace of the game and played way better defense. I never seen so much communication and leadership between him and his teammates. FEAR THE BEARD.
The female anchor hair is on point!! First time she caught my eye like that.
Needed every point, Vs a miles ahead better team, and more efficient unlike somebody who took nearly 40 shots to get 50 points and was still playing in 4th after being up by almost 30 🙄. Now is that stat padding or a legendary performance 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I feel like somebody said something about how many shots Jaylen was taking and he was pouting in the second half. As someone who thinks Jaylen is better than Tatum (without as green a light) this is disappointing
Jaylen is so talented I just can’t stand his attitude
You ever see Tatum after he doesn't get a call? He throws his hands up looks at the ref drops his shoulders and Jogs back up the court.
Jason Tatum continues to show his mvp caliber play in the fourth quarter in meaningful games 😂
I like how they trying to push that narrative but Harden dropped 40 plus the last time he played Boston in the playoffs. And how can they tell a team is underestimating another team like the Celtics weren’t trying to win Harden really sacrifices for Maxey to shine all that nutritional stuff yeah right Cp3 is a vegan and is always hurt
Underestimating a team doesn't mean ur not trying to win, it means u thought it would be easier too; and Celtics definitely did
@@allmightoneforall1338 how can you possibly tell that from watching that gm that just sounds like an excuse to me
This might be the most impressive performance by James Harden to date?! His post up game, big 3's he made, facilitated for his teammates, put the 76ers on his back. Maxey stepped up his game too. To win a game in which Tatum went off, on the road, changed the outlook of this series.
Changed the outlook of this series? Idk about all that. I mean it was a great game by Harden but it’s game 1 bro! There’s a lot of ball left to be played!
5:46 he in houston
The last thing Celtics need is a confident and engaged James Harden
The Celtics made a grave mistake by getting rid of ime udoka
I'm sorry but it's silly to say jaylen brown is scarier than Jayson Tatum. It's like saying bane scares you more than ja lol Tatum is just more skilled and gifted. I absolutely love browns game but it's just not a comparison. Brown is productive but your role players can replace that production. Your role players can't replace the level of difficult shot-making that Tatum brings.
Of course the only time they talk about my Celtics is on a bad note
Playoff high put respect on papa name
You played yourself if you thought harden wasn’t capable of this…
To say you don’t know if he still has it in him is just crazy.
Harden averaged 19 points per game on 41 % shooting last season in the playoffs.
No it is not.😂😂😂
This man lying about watching the sixers they always sell in the 4th quarter and I’m die hard sixers fan
I think is more probably that happens what happened last year than happens like yedterday
Jaylen brown didn’t get any shots off because tatum was dominating the ball so much after the second quarter brown had 16 in the first quarter and shot 4 shots after wards going 8-10 for the game with 23 pts
25 shots for Tatum and only 10 for Jaylen spells doom.
Right right right Shannon
Either the Joker or Embid is gonna win their 1st title this year. These 2 teams are not only on fire, their supporting cast are also on fire. Both teams and both MVPs are motivated. This is gonna be a great NBA finals. The rest are just warm ups.
The Bucks had the best record after the all-star break. The Lakers has the second best.
@@penkima4923where are you getting your information from? It was clearly Philly & LA

They're tripping, that's only one game!

This game came down to the beard draining a go ahead 3 like a boss
“James Harden turned back the hands of time and turned back into Houston Harden”
Shannon talking like he lost some money betting on the Celtics 😂
That's the problem everyone underestimate the Philadelphia 76ers when you in a do or die situation someone steps up and show's out just like The Beard did. GO PHILADELPHIA 76ers👍🏾💯.
1:02 "Shaq Melton" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t jump worth a damn anymore but he so crafty and skilled handle the 3 ball and those euro steps
I am so bother by James Harden hairline. Dude had like the perfect hairline not too long ago and I was so jealous of him and now he done pass me.
He getting old man just how it goes 😵💫 his hairstyle the past few years dont help much either
He still got it in the bag😎
Nice to see Harden get his props. Cya in Houston next year James!
Only way Celtics lose this series is lack of effort. That’s what happened last night. I think they’ll bounce back though.
I’ve been saying don’t sleep on James Harden they said he couldn’t win a chip the way he was playing I’ve been saying he can do it still
It's funny bc when Skip's point is validly dismissed, his response is "yeah, alright" then goes on to CONTINOUSLY be WRONG! He tried to make a point about JT turning the ball over, only to be informed that JT had 3 more turnovers... lmao smh
Wasn’t skip just hating on Steph, for dropping 50 !? CLOWN !!
The same people that blast harden now praising him.
