Since the trade of James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers, there has been immense pressure on both Harden and the 76ers to win the Championship this season.
The 76ers have improved massively with the inclusion of James Harden and do look like legit contenders for the title this season. The Chemistry between Embiid and Harden has been great since the start which is a huge boost for the team.
However, after having a good start to his career with the 76ers, James Harden recently had a few off games which led to the loss of the 76ers, and serious questions were raised about him, whether he will be able to come up big in big moments or not.
In their most recent match against the Los Angeles Clippers, James Harden led the way for his team. He dropped 29 points while recording 15 rebounds and 7 assists as well which helped the 76ers to win by the score of 122-97.
This performance would have boosted the confidence of everyone associated with the franchise. They got to see a glimpse of the real James Harden that the people have seen throughout his career.
Can the Philadelphia 76ers win the Championship?
The Philadelphia 76ers as presently constructed have a very good chance of going all the way in this season and winning the championship.
The duo of James Harden and Joel Embiid has already shown what they are capable of as they together can drop 50-60 points daily.
Apart from these two, the likes of Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, and Danny Green will be the real key to the success of the 76ers. They can pounce on less defensive attention on them and can lead their team to crucial victories come playoff time.
This team all-around is very capable of winning the championship. And anything less than a trip to the NBA Finals will be a disappointment for them this year.
