James Harden shares a positive message on Twitter after the Philadelphia 76ers win their first game this season
James Harden shared a positive message on Twitter after the Philadelphia 76ers won their first game this season. Harden stated that it’s amazing that the 76ers have their first win of the season. The win came against the Indiana Pacers with a relatively comfortable 120-104 scoreline.
Harden led the 76ers to the win with 29 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds to his name. This win will help James Harden’s confidence overall and push the 76ers forward as a team.
Harden is putting up crazy good numbers this season and is showing that he’s still a baller. Many analysts were uncertain of how Harden would lay this season. Some even believed that Harden had lost a step and was regressing as a player. Over the first four games of the season, Harden has looked like an MVP-caliber player.
He’s currently averaging 26.8 points, 9.8 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game for the season. If Harden keeps up these numbers and Joel Embiid plays similar to last year, the 76ers will be dangerous.
Although the Embiid and James Harden 76ers have had a rough start this season, they will make the playoffs. The 76ers may even have a chance to win the NBA Championship this year. Harden and Embiid would both have to play at an elite level and stay healthy for this to happen.
Tyrese Maxey will have to step up and carry the load when Harden and Embiid are resting. If the 76ers are healthy for the playoffs, they will be a dark horse in the title race. All-in-all, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the 76ers season goes and how James Harden plays.
