    Y’all must forget about Joel getting swept by Boston without Ben . Harden nut up against Spurs . Double Joel & force harden to make plays in high pressure situations 💯

      @dequan Adams that’s what I’m saying. Big Perk said the last time we seen a guard and a big that looked good and won it all was Shaq& Kobe. But Shaq played with Wade last and won it all

    If you use the argument that you’ve never won a championship then what’s the point of even trying. Otherwise I could say last year that Giannis couldn’t win a championship because he’s never won it.

    James Harden is a Gift that we received from the Rockets via the Nets…….now look at those 2 franchises mentioned and connect the historical dots…….what previous Gift did we receive from the Nets?? Julius Erving… close… NO RING…… what previous gift did we receive from the Rockets.??……… Moses Malone……….. Ring…….. in dominate fashion…………… we are going to the finals……

    James harden is a professional chocker on playoffs. He’s a regular season player star, but you are gonna miss Harden on playoffs and btw he’s an horrible defensive player.Embid is a solid player on playoffs.

    Big Perk might be right.

    the disrespect to the Sixers and to Harden/Embiid are 🤯 we are talking about them not going to be in the Finals because both have not won a ring??? is that not motivation enough for them to be hungry to prove all nay sayers wrong? its the same drive that previous teams who have never won a ring used to ultimately take that Chip! Miami dont have the fire power to match them and Sixers aint no joke in D with Thybulle, Max and rest of the crew. Bucks got beat by Embiid, we know what he will do come playoffs- BBQ Chicken!💪 The Nets need to work their sh*t together first before we can even talk about them, they are just pure hypothetical and on paper strong🤣 so who else gona match up with the Sixers?? lets just watch and see how this Duo gon be special💯

    Lol Just wait till playoffs. James gonna choke as usual and he will be off the team in no time.

    Harden and Embiid is not going to be enough, they need a 3rd star to be taken seriously. Wake me up when they win a Championship 🥱

    The point that Stephen no Smith is Missing is Perkins said the last time a dominant gaurd and a dominant big were paired together they won the championship 🏆 🤔. He’s right 👍🏾

    Ok? Neither has KD and Kyrie with the Warriors and Lebron? They have a lot to prove too. And don’t get me started on Ben

    Also the Sixers were at top team in the East without Harden, it’s not gonna get much harder till the playoffs

    Why does everyone keep saying it’s early? And honeymoon phase? What do they think Harden is going to do? Average 2 points a game and walk off the court? His career playoff averages are great. He just never had a great guy to play with. And miss me with Westbrick and stone hands Howard. I’m talking a legit Superstar . The Nets win last season if he didnt get injured.
