Yeah, I witness the success of the Nets early last season, but due to the injuries of Irving and Harden, their playoffs weren't successful (not as we all expected). According to the news, ( https://www.nba.com/news/76ers-wait-on-james-hardens-debut-following-trade-with-nets),, there's no specific game where James Harden will have his debut with the 76ers, but I expect that he will have an impressive first game.

Why players hates Harden ? I don't see anything funny when both LeBron and KD drafted the guys to AllStar game and it's the 3rd year in a row when this guys are making fun of Harden and I don't get it. Ok , he is the type of player who wants the ball for himself ...but this doesn't mean he's a bad team player. I mean , in football , Messi and Ronaldo always want their ball on their foot but no one really come and says anything to them ? why ? because they are winning games and so does Harden when they let him do his thing.

Don't get me wrong, I love basketball but sometimes this sport lacks too much fair-play.

Well, the trade has been done and it can't be altered anymore seems that was the Nets wanted in the first place since they let him go, let's assume that was the reason. Hope he do feel good and lead the Sixers to a ring this year if that was also Harden wanted, and hope as well that there wouldn't be conflict anymore in this leader character.

Embiid and Harden has altercations in the past during games but wishing them well that it's all over now and they moved on.

I think it was because he came back to the game after doing some baseball experiment and his number was taken and that is why he went with number 45 for a while. As soon as it was available, he switched back to 23.

However, if we were to talk about greats of the game having 2 numbers, Kobe never even switched teams and still changed his number from 8 to 24 so it should not be really a big deal for anyone else, we all know Lebron has 23 and 6 as well which was used in multiple places in multiple times. So, I would guess that changing your numbers is not a big deal for many players, and it should be fine in this case as well and not a big deal.

That rumor should be fake, Harden cannot expect that as he knows in the first place that he is playing with Irving and Durant who are also great scorers, he can contribute but he cannot do everything he wants like his role when he was still with the Houston Rockets, Harden was traded but Nets are not happy, so they trade him again, hopefully, he'll find a place to stay longer at Philly.

Warriors last 2 games are not good as well, however, comparing the two, the Warriors are more consistent than the Lakers, and this season Lakers are really losing against a stronger team, so I guess we will still be seeing some chemistry issue in this game.

Hopefully it is. I root for the 76ers so obviously want them to succeed.

But actions speak louder than words. We saw exactly what Harden did with the Brooklyn Nets by essentially pretending to have an injury to sit out games. It was clear that he wanted out as he was fed up with Kyrie being unavailable for half the games and Durant injured.

I don't think that either the Nets or the 76ers will be competing for the championship or be in the finals this year anyway, so this trade may be less important than we imagine as fans.

Yeah, but it is still close at halftime with the Warriors just having a 3 point lead. But we all know that Warriors love a 3rd quarter run so we will see, I think they will beat the struggling Lakers here.

It the Lakers win, then Warriors are on the slump and the Grizzlies can catch with them at the 2nd spot at they won their game today.

What a thriller game we have between GSW and LA. Credit should be given to Klay Thompson who hits those 3 down in the clutch. It was a back and forth game, GSW taking the lead early but then Lakers coming back an even took a good lead at 6 in the fourth. But GSW will not let having a 3rd straight lost, I think the block on Thompson by Austin Reeves really woke him up and hitting those setup 3 point shoot at every corner. He leads the team with 33 big points.
