PHILADELPHIA — James Harden says he’s “ready to hoop.” The Philadelphia 76ers sure hope The Beard is good to go — not just for the opening-round Eastern Conference series against Toronto — but for a deep run into June.But the early returns, well, they show the All-Star pairing with Joel Embiid is still going through some growing pains in the two months since Harden was traded.
The best Philly team in Embiid’s tenure was in 2019 when they lost to the Raptors on Kawhi Leonard’s four-bounce Game 7 buzzer-beater in the second round. The Raptors won the NBA title. The 76ers have seemingly never recovered from one of the more crushing defeats in team history. Toronto All-Star Fred VanFleet, who averaged a career-high 20.3 points and 6.7 assists, has seen the change in Embiid.“He used to be play back-to-the-basket like a five and now he’s turned into Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, all put together,” he said.“Going into the series, I’ve played enough against them to know how they’re going to play,” he said.Philadelphia guard Matisse Thybulle, one of the NBA’s best perimeter defenders, isn’t fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
