Damn....Harden

Maxey
Embiivp
Big three
Kat got cooked
Harden was seeking that nicca on switches.
I mean when you think about it. The 76ers got a top 75 player all time for Ben Simmons and some role players. Kind of crazy.
We still have to see how it materializes, but on paper Philly is a pretty bad matchup for BK. They have no one who can matchup with Embiid (nor avoid the foul trouble that comes with it), and if they keep Drummond on the floor, Harden will seek him out on the PnR the same way he did KAT.
Ben's 1on1 defense is also mitigated because Harden, like LeBron, always dismisses the primary defender via PnR.. the weakest link will either be forced to defend on an island or forced to trap... which
then leaves either the roller (Embiid) or weak/strong side guy (Harris/Maxey) open. It's all very methodical.
It makes that lineup of Mills/Kyrie/Seth/KD/Simmons more of a double-edged sword for BK.
