• Harden finished with 17 points on 4-of-11 shooting. He was 1-for-7 from 3. He piled up seven turnovers. He managed to work his way to the free-throw line eight times, sinking them all. Harden still isnt creating much downhill leverage against set defenses. Hes pretty clearly not going to just morph into the scorer he used to be. I liked that when he didnt have avenues in early offense/semi-transition, he attacked and got himself to the rim or the line. Thats where he can still do damage, with a running stars against an unsettled defense.
• As mentioned above, Harden still saw doubles and he remains a top-tier playmaker, which constitutes his main value these days. With Embiid back, simply cutting his turnovers would be a big lift moving forward. A few step-back 3s actually going in would go quite a long way.
• I find myself wondering what Doc Rivers was thinking not staggering Hardens minutes with Embiids. The two rested together and it made for some pretty nasty Philadelphia possessions. I suppose Rivers likes those two together; my guess is because he knows that Harden cant create like he used to on his own, and is now far more reliant on the two-man game to perform at an elite level, and also Rivers is probably giving Maxey an opportunity to cook as the top option sans both Embiid and Harden.
