Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

An obvious win game for the Sixers. They don't have the mental fortitude to come back down 3-1. This is a "must show up" game for Harden. If he doesn't show, I'd rather see him boost Houston's night life again and lose him for nothing. I never been keen on giving him a max extension. Unless he is willing to play on that player option he has, I rather see him walk for nothing than extend him.

I've loved his defense today. He's been hustling

[illwill10]

Yeah, that's the way we need Harden to play. Everyone is stepping up. Sixers just have to keep the foot on the glass. I do think this Sixers team is mentally tougher than years past. I wouldn't have been surprised if they choked and just laid down, but they're showing up today

That was a clean block on Brogdon for Harden. This is the intensity they need from him.

Nice to see James get back to using his stepback move in the mid-range area. It was always a strength of his in OKC, but obviously he got away from it in Houston.

And now he is "cooking with fish grease" as the cornball Mark Jones would say. I'm surprised he just had a "got it" as the call and not some corny line.
