James Harden INFURIATED Joel Embiid With This Play

Check out this sequence. Down by 10 in the fourth the sixers bring the ball up, but as Harden gets it stolen, check out how cool he is about it, jogging back and watching Oladipo lay it in.
The funny thing is, the very next play, just seconds later, Harden goes into an unnecessary dribbling exhibition going nowhere for like 10 seconds and eventually gets it stolen again.
He packed his bags to Cancun once again in an elimination game, and basically did not show up.
And the backlash was scary. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
I cannot believe that he had just 2 shot attempts in the second half of game 6 at home when he should have been fighting to keep his team alive.
So basically the Sixers just did all of that chaos in the trading block to get rid of a guy who doesn’t shoot the ball when the team needs him to- just to get a guy who absolutely did the same thing and cost them the series.
I mean seriously, as the ball bounces right here look where Harden and Butler are standing.
But Jimmy literally runs past the beard who doesn’t seem to care at this point, and you can notice that by his defensive stance as well.
Not engaged, hands are down, so Butler just raises up for a practice shot and splashes it.
As he goes back he says Wooow I’m assuming in disbelief of how the Sixers basically gave up and allowed him to do all that.
So after the game as he was going to the locker rooms, he screamed at the Sixers for not giving him the max and picking Tobias Harris over him.
In his postgame interview Jimmy said that he would love to have stayed in Philly and played with Embiid. And Joel said the same thing as well.
Embiid also kind of sneak dissed his teammates which I thought was kind of funny.
And he’s totally right. He played injured and gave everything he had to give the Sixers a chance to win, and to see the rest of them, especially the guy who was supposed to help him get to a championship- I feel for him.
At this point it’s almost certain that Doc Rivers will not be coming back, and the Beard said in his postgame interview that he will opt in and play there next year so we’ll see what the future holds for this team but at the moment there are a lot of things that need to be resolved.
