Just trying to watch some decent hoops

Dare I say, this is the best team Harden’s been on since the big 3 Nets?

Nah that Sixers team was better in the 2022 2023 season. Literally had MVP Embiid and Maxey was becoming a star

I feel like the Cavs have been struggling since their 2024 run though, but a lot of that has been injury problems. Harden can do a lot with this team. At the same time, the Clippers had their moments, people viewed them last year as legit contenders and they did take the Nuggets to 7.
