🏀 “I’m here, we’re playing very well and I don’t know where that report came from,' James Harden said after the Sixers' win at MSG. 'But I’m excited to be here and we’re playing well. We’re continuing to get better.” NBCSPhilly
“Winning as many championships as I can here," Harden said. “That’s the goal. Just going through what I went through these past few years, my focus is on taking it one year at a time and just making sure I fulfill everything that I do individually. And then making sure my individual goals mesh with the team and our entire goals. But taking this year and trying to do what we all expect to do, and we’ll go from there.
The Sixers didn't have a championship-contending sort of start to this season. When Harden went down with a right foot tendon strain on Nov. 2, they were 4-5 and desperate for consistency and stability. Playing the Eastern Conference's best defense in the 14 games Harden missed sure helped on those fronts., communication issues have become much less prevalent.
Harden is clearly going to be a big part of however this season turns out. Asked if he's figured out when to take over games and when to facilitate, his confidence was not feigned. “Yeah," he said. “And then it’s a constant communication between me and Doc. If he sees a play ... he’ll let me know. And tonight was one of those scenarios where he just let me go, we found something, and we got what we wanted out of it every possession.”
Of course, Tyrese Maxey's return is a less distant future topic than Harden's next offseason. The 22-year-old was out again Sunday, but he went to New York with the team and Rivers said Friday he's"close" to coming back from his left foot fracture.“We’re going to add Tyrese back into the equation," he said. “He’s a huge part of what we want to do. It won’t be that hard. There’s a lot of questions, but it’s good questions to have, good problems to have.
