With three games of the James Harden era in the books, it’s too soon to know how this works out for the Sixers in the long run, but the honeymoon is going very well. Harden is here, and he’s incredible. And, so far at least, The Beard seems to like us almost as much as we like him. That’s a fun turn of events for Philly fans broadly, and Sixers fans in particular.
Harden’s arrival was certain to impact the other players to various degrees, but some of us wondered whether the team would experience some bumpiness as they acclimate to their new roles.
