What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
James Harden says his body feels as good as it has “in a long time,” but admitted his conditioning is still a work in progress after being out for a few weeks. Said he’s excited about the pop he’s able to play with and how he’s getting to the basket. – 4:08 PM

Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie
Yeah it took basically two games for me to be totally in on the Harden-Embiid pairing. Holy shit. The Knicks attention to detail was a disaster, but the Harden-Embiid PnR took zero time to figure itself out. – 4:02 PM

Jon Johnson @jonjohnsonwip
I was told James Harden was too slow.
I was told James Harden was too old.
I was told James Harden is selfish.
I was told James Harden is a ball hog.
I was told James Harden could never co-exist w/Joel Embiid. – 4:02 PM

In his last game w/ Brooklyn, James Harden scored 4 points on 2-of-12 shooting.
In his first two games w/ Philly, Harden is averaging 28 points (on 58% shooting), 14 assists and 9 rebs.
Hard not to feel a bit disgusted by stars flat quitting on their team and getting rewarded. – 4:00 PM

Since the NBA started tracking steals in 1973-74, Harden is one of only four players to record at least 25p/10r/15a/5s in a game, and he and Chris Paul are the only players to do so multiple times (twice each). pic.twitter.com/AwSBYzemIe – 3:48 PM

Tobias Harris bodies Immanuel Quickley out of his way and dunks the ball, capping a 16-4 run over the past 5:30 that has the 76ers up 122-109 with 1:29 to go. Barring some craziness in the final 89 seconds, Philly will improve to 2-0 with James Harden. – 3:38 PM

Joel Embiid and James Harden have attempted 37 free throws with 3 minutes left in their game today against the Knicks. – 3:35 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I think the defensive concerns for this Philly roster are still valid, but offensively, it doesn’t matter one bit that Embiid isn’t the traditional rolling big Harden has always had. The Harden-Embiid pick-and-roll already looks incredible. – 3:33 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
If the Sixers had just given all of Harris’ minutes to Isaiah Joe, they’d be up 10 minimum. Harris might well he better but that Harden-Matisse-Embiid-Maxey unit just needed a VERY basic spot up shooter to smash. – 3:23 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
James Harden entered today’s game with an average of 10.2 assists per game, .5 back of Chris Paul for the league lead. He’s already up to 12 again today, after the same number Friday, and should make a real run at CP’s mark for what would be his second assist crown of his career. – 2:46 PM

David Hardisty @clutchfans
Says @Stephen A. Smith: “Clearly [Harden’s] more interested in being a leader than a scorer because I counted at least three shots that he passed up to give to somebody else. That ain’t the James Harden from Houston. That’s the James Harden we saw in Brooklyn last year.” pic.twitter.com/rsntg5F4Qy – 2:41 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
James Harden has shrugged now at:
-Tobias for leaving Fournier open for 3
-Korkmaz for attempting + air-balling a 30’ 3
-Danny Green for deciding he’d rather outlet an inbound pass to Tobias than James asking for it.
All Minor kinks but Harris-Harden are oil and water so far – 1:56 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Shake Milton has 2 buckets due to his willingness to get out and run. He had a put back on a Harden Miss and then Harden pitched it ahead to him for a layup there on the goaltend. That’s a good sign to see. #Sixers – 1:55 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
RJ Barrett in full-on attack mode again. Working screens until Harden switches onto him, then hitting the lane over and over. Already eight shot attempts in the paint today. – 1:52 PM

That Harden-Harris stretch was clunky. Harris still has not scored and just misfired on a tough turnaround. Maxey and Embiid about to check back in. – 1:52 PM

Harden’s 13 points came on just 4 shots. – 1:46 PM

Harden. Step-back. Yowza.
Sixers lead 38-35 at the end of the first. Harden has 13 and 4. Philly is 5-of-9 from 3 and already has 12 fastbreak points. Keeping the Kicks right in this: They have a 4-0 offensive rebounding edge. – 1:45 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Harden up to 13 points after hitting a step-back three with 3.3 left in the first quarter. He made 3 of 4 baskets and all five of his foul shots to go with four assists and two steals as the #Sixers lead 38-35 after one quarter. – 1:45 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Two stepback 3-pointers by James Harden here late in the first quarter, with the second one making it 38-35 after one here in Philly. Harden has 13 points and 4 assists, Joel Embiid has 10 points and they’ve combined for 13 FTs. Foul-heavy game, as there have been 28 total FTs. – 1:45 PM

Harden out there with:
Millsap
Korkmaz

Like this look offensively. Also curious to see it with P Reed or WCS for lob threat.
Defensive struggling big time here no surprise. – 1:43 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Rj Barrett is missing a lot but he’s getting to the rim and making James Harden play defense. Feel like that’ll pay off eventually. – 1:42 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
My face every time Harden gathers for that step back:
😏 – 1:42 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Harden now out there with Korkmaz, Green, Niang and Millsap. We could see Harris again before the first is over, based on how Doc said he wants to stagger the starters. – 1:40 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
This lineup without Harden is where Tobias Harris should probably be picking his spots. Doc pedetermining to marry the Tobi-Beard minutes despite Harris’ reluctance to bomb 3s could be a thing. – 1:35 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
We are less than seven minutes into this game, and Joel Embiid already has eight free throws – and he and James Harden have combined for 11. The two of them on the same team are really going to wear on other teams from a foul standpoint. – 1:30 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers keeping with the same rotation pattern early: Niang and Korkmaz in for Harris and Harden. – 1:29 PM
