Effort, effort, effort. So much lazy play from Sixers.
Do they(includes Doc Rivers) once again need to be reminded they haven’t won anything?
Harden 38 mins in first game back?!?!? – 6:36 AM

A week ago, the Sixers won against the Hawks, and headed on the road for a three-game trip feeling great about themselves.
Now, after losing all three games, they head back home back at .500. Just about the only positive: James Harden is back, though he was dreadful tonight. – 11:10 PM

With Harden out, everybody had to not only carry a heavier scoring load, but they had to create more of their own shots.
That makes the near universal drop in efficiency largely expected. It’s not just Harden’s scoring, but his elite court vision.
