Will there be any fallout from Joel Embiid’s comment about James Harden?
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis all had something to say about the final minutes of the Bucks win in Game 5.in which James Harden scored just 11 points and none in the second half, Embiid said,"Obviously, since we got him, everybody expected the Houston James Harden, but that's not who he is anymore. He's more of a playmaker."It's one thing for critics to say that. It’s another when his teammate says it.
Whether Embiid intended that as a slight is irrelevant. It can be interpreted as such — just as Embiid’s comments about former Sixers guard Ben Simmons immediately after Philadelphia’s loss to Atlanta in last season’s playoffs were. "Obviously, since we got him, everybody expected the Houston James Harden, but that's not who he is anymore. He's more of a playmaker."
