James Harden’s Brutal Confession on 76ers Getting Their “A** Kicked” by Kevin Durant’s Nets Sends NBA Twitter in a Meltdown

James Harden is easily one of the best players in the league today. After a successful run with the Houston Rockets, Harden joined Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the Brooklyn Nets. Although the plan for the trio was to win a title, it did not work out.

On the trade deadline day of the 2021-22 NBA season, the ‘Beard’ would join the Philadelphia 76ers alongside Joel Embiid. Since then, the 76ers have enjoyed success regularly. However, in a recent matchup against the Nets, Harden’s Sixers would succumb to defeat by a massive 29 points. What was expected to be a close game turned out to be a no-show from the 76ers.

After the loss, Harden made a statement on his team regarding how they were brutally beaten in the matchup. This took the Twitterverse by storm who roasted Harden for his words.

Following the loss to the Nets, Harden explained how the game was a benefit for the team. He stated that it grounded the team after they won 5 games with him on the squad.

“Tonight was good for us, man. We got our a** kicked. Since I’ve been here, everything has been sweet and we’ve been winning games,” Harden.

“So tonight was good for us and we get an opportunity to come down to reality, watch film, and just continue to get better,” he added.

Clearly, Harden believes that the loss has grounded the team. Moreover, it will also help them identify loopholes in their gameplay that they need to fix. This will ultimately improve their performance.

Fans React to Harden’s Statements

Harden’s words on the 76ers getting their ‘a** kicked’, put Twitter in a frenzy. Many roasted Harden with statements regarding him and rapper, Lil Baby.

Moreover, fans also laughed in the face of the 76ers after the loss. They gave a reality check on what the future of the 76ers could be with Harden. Furthermore, they stated Harden would never win a title with the Sixers.

In Conclusion

Clearly, as Harden mentioned, the Sixers were blown out. In a highly anticipated game, Harden and his team were a no-show. Moreover, the Nets won the game without Simmons. So this brings into question the possible improvement in performance with Simmons on the floor. As a strong rebounder, playmaker, and defender, he fits in well with the Nets. This truly makes them a scary team.

However, as Harden mentioned, the hope is still alive in the Sixers camp. As he mentioned, it’s a learning curve for the team and such a loss will help them figure out areas of improvement. With this, the team will be able to bounce back and head into the playoffs on a high. Regardless, if the two teams meet in the playoffs, it will be a sight to see!
