So far for the Sixers:
14 2-point attempts
14 3-point attempts
20 free-throw attempts.
Sixers’ 3-point attempt rate (36.1% of FGAs) ranks just 24th in league. You would expect Harden to help improve that substantially, both because of his own shooting, but also shot creation. – 8:58 PM

Naz can be impactful against small frontcourts. But not against Embiid. Those minutes just can’t happen. – 8:55 PM

Harden complains to ref after not getting call driving the lane he got a season ago. So glad that is back.
At least this time he did it while running back up court on defense. – 8:47 PM

Nine first quarter fouls for the Wolves and 16 free throws for the Sixers.
Beverley picked up 2 in 5 minutes and McDaniels picked up 3 in 6 minutes. Gonna be a game where Finch is going to have to get creative with rotations. – 8:41 PM

Harden and Harris the first to be subbed out for the Sixers, which means River’ initial stab at the two-man groupings appears to be Embiid + Maxey and Harden + Harris. I think this is the right pairings, fwiw. – 8:28 PM

In the second half of the Wolves-Sixers last matchup, Doc Rivers put Tobias Harris on KAT and Joel Embiid on Vanderbilt. They’re doing that again.

The 76ers visit #RaisedByWolves as James Harden debuts. All eyes will be on Philly but Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards has my attention. Will his offensive slump continue? My thoughts from the @WagerTalk NBA Tip-Off Show: pic.twitter.com/GbDCsjLG3o – 6:28 PM

James Harden makes his debut tonight – I’m fascinated to see if he’s willing to give the ball up more quickly than he has in years
Joel Embiid is an MVP frontrunner on a Top 3 team in the East – the 76ers duo can be terrific but the Beard has to let the offense flow through Joel – 6:25 PM

When asked about holding James Harden to a 4-13 performance last month, Wolves coach Chris Finch joked that he wasn’t sure that was the “most engaged” version of Harden. Said he fully expects Harden to be at his best tonight in his 76ers debut. – 6:22 PM

A dire wolf wrestling a Dothraki.
A young star not letting an injury hold him back.
A younger star bowing up on D when the shot isn’t falling.
Scenes from a budding rivalry between Memphis and Minnesota. Hopefully not for the last time this year.

The 76ers get better by simply adding a former MVP with Joel Embiid, but questions linger in the present and future…
– Will Harden improve his play?
– Can he co-exist with Embiid?
– Can Philly adjust the offense?
– Will he be worth $60M at 37?
