#Sixers PG James Harden on being viewed as just a scorer: “Playmaking is underrated. Hopefully, they’ll catch on eventually, but, I mean just impacting the game. And scoring and playmaking is something I have to do every single game.” inquirer.com/sports/76ers-h… via @phillyinquirer – 1:08 PM

Embiid with a smooth 38-13-5 despite not playing the 4th quarter.
He’s averaging 33.5 PPG this year.
He’s the only C to average 30+ in 40 years, and he’s about to do it a 2nd time.
Only players to average more PPG than Embiid this year in last 40 years are Harden, Kobe & MJ. – 9:22 PM

James Harden’s night is now likely done as well, after he notches the triple-double: 11 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists,
The Sixers are up by 31 points. Some guy just yelled, “Doc, we want Korkmaz.” – 8:53 PM

Charlotte is way too young (and also just downright trying to get a high pick) to consistently execute after they put 2 on the ball and the Sixers are just wrecking them on the 1st or 2nd pass away from Harden. – 8:03 PM

More on this storyline
On a per-game basis, the Kings’ 120.9 points per game are on pace to trail only the 1980s Nuggets for the highest single-season scoring average since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. The four Denver teams ahead of Sacramento played roughly 11 more possessions per game than the Kings currently do, which is why the latter’s offensive rating is also bonkers. Sacramento is scoring 119.4 points per 100 possessions this season, leading to an offensive rating higher than last year’s Brooklyn Nets, who recorded the NBA’s highest single-season offensive rating since the league first tracked the metric during the 1996-97 season. Those Nets had James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for portions of the season. -via The Athletic / March 17, 2023
Hawks PR: Trae Young has handed out five-or-more assists in 95 straight games, tied for the 10th-longest such streak in NBA history and the longest active such streak in the league. Coming into tonight’s games, the closest players to Young are James Harden (43) and Tyrese Haliburton (32). -via Twitter @HawksPR / March 12, 2023
