James Harden notched poorly for a 2nd<\/sup> match in a row against Boston, and the Philadelphia 76ers were also defeated for 2nd<\/sup> straight game by Boston Celtics in the East Conference \u00bd finals.<\/p>\n

Joel, who was given his MVP award in a ceremony before the clash, shared what he told his teammate.<\/p>\n

“I aspire; you just talk to him, and you continue telling him to keep notching,” the MVP winner shared after his team lost in their 1st<\/sup> game at home from the series.<\/p>\n

“Be combative. You can’t be too satisfied, but you also can’t be too down. In some matches, you’ll score a lot of shots, and in some games, you will miss them. So, the most important thing is to have influence in other ways even if your shots are poor.”<\/p>\n

The Beard had a very bad Game 3 in Philly, but the team needs him to play better if they want to eliminate Boston and clinch the finals in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that James Harden is not being the aggressive version of James Harden we saw with Joel Embiid on the floor<\/p>\n

I really feel the root of all of this is in his own head. There are shots he is passing up on that he simply shouldn\u2019t. Sixers need him to be a true co-star<\/p>\n
