James Harden led the 76ers to a Game 1 win over the Celtics, dropping 45 points on the road. Since then, he has made just 5-of-28 attempts from the field.
Unsurprisingly, the 76ers have gone 0-2 during Harden’s slump.
Following the 76ers’ loss in Game 3, Joel Embiid had a message for Harden. Despite his recent shooting woes, he wants the former MVP to stay aggressive.
“I mean, you just talk to him and you keep telling him to keep shooting,” Embiid said, via ESPN. “Be aggressive. Can’t get too high, can’t get too low. Some nights you’re going to make lots of other shots, a lot of tough ones, and some nights you’re not going to make them. So it’s about finding other ways to impact the game.”
