Harris epitomizes the perfectly healthy 76ers
The "aggressive" mentality of Philadelphia's starting lineup. You won't see an easier win than the Philadelphia 76ers just won over the Detroit Pistons. The sixth installment of their starting eleven at the start of the season — James Harden, Tyrese Maxi, Tobias Harris, P.J. Tucker and Joel Embiid — played only seventh.
Against the bad, injury-ridden Pistons, this team looks good. Embiid had 36 points and 11 rebounds on a 12-20 shot, Harden had a 16-12-15 triple-double and Harris scored 14 points on an outrun 6-6 shot. This should be reserved given the strength of the (non-)opponent, but it still bodes well.
Harris said after the victory: "We just need to focus on what works for our team, which is to be aggressive both defensively and offensively, moving the ball from side to side and making the ball look easier." "Obviously, now it's our seventh race as a team — these five games. Game by game, we will continue to have different players who have good hands and can pass the ball to that person and let that person play.
"But we know how strong we are and how big we can be," Harris continued. "We need games like this to continue to show that. We need to do that and continue to thrive with that energy even when we're playing against some of the best teams in the NBA. ”
Now that Embiid is back from injury, the 76ers feel good, better than he thought. He and Harden developed great chemistry against the Pistons, which is exactly what Philadelphia needs to be a truly elite team. Continuation of the trend. With other players playing well around them, this lineup has the potential to become one of the best in the league. The Phillies certainly want to see a regular starting five.
