James Harden screams at DeAndre Jordan for getting ejected

A year ago, James Harden forced his way out of Houston. When the Rockets were willing to give Harden a favorable trade. Originally, James Harden wanted to play with the Philadelphia 76ers. The trio of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and James Harden would have either gone great or terribly. Instead, Harden wound up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the Brooklyn Nets. Initially, the Nets played well, but it all came to a halt, early in 2022. As a result, James Harden plays for the Sixers.

When James Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons, early predictions said the Sixers would take the East. At the time, the Miami Heat were in firm control of the East’s top seed. With Ben Simmons refusing to play, Joel Embiid took his game to an MVP level. After original struggles, the Sixers began winning games. At the time when James Harden joined the Sixers, they were the third seed, and with him, they briefly took the first seed.

In the East, it looks like the playoff picture has been settled. The top four seeds look like it is permanent, as the Heat have essentially locked up the first seed. Meanwhile, the Celtics have enough momentum to keep second. The Bucks and Sixers have the same record, but Milwaukee owns the tiebreaker. Furthermore, no other team can catch them for the fourth spot. With the Sixers firmly in fourth, they played the Pacers last night. DeAndre Jordan knocked Duane Washington, Jr. out for almost no reason. This led to Harden going off on him, as Jordan got thrown out.
