76ers: Joel Embiid says duo with James Harden is ‘Unstoppable’

The Sixers are third in the Eastern Conference with 37 wins in 60 games

Joel Embiid speaks after James Harden’s second game with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The big man and the guard scored a total of 66 points (33/37 FT), 19 rebounds, 19 assists, 6 steals and 4 blocks in in last afternoon’s road win over the New York Knicks.

“What are you really going to do?” Embiid said. “He’s a great passer, and obviously I’ve got someone [next to me] that attracts a lot of attention to him, so you’ve got to make a decision. Do you stay on me, or do you stay on him? And if you want to guard both of us with the other guys, now you’ve got Matisse [Thybulle] diving to the rim or wide-open shooters that have got one job to do, and that’s make shots. That’s all we got to keep doing.

“Like I was saying in the locker room, I’m happy I don’t have to post up every single possession, so it’s great.”
