Ever since the Philadelphia 76ers traded James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers, we’ve been waiting for the first time he would face his old club. That day is here (and due to a scheduling quirk, the second time will be three days from now). After a shaky start, the Clippers are now 40-22 with Harden in the lineup. On the season, Los Angeles is 44-25, good enough for fourth place in the Western Conference.
For Sixers fans, the good news is we don’t have to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to watch today’s afternoon matinee.
