How aggressive will James Harden be?

During his Game 1 postgame press conference, James Harden said he could be a “little” more aggressive in Game 2. So, the question is, how aggressive will Harden be when the Sixers take the floor in an attempt to tie the series at one game apiece?

Relatively speaking, Harden had an OK Game 1 performance. He finished with 16 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. He only took 13 shots and got to the free-throw line four times. For Harden standards, it’s not enough. Especially when the team needs more, not less, of him without Embiid.

If the Sixers are going to win Game 2, they’re going to need a big game from someone. They got one from Tobias Harris and, in the end, it didn’t matter much. Maybe a throwback Harden performance is something that could help them steal Game 2 in Miami.
