Daily News | Three New Year’s Observations: Jalen Hurts, James Harden, and the Phillies
I’m not sure how much sense it makes to observe New Year’s Day on the second day of the new year. That said, I am a big believer in bank holidays. The more the merrier. Or, in this case, the happier. If the federal government wants us to spend our Monday observing, then who am I to argue?
1) Jalen Hurts has earned an MVP trophy and a contract extension. But 2023 is still the year where he will end up defining himself. At least, for the time being. That being said, I’m an honest enough broker to admit that I am probably not being as honest as I could be. At least, not if you define honesty as stating exactly what you think at some exact moment in time. If I were to do that, I would probably say that I still have some doubts about Hurts’ ability to do the things that traditionally need to be done in order to win back-to-back football games against traditional playoff teams in a traditional playoff environment.
The most Sixers-ish outcome to the 2022-23 season is an Eastern Conference Finals berth followed by a complete implosion. Harden has been exactly the player the Sixers need him to be in order to be a team that can beat the Bucks or Celtics in a seven-game series. He’s shooting .402 from three-point range since his month on the shelf and has been every bit the brilliant facilitator we saw even when he had no legs last season. Meanwhile, Embiid is averaging a career-high 33.
