Welcome to Philly: James Harden felt the love from the crowd and shined again in his Sixers home debut.
"He's just got to play himself out of it," Rivers said."There's no secret to it. He goes in and out. I talked to him about being a confident shooter. You have to be willing to miss four and five in a row and believe the next one's going in because I put the time in to know that it's going to go in. That's what shooters do."Milton is also shooting below average from the perimeter.
Veteran Paul Millsap served unremarkably as the primary backup big man in the last three games, chipping in nine points and seven rebounds in 36 minutes. Another veteran, Willie Cauley-Stein, who is in the midst of a 10-day contract, has yet to get a meaningful look. Second-year pro Paul Reed is also in the reserve center mix, and DeAndre Jordan, who Rivers coached with the Clippers, was waived by the Lakers on Tuesday and could potentially be an option in Philadelphia.
