Fourteen months after he forced his way off the Nets, the Barclays Center crowd seemed to revel in waving goodbye to James Harden.

Harden was ejected Thursday night in the third quarter of Game 3 of the first-round playoff series between the Nets and 76ers.

Harden was having a team-best night with 21 points, five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes when he was called for an offensive foul as he collided with Royce O’Neal.   

Harden’s eyes widened in shock that the whistle was against him, so you can imagine his surprise when the officials went to the replay monitor and upped the call to a Flagrant 2 and automatic ejection.

Harden walked up the tunnel as the noise in the arena increased, with fans waving their white towels and their hands.

O’Neal was tightly defending Harden, who dropped his shoulder into O’Neal’s chest and his elbow appeared to collide with O’Neal’s groin.

Harden was the first of the Nets’ failed “Big Three” to go, when he forced his way to the 76ers in a trade that brought back Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond – none of whom played for in this game – as well as two first-round draft picks.

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were subsequently traded earlier this year. 

Minutes later, though, Brooklyn’s Nic Claxton was also ejected once he was assessed a second technical foul for taunting Joel Embiid.

Claxton’s first was for taunting Embiid after the Sixers big man was assessed a flagrant 1 foul for kicking the Nets guard in the first quarter.
