Doc Rivers Fired By Sixers 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue May 16, 2023 3:37 pm

The Philadelphia 76ers have fired Doc Rivers as head coach after three seasons with the team.


The Sixers lost in the second round in each of Rivers' three seasons.

Yup, about right. He wasted the LobCity potential and has done the same with the 76ers.

Yes, he deserves to be fired.
But those last 2 games 6 and 7. That's totally on the MVP and James Harden.
But yeah, Docs time was up, and thats the most you gonna get from him

Unless you've got a time machine and KG, Doc is not a coach who's going to get you a Championship.

Doc fired for getting to Game 7, but Kerr retained for losing in 6? Something's fishy here...

One of them has 4 rings in the last 8 seasons... the other does not. Seems pretty simple.
