[NOWnews今日新聞]The Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 and failed to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. It was another disappointing season for them, and it was even more embarrassing when Joel Embiid won the MVP of the year. Team head coach Doc Rivers said that they can continue to improve as a whole, but all changes following the season are not up to them.
Tonight, the Celtics hit Embiid in the pick-and-roll. Tatum misplaced many times to complete the cut or shot. There were more of these pick-and-rolls in the second half, and the Sixers were physically exhausted, so the tactic hit them effectively.
After today, Rivers career tiebreaker record has come to 6 wins and 10 losses. He is the head coach who has swallowed the most tiebreaker losses in the NBA. The subsequent trend is also attracting attention.
When interviewed at the press conference following the game, Rivers said that he will continue to coach the 76ers next season because his contract has two years left. As for whether he believes that this expensive team still has room for improvement, he gave Chu an affirmative answer, but also admitted that the change of organizational personnel does not depend on himself.
After the game, Rivers believed that the team had an ideal combination. All they need to do is to maintain and continue to grow. “I don’t think anyone in this media room tonight chose the 76ers when predicting, but we played well , we believed we might win — almost, and we’ll review Game 6 and Game 7, but our players have been fighting once morest the talk that put them down, and they believed they might win.”
While it’s too early to talk regarding the future, Rivers thinks the Embiid-Harden pairing can be successful. Harden will have a player option this summer, so his decision will also affect the future direction of the 76ers team.
“It’s been a tough season for him (Harden) this year, and the team has asked him to play differently than he’s done in the past, and I think it’s made us a better team. James isn’t his best sometimes, but He still did what was asked of him. As a coach, you have to give him credit,” Rivers said.
The team coached by Rivers in the playoffs of his career has been reversed many times: Including the Clippers leading 3:1 in the series in 2015, which was eventually reversed by the Rockets; the Clippers lost the Jazz in the tie-breaker in 2017; In 2021, the 76ers were reversed by the Eagles and lost in the tie-break; in 2023, the 76ers drew cards from Tianwangshan, but eventually lost to the Celtics in the tie-break. His career series finale record was 17 wins and 33 losses, the most losses in history, and the division’s second round finale had a 9-game losing streak, which is also a record high in history.
