Can the Sixers win the east next year with Doc Rivers?

[Real Men Wear Green]

He needed 7 games to hold off the almighty 37 wins Hawks, makes you appreciate how good the big three were that they managed to somehow win a title with Doc Rivers as their coach. The funny thing is, hes the best black coach in the league, and yet Stephen A Smith thinks the league needs more black coaches.

What does taking 7 games to beat the Hawks matter when they won a championship that year?

doc is average. he wont make a big difference for the sixers, so no.


the east is weaker than the west but the talent he has now is also step back as well.

The sixers are actually the so-called warriors of the east, according to a delusional kawhi stan. That is despite the team having zero 60-win seasons and zero ecf trips in the last 5 years.

Can you stop making garbage threads?

Team collaboration has destroyed the Sixers.

Colangelo's front office is STILL there.

Shit is unbelievable.

Unbelievable behind comprehension.

They need to trade either Embiid or Simmons and build around the other.

I don't think Embiid and Simmons can ever win a championship together, the fit just isn't their

And they really shot themselves in the foot with the Horford and Tobias contracts

It matters ‘cause it showed how much a liability doc rivers was, replacing him by a better coach and you wouldn’t need game 7s against the hawks and cavs. also makes me appreciate how good the Celtics big three were, they actually did it with doc rivers as their coach.

Any team is better with a better coach. Your criticism has no meaning. Why did the series go 7 games, and why was that Rivers' fault? If you were addressing that then maybe there would be a point here. Instead you are barely scraping the surface. "They went 7 games? Doc sucks!" is in no way discussing strategy, substitutions, or anything related to what Rivers may be doing wrong. I know that just about everyone first looks at wins and losses but if you want to go that route in the end they won a championship, so who cares if some team in the first round won one or two more games than you think they should have before losing?

He's better than Brett Brown but I don't see the Sixers getting far with him. Hasn't done much of anything since coaching the Big 3. But hey we dodged a bullet with D'Antoni so I'm temporarily relieved.

PG: Curry
SG: Danny Green

that shooting.

[coined]

Dwight Howard too. This team is loaded.

[Axe]

Doc rivers is a trash coach according to hbk dimwit

[Mask the Embiid]

I think the 76ers just created an epic choke cocktail

Embiid and Doc are GOAT level choke ingredients


Of course they're not gonna ****ing win... ever

your arch-enemy...a life long rival

In comes Morey and makes his impact. (Silently screams I miss Hinkie). Colangelo goons are down to one I believe? Either way we got rid of Al Horford contract which was genius. Added a 3 and D guy in Danny Green. Swapped Josh Richardson for Seth Curry so we added shooting back to the team after losing JJ Redick. Draft we didn’t do bad. Got a combo guard that draws comparisons to Eric Bledsoe? Not go by to pretend I watched that kid enough. What I seen he isn’t that explosive but Kentucky guards have been successful in the NBA. Quite a list. So he should at least develop into a productive instant bucket (6th man). Added Dwight, much needed backup.

Sixers still lack that perimeter player who can get their own buckets. Who knows if a bigger move is on the horizon. Don’t expect James Harden since Houston would want Ben. But I’d do that deal.

Coaching staff has been overhauled and some quality names are on board. Joeger, Cassell, Burke.

Right now I see 3 seed. Which is basically what we were prior to this past season.
