Doc Rivers: Still Kind Of A Dick
This friggin' guy. C'mon, reporters. Would you ask Pop these reasonable, logical questions that are 100% relative to what's going on with the Sixers? OK, Doc. I'll give it to ya. Fair point with the Magic. Also a solid defense for Chris Paul being on one leg for a series and a resptful "Hand up, we blew it" for the 2020 collapse in the bubble. Shit does happen. So for those three separate playoff series collapses over 18 seasons, shat occurred. But...Doc...may we politely inquire ABOUT THE OTHER 5 ABSOLUTELY PISS POOR INEXCUSABLE PLAYOFF COLLAPSES WHILE YOU WERE HEAD COACH:
2003: Magic vs. Pistons up 3-1
2009: Celtics vs Magic up 3-2
2010: Celtic vs Lakes up 3-2 in NBA Finals
2012: Celtics vs. Heat up 3-2
2015: Clippers vs. Rockets up 3-1
2016: Clippers vs. Portland up 2-0
2020: Clippers vs. Nuggets up 3-1
Oh, and add in the Sixers vs the wildly less worthy Atlanta Hawks last season in the 2nd round with Philly being up 18 in Game 4 and leading 26 in the 3rd quarter of Game 5 - Which, again, led to certified douchecanoes Tweeting out stuff like this:
So, SO sorry for people being all worried about this current Sixers team having their 3-0 first round lead vs. the injured and wildly less talented Toronto Raptors. Top 15 coach in NBA history, tho. Fucking A, man.
Cue it. I guess.
