  2. You should have stuck with us Doc, although I’m glad you didn’t. Still wish him the best

  4. Wow, imagine how lovable that team would be with Nick Nurse’s perpetual whining at officials added to the mix.

  5. Funny how two games turn the tides

    From “Oh we prepared for the Al-Rob lineup, we are ready for that” to fired 5 days later 😂

  6. Jays should be crucified and banned from Philly.

    They out here sending 2 Philly HC (Brett Brown and Doc) to the shadow realm 💀

    Edit: About to be 3 if this next HC becomes a scapegoat once again should Embiid underperforms

  7. He gonna have to retire, right? Seriously, I don’t see anyone taking him as a head coach again after his debacle of a tenure with the Sixers.

  9. I am the biggest fan of clowning on Choke Rivers as much as the next guy but anyone with eyes can see that the series was not lost because of him or his coaching. If anything the only reason they even had a fighting chance was because of his coaching, which maybe says a lot more about how doomed Philly was from the start lol

  10. Doc and Embiid/Harden deserve each other. Good at what they do but always choke and underperform in the big moments.

  12. Coaches will always be the scapegoat when the season doesn’t go as expected. It’s sad to see.

  13. I figure ESPN will hire him for a studio gig. They are such a mess on that front compared to TNT, and Doc has a history of TV work.

  15. Always liked him. Great coach for vets but not ideal for young players and rookies. He didn’t lose the series for them whatsoever.

    He’d be a phenomenal assistant for Joe! 🤞

  19. So is the new trend that if you get eliminated from the playoffs you need to fire your coach?

  22. In reality 76ers fan should be thanking us. If we had lost this series than 76ers would have predictably lost in the ECF or the Finals and would’ve kept Rivers

  23. Doc Rivers is a good coach from another era. His coaching style is not adapted for today’s basketball

  24. It’s official: we broke the Sixers and whatever the fuck their “process” was.

  26. So that is KD, Kyrie, and Doc all leaving their teams cause of the Celtics.

  27. Every season that passes I become progressively more amazed that 2008 happened

  29. Feel kinda bad for Doc especially how hard he rode for Joe. He was whiny before Game 7 but hey he knew we were home and far better than his squad you’re gonna pull all the strings that you can for any advantage.
