Fire Rivers RIGHT NOW

I get the criticism of Rivers. But this one is on the players.

Sixers wouldn't win squat regardless of the coach - but someone has to fall on the sword

He has LOST this team. His refusal to play Reed or Bassey or Joe is SO ignorant.

So glad the Phillies start next week. This game CAN NOT be lost, plain and simple. They are so predictable with a lead. And this bench....OMG

Your 2 best players are turning the ball over at an alarming rate.

Joel is a great player but has deficiencies. He is not very strong on his feet and has not handled the double team well lately. Harden looks like he does not have the quickness he once did to drive to the basket and as a result ends up settling for more 3's than he should. I'm hoping they get it together.

Wow. Just woke up. Accidentally slept through this one. Let me say what a great thing THAT was because now I'm bemused, if I had watched this mess I have no doubt I would be spitting angry and rage posting and tweeting.

I warned y'all about Harden.

I've warned y'all about Rivers.

No one can get any rhythm with Harden's ball domination, it has even affected the way Embiid plays.

Once again, Rivers fails to play his athletic players vs an athletic team. 9 minutes for Jordan and he produces 1 rebound, no points, no blocks? With Cunningham, why not have Reed patrolling to challenge some of that inside stuff? Brown, Joe & Reed get 1-2 mop up minutes.

Rivers is gonna get shit canned and Morey had best learn now to not re-sign Harden, do a sign and trade or just find 2 hyper athletic wings in FA. Maybe find a taker for Harris.

It's Rivers.

It's the lack of athleticism that I've repeatedly talked about for 5 years.

So whats up with Harden? Over the hill? Past his prime? Out of shape? Long term diminution of physical well being? (Hamstring)

Can he get back to his past game? Will he work hard this summer to get into peak performance mode? Or will he accept a new max deal and then semi coast along never getting back into peak performance?

I guess there are no easy answers. i have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that the 76ers are screwed.

Harden. Is. Washed.
