Should The Sixers Fire Doc Rivers?

by Tommy Wesner
If Fired Who Is Available?: The Sixers have a lot of problems this year and a lot of them come from their Coach Doc Rivers. Doc Rivers is a coach who is very set on his ways and does not like to change what he does and knows. He has very bad lineups and plays that just do not work. If they were to fire him and hire a new coach, who is out there? The main coach out there for hire could be Mike D'Antoni. Mike has tons of coaching experience and tons with James Harden and a lot of players on this team. He was also the head coach of the rockets when Daryl Morey was there as well. So Should They Fire Doc?: While there have been tons of injuries, I think the Sixers should fire Doc Rivers. He has awful decision-making, play-calling, and lineups. Some of the lineups he puts on the floor would not work in any basketball game ever and he just leaves them out there like they are ok. With just regular offensive sets, there are very clogged movements on the ball, and a lot of the time the players just end up taking a contested three. For play calling, the Sixers had a game against the Lakers where they had an 18-point lead in the 4th quarter but went to overtime. In the final possessions of the game, the team could not even inbound the ball without the Lakers stealing the ball and scoring. I think it would be in the best interest of the Sixers to end the Doc Rivers era and move on.
