Daily News | Sixers mailbag: ‘When will Glenn Rivers be fired?’
Thanks for keeping it real with your-straight-to-the-point question, Sean. I realize there’s a lot of people in the Sixers’ fanbase that have wanted Rivers fired since the team opened the season with three consecutive losses. But the long stretches without Tyrese Maxey and James Harden guarantees that he’ll keep his job at least through the season.
Despite that, the Sixers are 1 ½ games out of second place. I realize things look discombobulated at times with the blown leads, mounting turnovers, lack of adjustments and questionable lineups. But the Sixers have managed to remain competitive amid mounting injuries. It’s hard to ax the coach when that happens.
In the first two games, the Raptors were focused on trying to stop Embiid and Harden, the Sixers’ All-NBA tandem, from scoring. That tactic didn’t pay off as Harden’s court awareness and passing skills enabled Maxey and Tobias Harris to torch them. Now, the Raptors did make adjustments, looking to force Harden to become more of a scorer than a facilitator. He struggled at times because of lack of explosivenes and an inconsistent shot.
