Glenn Rivers announces he will not return as Sixers coach as long as James Harden is on the team. “I think behind the scenes… three different people said it would be hard for me to see Glenn [Rivers] wanting to come back and coach James [Harden] again. One source put it this way, “Glenn has been in some big time games with big time players and he knows James isn’t it.” Asked if Harden could be a point guard on a championship team, Rivers did not hesitate to answer. “No. Absolutely not. Do you watch him in the playoffs year after year? Did you not just see him **** the bed again? So the answer to your question is no.”
Harden also wanted Westbrook as well and we saw how long that lasted. That being said Rivers is terrible, but it wouldn't surprise me if another team decides to hire him and his "top 15 of all time" pedigree.
I love how the 6-10 resident dumbasses here at clutchfans come out to talk **** about Harden, as if they didn't watch our win total drop by 30 games a season the second he left. It's actually impressive they have pulses and can speak English at all with such a lack of comprehension. I used to think they were bots, but ChatGPT is nowhere near as ignorant as these morons, lol.
Whoever wrote that must be attributing the quote to the wrong person. If Doc said that, it should be one of the top stories in news, not just sports.
Here's a crazy stat... There was a 13-year time period between 1991 and 2003 when only three head coaches won the championship: PhilJax, RudyT, Pop This offseason alone, three championship coaches got fired! (Nirse, Doc, Bud) 'ship Head Coach used be an exclusive club with high job security...
he's a self absorbed narcissistic sob... talented, sure... but c'mon... Blames Hard-on is all about Blames Hard-on... He could come back and be an assist machine and help develop our young talent... but do u want his cancerous self absorbed attitude molding our locker room? Hey James, what do u say about critics who say u dont put in effort on defense? "Those that matter dont mind - and those that mind dont matter..." - yeh... thats the attitude i want our young guys to adopt... changing practice schedules based on his 'extracurricular activities'... even his buddy WB was fed up with it all... fat suits, disparaging the org... FK this dude and his nappy a** homeless person beard!
The coach killer forcing Doc out is great news for the Rockets, he might actually stay in Philly now which saves Udoka.
Doc's coaching woes were evident all season long but the moment he gets let go it's all Harden's fault
Harden HAS NOT said anything about not wanting to play for Doc Rivers. This is just people speculating about Harden. Someone spoke to someone who speculated Harden may not want to play for Rivers.
The 76ers fans have wanted Doc Rivers to go before Harden joined. Doc Rivers simply is not a good coach. His history in the playoffs is pretty bad, especially when he's had leads.
