Not long after that TV spot from Woj, we got this from Yahoo and TNT’s Chris Haynes: I’m torn between the watchful eyes emoji and the studious monocle emoji, maybe I’ll go for both here.

OK, what is Woj not saying? He’s not saying “welp, Doc has a full off season and another year at least to make this work.” Like Ramona, Woj struck a few similar chords: we need to watch out for this one, Doc still is owed $24M bucks, the Lakers loom, plus he adds that these Sixers meetings may be important for Doc’s future. And listen the Lakers loom out there, they have slow played their coaching search. He’s got three years left on his deal about $8M a season, certainly a lot left on his contract.

What are the changes they have to make whether it’s personal style of play, are they all on the same page, do they all see the future are they aligned in that way?

A few guys appeared to just throw their hands up and go through the motions.

But there was a lack of competitive spirit, a lack of fire. We’re not talking about Joel Embiid’s health although that’s the most important reason they’re gone fishin’ now. But after the second consecutive unceremonious second round exit, after most fans watched the Sixers ultimately fold lifelessly, (although not as bad as the Suns) in the final two games of that Miami series, after hearing players cite a combination of maturity, and mental toughness as plagues, it was pretty clear that the team was missing something vital. (I hope a lot of people vote because I’m really curious about the gap.)- Francis Parker May 14, 2022Ī lot of fans are frustrated with Sixers head coach Doc Rivers.
