The Philadelphia 76ers have parted ways with head coach Doc Rivers following the team’s chastening Eastern Conference Semifinals defeat to the Boston Celtics, the team announced.
“Doc is one of the most successful coaches in NBA history, a future Hall of Famer, and someone I respect immensely,” Daryl Morey, Sixers President of Basketball Operations, said in a statement. “We’re grateful for all he did in his three seasons here and thank him for the important impact he made on our franchise. “After having the chance to reflect upon our season, we decided that certain changes are necessary to further our goals of competing for a championship.
Harden, who has a track record of not performing to the best of his abilities in crunch playoff games, scored just nine points on 3-of-11 shooting to cap off a series in which he also posted 12, 16, 17 and 13 points in games. Embiid, meanwhile, scored just 15 points on Sunday – the second time in the series he posted that lowly figure – on 5-of-18 shooting, as his threat was largely nullified by the 36-year-old Al Horford.
