Why, because "Sixers" starter Matisse Thybulle couldn't play because of Kyrie Irving disease? No.
"Matisse had nothing to do with this game. We would have lost the game with Matisse."-"Sixers" head coach Doc Rivers.
Really? Electric Maxey, were you guys gonna lose even if the Artist had played?
"Of course we miss him. Him doing what he does, it's always great for us."
James?
"He's our starter, he's our best defender."
Would have lost the 119-114 game even if your starter and "best defender" hadn't played, Doc? Really? So it wasn't the bench's fault the other night when you lost, it was James Harden's fault, whose fault is this loss?
"Offensively, I thought we lost our rhythm. We lost our pace. That's happened about three times now. We've got to keep our pace going."
Not defensively? Was the defensive Artist's replacement out of tune offensively with the Philadelphia Symphony? I don't think Doc would blame a bench player inserted as a replacement for a starter who missed the game for the absurd reason that he was unvaxed when he doesn't blame the starter. Not when he can blame James Harden. James was 3/12 last night, forget his 15 assists, he was only 3/12 shooting the rock, that's who you mean was not "offensively" in "rhythm", isn't it Doc?
Does James have nudie pictures of your wife or something, Doc? Do you want Baby Ben back and not playing? What is it? This seems to be personal.
Those "three times" that the rhythm method has failed and cost you a game, I bet those have all happened since Feb. 10, am I right? You're blaming the losses on James, isn't that what you're really saying, Doc?
