Doc Rivers was so scared of people thinking he’s a bad coach that he decided to keep his MVP level player in with 4 minutes left of a 30 point blow out. Thus proving, he IS a bad coach.
Great job, Casey! This is one of those videos I am going to hold on to because I wanna see if what you say comes true. And from the looks of things I wouldn't bet against it!
It still doesn't excuse having the star in with less than 4 minutes to go and a 29 point lead. Keeping key players in during garbage time is just asking for trouble. And, no. Just because the Raptors have their key players in is no excuse. That team is desperate to make a comeback. Doc should've trusted his bench to hold down the fort. But because of his history of blowing series leads, he wanted to make sure this didn't happen here. His insecurity cost the Sixers big time.
He has a history of facial fractures. So he's prone to facial fractures. He's an anomaly of nature: inexplicably soft and brittle at the same time. He who dishes it, but can't take it. I wouldn't trade soda money for this guy. The 76ers are a dumpster fire.
After this Series against the Heat, Doc Rivers will be fired and will be on ESPN or another sports network, working as a NBA Analyst. No way the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Miami Heat in a 7 games Series especially with Joel Embiid out the 1st two games and like you said possibly more games. Great Video Casey Casey another 💎!!!
This is a different injury.. same kind of injury, but different location. It's above his eye, near his eyebrow, not the bottom, where his eye socket is.. that's why they're saying he could be back by game 3 or 4..
I'm glad you gave credit to the screener in PNR situations. For the most part, the guard needs the big just as much for easy shots. This is why Trae struggled so much with Capela and Collins being in and out.
Man. AM hoops I fucking love all of your NBA breakdowns. Even when I disagree with a few of your points, you STILL provide facts to support your theory/reasoning and I love that about you. You just got a lifetime subscriber.
Sixers beat a healthy Heat team late in the season without Embiid or Harden. People are overreacting thinking it’s over and that the Heat have a walk in the park. It’s the playoffs, nothing is guaranteed
The nba is so brutal sometimes... You can make so many correct choices, and just get screwed instantly - you got 2 great players fitting along great, and you can't see them play in the 2nd round together. Just awful situation for the 76ers - feels like this franchise will not have success just like the rockets back in the day - based on bad luck... They would've won the chip back in 2019 if Kawhi wouldn't score that crazy shot, just like Houston would've won if CP3 wasn't injured - just an insane bad luck
@@ajgraham1523 the 76ers would've beat the injured warriors, and the rockets would probably beat the full strength with cp3 given how that series turned out to be - obviously, it doesn't matter - I just point to the bad luck factor - maybe everthing would've stayed the same
@@HBG313 Wtf are you talking about?? When did I ever say Doc was good at keeping leads?? He's 🗑 and needs to retire his oldhead ass!!! How can you keep your TOP PLAYER in the game with a 27 point lead?? He should have got fired RIGHT AFTER THAT GAME!!!

@@simmons1377 Harden is not a better scorer than MJ, He never was even his best season where he averaged 36, Jordan had a season where he averaged 37 and jordan scored even more points in the playoffs unlike Harden who scores less in the playoffs.

Embiid had to get surgery the first time so I can see that happening again. Good thing is this is a freak injury that would happen to anyone who gets hit like that. At least it's not his knee or ankle.
Well, I think everyone is literally saying they will get swept or at best 5 games... which is a different situation for Harden because he was always in a team that was a favorite to win. Maybe he plays without the pressure and will be able to pull it off...
Nah Harden was not the favorite in most of the series he lost. 2020 he was a lower seed and up against the best duo in the league at the time with LeBron and AD,2019 and 2018 he was up against KD warriors he was in one of the few teams that could put up a fight but still underdogs,2017,2016,2015 he just didn't really have a good team, it was solid but clearly not a true contender
@@yanncourtel8538 the pressure is still there because if Harden doesn't perform the Sixers get swept. Granted nobody would blame Harden if they got swept but it's still not a great look
I really think Prime Harden is the better scorer on a team where all 5 can shoot, but If thats Not the Case Id Go with Jordan But this isnt Prime Harden anymore, its Just sad to See what He has become
Harden made a lot of his points on those weird leg kick and running into defender fouls that they finally started cracking down on. Never mind that recent years you can pretty much hold the ball sideways which would have been called a double dribble in Jordan's time. If prime Jordan played at the same time as prime Harden with the same rules, and practice his threes a little more, he would have averaged 50. Never mind Jordan's vastly Superior defense
@@kroft6799 to be fair, watching jordan those years, refs were pretty lax on calling travelling on him. Nowhere as ridiculous as today's game mind you.
6:35 Casey didn't you had an interview with Tobias last year, it's really funny think about it because now your kinda clowning him for his play, anyways great video
Nah Morey gonna pay him. He’ll sell it as Harden was playing through injury and they just need some continuity going into next season. Tobias is definitely getting moved because he and Doc will be this seasons scapegoat.
Sixers were not winning the chip this year with or without embiid. They're better off sitting embiid out and run it back next year with a better bench and not risk embiid long term health. They need to trade tobias harris for 3 and D wings
I agree, and don't give Harden the max. I'd still play Embiid in these playoffs if it ever becomes safe, because anything can happen, but I never thought they stood a chance with Doc coaching them either way. I'd say given the history of how most pro athlete's careers go, Harden most likely isn't turning back into that top 5-10 player. As the video said, he's an above average player and nothing more with the numbers he's put up the last 2 years. I like his facilitation, so I'll sign him, but only for what he's worth. Tbh, I believe Jalen Brunson is on the free agent market and wonder what it would take to get him, a young, ascending Nova product who's a playmaking, scoring guard like Harden. I have liked how Harden has elevated his teammates performances with his playmaking, despite his declining quickness and shooting woes. They should've fired Doc early in the season tbh, or better yet, not hired him at all, but GM Elton Brand is probably as stuck in the stone ages as Doc is. The team is too inconsistent with him as the coach.
If Embiid rushes back he may as well even get brain issues. I don't see him coming back. I am a heat fan but I am NOT happy about this. I wanted a healthy matchup between heat and 76ers to make it fun and to show that my team can beat any other without injuries. Wishing Embiid well. Also I believe the starting Lineup for Philly will be: Harden Maxey Thybulle Green Harris (Doc said he will play green in the lineup)
I agree with you that a healthy 76ers team would have been ideal for the heat but they would have lost anyway because the heat defense is literally one of the best defenses I've seen since watching full basketball games
@@skddgsshootawahmyn8mewhtha865 I agree, I believe the heat would win in 6 games with a healthy Embiid. Heat's defense may as well match up perfectly. Also we won game 1 🦾
@@Dev-dn4uu nah this heat defense is perfectly coached to the point where they don't even have a lot of Premier Defenders... Duncan Robinson & tyler hero are not good Defenders individually but they are coached so well and give you so many different looks that it's impossible to run your offense effectively. I watched the game where the heat did a three-quarter Court trap and then switched it to a half-court trap that merged into regular man-to-man defense. The next possession it was a full court trap that switched to a 2-3 Zone, you can tell they've done thousands of reps in practice and their communication is always perfect and everyone is held accountable on defense. There have been many times if Jimmy Butler is messing up Spoelstra will sit him the entire fourth quarter, everyone is held accountable so they play like their lives are on the line LOL
The whole team has to be present and playing well to win. No one thinks that Harden can win by himself. Embroidered has to be there to win. Bradley Beal is hurt and could not help in this situation. Harden still has upside and can come out of his slump. Don't blame Harden the 76ers need him.
Beal is closer to last year's Kemba than this year's Harden. Embiid won't be playing at this level much longer so they need to capitalize right now. They can't afford to lose Harden.
Doc, Harden and Daryl will now have excuse for the early exit again. Agree with the max contract. Harden knows that Daryl will give him $200 million. I feel sorry for Philly fans and organization for many years. Daryl will gut Philly again and leave. See what he did in house Houston.
Ben Simmons has ruined two franchises AND will lead the NBA to a lockout in the upcoming years because of the CBA deal. I think Daryl Morey will be too "proud" to accept that his former superstar is past his prime and will ruin the franchise
I just don’t think Philadelphia I’ve had the time together as a team I think if James Harden was to stay on next season they would be a lot better having a full preseason to work together
Trading away Harris for nothing is a bad idea Tobias Harris is our only big wing that can shoot and provide decent defense He maybe overpaid, but his type of players are expansive to begin with, even for so-so ones He is paid alot, yes, but who can replace him once he's gone? Niang: Too slow, can't defense, only shooting 3s oncourt Thybulle: Can't shoot, too short Green: Too old Korkmaz: Not a wing Reed: Too green, and a big Unless we can replace him with Covington or Harrison Barnes, sticking with him is the safer choice Plus there's no gurantees that trading away Harris and letting Harden walk for nothing won't upset Embiid
Being a super talented player doesn't mean you're a max contract player. Certain players (e.g., Harden, Kyrie, Simmons) bring too much drama/toxicity to a team to financially tie your future to them. These guys are just to selfish to gamble your team's future on.
76’ers want harden in rockets, not harden in nets because harden in nets more closely to cp3 play style rather than harden in rockets who playing style like mj stuff.
Harden is nowhere near washed sure he's not near his peak where he was top 3 in MVP for 6 straight years. But right now he's an inconsistent player that at his best still looks top 5-10 (see games 1,2,3 6) and at his worst looks average (games 4 and 5). Overall that means he's top 10-20. Which is worth the max since all stars are underpaid relative to the free market. Harden should sign a CP3 type deal. The Sixers paid Tobias 5 years 180M in 2019. Give Harden 40M the next 3 years and 20M the 2 after that so offer: like 5 years 160M, 4 years 140M, or 3 years 120M. If Harden wants to win the can settle for 30M/year like CP3 did
I agree, taking a shot in the dark with free agency while you have the option of signing Harden is a big no-no from where im standing, just try to get him to be reasonable since he wants a ring (short term contracts may benefit both sides in this case)
Tobias Harris isn’t that bad of a contract. Also there’s a chance Embiid could get pissed off if they let Harden leave and he demands a trade. I also think Harden will be back next season
This video gave me an idea of what is the worst team assembled for this 2022 NBA... the idea is to make the TOXIC 10, ten toxic players, Toxic as bad radioactive Toxic, assemble the T-10 shall we: Five Toxic starters, 1. Center Porzingiz 2. power Fwd Zion W 3. Small Fwd Ben Simons 4. Shooting guard Harden 5. Point Guard Kyrie ... your 6. man Russ w completing the second team the lesser BUT still toxic 7.Kawhi 8.Lebron 9. KD 10. Donovan M ... let me know yours and who and how to coach them, Doc R, Nash?
When was Porzingis toxic? why are you playing Simmons at SF? Kawhi literally hasn't played, how is he toxic? and does a coach not performing well substitute toxicity?
I really hate this for Embiid, but it is kind of karma for Doc. And a possible wasted year next year might be karma for Morey and his hubris in finding a deal for Simmons. (In an odd way Harden, Rivers, Morey, and Simmons would all deserve each other in some basketball hell, but i digress.😁
@@AMHoops I mean this has been his healthiest season yet and freak accidents or somebody injuring you doesn’t make you injury prone. Getting hurt every time you touch the court like AD or Lonzo makes you injury prone. Also, that thumb was not major. It’s a pretty silly argument to make considering he didn’t miss a single game from it
Doc Rivers was so scared of people thinking he’s a bad coach that he decided to keep his MVP level player in with 4 minutes left of a 30 point blow out. Thus proving, he IS a bad coach.
I'll have to admit, I'm so traumatized by all the blown leads from Rivers that I wasn't even thinking about Joel being in the game at that point.
💀
I can't see Embiid returning any time soon. Way too risky, whatever protection he wears. Wishing him well.
Yeah, if vision is threatened, i would have to call it a year.
I'm a Philly fan, but I still think its a bad idea that he has returned.

I just don’t think Philadelphia I’ve had the time together as a team I think if James Harden was to stay on next season they would be a lot better having a full preseason to work together
who woulda thought that breaking the socket that your eye literally sits in would be bad?
Embiid's long term health is more important than basketball.
hey casey, who’s your favorite team in the playoffs
"hello earth, we have an allstargame in the galaxy, can u send that bearded Goat over here with a rocket?"
Trading away Harris for nothing is a bad idea
Tobias Harris is our only big wing that can shoot and provide decent defense
He maybe overpaid, but his type of players are expansive to begin with, even for so-so ones
He is paid alot, yes, but who can replace him once he's gone?
Niang: Too slow, can't defense, only shooting 3s oncourt
Thybulle: Can't shoot, too short
Green: Too old
Korkmaz: Not a wing
Reed: Too green, and a big
Unless we can replace him with Covington or Harrison Barnes, sticking with him is the safer choice
Plus there's no gurantees that trading away Harris and letting Harden walk for nothing won't upset Embiid
Being a super talented player doesn't mean you're a max contract player. Certain players (e.g., Harden, Kyrie, Simmons) bring too much drama/toxicity to a team to financially tie your future to them. These guys are just to selfish to gamble your team's future on.
Totally agree!
any way they can offer him less than the max ? LIke, a deal that won't insult him but he will still be paid handsomely?
Of course you mean if the coach didn't throw Ben under the bus in exit interview.
76’ers want harden in rockets, not harden in nets because harden in nets more closely to cp3 play style rather than harden in rockets who playing style like mj stuff.
Embiid is awesome trust the process
I think that Embiid wants to pad his stats and Doc allow him to do so
Harden is nowhere near washed sure he's not near his peak where he was top 3 in MVP for 6 straight years.
But right now he's an inconsistent player that at his best still looks top 5-10 (see games 1,2,3 6) and at his worst looks average (games 4 and 5). Overall that means he's top 10-20. Which is worth the max since all stars are underpaid relative to the free market.
Harden should sign a CP3 type deal. The Sixers paid Tobias 5 years 180M in 2019.
Give Harden 40M the next 3 years and 20M the 2 after that so offer: like 5 years 160M, 4 years 140M, or 3 years 120M.
If Harden wants to win the can settle for 30M/year like CP3 did
I agree, taking a shot in the dark with free agency while you have the option of signing Harden is a big no-no from where im standing, just try to get him to be reasonable since he wants a ring (short term contracts may benefit both sides in this case)
Tobias Harris isn’t that bad of a contract. Also there’s a chance Embiid could get pissed off if they let Harden leave and he demands a trade.
I also think Harden will be back next season
Harris was a bad contract this season but he has played like a borderline all-star in recent seasons.
This video gave me an idea of what is the worst team assembled for this 2022 NBA... the idea is to make the TOXIC 10, ten toxic players, Toxic as bad radioactive Toxic, assemble the T-10 shall we:
Five Toxic starters, 1. Center Porzingiz 2. power Fwd Zion W 3. Small Fwd Ben Simons 4. Shooting guard Harden 5. Point Guard Kyrie ... your 6. man Russ w completing the second team the lesser BUT still toxic 7.Kawhi 8.Lebron 9. KD 10. Donovan M ... let me know yours and who and how to coach them, Doc R, Nash?
When was Porzingis toxic? why are you playing Simmons at SF? Kawhi literally hasn't played, how is he toxic? and does a coach not performing well substitute toxicity?
And that’s the 76ers process in one video
I really hate this for Embiid, but it is kind of karma for Doc. And a possible wasted year next year might be karma for Morey and his hubris in finding a deal for Simmons.
(In an odd way Harden, Rivers, Morey, and Simmons would all deserve each other in some basketball hell, but i digress.😁
So you think Simmons deserves eternal torture? wow your a piece of work
Philly people listen to local Sports talk like WIP 610 or 97.5 Mike Missenelli.
How do you get "injury prone" out of that play? He got hit in the face it's not like he pulled a hammy
Ask a Sixers fan if he’s injury prone. Also, it was his second major injury in one week.
@@AMHoops I mean this has been his healthiest season yet and freak accidents or somebody injuring you doesn’t make you injury prone. Getting hurt every time you touch the court like AD or Lonzo makes you injury prone. Also, that thumb was not major. It’s a pretty silly argument to make considering he didn’t miss a single game from it
the real OGs were here before the name change
He change how the game is played against him...its not like before he can always bait for foul..
Same doctor was wrong about Giannis during last playoffs. Just saying.
Guess what, he's coming back. Not all orbital fractures are the same.
