The Philadelphia 76ers are in a bad spot, and Doc Rivers is in an even worse one. After going 3-0 to start their first-round series against the Toronto Raptors, the series is now 3-2.

If the Sixers don't extend their playoff run beyond the first round, Rivers' job is in trouble. Since the Sixers went from 3-0 to 3-2 so quickly, many are blaming the Philadelphia head coach. After all, he is the perfect scapegoat.

During his 22 seasons as an NBA head coach, Rivers has coached teams through three 3-1 playoff series leads blown and one 2-0 playoff series blown.

However, he doesn't harp on those losses, and he doesn't want those losses to define his career. Ahead of Game 6, Rivers was asked about his experience with blown leads in the playoffs. NBC Sports Philadelphia tweeted his fed-up response Wednesday afternoon.

“I wish y'all would tell the whole story with me,” Rivers said. He then acknowledged the three major incidents where his teams have lost series leads.

“My Orlando team was the eighth seed. No one gives me credit for getting them against the Pistons, who won the title…I dare you to go back and look at that roster, and you would say, ‘What a hell of a coaching job,'” the Sixers coach said, referring to the Orlando Magic's 2004 playoff series loss to the Detroit Pistons.

He then brought up his 2019-2020 Los Angeles Clippers team and their Western Conference Semifinals loss to the Denver Nuggets.

“Chris Paul didn't play in the first two games and was playing on one leg, and we didn't have home court,” he said.

As for the Clippers' loss to the Nuggets in the conference finals in the NBA Bubble, Rivers believes that they blew that one. But, he added, “anything can happen in the bubble.”

Hopefully, Rivers and the Sixers can move past this drama and on to the next round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Doc is certainly on board with that idea.

“This one, let's win it, and we won't have to talk about it.”
