Daily News | Disappointment, frustration permeate aftermath of Sixers’ season-ending Game 7 loss
, before metaphorically stepping into an uncertain offseason. Sixers’ recent Game 7s — Kawhi Leonard’s instant-classic shot, Ben Simmons’ unfathomable passed-up layup — were of the heartbreaking variety. This was a second-half face plant, when the Celtics turned a three-point game into a close-out drubbing.Here are three scenes that peppered that aftermath, which capture the Sixers’ collective disappointment and frustration following another second-round exit.
Speculation about Rivers’ job status is sure to run rampant in the coming days, especially after well-respected coaches Monty Williams, Mike Budenholzer and Nick Nurse were all let go following seasons that did not live up to internal or external expectations. Rivers said Sunday he plans to be the Sixers’ coach in 2023-24 but acknowledged “no one’s safe in our business, and I get that.”Joel Embiid, James Harden choke in a gutless showing in Boston. ‘The Process’ fails again.
Eventually, Reed linked up with Tyrese Maxey and De’Anthony Melton. Those two guards have become close pals this season, even while replacing each other as starter and sixth man at various points. Maxey has also remained tight with Reed, his fellow 2020 draftee. And when asked to reflect on the season as a whole, Harden said, “Our season is over. Sums it up right there.”
But the most efficient shooting season of Embiid’s career ended with an uncharacteristic dud, going 5-of-18 from the floor Sunday and finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds and two blocks.
