Daily News | Doc Rivers believes Sixers can — and must — be desperate in Game 4: ‘We’ve done nothing’
— which included two ejections, countless tumbles to the floor, and two strikes in the direction of a man’s nether regions — was any indication, the Sixers should not expect these new-look Nets to let up Saturday afternoon. Their task is to combat human nature by generating a similar sense of urgency to complete this step on their larger quest to contend for a championship.
The Sixers’ last sweep in a best-of-seven series came in 1985 against the Milwaukee Bucks. They also had a 3-0 lead in their two most recent first-round matchups but lost Game 4 both times, to the Raptors last season and to the Washington Wizards in 2021. “We kind of took that lightly, and it went two extra games and weird things happen,” Niang said."… You don’t want to over-exhaust yourself, especially when you plan to have a team that’s going to go far. You don’t want to waste energy on games where you should have not have had to play.
Overcoming human nature was uttered by Rivers even entering Game 3, when the Sixers led, 2-0, and expected the Nets to be reinvigorated in their return home. They were reinvigoratedchippy, injecting spice into a series that appeared to have lost the bulk of its story lines following the trades of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons’. Nic Claxton was the most outwardly brash Net on Thursday, drawing two technical fouls for taunting Embiid.
