76ers president Daryl Morey is fully confident in Doc Rivers leading the franchise going forward, despite a disappointing season-ending loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Thursday.
While Morey blessed Rivers’s return as the 76ers coach and Rivers echoed that the team’s “goals” have not changed, he shared that Thursday’s loss was not the position the franchise wanted to be in.
"We’re sick we’re here,” Morey told reporters. “We have big aspirations for the team, I know the fans do, too ... That’s why we do this. It’s tough to be here right now.
