Sixers-Coach Doc Rivers has criticized James Harden after the surprising bankruptcy of Philadelphia 76ers in Detroit and to protect the bank line newly under fire.
With 39: 8, the Sixers lost in Detroit the BankDell, Philadelphia lost completely surprisingly with 94: 102 with one of the worst teams of the NBA. Rivers, rivers did not want to apply this criticism to the weak yield and instead made James Harden for scapegoat.
“Our reservists were not bad, to their defense must be said that they hardly throwed them,” the coach explained after the game. “I think that in these phases rather James [harden] was the problem and not the reservists. But it’s already true, that was a used evening for us.”
The five bankers closed only 12 throws, of which only three by the Reuse went. For harden, it did not ran better, the ninefold All-Star hit only one of his eight litters after the break (3 Turnover) and finished the game with just 18 points (4/15 FG, 2/9 threesome, 8/9 Ft ), 9 rebounds and 7 assists. In the fourth quarter, guests from the city of fraternal love achieved only 15 meters, Detroit made 29 and thus won the game.
“In the attack we only stood around,” was the devastating judgment of Rivers. “The pistons have geden everything and we were all the time only at the perimeter. We did not divide the ball as a team.” For the coach not only the final quarter was problematic, but the performance over the complete 48 minutes. “We were at the break at 42 percent out of the field and actually only benefited from Fouls, we were terrible and played without passion. We were not a team, which has been awarded us this season this season.”
For harden, it was already the fifth game in the Jersey of the Sixers, where he met a maximum of one third of his litters. Most recently, the 32-year-old had sunk in Phoenix only two of his eleven attempts in Phoenix, two days later, harden against Milwaukee but with 32 points set up a personal best value in the Sixer’s jersey. The Sixers stay four in the East with a balance sheet of 46-30.
