Live Bar, June 15 news recently, former 76 coach Rivers talked about his “3-1” terrier in Bill Simmons’s podcast.
Rivers said: “Unfortunately, I lost the 3-1 leading series three times. My coaching enables us to lead. Of course, this is also related to the players. I lead the piston in Magic 3-1. I will never recall that round of series, because we have exceeded our expectations, we have no chance.
“At the time of the Clippers, you saw that McHale had replaced harden. Their centers wanted to leave, so they started to foul, but Josh Smith and Brewer kept throwing three points.
“I have been thinking that if the rockets were better players to put in those three points, we might all be better.”
In 2003, Rivers taught magic, and lost three games in a row against the piston 3-1 leading situation;
In 2015, Rivers coached the Clippers, and lost three games in a row against the Rocket 3-1 leading situation;
