After blowing a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets and getting fired in 2020 and then getting hired by the Sixers shortly after, in a interview in 2020 via Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer:
“Hey, listen, I enjoyed coaching him,” Rivers said of George. “So not a lot to say there. Ty Lue was sitting right next to me. So he better hope it’s not adjustments. It ain’t going to be much different.”
Rivers chuckled while lightheartedly mentioning Lue, his close friend, before continuing by saying: “Listen, we lost the game, and I think everybody needs to take ownership. [Me] obviously. We can always do better. Players can play better. So as far as I’m concerned, I’ll leave it there.”
Was Glenn onto something here??
The recency bias is insane. Ty Lue coached the Clippers to their only WCF in history his first year as the head coach. That makes him the most successful coach the Clippers have ever had and the team’s current struggles don’t change that.
