Daily News | Doc Rivers wants Sixers star James Harden to be more aggressive on offense
“I told him I don’t necessarily like that,” Rivers added. “I want him to be more aggressive early. His ability and his instincts will find where to pass the ball. I thought in the fourth he got more aggressive.”
That’s when Harden scored seven of his 26 points on 1-for-4 shooting and going 4-of-4 from the foul line. “I like the aggressive version of James more than the point guard version of James,” Rivers said, “because he’s going to be a point guard anyway just with his instincts.”Rivers will tell you the Sixers have a deep rotation that includes 11 guys to shuffle. He considers that a good thing.
“Will all 11 play? Probably not,” he said. “But it gives us an opportunity to make changes when we need to. We can go with the bigger lineup with D.J. [DeAndre Jordan] in it. We can go to a small lineup with Tobias [Harris], Georges [Niang] and James [Harden].Forget Ben Simmons and fret about the Nets | Marcus HayesThe Sixers’ starting lineup consists of Matisse Thybulle, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Harris and Harden. Shake Milton, Isaiah Joe, Niang, and Jordan came off the bench on Sunday.
He’s offered Ben Simmons analysis and sat courtside during the Sixers season, but this was the first time Kelce hit the court. And he didn’t disappoint.
