Doc Rivers coached teams have an unfortunate history of letting 3-1 leads slip. So when the 76ers went into Toronto up 3-0 and left Canada with a loss, NBA fans were quick to point out that this series isn’t over.

“The patented Doc Rivers 3-1 lead is upon us,” said Chase Senior.

“Supporting a [Doc Rivers] led team up 3-1 is absolutely traumatizing,” said another user. “I remember how my Rockets did him. He had Corey Brewer and Josh Smith looking like Pippen n MJ.”

Once in Orlando and twice in LA, Doc Rivers is the only coach in NBA history to blow three 3-1 leads.

Needless to say, they’re getting nervous in the City of Brotherly Love.
