The 76ers had a chance to clinch a spot in the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night. Instead, they allowed Jayson Tatum and the Celtics to force a Game 7 in Boston.
Shortly after Game 6 ended, basketball fans around the country rushed to Twitter to discuss Doc Rivers’ history in Game 7.
Rivers has already lost nine times in a Game 7. He has four more losses than any other head coach in that scenario.

For what it’s worth, Rivers owns a 17-32 record when his teams have a chance to clinch a series.
Rivers will have a chance to silence his critics this Sunday. A win over the Celtics in Game 7 would certainly quiet down all the noise about him struggling in pressure-packed situations.
