Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers had a promising message for Maverick fans Thursday night.
Better days are ahead, he said, when it comes to the union of Kyrie Irving and Luka Donu010diu0107. And this was before the pair had their best game as a tandem against the Sixers.
Rivers went through this last year when the Sixers traded in February for James Harden. Pairing him with Joel Embiid was different than the Mavericks folding in Irving with Donu010diu0107.
Different, but with a lot of the same challenges.
“It’s tough, especially with James’ case for us, and probably here, too,” Rivers said.
