Brett Brown has been through hell. He doesn’t want to go back.
In his five seasons as Sixers coach, he seldom has strayed from the company line, no matter how opaque or absurd it was. This time, he’s speaking his mind.
The Sixers are very good but, after their five-game dismantlement by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals, it’s clear that they’re not close to winning a title. Brown has trusted The Process. For him, The Process is over.
He wants to win it all, right now.
His boss, Bryan Colangelo, is still Processing.
