Doc Rivers has spent the week explaining the unexplainable. First he was asked about his teams having a tough time closing out series, which he says is actually proof of what a good job he's done. Today the press asked him about the decision to have Joel Embiid in at the end of a blowout win where he broke a bone in his face that will keep him out for who knows how long. Rivers also had an answer for that which was basically everybody else was doing it!

"The other team had all their guys in too. In the last five minutes of the game. We made the run the last minute of that game right before that. That's when we got up 29. After Joel made that shot he did the airplane. Watch the game, I turned and said let's get, I'm calling a timeout the next posession."

Rivers continued, arguing that every team would do the same thing, but it doesn't matter. Anytime a superstar is in late in a blowout people wonder why he's still in there. Embiid got hurt so the rules of hindsight say that Rivers was wrong.
