Danny Green was critical of the Philadelphia 76ers even despite their 109-107 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.
“Not our type of basketball. We’re getting wins, but I don’t like the way we’ve been getting them. We’ve got to be more locked in. … if we’re going to play like the No. 1 team in the East or a championship contender, a team that wants to be the last team standing with the potential we can play, we need to do a lot better.
“I think when guys see these teams, they feel like, ‘All right, we only need to play offense.’ … Like I said, we’re just not playing the right way, offensively or defensively,” said Green after the game.
The Sixers are currently on a seven game win streak and are the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
Doc Rivers said he wasn’t concerned about the team’s performance, even with some ups and downs.
“I’m not worried about it. I go all (67) games; they’ve been pretty good overall. We went through stretches this year, if you remember, where the starters weren’t playing well. It’s just ebbs and flows of a long season. I’ve learned long ago, if you overreact, you get yourself in trouble. So I’m not that concerned at all.”
