The Bell Ringer Podcast returns as host Ky Carlin welcomes on Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets beat writer Nick Friar to discuss the big news of the hiring of Doc Rivers for the Philadelphia 76ers. The two get into what Rivers offers the team and what he can do for the star duo of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
While the Sixers are not the run and gun team that Rivers had with the Los Angeles Clippers, they are still a talented team that resembles his Celtics teams. From the 2007-08 season up until his last season in 2012-13, those Boston teams ranked in the top 5 in defensive rating five of those seasons. Philadelphia offers the same defensive potential with the talent they have on their roster and Ky and Nick discuss that as well as what he can do for Tobias Harris and Al Horford.
