Have they fired Brett Brown yet? Cuz I woud have fired that hack before he got back to the lockerroom.
That team had way too much talent to get owned in the 2nd round by inferior teams in back-to-back years.
Sorry man. But he's officially returning for next season
Confirmed by Woj as well.

This makes sense. I am no Brett Brown fan, I find him to be a very mediocre coach, but he was't the reason Philly lost to Toronto. Much like with the Celtics this post season, Philly lost because their best player played well below their superstar norms.
Here are his numbers in the Raptors series and his regular season stats:
Stat: Regular Season/ Toronto Series
MPG: 33.7/33.9
PPG: 27.5/17.6
RPG: 13.6/8.7
APG: 3.7/3.3
TOPG: 3.5/4.0
FG%: 48.4/37.0
FTA: 10.1/7.9
FGA: 18.7/13.1
Yes, the on/off numbers are staggeringly good but given the team dynamic of on/off numbers and the really poor bench that the Sixers have, I guess it should be expected that posted on/off numbers would be high for him.
Simply put, when your best player plays, as a total, well below his normal regular season performance, you probably could have the best coach in the world and Philly would still be out of the playoffs
