The 76ers are down 0-2 in their semifinals series against the Heat after two double-digit loses in Miami, but head coach Doc Rivers says he feels great.
"I feel great," Rivers told the media on Thursday. "I would rather not be down 0-2, but should I feel bad? We lost two games. You watch that film last night, we played hard. Our guys competed. Anybody that has a problem with that then there's something wrong with them."
In the two losses, the Sixers have shot a combined 14-64 (21.8%) from three point range and have been outrebounded 91-71. Miami is just 23-65 (35.3%) from three in the series, but did shoot 14-29 (48.3%) from beyond the arc in Game 2.

"We got great shots," Rivers said. "Since there's a lot of analytical people out there in the world, it was our 12th best shots of the year. Which means, we didn't make shots, but we got great shots. And I believe in the guys we play on the floor and that they can make them over the long haul."
Rivers had no update yet for Sixers All-Star center Joel Embiid, who missed the first two games of the series with a orbital fracture and a concussion. The hope is Embiid returns for Game 3 on Friday night in Philadelphia.
