it's possible. slightly underwhelming. how's the coaching in Portland been? I know he's mostly a development guy, which is what we need, but if we want to learn to win we'll need an X's and O's guy too.
I can already see what happens next. Udoka bangs KPJs girl and all hell breaks loose. Nail polish war in the locker room. I’m here for it.
Of course yes for Udoka. How many guys could get suspended for a consensual relationship? It's cool as hell.
Celtics 2020-2021 record : 36-36 Head coach Brad Stevens (aka the boy genius) Defensive rating 112.5 (14th NBA) Beaten in the first round by Brooklyn 4-1 On the verge of breaking up the team. Celtics 2021-2022 record 51-31 (+20) Head coach Ime Udoka (first time NBA head coach) Popovich coaching tree Defensive rating 106.9 (2nd NBA) +12 Swept Brooklyn Lost to Golden State in the FINALS 4-2 Fired for reasons that everyone knows by now. IME screwed up. He paid a heavy price for his actions. If we are speaking of on the court only what he did with Boston was incredible. He's choice #1. Atkinson or Nurse would be fine as well. I just prefer that they swing for the fences instead of going the safe route with another retread.
I ain't mad about it. He has a lot to prove with a roster a lot less ready to win now but I'll give him that opportunity.
Worth noting Brooklyn passed on him earlier in the season after background checks led them to opt out of him replacing Nash.
