    I’ve watched Ime coach this team for 3 seasons now, and his rotations and overall game plan still feel too rigid. The players he has are talented enough to build an offense with a clear identity, something we can actually call our number one plan. I’m not sure what his commitment is on the offensive end. What exactly is our main approach? I expect an elite offensive coordinator to help him expand his vision and think more creatively. To me, our #1 offense seems more like a result of a “let them cook” system than any direct influence from Ime. I don’t like how he constantly complains about the players and says they didn’t put in enough effort on the court, when that’s actually his responsibility too.

    THIS! The Ball is getting way to sticky right now! I LOVE Sengun but there has to be more ball movement! Wemby didn't beat us, The Spurs did! Last Year everyone shared the ball and it was probably because FVV was in charge of distributing and setting up the offense.

    Don Chaney = Ime Udoka

    Finding the next Rudy Tomjanovich is impossible

    Can't give him extra mins, he'd get you lilled defensively. You thought Ime was pissed last game, just let Reed play more than 15 mins

    Narcissists always deflect. They never admit their weaknesses and are stubborn in believing they are always right. I don’t think I have ever heard Ime take responsibility for anything except winning. It is his fatal flaw. If we are done after the first round with maybe the second most talented roster in the league, he should be fired. Just watch, he is going to keep running out this disastrous zone and 2 bigs lineup, because to do otherwise would be a silent admission that he was wrong.

    We need to continue to play Reed 20+ mins to see if he can be our backup guard or if we have to trade assets to get one. We also need to see if he can progress when playing man to man defense. Playing 2 bigs lineup is idiotic when you have the highest % 3 pt shooting in the league. It’s only advantage on the offensive side of the ball is offensive rebounding and it makes for horrible defense against most teams in the league. Ime is just too stubborn to abandon it.

    Tbh doesnt matter who we bring in. All the best coaches are taken.

    The best 3 teams in League are technically OKC, DEN, MIN. They have the best 3 players in the league when playoffs start.
    Assuming Warriors w/ Curry have dropped out.

    It only Works if Amen and Sengun, with Durant addition works. If it doesn't its another 1st round exit.
    This year i dont think Amen and Sengun will turn the page to get past these teams yet.

    But let me stress this, they can if they want. There just this good.
    They are young and lack pure playoff exp.

    Also Can Durant carry this team when playoffs start?. Thats all i care about now.

    He will have to drop 30+ games to do so.

    this a horrible observation. the ball is moving better than it has for five years and we sre scoring more than we have in years. FVV and Jalen were the worst ball stoppers in the league.

    lol. Ime is doing what he always does with offense. just roll it out and let the players decide. Defense will be the best in the league if he stops the really bad implementatio of the zone. He will stubbornly stick to it until Adams gets injured.

    Anyone, literally bring anyone on board, I'm so tired of this offensive rebounding gimmick. The players aren't even taking shots as seriously as offensive rebounding, they almost don't mind missing and it's getting confusing.

    We have the players to just be a top shot-making team. Sengun can't be left open at the 3PT line anymore so we're 4-out. That means we're 4 out with 2 excellent scorers and 2 excellent passers and lots of good shooters on the roster. This offense should be excellent without the need for historically elite rebounding. I don't know why we're doing that other than Udoka's random obsessions.

    This is true, its not like Ime doesn't already run the starters into the ground. We need Thibs as the cherry on top
