    Ime has:

    - the second best post player in the league
    - an automatic mid range scorer
    - a lights out shooter
    - a guy who looks all NBA when he plays his role of cutting off a passer in the post

    And he refuses to try to get any of those 4 players into positions to capitalise on those skills.

    Just absolutely laughable.

    Remember when Chandler Parsons was at Kawhi's level?

    Sengun help defense is bad. It doesn’t prevent anything

    Said it as a joke a few games ago.

    It's not a joke any more.

    It's time to stop saying Ime is a great defensive coach.

    So now he can't stop being abused defensively, what is he good at?

    Kawhi going off for 40 on us tonight and we're going to slip further down the standings. Can we please make some changes to the team? Find a point guard somewhere at least first?

    Ime watched and played with Tim Duncan for 20 years and learned nothing from it.

    Hollins talking up Ime reminds me of him being forced to talk up Jalen no matter how bad he was in the game.

    Looks like teams don't actually have to relentlessly attack Reed to get points and can instead just run their regular offense and score at will.

    Sure looks like DB and FVV are what fixed this team defensively.

    Maybe, just maybe, Ime is getting credit for what they‘ve done for this team once they came here.
