    We got bounced in the 1st round.

    if you’re referring the the RS there are a lot of pretenders that get exposed in the post season . Udoka got exposed

    Going to take a while for this team to reorient and get into a flow.

    That would be Ben Sullivan. Ime’s been catching strays because of him. But since he’s the head coach he deserves them strays.

    Ime does not seem to be the great motivator with young players.....

    First Whitmore, now Tari is stinking it up.....I hope not every year another kid is going to be dropped.

    Jfc. Some of y’all are so, so deeply embarrassing and emotional.

    Clown post, clown thread.

    I don’t think you have the emotional maturity to handle an 82-game season. I hope you’re not a grown man.

    I constantly criticise Ime’s poor offensive plays, but I don’t think we should fire him, at least not at this stage. After all, we lost by total of 5 points against two strong opponents - the reigning champs and against upcoming hungry young team that may go to the ECF this year. I’m sure this team will do better and get enough wins for a top-5 spot.

    BUT - it doesn’t change the fact that our offense looked like sh*t for the last two seasons and will probably look not much better this season as well. Depending on how far we’ll do at the playoffs, FO will need to make some decisions regarding the coaching staff. By then, let’s hope they do some moves to get us a legit guard, because Reed’s not ready yet - he’s ok at being an option off the bench, but we need someone better to play in our starting five, so Reed would cone off the bench for less minutes, because currently playing him for mire than 20 minutes doesn’t benefit neither the team or him. With the right players running our offense, Ime’s lack of creativity will be off-set, but it will be challenging without a legitimate pg.

    I think that in Tari’s case is more about the failed negotiation rather than Ime you know? And in Cam’s case it’s at least 50% on him (Cam), considering that 2 2nd-rounders was the price we got for him.

    We don't know if Tari is even 100%, we just assume bc he has been cleared, a ton we don't know one iota of.

    Throughout the decades I came to realize that having an inquisitive mind is key.

    I do think Ime’s adjustments could come a little quicker. Okogie did a good job on Cade all night and what was his reward in the 4th? Riding the bench while Jabari got traffic coned. That was bad coaching.

    Why so we can run through our volume scorer shooting guard? We don't have one. Triangle works when you've got MJ or Kobe. We need to run something a little more modern I think.

    Ime is absolutely the reason both KD and DFS are here, and on discount contracts.

    we’ve just forgotten what it’s like to have a coach who attracts free agents

    We haven't had one in 30 years Lol

    Ime always starts slow, that Boston team, that went to the finals, started 18-21. We'll be fine, but he does need to stop with the big lineup

    It's premature to consider firing Udoka, but there's no question he needs a top tier offensive coordinator by his side, someone with the credentials of Mike Malone.

    If we pay him well enough, why not? He recently said he’s not done with coaching yet.
