    Problem was never Jalen. Problem was never the lakers . It’s always been Ime. The same stuff we’re saying about the offense is the same stuff the Celtics fans said especially during the finals.

    we have too much talent at full health so we’ll be aight in the long run of this season but postseason we’ll probabaly get exposed again unless Reed jsut becomes substantially better. That’s our only hope. I’d say Amen but just don’t think he has a better chance to overcome his limitations than Reed.

    Chill guys, Jalen simply wouldn't work on a slow team that values rebounds over spacing, and height over athleticism.

    This team is built for shooters, and Reed needs to come in and take 10 attempts from 3. He's the right guy for the job. They just have to let him play through his defensive issues. We desperately need his shooting.

    As crazy as that may seem he locked down opposing 2 guards. He moved his feet well and prevented the drive and his length bothered some guys. Every position was covered well by our starting 5. That’s no longer the case

    Remember the time Alperen Sengun had a knee injury. Jalen Green went off for 30 plus because the driving lane was open.

    The offense was smoother and played at a Faster pace.

    You got proof of Celtic fans saying this. I want to read.

    Don Chaney 1992 fired vibes before Assistant Coach Rudy Tomjanovich became the Head Coach.

    Robert Horry moving to PF to stretch the floor as a 3 point shooter was smart. Sean Elliot trade fail, motivated Robert Horry to be better.

    Joe Mazzulla did a amazing job in the Playoffs after Ime Udoka was fired. Ime Udoka never would've won that Championship, too flawed on Offense drawing plays, substitution patterns are terrible, overplaying guys and they get tired in the 4th quarter.

    JB Bickerstaff and Chris Finch were huge mistakes by the Rockets not keeping them as Head Coach.

    It’s Dillon that we miss dramatically

    The comical thing about Clutchfans is even in hindsight they pick the guy that is less important.

    There are fast scorers who are moderately efficient out on the market.....Green is not even that special.

    Nembhard from the Pacers would help the Rockets at the 2, but they need a capable PG first.

    With the Rockets struggling with trap double teams, I think Jalen's been vindicated being he's gone and we're still struggling

    If DFS was healthy from the start we wouldn't miss Dillon at all.

    But he hasn't been, so here we are.

    Bro just go on Reddit and the subreddit and search Ime. They’re not even over critical. Jsut honest. It was a sub after they won the championship asking if they would’ve done it with one and the majority said no or doubtful. They said the offense constantly stagnated because of Ime’s blind love for smart and Williams. And that the defense was great but not because of Ime since it was great before Ime came to Boston
