Seriously, do we have a thread to discuss Xs and Os? Who in the staff deserves credit Bzdelik style here? This guy had us playing top pick and roll defense against the MVP and the champs with FVV, Aaron freaking holiday, Sengun, Tate and Eason. I can't explain that.
When Ryan was saying how Ime was showing Jalen game film on the flight home from Cali. That's real coaching. Silas did nothing
He's THE key offseason addition. I didn't expect us to be this good this early. We are clamping down on defense and are in games until the end. With a little bit of luck We would easily be 10-4 right now. No one expected that before the season.
It’s plenty of photos with Silas sittin with Bari and Jalen showing them film .. don’t have to lie to uplift Ime
In the 4th quarter he brought in Sengun very early because he sensed that they were gaining momentum. He can make mid game adjustments, he has counters, he has moves. Silas cost us many games by being passive. You knew exactly when Sengun or Jalen was gonna check in because it was fixed he would never change it.
Ime has actually made me do a complete 180 on how much coaching matters. I was in the "coaching doesn't really make much of a difference" camp for most of my bball watching life, but this is just ridiculous. I think it's more pronounced because we are such a young team. Silas was really THAT bad, and Ime is also THAT good. Because the gap is enormous, like, I don't even recognize these guys from last year.
Popovich without dementia. Plus he's taller more handsome and his dick is working. Superior to that old fart in every single way imaginable.
