Ime Udoka on loss to Jazz: "Guys looked like they didn't want to play"

It doesn't take a fortune teller to realize that a 33% 3 point shooter isn't going to magically becomes a 47% 3 point shooter overnight.

 

One trillion percent

 

Sit Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks out. No more minutes for them.

 

It’s absolutely a blessing in disguise and why these games are so valuable. You want to make an informed decision on who you want to build with. We would much rather this game come now, rather than the first game after his extension. That doesn’t mean we dump him, but we want this data point BEFORE we decide whether to extend him or trade him.

 

Ime tomorrow should make them run suicides until they pass out. These ****ing kids are professionals. They should be playing every single minute as if their spot is in jeopardy.

 

It's his job. Phil Jackson won what 9 titles and he was never really the tactician. Inspiration, feedback, reward system are all just as much his job as in-game strategy. Is there a point at which coaches no longer have to praise good performances or criticize bad ones?

I wish he had said what you said. Another public lashing was appropriate here.

 

I bet Ime sits a number of guys tomorrow vs Portland on a back to back.

 

Phil Jackson coached MJ, Pippen, Kobe and Shaq. Despite the best efforts of some CF dreamers, we don’t have anyone remotely resembling that on our roster after putting together the worst 3 year stretch in league history.

 

Jalen Green sucks as ususal

 

I'm not sure how that's relevant. I'm just pointing out it is Udoka's job to chew them out if they mail it in. I wanted him to be harder with it.

It sounds like you, too, feel like there's more to say about how bad this performance was so I'm not sure what we're disagreeing about.

 

I guess I misunderstood you. My bad

 

Getting benched because you can’t compete with the likes of this Jazz team speaks volumes. Jalen’s trade value may be very useful this offseason.

 

On the contrary, he made this move specifically because he wants to get Jalen ready for next year. Same with Jabari. He's letting these kids know he means business and is willing to continue to sit their asses when they don't give the effort.

Just like when he sat Alpe for defensive reasons earlier this season, it wasn't because he didn't believe he should be on the team next year, it was because he knew he could do better.

 

Hope not. I've got tickets.

 

Jabari's rebounding and Jalen's overall effort were horrendous

 

Blazers game I suppose, also to the Crypto arena?

 

Jalen Green. Holy cow. This guy oscillates between looking like a pro and being an absolute bum. Trade his ass.

 

They need this.

 

Yeah Green is a **** stain.

 

This is what he's looking at after the game.... that was decided by 3 points.....




Two way off the grid. Others within the margin of error.

All effort team: FVV / Landale / Cam / Holiday / Amen**: +29
All not on next year's roster team: Jalen / Bullock: -35

**-1 is same as 0 & the 6 MoreyO's, 2 steals earn the nomination
