I think Ime will ultimately be judged by the playoffs results. Last year was the first experience for a young team. This year is the true test. (I guess losing FVV and Adams may be used as an excuse. But the young core is supposed to have grown a year, both in experience and in skills.) Coaching is important in the playoffs because game planning and adjustment may be the difference between winning and losing. You can't just ask the players to play harder. Everybody plays harder in the playoffs.
I find it funny at all the people defending this regime filling the roster with non-shooters, and now that those non-shooters shoot exactly how they did their entire careers, just blame on the players. Ime asked for a bunch of defenders and rebounders in the offseason. he needs to successfully coach the guys he wanted.
How many fourth quarter leads did mazulla blow? How many fans complain about boston’s offense being stagnant under mazzulla like they did under Ime?
Every single example you listed, the common theme of the series is that their star player was injured. No one considers the raptors run any special with how injured the warriors team is. Jimmy butler would barely bend himself in game 5 of that series, yet that series went to 7 and was decided by seconds on that shot clock.
Who’s no one? People do talk about how good Kawhi and that Raptors team was. Butler played great that what great players do. You’re both minimizing his play and Boston’s accomplishments. Again Mazzula beat an injured luka yet you said Mazzula is a better coach
Mazulla is a far better coach not because of that run only but because of the teams playoff successes and the fact that they’ve been without their star player all season and they still are a way better team than the rockets.
I have not come across it, what I meant, 98.99% I read is about Udoker sucking at coaching Offense and not being able to develop talent. That is 100% basketball related though. The other 0.5% is about Udoker being a secksual animal in Boston.
He will be judged by how much he plays DFS. Right now he's playing him at maximum so he gets maximum hate
Dude he lost the very first year he was head coach to a 7th seed Miami team. Won a championship with a stacked team then lost to a lower seed Knicks team in Second round 24-25. Besides that one year with a stacked team, what playoff success has he had? I asked you a question which you didn’t answer. Do you think Udoka would win with that stacked team in 2024? I think he absolutely would have
The larger picture please, Mazzulla is more passionate about Offense, and it shows...... Right now it is harder to find the right offensive assistant than a Defensive guy on ur staff.
I responded to the fan’s specific comment on playoff success. As I said again what has Mazzula done besides winning with a stacked team? That’s unfair to judge Udoka in this context because he never had that team
No he wouldn’t. He wouldn’t even trade for those pieces anyway. He’d ask whoever the GM is for more 3 and D wings and zero shot creators while benching peyton prichard like his name is lou williams. Also, that was three years ago. Mazullas growth as a coach is far superior to Imes.
I don’t have time to watch boston play. Asides from the time when they embarrased the rockets at home and Imes tough guy act failed because the celtics just spammed 3s and ime looked like a clueless chicken. He rather had been ejected rather than make any adjustments lol
Lots of assumptions here. A. That was not the question i asked. I didn’t ask you whether he would trade for those pieces. I asked you whether he would win with that same team B. You don’t know whether Udoka would recommend trading for those pieces or not C. You don’t know if this was Brad Stevens’ decision to trade for those pieces D. Payton Pritchard wasn’t as good 4 years ago and to think that players are always playing at the same level and that players are entitled to minutes goes against meritocracy and the idea that hard work and superior performance earns playing time
