What exactly does stephen a think should have happened? The celtics just randomly fire their coach right before the season without saying why? If the celtics had been underperforming under Udoka they may have been able to spin something about the situation not working. But he just took them to the finals. If they had fired him without saying why everyone would have assumed something pretty ugly happened behind the scenes anyway, as there was nothing on court to suggest he should have been fired
I think he implying that muzzla is the mole
Magic need mind his bizness and worry about his purple and gold down 0-3
Hate to say it, SAS is right
Ime Udoka is who the Celtics are missing badly whether you want to admit or not
Celtics really let a gem in Ime Udoka go. Our crumble started with his unfair suspension that lasted too long leaving uncertainty, and then got weirder when he was interviewed for the Nets position, and even more unreasonable when it was announced he was fired. Tatum even said this year that Ime was his favorite coach. Ime was the only one willing to constantly call them out for their turnovers and poor defense. He had real respect also being a former nba player and Pop protege. On top of that, we demoralized Jaylen Brown’s sense of respect and support when Brad offered him up for KD halfway through the season. The team lost their identity and there is no real establishment of a culture here. Smh
Magic keep that same energy with your lakers on the edge of getting sweep
People James Hardin is going back to Houston so he can play that James vs. everyone play he used to do in Houston. No James see that Ime is there and Houston had plans to build something special. I think Houston is the favorite to Lans Jalen Brown. I'm not sure how He and James will fit, but Houston is ready to spend some money, and James knows this.
Malika Andrews is a menace b*tch for adding fuel to the fire, leading to the firing of Ime.
Boston will go back to mediocrity for years to come once they break up this Tatum/Brown duo, which they should…
did magic quit the laker in 2019 as GM?
Magic CAN'T talk. LAKERS got SWEPT.
So let's just blame the coach not the players on the floor….a shame rookie head coach mean while a core of players just don't show up….
Could it be Miami are jus that White Hot Right Now they taking down everyone
Not coaching them boys are soft on the celtics aide
Ok Heat don't take your foot off the Celtics throats for game 4! Focus and closeout strong!
It was a good run Boston. There are steps to success and this is just one of them. There is no failure in sports
Miami owning Boston in basketball hockey and football this year 😂
But stephen a roots against brad stevens has been rooting against him from day 1😂😂😂
If I am not mistaken, Jalen Rose and Perks have praised for Tatum for years.
Why they quit now?
Both conference final over
I 1000% agree with Stephen a and I said the same thing before he did
is anyone on this panel aware that joe M is in the conference finals? with wins over a official top 10 coach if all time in doc rivers after a historicly great season in terms of offense for the team
Justice for Ime! Justice for Isiah! Karma for the Celtics!
Championship coach is crazy doc only won that one with Boston’s big 3
I guess Celtics will have their 4th coach in 4 years.
Ime udoka and Stephen a smith share the same agency
This team is better than last year. So there's no reason they shouldn't be in the finals again.
The series against Heat is one of matchups and adjustments, if your coach can't do that, you're done.
My Cs need to get their organization right, otherwise we will lose even JB and JT.
Who care about magic Tatum is only 25 years very young didn't have greatest big men in nba history kareem abdul jabbar in his side Jason Tatum is beast
Jalen come on with your Wally's Wally's 🧹🧹🧹
Coach Spo is really a problem to these opposing teams.😂
This so called experts keep bringing the word quit. Wrong! The Heat are just too good of a team for Boston. They didn't quit.
Also, what did Woj report on?
