Happy for him ☘️
SAS, a "reporter", is arguing in favor of a cover up. His position is that YOU shouldn't know what happened. Does SAS really work fo ryou? He claims to know a bunch of sttuff but won't tell you.
Not really knew since we know that other coat wasn't coming back they had to replace him somebody
Foh he reaping ime’s work lol
I’m a HUGE CELTIC FAN Smith is absolutely right
Round of applause for that Guy he Chewing 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh oh Stephen a now you in trouble Malika coming for your head
Premature decision. Mixed feelings
The WOKE media is back qgqin
This "the Celtics airing Udoka's business on front street" is nonsense. Celtics hired a firm to investigate the matter for months before the public even found out about the issue. Shams and Woj learned about it days before the decision to suspend Udoka was handed down. IMO, an employee from the Celtics organization or coaching staff alerted the sports media. If the Celtics purposely leaked it to smear Udoka, why do it before handing out the punishment? Shouldn't they have done it before the investigation even started?? Make it make sense. Stephen A. should stop with this narrative.
The video is about celebrating Coach Mazulla's promotion, which is well deserved.
Ime a grown man. How about he lays in the bed he made? Blaming the team for his actions. Perhaps he wanted a cover up.
They should of mentioned who the women was tbh they both adults yes i get the contract and all that but she is as responsible as he is but since she a women nobody mentioned her named to me that's wrong asf
Ahh. Nothing like race talk in the morning with my coffee and breakfast . 😂 sports media is obsessed with race more than Fox , MSNBC or CNN..
Good the Celtics chose character. Steven A totally wrong here
He's right. Ime should've been fired but it shoulda stayed an HR issue
STEVEN A SMITH IS AS SHARP AS A TACK 🔥🔥
THANK YOU MOLLY..for giving Mazzula his flowers💯 because that's what it was about. SAS rehashing the EXACT same rhetoric (regarding Udoka) that we heard over the summer was not necessary. This was about Coach Mazzula.
Man Ime put getting with a 4 over his marriage, career and a championship contending team. He deserved this L
How are you going to blame the Celtics when Woj was literally the one to break the story 😂
Ugh, I don’t know how pro ANY team could suspend or fire its coach and it we never know about it or the team not have to answer questions about it. Make that make sense. SAS said just fire him and then ask ime, well, they punished him for ‘violating a team rule” and then answer questions about it. Love Nia but her expectations of what the Celtics should of done for her were unrealistic.
Remember the days of turning your tv or radio on for sports news…or reading the newspaper..get all your stats, highlights, standings, relevant stuff??.Good Days! Now there's so much pandering, gossip, hot takes and just plain tmz b.s. If only we could just turn back the clock 👍
So sick of this narrative. It's just selective memory and victim mentality, let's try to keep pushing each other further apart by making a situation as simplistic as skin color. I can think of plenty of situations that were publicized from the other side and even higher positions then NBA franchises
Y’all not listen as a Celtics fan myself all SAS is saying is how they went about it wrong. He didn’t say what IME did was right but how they organization went about it publicly. Ime could of took this L in private but instead was embarrassed nationally while yet again the person who was in the act with him is still being protected when are we going to know who this other person is? When are we going to know why they gave him that 1 year suspension? Yeah we happy for mazzula def never hating or wanting to see another black man down and love this for mazzula. But Ime took us to that promise land so why not give him another shot everybody deserves a second chance
Anyone could of seen that coming a mile away.
I agree with SAS saying that the Celtics mishandled the issue and should have just fired Udoka, but I wish they talked more about Mazzulla since that was the topic. He's done an amazing job as the HC, especially under the circumstances. Boston #1 in the east and maybe talk about more about that
