Amazing quote. He will be great for the Rockets. Complete 180 from Stephen Silas

Houston Brehs, make sure you take care of this amazing coach :mjcry:

Thanks Ime Udoka for turning the Celtics around and making Jaylen and Jayson realize their potential

Udoka was a good coach but let's not forget he blew the Finals up 2-1 @UpAndComing

Just because Mazzulla is ass doesn't mean Udoka was the best.

How soon we forget July 2021 when Udoka got hired on the Celtics, where the team was

- How soon we forget Celtics were one of the most inconsistent defensive teams I've ever seen towards Brad Steven's last couple years as a coach
- How soon we forget Celtics had the most disjointed and predictable offense where Tatum and Brown struggled to coexist offensively
- How soon we forget Celtics fans rejoicing when Tatum and Brown would pass the ball to each other once a week lol
- How soon we forget Marcus Smart was a complete looney tune and actually thought he was a Big 3 with Tatum and Brown lol
- How soon we forget the team tuning Brad Stevens out as well as in-fighting constantly
- How soon we forget Al Horford running for the hills leaving this team and going to the Sixers because it got so toxic
- How soon we forget Tatum and Brown shying away from being leaders and lacking in playmaking skills, and on record saying "No one should be team leaders"

For Ime Udoka to turn all of that around as well as get to the Finals in one year is a testament to the type of coach he is

Let's not forget Brad Stevens was allowed to have unlimited grace of coaching this team for 8 years with all the aforementioned problems he created and never making the Finals. But I get it, he's white and young so no one bats an eye

I was done with Stevens as a coach, I don't care about him in that role. I give credit to Udoka for turning the defense around for sure. Tatum/Brown's growth was only stunted by Kyrie and Hayward's presence. We were saying it then. They were already showing flashes at age 20 and 19 respectively going head to head with LeBron. Let's not forget that. They were on their way.

Offensively, the Celtics were still a nightmare at times last year. I'm pointing out that Udoka was up 2-1 in the Finals are squandered it. That doesn't mean I want Brad back :dead:

Losing the finals after being up 2-1 isn’t ’blowing’ the finals it’s….losing the finals. By the coli’s standards there’a basically no good coach. Any loss y’all seem to be obsessed with the notion you could ‘adjustments’ your way to the win. That ain’t how it works.
