They made that run because of coaching. With Ime this team isn’t as successful. JT is definitely a top 10 player now but that’s not guaranteed dominance. But we’ll see.


You acting like they haven’t been in the playoffs and been to the ECF like 4 times in the last 6 years. This ain’t Memphis Grizzlies breh. Ime was a great coach but let’s not act like they don’t have a chance to get out of the east without him.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
It's pretty self-explanatory.

You believed it didn't make any sense, at all, that it could possibly be sexual harassment as he'd be fired, but now you're entertaining the possibility it could be framed as "sexual harassment". It speaks to the entanglement of mental gymnastics you've got yourself into in this thread. I made sense of the situation as it occurring after the consensual relationship (as everyone did in the thread), as it typically does in these instances; that doesn't take away from the notion of it being sexual harassment, regardless, if it occurred before or after.

You're the one who switched up his shyt.

Furthermore, it'd be remiss to think just because it occurred before that it doesn't have the same gravity (as after), as women in lower-ranking positions can easily fall victim into being preyed upon, putting themselves in a position where they enter a "consensual relationship" out of fear of losing their jobs or their reputations being marred. Now, that's not to say that's what happened here, but this is the reason why workplace relationships, particularly when it involves a subordinate are not only frowned upon but forbidden.

Even if Udoka is relatively innocent in all this (in a moral sense), then the punishment of a one-year suspension and his place in the NBA forever tainted, is justified, if only for the fact it'll scare coaches or any high-ranking personnel from going down the same path (where it leads to more devastating consequences).

Cool story bro. Nobody cares what you have to say tho

Oh didn’t realize that. Joe Budden said he heard the same thing on his pod today tho.

Maybe that’s what happened, maybe not.

Either way I feel like this story has become one big game of telephone and we’ll probably never know for sure the complete details of what actually happened. Folks will just pick whatever story sounds most realistic to them and run with it

Would be surprised if it was Wyc's wife. He was way too cool and composed during that press conference, if that's the case. :pachaha:

It would make sense cause the way Boston handled this seems more out of pettiness and just to embarrass Ime. Nothing they mentioned is that bad or suspension worthy so far. My only question is why Ime would go along with it of that's the case. Just resign and he would get another job immediately.

Teams already have their coaches set going into training camp and owners would be wary anyways until full details come out. And yeah, it seems like the staffer story (if true) is being used as a smokescreen to hide bigger scandal (eg owners wife) that he’s really being punished for.
