[Bill Simmons] ‘I think this has been one of the worst coaching jobs of the year. Ime makes no adjustments, the vibes are awful…I don’t think he likes the team.’
And I don’t think the team likes him
And I don’t think the team likes each other
Does this happen everywhere KD goes?
Well only one person really didnt like KD on golden state
but the person is draymond
and draymond is draymond
You mean the bitch that sucker punched his own teammate. Couldn’t even square up. I couldn’t imagine why. I’m still waiting on someone to bitchslap draymond. Wemby almost did it. Someone new school will clock that old timer before retirement. 🙏🏼
Dillon the Villain’s redemption arc
“Mister Green, I’m sorry to bother you, but there are four white men at the front door. They’re very tall, they look unhappy, and I don’t think they’re from around here, sir.”
But KD didn’t like Kerr, didn’t lile Curry or Draymond according to the KD files.
what files did you read lol
They’re talking about the leaked Twitter DMs
I assumed it was just KD not liking KD in GS. Especially since I had been under the impression Draymond helped recruit him to Oakland.
It’s never KDs fault. Always everyone else on every team since forever but never his - KDburnerAccount
To be fair, the Nets disaster was Kyrie
uhhh, remember steve nash???
that coaching stint was a complete disaster and im pretty sure it was KD who vouched for him the most to become the Nets coach and allow the Iso Gang to do whatever they wanted to
Maybe not the team hating KD part cause I think GSW was fine with KD and wanted to make it work bar Draymond?
But he seems to be unhappy about the team at every stop. OKC, GSW, Nets, Houston, whether it’s he dislikes what the team does like Houston, doesn’t want to fit into the team like GSW, or doesn’t like the results of his own machinations like the Nets, he never seems happy.
Phoenix too
Knew I was missing a spot lmao
I don’t remember anything with PHX pertaining him.
There was no one major event, but the vibes soured hard, and KD had three coaches in Phoenix for reasons.
Yup
People were saying they hope he goes to the sonics. I hope he doesn’t
KD absolutely hates Sengun
I mean, don’t we all?
The reaction to the Sengun block was telling. Nobody even helped him up with his face busted up.
He says he doesn’t like you
I don’t like you either!
Pew pew!
I dont think very many people like him. He seems like a dick.
“Seems”? Lol
He managed fine as an assistant in San Antonio. I guess he just kept his head down and read the room well enough?
Ime not sure what gave you that idea
Ime’s adjustment is calling the team bitches at halftime and postgame
It’s been a while since I’ve heard of some good Udoka coaching.
2022 Celtics when they had rob Williams guard non shooters and basically play free safety.
But if you listen to “insiders” that might have been more a mazzula and will hardy idea
That was such a goated staff.
And got completely outcoached by Kerr and his guys that finals too
Kerr is a good coach.
And just that little generational top-10 player of all time still in his prime
Bostons strategy game 1 against that generational player was to sag their big men off on high screens, and it gave Steph tons of space to get shots off.
One of the worst strategies I’ve ever seen
The Celtics won Game 1.
I actually think when the finals came around ime stipped crowdsourcing as much. During the season they had a lot of adjustments and creativity in lineup and play style. Then in the finals all of that dried up. Ime has an ego and I sort of think he just decided he wasn’t gonna play hero coach.
Charles Lee too
It also wasn’t totally revolutionary, they got it from the bucks lol
Bud had Brook as a rim protector and had Giannis as a defensive free safety while Jrue basically directed. The Celtics just did it with Horford, Williams and Smart instead but did it better because Horford was more mobile, and Tatum is a better defender than Middleton.
Warriors did it to Tony Allen with Bogut/Draymond all the way back in 2015 and it completely changed the series
This doesn’t make much sense because in 2023, when Mazzula was head coach, in the second round against Philly it took him until game 7 to finally start playing that lineup which seemed very sensible (P.J. Tucker being the non-shooter for Rob Williams to tag onto).
The double big lineups were a Udoka thing and he loved them, he prefers them even in Houston. Mazzula has always played smaller.
That’s why I put insiders in quotes sometimes when you hear stuff like that it’s just good PR for the guy that’s still there. Like well actually he’s the genius behind the whole thing.
Obviously I don’t know who actually was implementing that
He reminds me a bit of Mark Jackson when he was the Warriors coach
Toxic asshole who helped build a strong team defense but had a very limited offensive system that was largely just “best scorer bail me out”. There’s even the bench a talented young player who should be starting but isn’t because you don’t like them parallel between Barnes and Shepherd as well. Needless to say it’s a pretty strong match.
Mark Jackson was the worst… it was actually Erman who designed that defense too
Ime is better than Mark Jackson.
Does anyone have a Steve Kerr sitting around by chance?
I hate how true this is.
Just seems like he decided to punt on the season once FVV went out but didn’t tell anybody
He was in it until Jackson went down
Which really doesn’t work for kd
When you say that do you mean calling the players bitches or calling the bitches that work for the team? Cause he seems to like the 2nd one as well.
Can imagine the RDCworld skit already
I’ll take him as the coach
He adjusts the level of profanity.
The 9 stages of kd:
stage 1: We’re contenders
stage 2: We’re winning
stage 3: Vibes for some reason aren’t that great anymore
stage 4: We’re losing
stage 5: Fire the coach
Stage 6: Hire new coach
Stage 7: We won initially, but we’re losing again and the vibes are awful.
Stage 8: Acceptance
Stage 9: Trade KD.
Somewhere in there is “get kd help” then “blame the help”
Yeah that’s the most important part, he averages 25-26 on good efficiency all the time, so you hesr about how KD is carrying bums to this and the team would be nowhere near this without him, but the team wasn’t that bad before him and the team does just fine after him
KD about to get another coach fired and demand a trade lmao
I thinks rockets fans would be ecstatic with that outcome
Honestly would be win win for them lmao.
Biggest loss is somehow losing Dillon Brooks somehow.
Because tari is yeeks
i think there’s a growing contingent of us that want both out. kd never fit the timeline. he’s a great player, but we should have used this time to further develop young talent and assess what we had. if there’s a kd market, id love to swap him for young talent or future assets and go back to being a scrappy young team with upset potential than be someone who you have to take seriously as you have an aging superstar and that’s what the timeline demands. i say all this as someone who bought the kd jersey frame 1 as he’s my favorite player of all time.
I saw Nets fans say the same thing after the trade to Phx 3 years ago (the part about wanting to go back to the pre-KD scrappy team).
And look at where that organization is now. Gutted and still going nowhere.
They’ll eventually turn it around at some point, but all I’m saying is be careful what you wish for. That tank and lose strategy isn’t fun at all.
yeah but tbf they made horrible move after horrible move with all the other guys harden for simmons who’s literally not in the league. kyrie for a box of peanuts. they let go of every player who made that team scrappy. it wasn’t some monkeys paw wish, that franchise was run into the ground with horrible decision making all around.
Yeah. Feels like you went “all in” too early. Partially probably because Ime kinda accelerates your timeline, bigger factor is probably the ownership.
But i also think it’s kinda hindsight when you’d fare a lot better with FVV not out for a season lol
nah. people keep saying that but that mf shot like 27 percent on like 7 attempts per game from three. fred was absolute buns last season, saying he, or any pg, would help this team is cope. the team is constructed horribly and coached even worse. we needed to stay low expectations to let guys flourish. the pressure of having to win has killed the joy.
Eh, the Rockets win a few more games with FVV if only for the reason they are not turning the ball over at the rates they are. FVV was good at that, ball security.
No way in hell the collapse in that minny game with FVV because he’s smart enough to slow the pace down and run the clock out for a win. FVV actually runs the offense and gets to call shots, I don’t think the value of him was his shooting (although he turned up in the playoffs) its the Bball IQ and being a leader which the team no longer has because KD is the actual opposite of a leader lol.
Teams are full pressing the Rockets and its working. I don’t think its cope when you literally don’t have a starting level PG on the team. As much as teams try to play positionless bball, the best teams still have a PG and a Center, you’re not winning games without at least a starting level PG and or Center on your team.
Ime lashings are deserved
Ime is trying to get fired all by himself
I tune out people talking about coaches when they say “no adjustments”
It’s such a lazy critique, 99% of the time the person saying it can’t recognize adjustments when they happen
Rockets lost two most important cogs in their offense the point guard who sets the table and the bruising center whose offensive rebounding gives a bad shooting team extra chances. Houston actually had the number 1 offense for a while early in the season. There’s only so many adjustments a coach can make when no one can make plays or create for themselves.
Houston also was shooting a very unsustainable clip from 3, which as soon as that fell down to earth their offense cratered. Then Adams got hurt and it just killed it fully, as they couldn’t rely on getting 60% of their misses, or whatever crazy number that stat was at the time.
Tari Eason went from 46% to 15% on threes
Like huge regression to the mean.
A shorthanded roster can struggle and the coach can still be making clearly bad decisions at the same time.
And it’s been made clear that this is the case.
For example, calling timeouts is about game management.
Why don’t they just turn all their G-Leaguers and 2-ways into great players? Are they stupid?
If Spo can do it why can’t Ime? Maybe he is stupid smh my head
Agreed. He took a 22 win team to 52 wins in 2 seasons with a pretty mediocre rotation of young guys and castaways. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills suggesting that maybe they shouldn’t fire the guy after one disappointing season with two big injuries and a star player who grenaded their chemistry mid season.
100%. I remember back in the 2022 Celtics-Nets series people were yelling about Nash not making any adjustments. It became a huge talking point. Then there was a game where Stan Van Gundy was on the mic and he instantly dismissed that and pointed out all the changes that went unnoticed because most people didn’t know what they were actually looking at.
The usual buzzwords are all about adjustments, rotations and timeouts. And it’s always coming from a results based analysis. There’s never any consideration of the absurd amount of variables a coach has to take into consideration for those things. Sometimes a coach does make all the “correct” decisions but due to things outside their control they still lose the game and the couch critics think they were “out coached.”
damn this is the truth, but nobody that needs to read this is actually going to read this
Yep I was thinking of when SVG pointed this out as well
For Mazzulla’s first season, the Celtics sub was insufferable, constantly comparing him unfavorably to Udoka and claiming he didn’t make adjustments. Like, do these people think that Brad Stevens is going to keep a guy who doesn’t make adjustments as the head coach of the team he runs?
most people think defenders just pick a random spot to stand because they’re used to their dogshit franchise having dogshit coaching.
nurse vs stevens in the bubble was some peak basketball and mfs were STILL complaining about “adjustments”
Yeah that is fair and I don’t think outsiders have enough information to criticize smaller in-game adjustments.
But I also don’t think Udoka has an offensive system at all. It was basically “offensive rebound all the missed shots” but when Adams went down, the only other player really doing much of that was Amen Thompson.
KD isn’t helping the locker room but Ime bears the responsibility for not setting the right tone too. He’s the coach and is even more responsible for holding the players in check and setting the right environment. Udoka cares more about looking like a hardass and banging people at work than actually doing coaching
He should make the halftime adjustment of trading for a PG and refuses to do so.
Agreed—it’s also not that simple. Often a lot of times people who complain about lack along adjustments can’t tell you what “adjustments” should be made
That said, I agree with Bill that the vibes are in hell.
100% agree. They tried that weak shit on JJ for a while. These coaches have forgotten more about basketball than we know, at a certain point we should leave the x’s and 9’s critiques alone.
Bill Simmons probably knows one or two things about basketball
I think you’re right here. Sengun went atomic in 4th….. right after Gobert and Naz were tossed.
Was that an adjustment? No clue. But there was certainly a change in play following a shift in the game
1000%. It’s funny that media heads like Bill just don’t really know basketball like a coach or someone who actually is involved with the game.
Rockets fan here.
Here, the criticism applies. Ime seemingly has lost any and all ability to pivot from a defensive gameplan that no longer works, nor adapt to what defenses are throwing our offense.
You would think we were racing to tank based off his in game decisions
Rockets need a savant like Glenn Rivers
I cannot think of a coach and player that deserve each other more than Doc and KD.
KD to the bucks?
I was thinking they team up in Seattle.
Nah, Seattle doesn’t deserve that. Vegas does though.
I mean, depending on what we give up, it would probably make our team better. We are ASS
NGL Thibs would do an amazing job with that roster.
DO NOT bring that idea into the world!
It doesn’t help when Kevin Durant basically calls out every player’s flaws, buried most of the roster, lit up the coaching staff as well, and Mocked the player that is supposed to be the second best player on this team in sengun, and it doesn’t help when Kevin Durant basically said I am great but the rest of these guys suck it is not my fault, if only I was on the Charlotte hornets.
This is a Kevin Durant master class in how to destroy your team all because he couldn’t stay off his account burners and wanted to entertain his friends.
And before people say the Young guys in Houston need to get over it, imagine probably being a fan of a guy who is an all time great, Kevin Durant is smiling in your face telling you, you can be great and then behind your back Kevin Durant has a burner account flaming you saying you guys suck.
And then you watch an 18 year veteran Hall of famer that can’t handle a simple double team. If the rockets lose in the first round with Kevin Durant, after losing in the first round last year without Kevin Durant, I guarantee you they are going to be leaks about the young players talking about Kevin Durant being divisive.
He’s 37. He’s spent the last several years bouncing around the league destroying team chemistry every where he goes.
The dude is essentially done. He puts up way better stats then most people do that age, but father time is barring down on him.
His own greatness is overblown and has done nothing but hurt his legacy over the last few years.
Can’t take the responsibility so takes it out on his team.
He showed us he’s a bitch when he joined GS and a lot of behaviour since then just reinforced that thought.
Dude is averaging 26⁄4.5⁄5.5 on 51/41/87
Father time isn’t bearing down on him at the moment , he’s just massively toxic
There’s a large contingent of Sonics fans who want him back when the team returns, and I can’t figure out how to get it into their heads that he’s a toxic viper and building a new team with him as a $30 million a year 40 year old will be hell.
It would be fun for him to play like one game.for the sonics before he retires. Just a nice full circle moment, but I completely agree with you. Not the piece to start building your team around. And I feel like the Sonics will be pretty savvy and trying hard to get competitive fast as possible.
I always thought he got unfairly judged for Golden State because the goal is rings and he never had or ever would get easier shots in his life. I’m supposed to blame him for not passing it up?
But damn, everything since then has been a wreck. The only situation that he even seemed somewhat content in was the peak Kyrie drama Nets. Maybe a Steph-Klay backcourt was like his basketball nirvana and everything since can’t reach it.
So hes basically late career Shaq??
IDK I feel like Shaq acceptable his role and declining body far more than KD has.
Honestly KD acts like he could still lead a team to the finals if his team mates would just step up. He could be a piece of a finals team if he would accept a role other than head bitch in charge.
I think Shaq realized he was a role player with a diminishing role and was there to help young guys. At very least the last 2-3 years.
To be fair to him he probably could. He just absolutely cannot be the leader as shown on the Nets, Suns and now Rockets. KD is as much of a mercenary as it gets. He has no problem asking out if it starts looking rough.
I can see him going to the Pistons if they don’t make a deep run. Or they feel like he’ll put them over the top because Cade needs help. And it honestly could work because Cade is a great leader and facilitator. KD can focus on scoring and taking behind his teammates’ back.
That would destroy the Pistons identity. They’re a team of hardworking DOGS who want to play hard. KD won’t fit that. Also, he’d be playing with the other Thompson twin. I wonder how Amen is going to feel about KD on his way out of Houston.
KDs burner tweets truly ruined this team. This team has not been the same. Truthfully, I do not blame them. If I was on that team and the best player is trashing me, what kind of leader is that?
You have the Best player on a team who talks shit about his teammates, and you pair that along with a coach who talks shit about his players publicly, and you got the recipe for a complete meltdown. I feel bad for the younger players who didn’t have time to develop( Reed and Jabari)
The chemistry was already awful before that, tbf. You can see that KD was already bitching out his team mates on regular basis by watching games and highlights. I thought he was gonna kill Sengun on the court if he fucked up one too many times lol
The burners just made the internal drama public. It’s like if a co-worker was already shitting on you at work and then also went home and talked shit on you to his friends
Ime def shares a ton of value for this choke job. He lost control of his locker room and had no solutions for all the offensive issues they faced all season.
Honestly, this bodes well for Kerr’s tenure in Golden State even more considering how much shit KD has stirred since he’s left.
1000% facts
How lucky did the Celtics get by having to replace Udoka with Mazzulla?
I’m still amazed that Second Row Joe turned into a legitimately great coach.
You can thank angry Unc KD for a lot of that disfunction.
You mean, Mr. Getoffmydickerson
Another coach killer.
Are we sure it isn’t just KD? He’s been the common denominator every single time even though his stats and individual game from the eye test looks great.
Its never his fault.
And its always the hardest road.
He’s a terrible coach… but this tends to keep happening where KD goes.
Somehow the dude hated Kerr even while winning championships
Being the scapegoat for KD
no need for a scapegoat, they’ve had hella injuries and it’s forced them to play a real old durant more than he probably should be at this point. doesn’t always have to be someone’s fault
They have an amazing great young roster. Sengun, Eason, Thomspon, Smith Jr., and Sheppard at between 21 and 24 years old. The Van Vleet and Adams injuries hurt, but the trying to accellerate by adding an aging malcontent superstar has not worked out.
Blame whatever you want, but Phoenix is a having a better season without KD and Houston is having a worse season with him.
Nah they’re both to blame.
Yup, KD is lucky he’s still superstar caliber because any other role player who gets caught doing what he did would get shunned immediately.
Partly Ime, largely the teams build. Amen and Sengun cannot coexist
Amen and Sengun is bad enough. Amen and Sengun without a pg is horrible. Amen and Sengun with KD running point is how you break records for offensive collapses.
FVVs injury was a huge blow and Adams getting hurt was the nail in the coffin.
I’ll be the first to admit that I thought losing FVV wasn’t that significant, but that’s because I thought Ime would hand the keys over to Sheppard. Instead he’s still primarily coming off the bench and the offense is in shambles.
Reed is an undersized 2 guard with some secondary playmaking juice.
As soon as Fred went down, they never had a table setter and I’m not sure why Stone never chose to get one after the injury. Van Fleet is also a good shooter. It’s why their offense bogs down so much. Then when Adams went down, they lose their offensive rebounding which was one of things masking their lack of a playmaking guard.
Look I’m not saying Sheppard was a plug and play solution. However, for the rockets to just take all the playmaking responsibility and put it on Sengun, Amen, and old KD, that’s irresponsible lol.
Plus they 100% could use Sheppard in the starting lineup just for his shooting lol
Its not the coach. Its KD. He had the same bad vibes in GS. He had Bad vibes in Nets. He had bad vibes in Phoenix. Now he pretty much ruined Rockets team this year. They would have been better off without him.
Why did it seem like ime was doing a great job with the team last year. Then Durant comes and it’s one of the worst coaching jobs in the league.
don’t know why they’re blaming coaching when Rockets don’t even have a PG. also Adams who’s OREB is a big part of their identity. a healthy Rockets would look much different
They have a PG! They chose to keep him benched all last year, and most of this year too. They had a bunch of opportunities to trade one of their glut of D-and-sort-of-3 wings for one of several point guards who were available this year. Trae got traded for a bag of beans, and if Ime insists on having a better defender in there (which is reasonable) Ayo Dosunmu, Colby White and Jose Alvarado all got traded for pretty cheap.
Adams is a huge loss, but part of the reason he’s such a big loss is that they don’t have an offensive system beyond chucking shots at the rim and getting rebounds. All the points they get are hard.
dawg Reed is not a starting caliber PG
which he fit into. lots of 2nd chance opportunities for a team that isn’t great at 3’s. not prettiest basketball but it worked
Reed is absolutely good enough to start, and he’d be better if Ime played him rather than doing this insane Amen Thompson no-spacing thing after Adams went down.
He’s part of the roster construction…… we could’ve had harden back in Houston but he decided Fred van fleet was better.
Major fumble in hindsight. Harden with all that rebounding and athleticism would’ve been nice.
that was 3 years ago lol. since then Harden already bounced from his latest team
and its not on ime if a player gets a season ending injury multiple years later. Imes not a good dude and i question his leadership skills, but this is flaming him for the wrong thing.
shit they had the cap space to overpay him lol, I’m sure they could’ve convinced harden to stay
And now his current team is going to the playoffs while his former team is likely headed to the lotto. Which is probably why he was traded..
Forreal. Fire him and get who? Some other team would love Ime
Which team would love Ime? Kind of hard to envision a team that could tolerate his style and don’t already have a coach they like
Philly? Portland?
I would love to move on from nurse but no thank you. Nope. Nope.
You cannot hold your season hopes on Steven Adams lmfao
You know exactly why they’re blaming the coach
I wish some genius stat guy here makes a comparison of stats pre and post KD burner leak, so we can confirm statistically if that destroyed the vibes or Rockets was just a fraud the whole year.
The leak was around the All-Star Break. Before it, they were 33-20 with the 6th best net rating in the league. Since it they are 8-7 with the 16th best net rating.
Thanks genius stat guy, getoffmydickerson legacy will be that of a chemistry killer
inject all the Ime slander into my VEINS
Can’t imagine how ass the vibes are with KD and Ime constantly pouting
When I watch HOU offense I see the same problems we saw in BOS during Ime’s tenure
“Adjustments” is one of the dumbest terms I hear in basketball discourse
At this point I’m just blaming Durant. Everywhere he goes the vibes are a disaster. I don’t know why anyone would want him.
Idk what else Ime can do.
KD sucked. He normally doesn’t .
Yeah he’s a mediocre coach lol.
He got really lucky when Tatum went fucking super saiyan in game 6 against Milwaukee to save the season.
Us making the finals raised his profile way more than he deserved.
The celtics needed a Psycho (good) not a Psycho (bad)
Technically yall were also a legendary finals game 4 Curry game away from taking a commanding 3-1 lead
Biggest accomplishment is fumbling Nia Long and the best coaching job in the league in the same month.
It’s KD lmao.
I’m a suns fan and loved the team until kd showed up and made it awful to watch.
There’s only one common denominator.
Ime does like the team and fans. The team doesn’t like Ime and the fans. The fans don’t like the team or Ime. They were made for each other.
I don’t think he likes anyone or anything
Common denominator on teams with shitty vibes at the end of the season: Kevin Durant.
Bill Simmons has always been and will always be full of shit
Should have went all in on Giannis and did whatever it takes. Udoka can’t go full psycho because KD has to much superstar aura and he knows he loses that power struggle. KD legit may be insufferable.
Giannis a killer and is a perfect player for udoka.
The Steven Adams injury is what did them in. He gave them so much versatility and creativeness with their lineups. Once he went down they lost that superpower.
I remember making a comment last year that Rockers looks scary and maybe just needs KD. I like KD but he really is the problem. Can’t win with him if he isnt with Curry.
Everything started to turn to shit as soon as Steven Adams was out. Massively underrated player.
What’s not to love?
it’s sengun
guy seems the worst vibes to play with
Saw the first sentence and knew it was the Rockets
Ime Udoka is just a unfaithful Darvin Ham
I agree they should be better.
Team killer KD
Everywhere he goes post GS, KD gets a coach fired. It’s like the damn grim reaper meme.
Damn I got a crazy jump scare from Bill’s mug when I opened the thread.
Bill must not like Ime huh cuz bill won’t a fucking thing about doc fucking rivers coaching.
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THIS TODAY like it must be fucking awful playing for him and I feel like he does a horrible job of motivating his players. He points out and yells at them about every small mistake instead of refocusing them and giving them direction on how to correct. It’s sad to watch and a big reason why the Rockets are the number one villain team this year imo. And you can tell that his disrespect and overcompensating insecure aggression just permeates through the team culture and gives the players license to give in to their worst instincts. Shitty coaching.
Bill Simmons will do anything but blame Kevin Durant, what other star player gets this treatment, well apart from Glenn.
Yes the suns looked horrid without a point guard- most teams look like this
oh look, …..another team Durant’s done nothing for…………..
KD is one of the most overrated stars ever
Not crazy about this take.
What can a coach do with a team that (1) starts several non-shooters and (2) does not have a high-end PG (Sheppard is good, but not great atm)? Plus, he has KD, who starts killing the vibes the moment anything goes sour.
I was surprised that Ime was able to make the team play so well before, but that was centered around elite rebounding from Steven Adams. Without him, they no longer have an edge.
But I was told he was great coach who deserve a second chance!
He’s absolutely correct.
Overrated coach with a super overrated team
They never should have gone for KD. They should have waited and gone for Giannis
So what was the difference between this year and last year? Health and quality of the point guard position.
Insane that the first Nigerian coach (I know of) in this league is known for being an adulterer and a dick head
It is kind of amusing to me that after game three of the 2023 Eastern conference finals, Celtics fans were in their feels about Ime getting fired and begging for his return and demanding Mazzula get fired now a few years later mazulla looks like one of the best coaches in the NBA and Ime is a clown
Cupcake
It’s a top-down, complete clusterfuck. Zero adjustments from Ime. Sheppard and (sometimes) Jabari are the only players on the team who look better than they were last year. Front office refused to make a play for anyone that could help with lack of a PG, and the FA moves have been disastrous.
Bad vibes from KD are just icing on the cake. There really isn’t one solution and it’s clear getting back Adams and FVV next year doesn’t automatically vault this team into contention.
Anyone have faith that the nepo baby son of the ambassador to Italy is going to be able to figure this out?
When I watch them it’s mainly the offense that looks horrid. I can’t see them getting out of second round with the lack of scoring/offense they’ve shown this season.
