Ime Udoka slams the players and mentions how they made “horrendous mistakes” and were “scared of the moment” during the final 30 seconds in the 4th quarter
Vibes continue to be immaculate
The day after they get eliminated you just know the media is going to drop a story on the Rockets season. And it’s going to be incredible.
“KD was sending tweets during timeouts”
“Ime Udoka has 3 plays in his binder: give the ball to KD, run at the other team harder, and get more rebounds”
You forgot “call them a bitch”
and “fuck they wife”
Udoka makes darvin ham look forgivable lol
Hey hey now, let’s not go too far.
“salute to those guys, helluva ball club”
The tweets during timeouts is hilarious and so on point lmao
I hope it’s a documentary with sit-down interviews.
I wonder if Udoka would be a better fit for college, a la Michael ‘Michael’ Malone. Obviously a good motivator and defensive coach.
I think he should go coach internationally. Find a team that will let him act like a king. It won’t matter if he trashes the players publicly and he can be provided a harem of loyal female staffers.
I’m looking forward to it
Doc Udoka
uDOCa
Boston fans better be thanking that VP’s wife
Ime quickly catching Rivers in playoff TUB (thrown under bus)
Doc Udoka: GOOGLE ME
Google: He got booted out of Boston for fucking a staff member, all the while being married to Nia Long
Ime Ham
It’s the worst team vibes I’ve seen aside from the Phoenix Suns last year
Probably because both teams had one player in common..
Josh Okogie is a vibe killer.
How dare you speak ill of my goat Okogie
If Udoka gets fired, that would mean that KD has seen 5 of his head coaches get fired within 3.5 calendar years
He truly is the Slim Reaper (for coaches)
Celtics got lucky w/ the scandal because Mazzula is a way better coach
Udoka’s getting canned the moment the series is over, so at least we’re near the end of these vibes.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy!
Great way to motivate the team
He knows he’s out, 3-0 the series is over. fuck em
hopefully he doesn’t he even show up on sunday if thats the case
Careful, or you’ll have Darvin Ham coaching your team next.
Okay, but the Ham Pockets’ Rockets sounds fire.
Salute
Go hard on dem dudes
Dunkin’ Darvin Pockets Rockets
Darvin Ham will make the Rockets players go harder on them dudes than Udoka. Darvin Ham’s salutes are crisper than Udoka’s salutes. Please hire Darvin Ham.
y not doc
Contest w/o fouling
then Rocket might get win
why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick?
The ‘ol GetoffmyUdokason
Wouldnt be surprised if he’s texting KD trashing the team
KD be confused whether to reply from his original account or his burner account
About to get the RDCWorld treatment
Even if it’s true what a terrible thing to say publicly when you got a young team. Even on the sidelines he looks like he hates coaching lol
I’d hate coaching too if I fumbled the Boston job… that felt gross typing.
Also fumbled Nia Long
Schroeder level fumble.
Craig was trying so hard to get Nia Long
And then the Celtics coach cheated on Nia Long
She’s so fine.
He‘s just stealing from Doc’s playbook he found laying around that office. Always blame the players.
In any industry, organization, or team - good leaders take the ownership for shortcomings, and give credit for wins.
He hates respecting boundaries in so many different ways.
He looked so disappointed when Smart got fouled on that three, I was laughing pretty hard at it
Bro is a terrorist, with how he’s had this team playing I think he hates Basketball and has been on a mission to get every Rocket fan to hate it too. It’s working.
I’ve never hated this team more than any other season. I just want it over and done with and I hope Old Man Bron put us out of our misery and him out of a job, how perfect would it be after Ime called him a B____?
On to the Astros eerm…….Texans season. Just fade me.
Let’s be real, there’s nothing Udoka could say to motivate the players.
They’re down 3-0. They choked hard in game 3. And KD is about to rule himself out again for game 4.
You could see it in their play in OT. They’re deflated.
Yeah but he didn’t have to try to make it worse either lol
Yea. He basically threw gasoline to the fire. If he had stopped at horrendous mistakes, that would be fine but he had to go further lol.
If we’re being real Udoka played a huge role in the team being down 3-0, both in his actions during the series and his complete inability to develop an offensive system and build young players into that system during the course of the season.
So yea bitching them out at this late juncture is just another effect of his ineptitude that got them to this point
Udoka is not Jabari smith, who threw that pass at Marcus smart which started the whole landslide
They also played 95% of the game, no bench lol
Called them the B word without calling them the B word
You can say bums here
He’s doesn’t need to say it they know they’re bitches lol
Motivate the team? Brother we’re down 3-0, we’re playing like shit and we just fumbled a 6 point lead on some dumb shit.
Let the team have their medicine
In the moment I thought him flipping out over the foul would only hurt the team
Yeah he’s getting fired.
Ime: “LEBRON JAMES BUILT THIS IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS”
LEBRON BUILT THIS (Bronny) IN A CAVE WITH NOTHING BUT HIS COCK
Well, I’m sorry sir but I’m not Lebron’s cock.
No, but you his bitch!
Bronny’s 5 points was needed for the Lakers to tie the game. So if you think about it, LeBron literally created an extra 5 points to help him win a playoff game in the future
All according to his plan
I’m always going to think of it this way now.
Celtics fan must be thanking their lucky stars that an affair led to their current team’s trajectory. Ime Udoka is like a rich man’s Mark Jackson ie toxic ass person who can coach a good defensive team but whose offense is utterly outdated .
Meanwhile Mazzula managed the whole Tatum injury situation and his reintegration back into the squad and alongside Jaylen, perfectly. Couldn’t have done it better.
Celtics really dodged a bullet with Ime.
Mazzula has coached his ass off since becoming head coach not just through the Tatum stuff. He’s a fantastic coach and I’d take him on any team
I was really upset about it at the time. In hindsight, fuck that dude.
I’m ride or die with Joe Mazz
Let’s also give credit to the Celtics for standing on business and letting go of the coach who just took them to the finals.
Such a bold move. Brad really runs a tight ship.
I mean they had buddy on a ring camera threatening the staffer he was fucking, not really like they could hold on to him
Joe is the kind of guy who stays for 20 years.
To be really clear though, Mark Jackson can’t coach a good defensive scheme. He didn’t believe in switching around screens, and a bunch of other dumb sht. The real reason the Warriors got better on defense after his first year was Bogut. He was an amazing, smart, physical defender (whatever else he may be as a screener) and Draymond credits him completely for teaching him how to be a great defender. The Warriors made another big defensive leap when they fired Jackson, and Kerr brought in maybe the best defensive coach ever, Ron Adams. But it was never Mark Jackson. That dude did not realize it wasn’t the 90’s and he was genuinely insane on the side.
Good. He’s a one-trick pony who only knows defense and has no ability at all to bring a team together other than to pretend to be intimidating.
Bro just mean mugs his own players the entire game and mutters under his breath while glaring at them after every play lol. I’d get sick of that real fast. No wonder they don’t run the plays he draws up.
Needs to
At first I was a little concerned how quick the Bucks hired the next head coach, but the plus side we don’t run the risk of hiring this dude
We should have hired Jenkins 1.5 coaches ago
The dude is being out coached by JJ redick. He needs to go.
Chode deserves to be fired
LeBron Lakers have caused some great implosions with this and Memphis
Bron also caused the Rockets a rebuild after they punked them in the Bubble.
Now here he is potentially causing another
He just is the most hated guy even at 41. During Cleveland, it was in places like Toronto, Boston, heck maybe even Indianapolis.
Then he came to Lakers, and now pretty sure Memphis hates him (also, didn’t he make a comment about not liking Memphis as a place, recently?) and Rockets will too.
Why else would Memphis hate him, except for the comments he made about the city?
Second seeded team in 2023, iirc, with DPOY JJJ, offensive rebounder Adams, Dillon Brooks, and Ja Morant got defeated by Lakers, and sent them all different directions. Second seed in West is no joke…or was it?
And different Lakers were leading scorers in all of those four wins, empowered by none other than Bron. And he has gone on record to say this, for example how he wanted Reaves to build confidence by taking over the fourth quarter. So he gave him the ball.
Basically he orchestrated a Lakers show, rather than a Bron and AD show. And to top it all off, that legendary 20⁄20 game.
Edit: A very important and dangerous player with Memphis was NBA’s T-Rex, Desmond Bane, if memory serves right. And he easily was the most effective player against us. It was a pretty good team, if you look at it, while we had basically just removed Russ and traded for people like Rui and others. I hope I am not mixing up timelines, but even looking back, one would wonder how we won against that second seeded Grizzlies team. Ofcourse Ja was injured and re-aggravated his wrist during the series against us, yet the pieces on Memphis were no joke.
They could have been special, but basically disbanded within a year or so.
The year before they got slapped in the first round by the #7 seed Lakers, they were talking about how they were a dynasty and the world didn’t know it yet. They got beat up by the Warriors, but Ja Morant got injured part way through the series. They actually played better without him, and people started to look and realized that Tyus Jones putting in a more consistent defensive effort and actually running their offense was actually better for the team and it showed in the win/loss column as well as all advanced metrics. After they got bullied by the Lakers, they had an injury year. They made a bunch of changes during and after. Then they barely snuck into the playoffs, got swept, and looked like total frauds, which of course, they were. Ja Morant looks amazing at times in the playoffs, but can be completely countered by packing the key. And since he has the ball damn near full time, doesn’t do much off ball, and doesn’t usually play defense…they were never capable of beating real teams. They’ll be better off after Ja is gone and they rebuild.
“We’re fine in the West”
lol, lmao even
He has dismantled so many franchises over the years, i’m fairly sure its in the double digits. Billups era Pistons, KG Celtics, DRose Bulls, PG Hibbert Pacers, 60 Win Hawks, Raptors, Pacers again and that’s the just the East.
In the West, he’s done Harden Rockets, Memphis and Rockets again.
Iffy case whether LeBron got the DRose Bulls or that was the injury. Tons of lower level East teams like Arenas Wiz too.
Definitely adding Bulls to the list, he put away every iteration of the DRose Bulls
I mean also iffy on the Harden Rockets that weren’t clearly on the outs after Curry really fucking killed them for like half a decade and the war chest was dry. If anything Lakers Bron was like a mercy killing on beast ready to be put out of its misery lol
Old age killed the KG Celtics, it’s not like they hadn’t beat him before in Cleveland
Wow. Calling your young team a bunch of bitches on TV lol
Seems like a great guy.
I think I’ve moved from thinking Ime is merely fraudulent to thinking he’s actively horrible.
IDC what you say this is not how to improve a team unless you’re one of those people who thinks yelling at your kids and putting them down is good motivation lol
Unsurprisingly, KD wasn’t there to hear it. Maybe he didn’t show because he didn’t want to be called a bitch in person.
Ime’s right, call them bitches one more time
Tell em how you really feel, Mr. Udoka. Light a fire
This has been a meltdown that would even have Doc Rivers blushing
Mazzula would sooner throw himself under a literal bus than throw any of his guys under the metaphorical bus like this
I was thinking the same thing about Spo. We got some good ones
Unless he’s talking about Ware 😭
Darko might not know how to always set a line-up, but I’m pretty sure he would fistfight someone if they talked shit about one of his players.
Darko has had a really strong showing in the playoffs thus far
Tbf Tate fucking deserves it. Last game he walked up the court during transition and let Bron get the dagger for free, and then this game he fouled Smart on a 3pter with 20seconds left. Just the first mistake deserved to get him cut from the team, doing both he should be fired into the fucking sun.
It’s Udoka’s fault for putting him in when it mattered.
The Vrabel situation has reminded me how lucky Celtics fans are that Ime also couldn’t keep it in his pants.
Mazzula is so good man
Oh he is gone
He’s gone and nothings gonna bring him back, he’s gone.
They get their IQ from their coach
Yeah exactly what I was thinking… If only there was a person in a position to help prepare the team for this moment
Bingo
I could also call cheating on Nia Long a “horrendous mistake” and being “scared of the moment”
Terrible coach.
This baldhead coach gone once they get swept.
The only positive thing about this whole embarrassment
we’d still have to get rid of stone, kd, amen, dfs and sengun
Nah man.
Stone and KD I agree.
But I’d keep the young guys. Just change your expectations.
They are not stars and probably won’t ever be, but they can contribute to our success.
We do need a proper star though. KD ain’t it (nor Sengun or Amen).
They just lost to a team without their 2 best players. Gg
Bout to replace him with another baldhead coach
New doc rivers has dropped
Ime can’t tell them to Google him, all that will show up is how he cheated on Nia and blew one of the best coaching gigs in the NBA and his replacement won a ring
Sounds like poor coaching
I dont think the coaches told Jabari to turn over the ball for legit no reason or for Reed to miss technical free throws
Developing young athletes into smarter players is part of a coaches job. Some players are just dumb, sure. But when all your players are making consecutive poor decisions it starts to seem like a coaching problem
yeah. There is not 1 high IQ palyer on the Rocket’s roster. That’s an administration failure, not a player failure
The players and coach can both be bad
Or tate to foul Marcus Smart, That foul was idiotic.
Tate has been absolute dogshit in all his minutes so far. Not sure putting him in during crunch time made any sense. He’s a low IQ player.
Missing a free throw is what it is. It happens to the greatest.
That turnover tho lol.
those stupid mistakes in the clutch definitely reflected the bad coaching. These types of drills should have been done in their sleep by this stage in the season yet the players look clueless with the ball. Just badly prepared for the whole series. Of course, the players are big dumb too I’m not letting them off the hook
I mean some coaches yell out advice. Could have told them to hold the ball like hes saying they should have done. He’s describing all of this like hes a spectator.
Awful Coaching is about to have a fucking field day with this game 🤣
I guess he doesn’t care if he loses/lost the locker room
thats because he lost the lockeroom sometime in december
Are you saying Ime is really the GetoffmyDickerson?
What a plot twist
Their top star and the coach hate the players. It’s an embarrassingly toxic locker room already.
This is a team Tom Thibodeau needs to coach.
JB Bickerstaff would do wonders with this bunch. And I don’t blame the players here.
They are young and don’t know any better, they have an insufferable ass coach, their vet is an asshole who couldn’t even be bothered to show up like the people with season ending injuries, and they have fuck all for player development
There were a shit ton of ill advised passes this game on both sides, and a lot from veteran players.
And you can not convince me it’s the players fault when the strat to double KD was first done in March a strat that Udoka himself came up with when he was coaching the Celtics vs nets and couldn’t fathom how to keep it from happening in 3 games.
He’s a fucking bum a shit coach, and I hope they yeet his bitch ass into the sun.
the strat to double KD was first done in March a strat that Udoka himself came up with when he was coaching the Celtics vs nets
I find it hard to believe that Ime was the first coach to ever double KD.
Lmao dude just quit on his team. He knows he’s done . Good riddance he’s a piece of shit doesn’t deserve to be in the league .
Oh man. Get the brooms out
yeah he is getting fired bro doesn’t care anymore 😭😭
Hopefully he gets fired before Sunday. I would actually thank the Lakers for sweeping us if that happens. I hate this dude as a coach and he gets so much CUSHION from NBA media.
“Terrible foul to give Marcus Smart 3 free throws” my brother in christ YOU SUBBED IN JAE’SEAN TATE. I love his hustle but there’s a reason Sylus was playing him 35 minutes a game when we were losing 60 games for 2 years straight. BOO THIS MAN
yeah he subbed out reed right? reed would not have fouled a 3 point shooter
To me this is a farewell speech already
He really is reinforcing that tweet that said calling his players a bitch is the only in game adjustment he has.
Thank god this dude cheated on his wife
*with a subordinate. If it was a reporter he would still probably have his job.
probably shouldnt have let dorian finna miss do practice and injure kd then
didn’t KD get injured cause he was diving for ball in practice when have KD ever dived for a ball in a game 😭😭
its a meme about dfs dont take it seriously😭
This Rockets team was so much fun and Ime and KD ruined it. Awful product being put out by this org and so fucking unlikable. This dude is so clearly a colossal piece of shit. Bring back Dillon Brooks, unironically.
Terrible morale , but look at reed before the LeBron 3. had the fear of god in his eyes loool
To be fair, Reed is 6’0 180lbs soaking wet vs Brons 6’8 250 ish and he’s been in the NBA longer than Reed Sheppard has been alive. This dude has been dominant omg the NBA for Reed’s entire life, now he’s attacking him in the playoffs.
Tell me this is out of context please…
That might be the worst paragraph of dialogue I’ve ever heard from a coach after losing.
This man deserves to lose his job after that. You’re down 3-0 and you are basically shitting on your team. This is the locker room convo, not the press conference convo.
[removed]
They expect udoka to hold their hands during turnovers
He’s right but he shouldn’t say it.
Nah some shit can be on him😭 that play after the timeout was terrible
seriously!! it was an insanely poor BBIQ
but i think that’s partly an experience issue
Who could have expected that the guy who got fired for cheating on his wife with a staffer would turn out to be an arsehole and a poor culture fit?
Full clip isnt as bad as the headline, but i still cant say i disagree 😂 i mean they thought shit would be sweet probably already about okc film and now theyre swept and ime probably out a job
Doc Rivers 2.0 this guy
From what I can tell Doc seems like a descent guy. A bad coach, sure.. but atleast he is not calling people bitches and a cheater like Ime.
What a massive bullet dodged.
The doc rivers and darvin ham school of no accountability
Yeah he’s definitely getting fired lmao, no way you’re gonna put them under the bus after your horrendous decision making
Oh man this guy stinks
did he also call himself out for being a terrible coach?
Tari eason looked sad af on the court smh. MF know he trash.
Brother you sent in Tate last minute and cost them the game.
bum ass think he so slick trying to change the narrative 😂
He was literally standing on the sideline looking like shit his pants the last few minutes. He is the one to speak?
Rockets need to extend this guy even more than he already is. Pure savant.
why is this showing up as a black screen to me?
Whose job is it to get them ready for the moment?
Without Fred and Adams the leadership in this team is abysmal.
Please fire this man 😭
He seems like a shitty coach to play for.
I mean it is what it is, those were 2 dumbest fucking plays made in the heat of the moment by players not coaches.
In this day and age where every true statement is throwing someone under the bus, he was supposed to say it was his fault for not having the team ready. 🙄
I used to love this guy but thank god he cheated on Nia Long
Love to hate this piece of shit
No accountability
Ime is the KD of coaches lmao. only good for half of the game (defense in this case as opposed to pure bucket getting) and ass cancer for the team chemistry. If Boston hadn’t been one of the highest IQ group of players in the league his career would’ve ended when he fumbled Nia long and got booted. One trick pony fake drill sergeant.
Remember when we thought he was good at this?
