TBH… I’ve been an Ime defender this season but this is the type of game that gets a m-fer fired.

Tillman Fertitta will always be the Owner that traded Chris Paul, Fired Mike D'Antoni, James Harden quitting on Tillman Fertitta, not extending Trevor Ariza and thought Iman Shumpert can replace Trevor Ariza. Nothing but a disaster.

Ime Udoka wants to play slow and clog the lane, brick threes.

Complete Jeff Van Gundy low IQ type of Coach Ime Udoka is.

What a Fall from Mike D'Antoni and Rick Adelman.

The JVG era was painful. He loved to just get the ball to the star and have everyone else get out of the way. No offensive imagination.

I mean it’s not an Ime only problem…. Our not KD talent sucks…. But still.. I mean this is the most unprepared playoff game I think I’ve ever seen.

I don't think Durant playing tonight would have changed the outcome

JVG would wipe the floor with Udoka.
