    KD, + Reed + Sengun only 4min?.

    There are segments of the fan base who is adamant that Reed and Sengun shouldn't share the floor together because of regular season two-man lineup data. Well as playoffs data trickle in on the alternative: series is now down 0-2 against a no Luka and Reeves team.

    The alternative is not working.

    If the knicks get booted in the first round there might be a chance they bite on it

    Wow.

    "A coaching self to sabotage, the likes that I've never seen before."

    Just the starting lineup. Okogie is starting over Reed? Okogie? I like him but, Okogie!

    Look at the Pistons.

    They fired their terrible coach who had long term contract.

    They are the best team in eastern conference now.

    Why extend a coach prematurely? Did Ime show Patrick how to get laid or get everyone on the staff some strange?

    Especially after the embarrassing loss against the Warriors.

    It says Tilman sucks.

    At this point, I'm starting to wonder if Boston knew that Ime was not going to be the answer at coach and used the cheating scandal as a opportunity to move on from him.

    Maybe that is the answer. Clutchfans needs an Oceans 11 like scheme and force Udoka into a situation for another HR violation scandal, so that the Rockets can move on from him and void the contract due to personal responsibility or conduct.

    The Pistons are mostly same team as last years Rockets, except their best player is actually a playmaking, two-way star. So they have a slightly higher floor, but not much of a ceiling.

    JVG is another Ime. Just better than him on defense.

    The Knicks got rid of Thibs and get Udoka? That'd be funny.

    Ime wakes up every morning thanking the stars that Doug Christie exists so that he can at least be the 2nd worst coach in the league.

    Ime disregards offense in lieu of defense, but cant shutdown a team without their top TWO offensive players.


    Hes the biggest fraud ever. Hes not even a good defensive coach. Plays a bunch of "good defenders" and still cant shutdown this debilitated lakers team.

    No real strategy on either side of the ball and relies on individual player brilliance bailing him out.
