“This team, this locker room, they never got over Ime Udoka’s dismissal as head coach,” Wojnarowski told Mike Greenberg on NBA Countdown. “These players did not accept the organization’s reasoning for doing it. They thought it was a wild overreaction. There are a lot of people on the outside who thought it was an overreaction. It was an HR matter.”

“For this team and talking with management, I think they felt, they never got the answers. They got any more answers than the public was getting on this.”


Alright, but actually this team might be done, lol. If they're all still pissed while in the ECF, then a lot of these guys are done playing for this organization.

This Udoka fallout story just adds another wrinkle to the depth of choking the Sixers underwent.

I think it's like Djokovic, although Jokic is obviously more likable and doesn't really have controversial takes. But yeah it's their fans that are just ridiculous man, but the players are nice.

kind of a d*ck move for LBJ to usurp Denver's spotlight last night by speculating about himself. I guess he wants another Summer of Lebron with everyone chasing his decision.

I can't imagine anything more unsurprising. James sensing that he isn't sucking all the oxygen out of the room anymore, and looking for another summer of "intrigue" as to what his plans are. Please, just go away, but his ego won't allow it.

Jokic hating his own fans might catapult him into the top spot on my favorite player list.

I think Jokic has reached a level on offense that only Lebron & Steph have gotten to over the past 20 years. It’s to the point where there is literally no good way to defend him.

It's crazy how much the game has changed in terms of fouls. It feels like as recent as a decade ago, half the starting lineup was in foul trouble at the end of games. Now it feels like no one fouls out anymore.

Lol at the TNT reporter asking Tatum “how relieved are you that you didn’t get swept?”

Yeah, really. The Heat are one soft team, no determination or spirit. Butler is such a choker.

There was also a quote from LBJ's presser last night where he said he wasn't surprised by Jokic's dominance bc he's always known how good Jokic is. Then he proceeded to mention how everyone (media/fans) only boasts Jokic for his stats and how nobody else understands how great Jokic's cerebral game is, except for LeBron.
