Not really. JB is getting cooked. And rightfully so

The fans are cooking JB, but the media is focusing on Joe and not the stupidity of JB.

I am a very dedicated and hard working individual at anything that I put my mind into. I like to think that I have very strong leadership qualities and try to make everyone else around me better in whatever is being done. My short-term objectives are to be a great basketball trainer and help athletes realize their potential and work hard to maximize it. My long-term objective is to be a head coach and put my competitive nature and passion into helping athletes reach their full potential on and off the floor. Specialties: I specialize in training athletes of all levels to maximize their potential and allow them to see how good they can be at the game of basketball.

Joe’s actual LinkedIn bio, old but I got a chuckle out of it. I’m glad he likes to think of himself as a leader. Just pulling a page from his book and digging up the archives of 2016.

Did he not show good leadership the other day by putting in a bunch of extra work with our bench unit (reviewing film as well as going over stuff on the court during practice) then we went from a horrible performance for the bench vs Washington to a record breaking 4th quarter for the bench the very next game vs Indiana?

Not really sure what's funny about his LinkedIn bio, but you do you.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Thanks, Chris. Makes me happy to remember Tatum saying Udoka was his favorite coach. Real happy. Probably because he doesn’t spend his time reading articles from 2016 so he has a point to argue about.

No he just spends us time banging subordinates and then harassing them so he gets fired.

Udoka is the past. Let's leave the past in the past.

The Celtics have moved on. Udoka has moved on. Fans need to do the same.



I don't think I'll be able to move on until we win a chip, especially when the replacement has not been convincing at all. Many may have moved on but I think for the ones who still have the "what if" in their minds, I think its a perfectly reasonable feeling


Idk what Udoka did but unless it one day comes out for sure, we'll all be wondering if this firing was necessary. Too bad though, he was a damn good coach and a great leader.

2022 ECF, the Heat shot 30% from the three and we shot 35%. In 2023 ECF, the Heat shot 43.4% from the three and we shot 30%. If the Heat make one more three in game 7 Udoka's track record in his 1st season is the same as Joe's.

In the 4th quarter of 2022 ECF Game 7, led by the Great Udoka, who had us play the right way, we turned the ball over 5 times, shot 31.2% from the field, and got outscored 21-18. Execution was the name of the game for Ime Udoka.

Yes, Hal. Watching film and having a nice 4th quarter in a a game with a 40-50 point lead is very impressive. Thank you.

Why is anyone cooking anyone in November? They are 5-2. We are becoming the dumbest fan base in the nba.

Literally, 75 regular season games left. Then 20 more in the playoffs. You can’t tell anything about a team until like 15-20 games in. We aren’t even halfway to that early point.

It's not about the team because the team will be fine.

In fact, I have the Cs winning 65 games or more.

This is about JB still making rookie mistakes even if he's now an 8th year vet.

JB is making the same mistakes over and over again.

It's not the fan base who's dumb, it's the player.

We'd be undefeated if Derrick White would stop having kids.

What are you even talking about? Every single fanbase reacts after a win or loss accordingly. Are you saying people should ignore everything they see and not care much about losses because it's early in the season? Did you keep that same energy when the Celtics started out 5-0 looking great? Did you tell everyone that was hyping us up to calm it down because it's early in the season and you can't tell anything about a team this early? Or does that only work one way?

Also, the early in the season excuse doesn't count for JB. We have been watching this guy play for a really long time now. More than a big enough sample size to know the kind of player he is and will continue to be. He deserves all the criticism he gets.

That isn't happening lol

It's doable, but I'd be happy with 80% Wins.


What have we, as basketball fans, learned since 2021? The RS is only good for playoff qualification and that playoff seeding is meaningless. In 2021, the Bucks became the first 3-seed to win the Finals since the Rockets in 1995. In '22, GSW won it all as a 3-seed. Last year, Miami won the East as an play-in 8-seed. Bird and Magic ushered in the superteam era when they entered the NBA in 1979. The superteams were so good, they couldn't help but be no less than a 1 or 2 seed. Now, the superteams are gone.

On-topic note: Cam Thomas sprained his ankle against the Clippers and might not play tonight.

Forgot that last year's team went on a 17-2 W-L run after starting 4-3 with Kornet as our backup center. I guess this is the start of a 15-1 run heading into our West road trip in December.

Cs face NY and Philly next week.

If Cs win both games, it could be the start of a 25-5 record.
