Podcasts about Ime Udoka

It didn't look great, but the Celtics came away with an 88-87 win over the Sixers in a game Joel Embiid was clearly not himself. The Celtics sort of took advantage behind early offense and late defense from Al Horford in a revenge game after a tough year in Philadelphia for him. Ime Udoka and Josh Richardson also savored this win. John Karalis runs through all of that, why the late game execution with Jayson Tatum and Dennis Schröder needs a lot of work, and the apparent reinjury of Jaylen Brown's hamstring.

We talked about the most exciting teams last time so this time Aswi and Erik just HAD to follow it up with the teams they find most disappointing this season. The boys cover everything from the Sacramento Kings' recent firing of head coach Luke Walton to the turbulent reign of Westbrook in LA. Then, Aswi takes the kiddie gloves off and gives a fiery hot take about the Boston Celtics. 1:29 - Sacramento Kings. Will the firing of Luke Walton and elevation of Alvin Gentry to interim head coach make a difference? Who is the better player between De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton? Can they coexist? Who should the Kings keep between the two of them? Could Marvin Bagley succeed on another team or is he just too flawed of a player? 13:29 - Los Angeles Lakers. The boys chat about the current state of the Lakers and try finding a silver lining. Has the Westbrook experiment already failed? Will the eventual returns of Trevor Ariza and Kendrick Nunn help solve the Lakers' problems? Has the improvement of Talen Horton-Tucker made him the Lakers' only real trade asset? 27:56 - Boston Celtics. What is going on with Jayson Tatum? How has Ime Udoka's coaching tenure been so far? What is the ceiling of this Boston team if they do turn it around? Finally, Aswi gives his hot take on the current state of the Celtics. https://brownmenwontjump.com Edited by: Aswi

The Boston Celtics really struggled through most of this game, especially with turnovers and rebounding. But they never deviated from Ime Udoka's game plan, and their willingness to follow the script for most of the 48 minutes despite things not working well for most of that time makes this the most impressive win of the season. John Karalis explains that further before getting into some of the key individuals like Josh Richardson and Enes Kanter, and two guys people shouldn't have written off in Romeo Langford and Grant Williams.
