Here are some snippets from a story about Ime Udoka's time with the Celtics. There is some relevant stuff in here for this juncture of the season. Of course, we're not a team that's expected to win the title but there could be some parallels to draw between his time there and his time here. Our core players are in a much earlier phase of their career. He took over a professional veteran team. Here he's taking over a young inexperienced team for the first time. Interpret the article as you will. Here are some snippets: I feel like a lot of people are freaking out as though we're owed a playoff spot. This rebuild is going well. We're a .500 team in our first serious attempt to win games. That's above average and I think every single young player on the roster has been better recently than they were at the start of the season. Things are trending upwards and our schedule has been particularly difficult. We're certainly not as bad as our last 6 games. A Celtics team that was built for the Finals struggled for half a season under Udoka. They went through almost the same progressions and regressions as us early in the season albeit at a more competitive scale. Udoka has that experience behind him to guide him. It's all part of the growth.
Right on. Ime's the right guy at the right time. Culture builder and winner. With him on board, I trust the decisions coming down the pike.
This is not the "Ime Udoka Celtics Story" that anybody actually wants to read - there's a different story that's in the public consciousness - another headline fail for @Mathloom
How players-only meetings keyed Celtics turnaround ESPN’s Zach Lowe soon quipped that Boston must lead the league in players-only meetings, and he wouldn’t be far off. https://www.celticsblog.com/2022/4/...on-nba-jayson-tatum-jaylen-brown-marcus-smart
Kind of this. They have one of the better starting lineups of all time in my opinion I am pretty sure I could coach them to 54 wins.
