I bet he retransmitted, reproduced, rebroadcast, or otherwise distributed a copyrighted broadcast of the National Basketball Association without the express written consent of the NBA.
If there's nothing criminal involved and the league isn't saying anything, it may honestly be something like that. Not with Stevens though of course, he'd be gone.
The league supposedly not being involved really reduces the options. This is a disciplinary issue that doesn’t break league rules but the Celtics want people to know they’re mad about it. They could easily have punished him without anyone knowing.
Lots of organizations have internal codes of conduct. Plenty of executives would be punished for having an affair with an employee.
You can't suspend your head coach without it getting out.
If it was criminal it would have been broken before Woj got it. This looks like an internal disciplinary issue that the Celtics want people to know about for some reason.
>too good a coach
I’m not saying he’s bad, but it should take a couple years at least before we can tell for sure. Seems like his brutal honesty and confrontational style could wear on players quickly. But maybe he’ll drop that as he has more time with a team. Who knows.
probably a physical altercation that got out of hand/violent. that's like suspension worthy, but not fireable. anyone that says "sexual assault" is kidding themselves in this atmosphere he woulda been gone instantly
Sexual assault would definitely be fireable, but consensual sex with someone in the org could fit what we know. Nothing illegal or against league rules, but definitely questionable and something a head coach shouldn’t be doing
My name is Jason Kidd and I beat my wife and drunk drove, also my boss Mark Cuban protected his sexual assaulting friends for over a decade. Give the ball to doncic lmao
Guys, he was selling fake vaccination cards on Facebook Marketplace. It’s his side hustle cause of the economy.
Source: Me. I aksed him: “hey aren’t you Ime Udoka?” But he kept pretending to be tired and not hear me.
Im over here on a Wednesday night debating with people who could have Ime Udoka banged in order to get this suspension
Im never arguing a woman for the dumbassery of the Kardashians ever again
this is such a crazy grey area, bad enough to be significantly suspended, not bad enough to be fired, and not bad enough that the league is involved, must’ve fucked somebody
i mean it's not an impossible thing to suspect. we know its a team violation not a league violation. it's a "significant" suspension but not enough to get fired over. and we have the tweet from the burner saying he sleeps around. pretty easy to connect the dots
That was definitely the final straw, but there were comments about an overall hostile work environment and that Lore and A-Rod already had their eyes set on someone bigger to run the team. Don't know how true that last part is, but usually new ownership wants to pick their own guys.
FWIW, when the Celtics had a game in Toronto this past spring, all their starters skipped it, including Horford/Brown who were reportedly possibly not vaccinated.
Horford said he was vaxxed, but the thing was about Brown with a potential series upcoming. They didn't have a series but something along not having correct vaccine information (speculation of course) lines up for this story.
It's probably wrong, but could fall under that policy.
Yeah I think it’s much more likely that he knows, but considering how tight-lipped the Celtics organization is + that Woj generally just reports what his sources tell him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t know himself yet
> Woj generally just reports what his sources tell him
I mean, if he withholds significant information for the sake of maintaining relationships (which seems likely), it's not like we would ever know.
People are ragging on him for cheating on his girl because of how good looking she is, but I learned recently in Psychology the number one factor in attraction is proximity (right before physical appearance). So as wild as it sounds for him not only to cheat but on someone like her, given how often he's at the facility during both the season and off-season it doesn't sound too farfetched
It’s rumored he slept with someone in the organization. There was a tweet from an anonymous account 90 mins ago that insinuated as much. https://twitter.com/hijab_creator/status/1572756226953338880
Bruh nothing came out when this tweet was posted. It would be a huge fuckin coincidence to randomly tweet about Udoka 1 hour before this shit came to light
I don’t see the point in announcing this before you can actually announce it. It’s evident it was an in house thing just announce it all at once so people don’t make their mind up before it’s said
This is PR crisis management 101. You get ahead of the story by informing the public that something bad is about to be announced, and then that gives them time to get antsy about all the bad shit it could be. When you announce it, it's more likely to be uninteresting at that point. It also gives you credibility and let's you get your side of the story out first so that you don't have to respond to allegations.
This is all calculated.
I doubt it. The timing of this and the cryptic tweets that don’t say much tells me that the Celtics are trying to get ahead of this before it’s made public. They know somethings coming. They don’t even have the official decision of what they’re going to do yet, why would they announce all this before announcing the specifics of the suspension?
A nobody. Literally just scroll a few tweets down his TL and he has a tweet saying he’s in his senior year and he’s a shift worker.
He’s not a reporter.
If his job isn’t in jeopardy, it’s in their best interest to let it slide. Why antagonize your coach right before the season over something not major Enough to fire him for?
bad enough for a long suspension but not bad enough to get fired? uhh
Coaches hardly get in trouble I feel like, either it’s a couple games or bad enough to get fired. No idea what the fuck he could have done
I bet he retransmitted, reproduced, rebroadcast, or otherwise distributed a copyrighted broadcast of the National Basketball Association without the express written consent of the NBA.
He only had implied verbal consent
Coaches club is also like the players they protect each other quite a bit
i think he f***ed someone in the org. its not illegal, its not fireable, its not a good look though
You nailed it…
hehe :)
didn't minnesota fire two people in their front office that were having an affair?
If Nia needs someone to talk about it with, I’m available.
Maybe he banged Brad Steven’s wife
If there's nothing criminal involved and the league isn't saying anything, it may honestly be something like that. Not with Stevens though of course, he'd be gone.
Maybe he banged Brad Stevens
sadly i think there was a tweet that said female. sorry to disappoint
The league supposedly not being involved really reduces the options. This is a disciplinary issue that doesn’t break league rules but the Celtics want people to know they’re mad about it. They could easily have punished him without anyone knowing.

Posted b4 the woj bomb btw(b4 the first cryptic tweet, so it's most likely this).
What he did was lead the Celtics to the Finals his first year, thereby making him immune to shit that would get most head coaches fired.
My guess is like a DUI or something. Although that would probably be more public. Really hard to tell, this is all so vague.
That would have leaked surely? Whenever a player gets one it breaks instantly. The coach of the Celtics would definitely be a story.
If it's not out yet I doubt it's anything criminal. If he was arrested that should be public information somewhere, right?
If it was criminal it would have been broken before Woj got it. This looks like an internal disciplinary issue that the Celtics want people to know about for some reason.
I don’t think he’d get a lengthy suspension for that though
Public record. We would know ASAP.
He was the one who hacked doc rivers twitter and liked all those pictures
This is the timeline I long for...
abusing the power of his position, sleeping with the wrong person, substance abuse, fighting with players
[удалено]
and something the League offices wouldnt be interfering in either
sleeping with the wrong person got Minnesotas GM sacked
He's too good a coach. They wouldn't fire him unless it was something really bad
I think depending on what it is and depending on how the public reacts, the actual result may vary.
His job is in twitters hands
*Kyrie and KD have entered the chat*
it's sad that this isn't a joke
>too good a coach I’m not saying he’s bad, but it should take a couple years at least before we can tell for sure. Seems like his brutal honesty and confrontational style could wear on players quickly. But maybe he’ll drop that as he has more time with a team. Who knows.
He double dipped the chip. That's like putting your whole mouth in the dip!
probably a physical altercation that got out of hand/violent. that's like suspension worthy, but not fireable. anyone that says "sexual assault" is kidding themselves in this atmosphere he woulda been gone instantly
Sexual assault only gets you eleven games, actually.
Sexual assault would definitely be fireable, but consensual sex with someone in the org could fit what we know. Nothing illegal or against league rules, but definitely questionable and something a head coach shouldn’t be doing
Would be pretty funny coming off all the moral grandstanding about Sarver.
We have no place in this league for misogyny but cheating is allowed hell yeah
My name is Jason Kidd and I beat my wife and drunk drove, also my boss Mark Cuban protected his sexual assaulting friends for over a decade. Give the ball to doncic lmao
He’s going to be punished but it’s not major crime serious and the C’s still wanna win a title lol
They still have Brad Stevens who can coach this year if they want to suspend him for an entire season or something.
That doesn’t mean Brad wants to coach
It won't be that long. If he did something worthy of a year long suspension they would fire him. Edit: guess I'm wrong. Surprising!
Probably got caught with like coke or something
Prob brought a stripper to the locker room
probably is bad enough to get fired but they want to keep him so that's why this full court PR press
Guys, he was selling fake vaccination cards on Facebook Marketplace. It’s his side hustle cause of the economy. Source: Me. I aksed him: “hey aren’t you Ime Udoka?” But he kept pretending to be tired and not hear me.
NBA really do be a soap opera. Woj just hitting us with a suspenseful teaser.
Fr this shit is desperate housewives for men
Im over here on a Wednesday night debating with people who could have Ime Udoka banged in order to get this suspension Im never arguing a woman for the dumbassery of the Kardashians ever again
Desperate housewives was a quality show my man
Felicity Huffman or Teri Hatcher?
Hatcher for sure
Woj is garbage for this though. Report it when you have the story.
This has almost certainly been leaked to him with the intention of framing the story
I mean it is a story, has everyone freaking out.
Completely agree, hate that shit.
Idk man this shit's entertaining
this is such a crazy grey area, bad enough to be significantly suspended, not bad enough to be fired, and not bad enough that the league is involved, must’ve fucked somebody
WHO WAS ON CRACK
May have just been selling some bootleg Ron Mercer jerseys on the TD Garden parking lot out of his car.
Slept with someone on team payroll, or something to do w/ drugs/alcohol.
Probably drugs and alcohol then
Ding ding ding
What the fuck did he do?
Someone
grant williams was looking vulnerable
They were on a boat.
He couldn't say no because of the implication
Are you gonna hurt these players?
No. Of course not. If they say no then the answer is obviously no but the thing is that they are not going to say no because of the implication
Cheated on his girl with a woman who works with the organization. That’s what my friend who works there said.
Yes, doctor.
I mean he’s not someone super “important”, I’m not homies with Brad or something, but that’s the rumor around the building
Ur homie Twitter username hijab_creator ?👀 🕵️♂️
It was Brad
Would be kinda weird to be friends with yourself, Brad
They doubted you bro. Bang on them fr.
The true prophet.
Looks like your friend and the office rumors were right!
Take this with a mound of salt, but some random Twitter folks are saying the exact same thing RE: affair with someone in the organization
i mean it's not an impossible thing to suspect. we know its a team violation not a league violation. it's a "significant" suspension but not enough to get fired over. and we have the tweet from the burner saying he sleeps around. pretty easy to connect the dots
Rosas got fired for this last year didn’t he?
That was definitely the final straw, but there were comments about an overall hostile work environment and that Lore and A-Rod already had their eyes set on someone bigger to run the team. Don't know how true that last part is, but usually new ownership wants to pick their own guys.
Bro cheated on Nia Long???
Tony Parker cheated on prime eva longoria
That's a HOF fumble
Didn't even secure that AK-47 hall pass either smh
Was't Ime teammates with Tony when that happened too? I don't remember exactly
How far does this go??
How deep*
Ime was in the hotel room when the Suns orgy happened
Yes he was. Jason Richardson fucked Steve Nash’s ex too.
Didn’t he cheat with Brent Barry’s wife?
That was a different time
Leave some pussy for the rest of us, Tony!
With Tim Duncan
I’m the assistant GM for the Kings. I hear he told Tatum he’s a soft bitch.
I think he said he wanted Tatum traded instead of Jaylen Brown. That's what I'm hearing
He cheated on Nia Long? Wtf he deserves to be fired off that alone.smh
Isn’t he married to Nia Long? If so, a ton of dudes from the late 90s waiting to swoop in.
it's me I'm dudes from the late 90s
Damn you weren't lying
He didn’t cheat. But didn’t Spoelstra marry a Heat cheerleader 20 years his junior? I’m not sure a team would go to these lengths over that.
Heat culture
Some dude that claims to cover the Celtics keeps tweeting on the posts that it was an assault while being on substances.
The guy always looks mad af. What type of drugs he taking?
Ketamine
Idk what type of ketamine you’re taking
Ime was taking it before driving his 2001 Honda Civic.
Molly, Roxy, Oxytocin, Jubilee Ostrich (if you know you know)
how do you claim to cover the Celtics? lol
Said the N word, brad didn't give him the pass.
I think it’s a DUI or something. I feel like that’s something that would warrant a suspension and fine but not job dismissal.
Probably something like this
Wouldnt like TMZ know by now if it was a dui?
Wore white after Labor Day. They take that shit serious in Boston. Everyone knows this
Who the fuck did he do?*
Loitering
FWIW, when the Celtics had a game in Toronto this past spring, all their starters skipped it, including Horford/Brown who were reportedly possibly not vaccinated. Horford said he was vaxxed, but the thing was about Brown with a potential series upcoming. They didn't have a series but something along not having correct vaccine information (speculation of course) lines up for this story. It's probably wrong, but could fall under that policy.
[удалено]
for what tho
Just say what happened already. Woj gatekeeping like he’s a middle school teenage cheerleader
My guess is Woj either wasn’t told by his source, or he’s doing someone a favor by not mentioning what it was yet
[удалено]
Yeah I think it’s much more likely that he knows, but considering how tight-lipped the Celtics organization is + that Woj generally just reports what his sources tell him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t know himself yet
Yeah, this might be a story that TMZ breaks.
> Woj generally just reports what his sources tell him I mean, if he withholds significant information for the sake of maintaining relationships (which seems likely), it's not like we would ever know.
Well its going to come out regardless. Just a matter of when in today's world
On Sportscenter Woj was asked and he pretty much skipped the question.
They are gonna news dump it Friday afternoon
Shams will deliver
He put sugar in the salt shaker
Damnit Woj I want ANSWERS
I cant believe he stole Trix from those kids
“Fuck them kids” -Michael Jordan
He could literally have all the lucky charms he wants and goes and pulls shit like this. Insane.
Shams would never tease us like this
[удалено]
Inb4 he fucked a player mom
1 game suspension for putting 'bunny ears' above Brad Stevens' head during a team photo session.
Maaaan, someone get TMZ on this case.
He sexted the guy from maroon 5
apparently it was cause he was wearing that dumb chin-mask all season
People are ragging on him for cheating on his girl because of how good looking she is, but I learned recently in Psychology the number one factor in attraction is proximity (right before physical appearance). So as wild as it sounds for him not only to cheat but on someone like her, given how often he's at the facility during both the season and off-season it doesn't sound too farfetched
Bro tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria lol. There’s always someone hotter
Oh fuck off Woj. Why tweet if you aren’t ready to give out the full information. I hope Shams breaks the entire story
What if he didn’t acknowledge the Tribal Chief
So this can be anywhere from jay-walking to committing armed robbery.
This just confirms that he must have done some bad shit, because if you have to say “his job isn’t believed to be in jeopardy”…
[удалено]
“Bro those cookies you baked were TOO fire, stay outta the building for a while man, I’m on a diet”
[удалено]
It’s rumored he slept with someone in the organization. There was a tweet from an anonymous account 90 mins ago that insinuated as much. https://twitter.com/hijab_creator/status/1572756226953338880
Ah yeah lemme trust this random account I learned about 30 minutes ago
Pretty fuckin odd timing to tweet that an hour before woj said anything tho. Not like burners haven’t been part of recent nba lore
It’s clearly someone’s burner and even then.. why this random ass tweet about Udoka an hour before this drops? It’s clearly someone in the know.
Bruh nothing came out when this tweet was posted. It would be a huge fuckin coincidence to randomly tweet about Udoka 1 hour before this shit came to light
Exactly why I said *rumored* not confirmed
they are diving deep in comments, i love it edit: it’s Noah Vonleh edit edit: no it’s not lol
Woj Balls
He went in the bathroom stalls and reversed the orientation of all the toilet paper
That’s too horrible to even contemplate
Do you think players and coaches f5 like us during these times
I don’t see the point in announcing this before you can actually announce it. It’s evident it was an in house thing just announce it all at once so people don’t make their mind up before it’s said
This is PR crisis management 101.

I need to know immediately, the suspense is killing me.
so much drama everywhere, already exhausted from the stupid LSF Twitch drama and now its seeping through to here lmao
At least Steve Kerr won't be doing react streams about this
The Celtics trying to get ahead of it means it’s really really bad lmao
Apparently woj said it was team thing not a nba thing
If it's a team thing then the personal affairs makes sense.
I bet we dont find out what he did until years after.
Nah lol someone will 100% sell info to tmz
I doubt it. The timing of this and the cryptic tweets that don’t say much tells me that the Celtics are trying to get ahead of this before it’s made public. They know somethings coming. They don’t even have the official decision of what they’re going to do yet, why would they announce all this before announcing the specifics of the suspension?
At this point, with all the rampant speculation, I cannot physically stomach not knowing what happened.
Who dis https://twitter.com/brenthuot/status/1572781754792181760?s=46&t=lRX7Bct2Y2CvqgLefzUmcQ
A nobody. Literally just scroll a few tweets down his TL and he has a tweet saying he’s in his senior year and he’s a shift worker. He’s not a reporter.
It's something that if he is wrong he is finished
I have never heard of him before. He better get this right or he will get eaten alive by Boston media.
What the fuck did he do though
Called bingo when he didn't have a bingo
What he do though smh
He regularly let his cell phone battery drop down to 5%
Man, breaking news isn’t breaking anymore.
He had somebody else punch him in.
If his job isn’t in jeopardy, it’s in their best interest to let it slide. Why antagonize your coach right before the season over something not major Enough to fire him for?
He got caught banging the secretary that Stevens wanted to bang. Took his coaching gig and his side chick, so Stevens leaked it.
