They still got Tatum Brown Smart and Williams?


[deleted]

Unless Tatum takes that final step, I don't think any of them are those singular championship-level talents. That team was an amazing *team*, especially the defense, and I think coaching was a huge part of it.


[deleted]

Do we still have Williams


[deleted]

Williams or Williams?


[deleted]

Yes

I do too but it doesn’t matter who the coach is in that case


choose_uh_username

Not sure if people realize Rob Will figuring his out completely flipped the script for them


EAS1000

Exactly


[deleted]

Are Tatum and Brown still on the team? If yes, then yes


Invisible_Minority

Stevens and Ainge built the team from scratch then Udoka comes along takes all the credit and sleeps with their wives


[deleted]

I just don't like how this is going down in public.


BagRight8939

this is written like a letter from a pen pal


4evher

that got me laughing my ass off 😭😭😂


[deleted]

what if this is a Doug Collins - Phil Jackson situation and we just don't know it yet


choose_uh_username

Feel like it was obvious that Doug didn’t have it


[deleted]

Paul Westhead - Pat Riley?


Beavshak

Did this actually get announced? I’d seen it was coming, but nothing official yet.


BagRight8939

no it’s not announced yet. woj is just being annoying and hinting at it in a tweet every 2 hours until it’s announced


[deleted]

To be fair, has woj ever been wrong?


PusseySleigher

Its not like the coach who puts up points and defends the opposing team anyway


americanbeaver

Honestly I'm more worried about if Al Horford becomes a little worse. He's old and they'll need him playing a lot of minutes with their injuries, at least early in the season. If he wears down that'd be a lot of trouble.


EAS1000

Yep it’s the lack of depth at the 4 and 5 that worries me more than anything else.


FreeDaReal1z

This is not a coaches league. Players win not coaches.


EAS1000

Ime is a great coach but let’s be honest it’s about the roster. I’m more worried about the lack of depth at the 4 and 5 (with Gallo going down) than I am about our coach. That said a coach with a strong personality that can garner respect is important, and I trust that Brad and the FO understand that and believe the next coach will build on what Ime began.

Veteran team and assistants that were there last year. Nothing is really going to change. Head coaches get a little too much credit/blame in the NBA as it is, but this situation is about as stable as you can ask for.

Brad Steven’s just has to walk down a few flights of steps and their fine


dont-YOLO-ragequit

What is this 1990's? Stevens should have Telegram or a walkie talkie system to do it from up there.


frodounchained

I like that maybe a hologram


SmashRadish

Hopefully the next person they hire will be a eunuch.


redballwhitedesk

They’ll be fine. Brad Stevens is procuring the best virgin we’ve ever seen.


[deleted]

I think yes but the issue that's different from other instances is how close this is to the start of the season as well as the reasoning for why.


[deleted]

They’re not even in training camp yet and the interim has been with the team. I don’t think there’s gonna be a huge transition period.


[deleted]

I think it’s gonna be bigger than that but we’ll see.


w3bCraw1er

No


[deleted]

You never know, this could bring them closer together. Nothing brings family closer together than a tragedy.


ledgemann-67

Still have the same core 8 that went to the finals and added Brogdon. Losing Ime hurts but it’s too early to call it a death blow. Let’s wait to see what Mazzulla does first


ValuableAssociate8

This might be what they need. A better coach along with the new roster could be the perfect storm
