Let's go Heat . Praying Jimmy gets a ring

Stephen A Smith is on point. People always forget players are human beings. If you kill their motivations with injustice, they will quiet quit. Just like in any job. Same thing happened to the Raptors. Front office makes unhuman moves, you lose your culture.

SAS still on this. If that team thinking about an HR matter 7 months into the season they was doomed to fail.

I like this take by Stephen A. Comeuppance is the right word for how they handled their Las coach. Such irony how their replacement coach is failing.

Quitting was the best option for them, jimmy racking up memes on them lol

Ime Udoka is who the Celtics are missing badly whether you want to admit or not

Coach Spo is really a problem to these opposing teams.😂

What exactly does stephen a think should have happened? The celtics just randomly fire their coach right before the season without saying why? If the celtics had been underperforming under Udoka they may have been able to spin something about the situation not working. But he just took them to the finals. If they had fired him without saying why everyone would have assumed something pretty ugly happened behind the scenes anyway, as there was nothing on court to suggest he should have been fired

It was a good run Boston. There are steps to success and this is just one of them. There is no failure in sports

Why no credit for the heat. Every round is what the other team didn’t do and not what the heat did do

Quit?? How about Miami just playing hungry and extremely well. Miami has what it takes to win. More strive than Denver. As a Warriors fan I will not root for Denver. Miami gots this.

Let this sink in Al Horford is older than his head coach 🤔🤔

when you come listen to jalen rose but the steven A keeps on jumping in with the plethora...

It’s sad but at the same time im so happy this is happening. This is what our org gets for firing Udoka and making JB feel disrespected. I hope we struggle the next decade or until Wyck leaves

is anyone on this panel aware that joe M is in the conference finals? with wins over a official top 10 coach if all time in doc rivers after a historicly great season in terms of offense for the team

The Celtics didn't lose. The Heat won. It's not surprising to those who pay attention

I'd like to see Monty Williams get that Celtics job tbh

I 1000% agree with Stephen a and I said the same thing before he did

Just wait and see.... I'm calling it now. Celtics in 7, greatest comeback in sports history (Sorry Red Sox ☺)

Looks like the Heat are going for the Nuggets coaching job next

Miami owning Boston in basketball hockey and football this year 😂

"Now let's see if they overreact to making Roster Moves?" Jalen Rose Also, interesting insight regarding Autonomy absence in Mazzulla.

Stephen A just countered what Magic Johnson said. Maybe the current version of the Celtics franchise isn't so great.

This so called experts keep bringing the word quit. Wrong! The Heat are just too good of a team for Boston. They didn't quit.

Jalen come on with your Wally's Wally's 🧹🧹🧹

Malika Andrews seething watching this

I'm with Stephen A 100% and I'll go one further. They never should've fired Udoka in the first place. Firing people for having romantic relationships at work is ridiculous.

I really hate SAS making this about udoka. He is the worst circus clown.

I agree with Stephen A. 💯

Jimmy Butler took their soul!

If I am not mistaken, Jalen Rose and Perks have praised for Tatum for years. Why they quit now?

Stephen A ain’t wrong to be honest

Still yet to see one entire segment highlighting the Heat. It’s always Celtics, Celtics, Celtics. We will sweep them and they will still talk about the Celtics.

how is it a fumble when they never had the ball to begin with?

I love Stephen A and Jalen Rose nem frfr

3% chance

The Celtics players doesn’t want the new coach to have the glory.

Will Doris stop praising Tatum now?

1:57 Shams so clear

Ime udoka and Stephen a smith share the same agency

Also, what did Woj report on?

But stephen a roots against brad stevens has been rooting against him from day 1😂😂😂

Steven A is way off base here. First, people in the public limelight DO have their firings publicly explained, all the time, and if he can think of a dozen men in this exact situation, he isn’t trying. Second, it is important to explain it to the world because that is part of teaching others that it is wrong. Third, what Ime did was not a victimless crime that could just be ignored. In any organization, high org chart people can't be fooling around with low org chart people, whether consensual or not. Not that hard to understand.

Without Ime JT and JB are back to their old ball hogging, non-stop dribbling, alternate iso plays, live and die by the three and mediocre defense. This is unacceptable by Celtics standard. The Lakers were swept by the Nuggets but at least you can see them fighting to the last seconds of the game.

I knew it was over soon as he threw that clipboard & walked away from the team bench, you just don’t do that. Udoka would never.

So it's coach's fault??? Come on now!!!

Attitude trowing the board Makes Tatum Brown ,

I guess Celtics will have their 4th coach in 4 years.

Of course Steven A thinks Ime shouldn’t get fired. Look how he behaves in the workplace

Celtics have the better team. Heat jus playing like the better team

They need to fire the whole front office wasting time. Tatum and Brown need a leader clearer it’s not in their personality to lead so the don’t need another nice coach. They need a tough coach who will drive them and motivate than like Mike Malone is doing with the nuggets. Joe is too nice and not very confident and experience. Also bad choice with kemba wasted 2 yrs didn’t do their due diligence on his injury. Also Smart!! He is not the point guard!! Going back to chucking air ball 3s is why they brought Udoka to stop them.

Magic need mind his bizness and worry about his purple and gold down 0-3

they really shouldnt have fired udoka

No basketball talk at all

what about marcus smart dpoy?

This team is better than last year. So there's no reason they shouldn't be in the finals again. The series against Heat is one of matchups and adjustments, if your coach can't do that, you're done. My Cs need to get their organization right, otherwise we will lose even JB and JT.

Jalen Roast >> Celtics in 7

Not a Celtics guy by any means, but how hypocritical coming from a guy who quit on his own franchise. “I wont be here next year” .. if it aint a kettle calling the pot black, idk what it is

What did woj say?

Both conference final over

The celtics going tonight

Everything that happened to Udoka is a product of his choices, but he’s black so ESPN is going to act like the Celtics fired and shamed him for no reason. Last time I checked trying to have sexual relations with your Bosses wife is a quick way to get fired and publicly shamed.

Boston has a chance to make history with a reverse sweep !

Celtics really let a gem in Ime Udoka go. Our crumble started with his unfair suspension that lasted too long leaving uncertainty, and then got weirder when he was interviewed for the Nets position, and even more unreasonable when it was announced he was fired. Tatum even said this year that Ime was his favorite coach. Ime was the only one willing to constantly call them out for their turnovers and poor defense. He had real respect also being a former nba player and Pop protege. On top of that, we demoralized Jaylen Brown’s sense of respect and support when Brad offered him up for KD halfway through the season. The team lost their identity and there is no real establishment of a culture here. Smh

Hate to say it, SAS is right

Something just occurred to me. Maybe brown and tatum didn't like being coached hard by udoka and orchestrated his ouster with the front office.

This should never got rid of ime this karma for the Celtics 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Boston going home tonight 😆👍🏾

Magic keep that same energy with your lakers on the edge of getting sweep

did magic quit the laker in 2019 as GM?

Magic CAN'T talk. LAKERS got SWEPT.

yeah this a collapse of the franchise, and they put way too much pressure on they star players, without mentally preparing them and building the confidence they need.

Championship coach is crazy doc only won that one with Boston’s big 3

People James Hardin is going back to Houston so he can play that James vs. everyone play he used to do in Houston. No James see that Ime is there and Houston had plans to build something special. I think Houston is the favorite to Lans Jalen Brown. I'm not sure how He and James will fit, but Houston is ready to spend some money, and James knows this.

I started cheering for the Celtics downfall after the Udoka business

WTH is sas talking about

Who care about magic Tatum is only 25 years very young didn't have greatest big men in nba history kareem abdul jabbar in his side Jason Tatum is beast

I think he implying that muzzla is the mole

Justice for Ime! Justice for Isiah! Karma for the Celtics!

Yall chill tf out. Cs in 7.

lets go rockets

Celtics sucks! Tatum n Brown will never win a ring
