Ime struggled bad when he first came here, wasn't till after the all star break things really looked good for us. Then what did we do against the Warriors? We shat the bed same way we did Miami this year. Tatum was having an MVP season with Joe, it's not Joe's fault he went cold after the all star break. People keep talking shit about Joe but the seasons were both pretty similar, I think for a first year coach the criticism is a bit ridiculous

Clearly, there were times Joe could've called a timeout but hindsight is 20/20. Joe is a damn good coach, you really think Brad would have him at the helm if he didn't think so? Brad Steven's took IT and fucking Kelly O and Jerekbo deep into the playoffs I'll trust him over you.
