I don’t think mazzula is a good coach but these same problems have effected this team since the bubble season.
It’s mostly on the players.
The Ime worship is a bit much for me..he had us 1 game better this time last season and jimmy butler simply missed a 3 pointer that would’ve put them in the finals over us up by 1 with 16 seconds to go…either way we turned it over at will in the finals and choked like dogs. Good job ime.
I didn't necessarily love Ime, but he took a team that essentially stopped caring about basketball and who started out the year 18-21 and took them to the Finals.
As for it being on the players, sure, to an extent. But we didn't have Brogdon last year and we had all kinds of small injuries bouncing around. The bubble season was even worse with injuries (Hayward, hobbled Kemba) and we were playing Kanter/Theis/Wanamaker major rotation minutes.
This was the year and that's why it's been so frustrating to Cs fans - throughout the season - to watch this team underperform, especially in close games.
