If Ime wants to learn the art of ATO, it’s just next door.

1)  The out of the huddle plays were terrible, the last play especially bad.   Maybe I am spoiled by CBS being so good at it. 
2) Tatum tried to show Beal he belonged or was a man or something and this hurt us.  His hero ball came up short time and time again
3) Washington has good role players and depth is still a problem for us big time.  They are actually a better team with these guys than with Westbrook.
4) Richardson had a nice game
5) Our shooting was terrible

It is early and the season is young, Udoka is a work in progress just like the team.  At least we came out a little better in terms of effort.

As good as Tatum and Brown are, they need to clean up their playmaking and handle late in games. They have been too prone to turning the ball over late, especially Jayson. Those possessions are crucial and a shot has to go up.

Also, Jaylen and Udoka have to be more aggressive in getting touches. These games where Jaylen is scoring well at high efficiency and Jayson still gets more shots up is unacceptable. Jayson is always going to be willing to take the shot, it’s on Udoka, the coaching staff, and Jaylen himself to get him the ball.

The refs didn’t officiate well, but losing a 6 point lead with 2 minutes left and a few possessions to increase it avoids putting us in that situation. Late game situation has to improve (Schroder holding the ball for 8 seconds waiting for Brown… really?).

Udoka is a piece of work but I haven't seen any progress.

Was at the game. We played hard all game, ran out of steam in the end. Horford was amazing. J Rich too. Loss disappointing but I loved the effort. Wish Ime had inserted Payton the last couple of sequences.

Kanter started 35 games last year averaging 24 mpg for Portland and averaged 11 and 11.  Why did he only play 5 minutes with RWill out tonight forcing Horford to play 41 minutes?  If Ime doesn’t like him, then give minutes Hernangomez or Bruno. 

I’m not impressed with Ime at all at this point.  He tells the players not to complain and then doesn’t stick up for them.  He’s playing the starters too many minutes while letting others rot on the bench.  His play designs out of timeouts have been awful.  And I’m not a fan of him calling Brown out publicly even if Brown says he doesn’t mind.  I wish we could send him to the G league to get some practice at being a head coach.

He's playing desperate 6 games in with nothing to show for it. Romeo had fresh legs so did Pritchard,  who hit too big shots and was never seen again. Ime isn't good.

Did any reporter ask Ime if he was drunk? Only an idiot would do something like that 6 games into the season. When Horford breaks down, then what?

This guy looks like he's already coaching to save his job vs building a team.

Brad shouldn’t have been called upon to hire his successor.
