A KG would be wonderful right now in that locker room. My god. He would chew these guys!

[jpotter33]

Ime at the podium now

Says they didn’t take the game seriously and relaxed when they got the lead they started to get too cute and the game came back to bite them

Said he noticed when the bench got too relaxed and thinking the game was over when it wasn’t ans he called a timeout

Said the team lacked a killer instinct when they thought they had the game won and took their foot off the gas and got too cute

Said they need to not feel like they have the game in the bag with an entire quarter left to play

Said things turned when they started to blitz Jayson and they didn’t make the Bulls pay, and turned the ball over and other players not named Jayson just missed shots

Repeated again that once the Bulls tried to take the ball away from Jayson, other players Have to step up but the other players such as JAylen missed shots

Like third game in a row Ime has talked about a lack of focus/taking the game seriously from our guys. Crazy. That is a poisoned culture problem. Guys just don't care enough about winning.

Did he really get on Brown about missing shots? That’s unbelievable…

Ime needs to look in the mirror!

So it’s everyone else’s fault instead of his? If the bench was too relaxed then give Kanter, Parker, and Neismith a chance to play! If you can’t solve JT being blitzed then that’s a big problem because all of the opposing teams will continually do that.

He said that when they started to blitz Jayson that other players needed to make them pay but JAylen and others were missing their shots at that point

Jaylen wasn't even touching the ball. At about the 4 minutes left of the third to 4 minutes left in the game I'm not sure Jaylen took a shot and almost never touched the ball. What the hell is Ime talking about?!?!?!

[Pvictor11]

Just realized that I'm Josh Richardson right now. Ugh!

Ime needs to bench guys that aren't focused. We aren't winning these games anyway. Get the discipline in order first.

You had mentioned they had too much entitlement earlier, and Forsberg just said the same thing on TV - they just feel very entitled, when they haven’t actually done anything yet.

Ime needs to look in the mirror!

So it’s everyone else’s fault instead of his? If the bench was too relaxed then give Kanter, Parker, and Neismith a chance to play! If you can’t solve JT being blitzed then that’s a big problem because all of the opposing teams will continually do that.

Kanter, Parker and Nesmith aren't going to solve the defensive issues and if anything would make them even worse.

I think the point on Tatum being blitzed is 100% on Ime.  that's why he's the coach -- figure out how to beat the other team's gameplan.  Tatum's never been much of a facilitator and he still isn't.  Jaylen isn't much of one either.  we really don't have a really good one on the team.  in any case, Tatum continuing to be blitzed successfully is on Ime for not figuring out how to deal with that.

[ozgod]

From the questions that Gary Washburn was asking Ime in the presser it looks like he’s really going to hammer them tomorrow in his Globe article it will be interesting to read it 

[ozgod]

Smartacus being asked how they gave up a 39-11 run and he seems befuddled “I don’t even know what to tell you”

[ozgod]

Smartacus saying “we got to figure it out”.

They probably won't but it will send locker room a statement that you don't deserve playing time if you feel too entitled or unfocused.

also making comments about he can only do so much without the ball and standing in the corner.  guess that offensive philosophy is getting tired in the locker room
