This has been a ticking time bomb since they ost the coach they wanted to lead them Udoka.
I don’t think any of the players disliked Joe . But they thought they had a solid core of great coaches who had their backs …who just evaporated seemingly over night and left them with a guy that they may not have trusted to be THE head coach for years to come.
The players should have MORE say about Udoka , instead they were blindsided , and their concerns or feelings were not considered. I think Brown , Smart , White and Brogdon were NOT the happy campers with Boston’s front office decision.
They knew Joe was not a full time head coach material . But didn’t speak up when they should have .
Yeah, it's so hard to know what to think about the Ime situation, because so little reliable information came out about it. On one hand, that's good to handle your affairs (no pun intended 
) privately, but on the other hand when you're having to dismiss a popular coach like this, can't give a real solid reason why, and it leads to this kind of downfall, that's a problem.
Hard situation. The fact that Ime was hired so quickly after being dismissed here suggests that it was an affair with someone within or associated with the organization, which made a return untenable. Just unfortunate that Ime couldn't keep it in his pants.
We've been through this in other threads but just to get everyone else back up to speed, the bolded is far and away the positive spin on the best guess, and the silence was always going to be expected on both sides. That's just how public-facing corporations deal with these kinds of situations when you have longer-term contracts at play.
Keeping in mind that we made it to the Finals on the back of one missed three pointer last season, I'd say the difference between Udoka and Mazza (assuming they each get one season as Boston HC, which looks possible) could come down to winning in 7 in the ECF or getting swept in the ECF. That's not the end of the world, but it's certainly a step back - even if some of this is also on Horford's decline and our shallowness at the big position.
edit: a word.
