In other breaking news: water is wet!
As others have said, don't think this post has any merit. Houston is significantly improved over last year with the 6th rated defensive rating in the league after being 29th (!) last year, despite still probably having bottom 10 level talent. Joe simply doesn't have any way to compare his ability to coach less talent given both (a) how green he is, and (b) the fact that he's never coached a team without top 5 talent.
The fact of the matter is that Ime turned a dysfunctional, first round exit team with significantly less talent into a competitive Finals team that was likely 4 minutes from a title if we didn't wilt down the stretch in game four, which was largely due to a lack of overall offensive talent or at least the inexperience/youth of our offensive talent. With a significantly more talented team and more stable foundation coming off a Finals run - admittedly notwithstanding with the Ime suspension issues - Joe led the team to nearly being swept by a 8 seed and not even making the Finals, which in large part was due to his limited offensive philosophy. Further, despite having enormous advantages over every other team in our overall record/losses, advanced stats, net rating, etc., most national NBA pundits and experts are still hesitant to choose the Celtics as the favorite or their selection to win the title, with Joe's coaching inexperience and overall extreme three point offensive philosophy the main concerns that are shared for their hesitance to deem the C's their pick.
Until Joe demonstrates otherwise in the playoffs or on a much less talented team, he's clearly an inferior coach to Ime. Such a shame that Ime couldn't keep it in his pants.
