Udoka might believe this himself:

"Ime Udoka: "Overall, as a coaching staff, we should be embarrassed. As the players on the floor, (they) should be embarrassed."

Udoka said Rockets were lacking toughness and attention to detail from the start."

Boston is now 4-1 without Brown.  I did not expect that at all this year.  Figured there was no way that trend would continue without Tatum to pick up the slack, but here we are with Boston somehow still being better when Brown is on the bench.  White and Queta seem to be driving the wins the most from the starting unit.  Hugo highly effective as well from the bench.

Could be a brutal game for the cs.  Houston is a tough play regardless and if JB is out we may lose by 30.

Lol.  My comment didnt age well.  Great defense a stellar 2nd half

I admittedly was thinking the same thing after that game in November.  There were a lot of guys really stepping up tonight.

Very easily could have been a ?free pass? loss.

you must be tingly all over in glee being able to trot out your usual knocks on JB.  The fact he won player of the month in the Eastern conference must have been grating.

I notice he disappeared for a year after Tatum (not a championship player) and Brown (better without him) won the title and JB won ECF an Finals MVP.

Well, when you have the stupidest hot take in the history of the blog...

Only caught the 2nd half last night but what a game.  Really good to see how Queta is coming along.  That was a monster game on the boards. 

This certainly looked like a "scheduled loss" on paper so very impressive.

it does strike me as odd that he vehemently disagrees with JB winning both the ECF and Finals MVP because the voters/'experts' don't know anything and yet he's in another ongoing 'feud' in another thread over where Flagg would be drafted and his skillset if he came out this year by relying on what these same 'experts' say.
