Seriously bro this shit PISSES me off. I could rant on Joe or our performance this series all day but I’m so fed up with this lamenting over Udoka bullshit.

How many times the last few years have different sports franchises been rocked with accusations of sexual harassment and hostile work environments?

Celtics actually do the right thing investigating and taking it seriously. Imagine what this would have done to Wyc and Brads reputation if they swept it under the rug and then got exposed? It’s not a fucking option. This is what decent people and well run business do - take that shit seriously in 2023. The woman reported she was being HARASSED by Ime past their consensual relationship. The org knew about their affair initially and took no action until things escalated. They did a private investigation and kept things in house because they’re an actual professional organization.

And how does the media and some fans react? They lambast the team for appropriately handling sexual misconduct? Those same media members feigning the team “overreacted” would be calling for Brad to resign if they covered this up. And for what fucking reason? Do people have goldfish ass memories? Media and fans were roasting Ime for large parts of the season last year. We sucked for a lot of the regular season. Bucks with no Middleton and the Heat took us both to 7. Sure we look worse in this series but it isn’t this huge gap. Ime was playing drop coverage against fucking Steph curry. We could have won last season the warriors weren’t some unbeatable team. Ime is an abuser and might not even be a great coach. Fuck the media and anyone who is criticizing this.

Edit: Since a lot of people seem to not be aware - Ime was NOT fired for a “consensual relationship with an employee of the team”. The team knew about their affair and took no action initially. The woman reported that she was being harassed when the relationship ended which prompted an external investigation and led to the suspension. She was also the wife of a team exec which makes it even worse. Also - the Celtics refusing to leak details of the investigation and protect the woman’s reputation and themselves legally is what a normal professional organization does and they shouldn’t be criticized for that.
