Ime Udoka and Marcus Smart are living as Jrue Holiday fouls Smart going up for a 3 and they call it on the ground, even though it looked like Smart was in the air when Holiday hit his shooting arm. – 6:15 PM

Ime Udoka challenging the charge call on Grant Williams. Connaughton got his foot there in time to establish position, but tough call if his body was still moving when Williams left his feet. Looked like a charge in real-time. – 5:55 PM

Second straight game Ime Udoka has swapped the Williamses out early in the first when Rob wasn’t executing the game plan defending Giannis. Celtics run a middle pick and pop for Grant right away, which we haven’t seen much of this year. – 3:48 PM

Ime Udoka laundered his players’ dirty uniforms, recruited his old pals from the neighborhood to toughen them up, and even enticed them with the occasional $100 prize. On Udoka’s first coaching gig, on the AAU circuit:
