Celtics coach Ime Udoka talks on what Boston needs to change, expectations for 2021-22

In a recent interview, the Celtics coach offered his view on how Boston can be a better team next season.

New Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka recently made an appearance on ESPN’s “Jalen and Jacoby Show,” talking about the coming season with the Celtics to eponymous hosts Jalen Rose and David Jacoby.

The trio discussed everything from expectations and goals to the nuts and bolts of how to achieve them, along with the pressure of stepping into a very talented team with an unparalleled history of excellence and the expectations that come with that. Udoka has made some things clear already — such as his predilection towards ball movement and team defense — in previous interviews but expanded on that with the ESPN hosts in his recent talk.

“The roster is the first thing you look at,” he began when asked what he was most excited about with his new position.
