If anyone doubts the Boston Celtics are up to the task of facing the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs, it is not head coach Ime Udoka. Appearing on the WEEI “Zolak and Bertrand” radio show to speak with hosts Scott Zolak and Marc Bertrand about Boston’s readiness to face Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and possibly even Ben Simmons, Udoka made it clear he is confident in his and the Celtics’ ability to win.
“I think nine years of being an assistant, and making the playoffs every year, and playing in a few championships in high-pressure situations has prepared me for this,” he explained. “I think the team is ready as well.”
Check out the video embedded above to hear the full interview with Udoka previewing the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs courtesy of the folks at NBC Sports Boston.
