Miami scored 46 third quarter points and the Celts never called a timeout. The Celts went on a 7-0 run to start the 4Q and Spo called a timeout 94 seconds in.

Worst coach in playoffs
yes Spo is better than Joe
ah, I see the timeout bros are back since we lost
This pretty much sums it up.
Well done, sir.
Same shit happened under Ime but people wanna put the blame on Joe.
Bottom 5 coach in the league. Brad fucked the franchise tying us to this guy. I’ve screamed it all year, if we win a title, it’s in spite of him not because
simply unacceptable. it’s not edgy Joe.
Absolutely not a “Fuck Joe” guy, but absolutely fuck Joe for this one. I mean come on, Joseph.
This is really bad
BINGO. Spo is smart Joe isn’t. It’s clear as day
Shit like this and playing Pritchard. No excuse at all.
Spo > Joe doesn’t mean Joe sucks I don’t even like Joe that much but I feel like I’m out here defending this mf for no reason
I might go be a NBA coach cause if you get paid millions of bucks to do ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING WHEN YOURE ACTUALLY NEEDED…. I’m your guy.
Whoa whoa whoa. I know it was rough, but we’re posting Simmons tweets now?
Joe hoards timeouts the way Danny Ainge hoarded picks.
I keep trying to make sense of why he played Pritchard and I have a feeling it was for defensive purposes, which scares me. He didn’t play a meaningful minute in the first 2 rounds, so he couldn’t have been relying on him as an offensive spark.
I think Mazzulla does not make play-by-play adjustments. He executes what is planned pre-game or during halftime. He is the type of coach who just uses timeouts to let the players rest, gain composure, and remind players of the plan.
On the otherhand, Spoelstra make adjustments depending on the play. He uses timeouts to stop opponent momentum and execute after timeout plays.
The difference between a real coach and a assistant, sometimes doing the simple and obvious thing its the most difficult for some people…
Heat fan here. Sorry for intruding, but legit question. Wtf happened to Grant in your lineups? I would have loved Grant as a pickup at the trade deadline instead of Love, but lord knows that wouldn’t have happened and we didn’t have anything to make it work. He seems to have “that dawg inside of him,” so wtf? Thanks.
Also, idk if Joe is a redditor, but our average starter height is like 6’5” or so, so maybe Coach to your strength and make that work? Fuck.
Fire him even if the Celtics sweep in the Finals. Bet on your franchise, Brad. Bet that Joe Mazzulla won’t win another championship in his career
Joe giving off real Joseph vibes with this game
Because the celtics suck
Edit : thought this was r/nba idk why my page has this shitty team on it, fuck the celtics.
It’s because Joe wouldn’t know what to even say besides clapping or saying he loves them. He’s not an X’s and O’s guy. And his bench coaches apparently don’t know know either now that their ranks have been purged. He’s a motivator. “Keep it up… got to hustle more… don’t give in” etc., and that doesn’t really work against a smart coach like Spo who can make tactical adjustments on the fly. This is Wyc and Brad’s decision making coming home to roost. Perhaps another screening of The Town might help? /s
