Joe Mazzulla Doesn’t Care About Luka Doncic 70 Point Game | Celtics vs Clippers Pregame
Just the severity of Christo’s ankle I know he’s out tonight but is that something that’s a little bit longer do you have a prognosis on that uh no I don’t but I don’t expect it to be um long at all um there some some big scoring
Nights in the NBA um do you do you think that those are just is that is that something that’s good for the league is that something that is like that you personally kind of enjoy seeing guys drop 70 and 60 and a lot I don’t really
Care either way I don’t really care if it’s good or not uh what’s good is um our teams play defense uh I think if you look around the league one of the things that separates us and there’s a few other teams is the best players play
Defense um so that’s the only thing I care about uh they take pride in it uh willing to work at it every day willing to put in a defensive system that has adjustments that has uh philosophies and you know I think that’s the the most important thing that’s what I care
About hey coach what if any impact does porzingis being out uh affect you offensively from a three-point shooting standpoint uh it doesn’t necessarily affect that um I think it affects the matchups it affects the coverages um you know I think you saw over the last five games teams have matched up differently
They’ve changed coverages uh the Miami game you saw about five different um pick and roll coverages which I thought our guys did a good job of so anytime he’s out uh the matchups change but what doesn’t change is you know uh the execution that we have to have
Versus different coverages so tonight we expect a little bit more switching uh so we just got to play faster we got to create space um and just have to go to a different play call frequency um so I think that’s the thing that that is uh really interesting about our team you
Know with these back Tob backs and some games guys being out as we’ve been able to um go to different stuff versus different lineups and different coverages and I I think we’re we’re growing in that area as a team Joe what have you kind of seen from James on tape
Just from him operating out the pick and roll for them uh I mean same thing he’s been doing for years two on two pick and roll does a good job of reading the single side tags does a good job of creating separation Joe in terms of the margins
You talked about that a lot in the Miami game you guys got to the free throw line 20 times that night o overall in terms of those margins where does the free throw attempts kind of rank for you and you know how do you kind of emphasize getting to the line more often
Um mean I think that all depends on what coverages we’re playing out of and so when teams switch us um we have the ability to attack matchups differently and put pressure on the rim uh you saw that in the Miami game uh you saw that in the Dallas game I think you know
Tatum had his season High 17 drives um and so I think it all just correlates to how we’re being guarded uh what the other team and take what the defense gives you and sometimes if the five is on the five and they’re in drop um the
Two-on ones happen on pick and pops and if they’re in switching the two-on ones happen on post isolations and and switch attack so I think it’s just a matter of taking what the defense gives you on a nightly basis and uh you know knowing with our lineup we can go to different
Stuff versus different teams and how much is that on Jason in terms of like the um kind of correlation between how often he’s driving and how often he’s getting to the free throw line maybe against different coverages I mean it’s on everybody to just take what the
Defense gives you um so I think he’s he’s uh he’s getting a lot better at that and I think our team is in general so when like Luca’s going off most of us go turn it off we want to see what happening when you find out
Someone’s like having a big game do you turn it on or you just like I’m going to watch the town and we’ll just see them film tomorrow definitely don’t turn it on um to me you know I think that’s just the emotion of uh the society today he
Like oh my God he’s scoring 70 points when you go back and look at him and you dissect you know not just that just in general if you see like a 50 to 70 point game uh you D you know you dissect how they happened uh and you know there will
Be times where I’ll go back the next day and watch him and say okay that’s controllable that’s controllable that’s not controllable um if you had a different coverage or a different matchup that might not happen uh you know that’s controllable that’s not controllable so I think that’s part of
How we base our defensive system is we do go back and watch a ton of those possessions and figure out um what’s schematic what’s matchup what’s caused by a scheme what’s caused by a matchup and what’s caused by what you can control you know and what was the last
Game that you actually put on and just watch cuz you’re like this is a great game uh I don’t watch a ton of NBA games I watch the late game segments um thank you Joe thank you

lol the Celtics maid the Mavs fold like a chair
Then the suns did it too
No body cares about the ball hog Luka is
Luka doesn't play for us, we don't care.
That's my coach! Kaizen!
Celtics players did.
Some of these reporters need to ask better questions. I got questions better than that
Me when I lie.
You know he watched every second of that 73 piece.
Who cares Luka isnt on the team so stick with Cs ☘️
Legend
Not one question about playing the clippers tonight. These reporters are useless.
Did Luka drop 70 against the celtics didn't Luka lose to celtics and got ankles broke why even ask
Jaylen Brown waiving 😅😂😅😂😅😅🤣😂😂😂😂 😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂
Great response
Nba has changed now stat padding is what some of the players care about and they don’t want to play defense glad the Celtics are continuing to improve
Joe does not give a FUCK. PERIOD. And I am here for it.
He’s gonna rest porzingis until that tail end of a B2B cause he knows Horford sits on B2Bs. So I think KP will play against the pacers and Horford will play these next 2 games. It’s smart to do that cause let KP rest that ankle there’s no dire need to have him out there rn, we have a comfortable cushion with that 1 seed being 4 games ahead and being 1 starter down hasn’t rly been a big prob for us it’s only a prob when 2-3 starters go down than it screws up the rotation
I’m a Celtics fan but I watched Luka last night special talent and it isn’t easy getting 73 points so hats off to him.
I remember when Bird wasn’t impressed with Jordan scoring 60. Then he and McHale did it the next week just to make his point that it isn’t about scoring leaders, it’s about getting the W. That used to be called playing Celtics basketball. Playing team defense and getting the W.
Luka commentary starts @3:25
You're welcome
Trash coach trash team
We don’t care about luka we have jayson Tatum
I think some of these reporters don’t have questions prepared and just say whatever is on their mind lol
Just like last years Celtics team, I hope they get bounced in the first round this time, way over rated
No attempt to challenge or question Mazzula’s lack of adjustments. What Luka does has nothing to do with this game. Celtics have been blown out twice in the last couple games. Why? What’s going on with this team?
If JT scored 70 or the overrated JB did he would care. Wasted
