Joe Mazzulla says he showed the interrogation room scene from #TheDarkKnight to Jayson Tatum to work on 'handling expectations and pressure'
"Batman goes ‘Why do you want to kill me?’ … the Joker starts laughing at him like ‘I don’t want to kill you, I need you … You complete me’… It was the coolest moment of good and evil having to coexist. Differences have to coexist in order to bring the best out of each other"

He’s so weird. Hope hes in Boston for decades
as someone who routinely quotes heath ledger’s joker IRL, I genuinely appreciate Maz coaching a billion dollar franchise by the Joker’s idealogy.
Some shit a JV 8th grade basketball coach would do not gonna lie
Quite frankly have we seen a guy like Mazz before?
It’s like a Facebook meme come to life a bit
The [Pete Holmes version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTx-FzfNhCw) was better imo
Joe is corny
Tatum is corny
Luke is Korny
The rest of the squad are dawgs though
You can just call us the Boston Corndogs
Chaotic good Phil Jackson
Imagine he is coach the Pistons.
They losing 30 straight, while he’s talking about killer whales, Batman and Joker.
So he’s like the average film bro who’ll find any excuse to shove Christopher Nolan down your throat?
If you watch the whole interview you see that Joe is a goofy nerdy guy whose “psycho” persona is more of a media act than it is his real personality. At times during his first year I was questioning his sanity and intelligence but it’s largely a bit imo.
This lunatic is a championship winning coach lmao
Bro obviously just wanted to watch some Batman
Holy shit this man actually is a psychopath.
Psycho Joe
Different coaching styles.
One of the old guard might have told Jayson
‘You gotta work on your decision making under pressure’
Mazzulla said
‘Do you wanna know how I got these scars?’
This dude loves movies
Bro not like this
I keep accidentally reading this as saying that Nikola Jokic said that
Joe mazzulla seems solid. But it will be funny if they ever start losing and he’s doing all this weird stuff. Hes gonna get cooked
You know that guy who hangs out at your gym all the time and watches way too much YouTube? So he’s an nba champion coach now
People say he’s the NBA Pep.
Man this dude is the Bielsa of the NBA. Proper crazy and obsessive he’s great lol
Live look at Tatums reaction after being shown the video https://streamable.com/qr2o3k
He has a Joker tattoo and/or poster in his home.
Jason Kidd is going to read this and show Luka the Heat shootout scene
Glad he chose that interrogation scene and not the one from Prisoners.
“You’re a sophisticated guy…the world is a messs”
We all knew this was coming.
Slow news day
They just had movie night 🤣
This man is unhinged
Do you think Joe Mazzulla has ever waterboarded anyone?
Lol that had to be awkward as hell for someone as introverted as Tatum
I despise the cs
But love joe and happy al got a ring lol
Least psychotic behavior yet
“Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”— Peyton Pritchard
Joe mazzula was like 9 when the Dark Knight came out
lmao- I love our psychopath coach
I’m confused.
Is Tatum supposed to be Batman and the media as a whole as the Joker? In other words, the media needs Tatum to have a talking point and be ‘complete’?
Or am I just overthinking this and the man is just a weird fuck? Lol
I actually like Joe Mazulla 30% as much as I despise the Celtics. That’s a lot.
