Joe Mazzulla seems to have a quizlet account which has notes on NBA teams and their players, including information on how they prefer to attack and any weaknesses. He did this up until April 2021. He was hired as an assistant coach by the Celtics in 2019, so he did this while on staff.
Really interesting account. [Here’s the account.](https://quizlet.com/Joseph_Mazzulla)

Oh damn LOL he better private that account quick
Nah this is crazy lmfaooo
Damn all those years memorizing quizlets for tests and quizzes have prepared me to become the best defender in the NBA
“TERRIBLE 3 POINT SHOOTER” for russ lmao
Dillon brooks “shoot at anytime, not looking to pass” he did his homework
Doc Rivers downloading and saving this as we speak.
This is so cool to go through every team and read. What an awesome find.
I think his capslock key was stuck
Jordan Poole: “Resilient, knows how to take a punch”
Nice find. This is fascinating and shows what a great mind Mazzulla has for basketball.
I looked at one of the Raptors flashcards and for Chris Boucher, it said to veer his pick and rolls. I wasn’t familiar with the term so I looked it up. First video I watch, the very first example involves the Bucks doing exactly that to Boucher in the bubble.
Damn dedicated to his craft. Have you found ant other coaches who does this OP?
Doesn’t respect Eubanks and Poeltl enough to give them separate cards
I wonder what his flash cards for this year’s Lakers would look like 🙁
>braggpeak – straight nephew don’t guard
woww, he’s good
wait this is awesome lol
Flashcards are useful. I’ve a pretty terrible memory. Quizlet was a big help for things like school but also for memorizing random spot as well. Used to make quizlet flashcards for map call out in csgo and r6s.
The Brad Wanamaker scouting report is out, we’re ruined.
We’re so bad he’s not even bothered with scouting us
> Michael Porter Jr.
> **selfish player always looking to score for himself**. hunts transition 3’s. coming off screens looking to shoot. he is a great cutter on pnrs and Jokic post ups. be alert to all times. be ready for his duck in as well from the weak side.
Damn

No quizlet sets for the Trail Blazers apparently lol. So no Dame.
Other very interesting tidbits too. There’s a lot of stuff about team-specific actions and team stats. Really goes to show he does his homework.
Edit: Account deleted lol.

Damn it’s already deleted lol. Anyone see any of the pistons sets?
Deleted just now as I was reading about Orlando
He deleted it 20 minutes after this thread was posted
He deleted it 🙁

This is hilarious. As a teacher who uses quizlet… I can’t believe my jobs tech tools overlap with an NBA coach.
