  1. “Nut up and do a lot of the shit you don’t want to do” is the Joe Mazulla version of Belichek’s “Do your job”

    Like call your players a bunch of fucking assholes and play like a team and remember what got you the #1 seed

    Psycho Joe treating the playoff run like a season of 60 day lock up. Good shit.

    “hey Coach, what play should we run?”

    “You know! The one with the basketball! Run around and shit! Do the thing to then put the ball in the basket!”

    Little confused by the statement……. What is the “shit that you don’t want to do”? Play basketball? Run an offense? Play defense?

    I have never felt worse about the Celtics chances this year than I do after tonight. I’m a season ticket holder. I cannot believe what I just saw from a coaching perspective. Really watch that game, and look at the absolute travesty that is this “offense”. This is, without hyperbole or exaggeration, the offense that 5th grade AAU teams run. 5 out, 1 pass, maybe a ball screen. Then that guy goes 1 on 1, and 4 guys literally stand there and watch!!!!! Hope he makes it!! Because there’s 4 of us standing outside the 3 point line as Jaylen backs down Strus, slams into him, shoots a contested fadeaway from the foul line, then bitches about the call. I couldn’t believe it, and it was such a glaring reminder how in over his head Joe is. He’s like the poster boy for the imposter syndrome. The most important thing this team can do is let him walk, keep Cassell, and get this team a freaking offense. But we won’t, and it’s going to hurt us. It did last year, and it’s coming for us, in this round or next. And it pisses me off. I fucking want this so bad. And GOD…we’re so close. We cannot just stand there, set a single ball screen, and hope for the best. Watch highlights. Watch everyone other than the ball handler or screener. It’s wild

    Imagine telling a depleted Cavs team that you can bait the Celtics into letting Al Horford shoot 3’s on 5-7 possessions in a row, in big moments, and they’ll keep doing it. Not Tatum. Not Brown. Not White. Not Holliday. Not Hauser. Not Pritchard. Al. 0-11 Al, who FINALLY hit one. And the Cavs kept letting it happen, because that’s exactly what you would want, all things considered. This was not a “master class” and “that’s our coach”, this was a very frustrating reminder that we’re going to come up short unless they figure something out in the next 3 weeks, and of course they aren’t about to change anything now.

    Like Barkley said, the Celtics are more talented than 80% of the league, so this shit will work against them, but it’s not going to win you a championship.

    Everything Joe says are cliches like what you might Google if someone walked up to you and told you that you were about to be interviewed by a tv host tonight, so learn some generic basketball terminology and do your best. Oh also? Do you know any plays? Because you’re also coaching tonight

    We’ll probably still win the East, but damn…this shit, at least without Porzingis, is sadly not going to get through Minnesota or Denver. Our only hope would be if OKC or Dallas magically beat Minnesota or Denver, and I don’t see either Dallas or OKC being able to beat either team in a 7 game series
