What about the people who blind Lessly follow Joe even when ALMOST everyone thinks Joe should call a timeout. Or when teams score 44 points in a 3rd quarter and Joe hardly ever calls a timeout?

Good thing posters like you have an excuse of a "bad overturned call" to Blind you to the fact that Joe once again, did NOTHING!

There’s been other times when timeouts have been called and it doesn’t change ****.

Timeouts are talked about on here like they’re some magic solution to everything.

They are not.

No one is asking YOU to listen to me.. Of course you could just use your eyes and watch Joe do Nothing... yet again..


I’ll continue to watch Joe lead us to the best record in the league while being elite on both end of the floor.
If you’d being paying attention this year you’d realise Joe has improved significantly this year in crunch time & the stats are there to back it up.

I’m sure we’ll see you again in a month when we’re 42-10 & we lose a close game though ….

This is what I truly don’t get.

Never hear any praise when we win about the coach. It’s all the players apparently.

When we lose it’s all on Mazzulla. Apparently he should be babying NBA players through games.

I’ve said it for years now. This team will go as far as the players take them.

Lbh. This team would have a similar record if they put a glazed donut in a suit and told it to coach.

Until Queta learns how to finish better and rotate properly on defence he won’t see minutes.

A third string center getting a few minutes early in the season really doesn’t matter regardless.

Neither guy will play when it matters.

This team has the best record in the NBA and was resting their best player in a random January game.

The only thing that matters with this team is what happens from April onwards.

The occasional regular season loss is bound to happen.

I think Joe has ascended to a middle of the pack coach when compared to other guys around the league. Given how terrible he was last year, that's progress, but I think people struggle with how much of the improvement is him and how much of it is his assistants. Personally I don't know. I don't like what I see from him in high leverage moments. But he's now perfectly adequate for the regular season. Whether or not he costs us a series in the playoffs is yet to be determined. It's certainly possible. I'd imagine even those who love him (not sure who beyond Fierce fits into that camp) must still have some reservations about him.

It's not just any time out ,,with 20 seconds to go. You call a time out .. Design a play.. Hold for a near last second shot. So at least if you miss then OT..

The fact that anyone could even argue this blows my mind..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

So Joe’s supposed to bail them out every time they don’t give any effort on defence ?

Is Spoelstra a bad coach for not calling a timeout when this same Pacers team scored 41 points in the 3rd quarter of their game a month ago ?

Jaylen's only took four three pointers tonight. That's impressive on a night when he could have just started jacking them up with no conscience. So - well done there.

I seriously doubt any Celtics fan loves a second year coach who is 35 years old coaching a contender yet to win anything.

He has simply come in and taken over a team that was in the finals.

He hasn’t built or improved anything at this stage.

Brad got a lot of love after coaching some seriously talent deprived teams to overachieve in the playoffs.

Ime grew on everyone after turning the season around and coaching us to the finals.

There’s actually numerous coaches who don’t just instantly resort to a timeout in the final seconds and will let their guys try win it.

Mazzulla obviously likes not instantly resorting to a timeout but there have been times when he has called them.

Just because Mazzulla didn’t call a timeout doesn’t mean Jaylen should go and shoot leaving time on the clock. That’s a Jaylen decision. He’s not a rookie. He’s a veteran now and should be smarter.

Going back to stuff I’ve heard Mazzulla say from last season is that he likes not using timeouts sometimes. He felt last season though he didn’t necessarily have them prepared for those no time out situations as well as he should have.

I’m guessing in some of these games he perhaps hasn’t called them as he’s trying to get players reps in these situations before the playoffs start.

Something like that could win us a close playoff game if the defence doesn’t have time to set and we get a good shot.

In the case of Indy tonight, they randomly threw three guys at Brown. That was dumb dumb defence off the chaos of no timeout. Brown should have passed the ball.

Kornet ain’t it.

Provides shockingly little rim protection despite his size and his only offensive contribution is an occasional lob. Dude is the next the Paul Shirley, though Kornet is more the wannabe comedian opposed to the wannabe writer.

He might be great in the locker room but on the court he’s nothing special. I feel the same way about Svi. The fact that they showed his shooting 6-32 3pt shooting on the graphic was pretty cruel lol.

It's just being arrogant thinking the Cs rest JT and the Pacers will just fold.

I'm still in the belief that teams should start load management in April when the playoffs is near.

Load management in January for a 25-year old?

The past Celtic greats would always play if they're not hurt.

This modern NBA is soft.



Is there a team that is? I'd probably take the Celtics minus JT vs any other team without their best player. And that's not taking anything away from how good JT is, just how good the Celtics are 2-6

Pacers going 35-3 in his games is insane given that they have at best been a mediocre team, and that's being generous. Are you sure its correct?

Oh yeah the good old It’s only ‘insert month of loss here’ excuse..not sure why we even watch at this point. We should all just tune in 3 months from now. If we lose a playoff game on some stupid **** I wonder what you will say.. ‘it’s only the ECF we are not even in the finals yet’ lollolol

For 98% of us we only care about winning 18 or not... well at least I hope so..

You do realize that if we are to win #18, Joe has to be a part of it.

If you don't believe in Joe then why are you hoping to get #18?

Numerous times in the past talented teams end up never winning or getting to the finals because the coach is incompetent.

You can't have it both ways.

It's either you tell us that you believe the Celtics are not winning a championship with Joe Mazzulla as coach or the Celts can win a championship even if you don't like Joe Mazzulla.

Just doesn't make sense to keep saying Joe is so bad and yet you're expecting a team coached by Joe Mazzulla to win a championship.
