Hire Sheed! Was an assistant with the Pistons a few yrs ago. And was an assistant under Penny Hardaway (along with Larry Brown) in Memphis University 2 yrs ago.

Amen. We need a ball buster or two.
Obviously Cassell is known for this, but Charles Lee is a very serious guy. He will call guys out for their bullshizz. Fingers crossed.

I implore the media to stop talking about the Celtics. Don't pump em up in any way. It's harder to underachieve when there are low expectations. Okay, maybe they're allowed to call us a play-in team next season. 2nd round exit at best.

I’m worried these guys aren’t going to start coaching until their backs are against the wall
: just wait’ll they get down 0-3 NEXT season then they’re gonna watch the **** out of some film!

When you say "some film" do you mean The Town?

Hell yeah. Pressey seems like a great pickup and solid #3 assistant.

Really seems like a good dude, a family man and proud dad, too which is cool:

-Not only played for the Celtics for a couple of seasons and his dad (Paul Pressey) briefly coached with the C's as well, but also Phil Pressey played prep school ball at Cushing Academy in Mass. So he certainly has some ties to the Celtics and the Boston area.

-Very young guy. Only 32! So he's even younger than Mazzulla. He'll probably really be able to relate to our players who are obviously all in their 20's or 30's.

-Was an assistant this past season at Missouri. Missouri was a very good, well coached team this season. One thing to note is that they had one of the best, most explosive offenses in college basketball but they were not one of the better defenses. They ranked 26th out of 363 teams in offense, and they were ranked 302nd out of 363 teams in defense. So when you start to think about it, it's easy to see why Mazzulla likes this guy. Former PG, short guy (only 5'10"), really young guy (only 32), etc.

-Since Pressey was at Mizzou last season, keep an eye on former Mizzou Tigers Kobe Brown and D'Moi Hodge. Brown is a guy we could possibly take with our 2nd round pick on Thursday and Hodge is a guy we could possibly scoop up as an UDFA..

This is a blatant move to woo Kelly Olynyk back to Boston. Those two were buds.

Lost Mighty Mouse so Brad hired Speedy Gonzales. Makes sense.

I'm with ya. Still need a former head coach. Brad's tree has been full of buds that never blossom. He's always been comfortable only hiring those with less experience and background than he has. And if they're going for another former player, I'd like a former big man who had success in the league and could help open up Rob's game. Pressey is fine if they're otherwise going for more experience, but that doesn't sound like the plan.

No worries they will eventually listen to my calls to hire D'Antoni and institute some more fast-paced offense.

Maybe he can help get the team out of the basement in steal rates. Remember when this team used to turn over other team's offenses?

IS Tex Winters still alive? How about Jerry Tarkanian? Those are the guys I want on the bench with MAzu

Bob Huggins is available.

Would bob huggins like being an assistant to his former player lol

chrisab123 · Post #377 » by **chrisab123** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 8:13 pm

Huggy Bear would be great. Just get him a driver to practice and to the games.

I’m sure this team and staff is dying to listen to a crusty old white dude.

Would love a big man coach and or big man former player though. Hell even a tweezer forward like Sam Mitchell.

Red2 · Post #379 » by **Red2** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 10:18 pm

For the love of God can we just once hire a big man post? It pains me no end that our bigs never post up and we run zero plays for them. If nothing else the Nuggets series showed the value of big men
