    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    I dunno, I think I would tend to trust the team's leadership over a random fan poll over who should coach the Celtics. And the media's opinion is (a) much less negative towards him than you portray; and (b) totally and absolutely worthless.

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    This is exactly correct. Nobody was expecting true championship contention this year. What the goal was to stay relevant and hope for some breaks going their way. Unfortunately, the team has had some bad breaks (Story, and now Sale) and other challenges. But they need to find out what they...

    Bruins Offseason

    Yea, Bertuzzi was hardly a problem. And nobody here knows how he is as a person.

    The Celtics Offseason

    In Houston, Jaylen would be playing for a coach he has spoken highly about and may get the chance to team up with Harden. In Brooklyn, Jaylen would teamed up with some up-and-coming players, depending upon who goes out in a trade. And he may very well find both communities to be friendlier to...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    The “many” do not include Tatum, Stevens, or Wyc. Or really anyone else directly involved with the team.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    You missed a couple of obvious posts, so yes.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Those last 2 sentences are doing a whole lot of unpaid work. Stevens and the rest of the Celtics braintrust really seem to think very highly of Mazzulla. He was named interim almost immediately, and there was a lot of talk that Mazzulla was one of the most well respected of Ime's assistants...

    The Celtics Offseason

    Horford and Smart all got badly outplayed by their Miami counterparts and are both in decline, and TL is obviously no longer his prime self. Sounds like Gorman is on point.

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    Technically he cannot sign until after the July moratorium, so could be 2nd week. But I’m sure Stevens will have already made his intentions clear to JB long before then.

    The Celtics Offseason

    I assume you mean what we commonly call the supermax. Kemba is one. Anthony Davis made it clear that he would not accept the supermax from New Orleans. IIRC, KD declined to stay with OKC for the supermax. Gobert? Brown is also fairly high up in the NBAPA, and that matters in situations such...

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    If he declines the extension, he will be gone this summer for sure.

    The summer chopping block: who do you want gone and why?

    Ditto. I really do think that Smart is not the right 3rd wheel to the Jays at this point in his respective career, and he just doesn't seem like the player they need to push the pace and consistently drain 3's. Grant will be too expensive. I would be OK with moving on from other players...

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    Scal and the beat writers go on all the time how Mazzulla is a completely different person from what he portrays in those press conferences. Assistants matter, and Coach Joe had almost no help from his.

    Exactly, the injury excuse is not going to fly. Miami had to deal with injuries this series as well. The Celtics, aside from Brogdon, were healthy in the first 3 games. They had a late lead in Game 2 that they blew. Miami dominated 2nd half of Game 1 and all of Game 3.

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    What did Ime accomplish? His team was 4 games under 0.500 over last season's halfway point and damn near blew last year's Miami series in which Ime was outcoached by Spoelstra. Then Ime was badly outcoached by Steve Kerr in the Finals. I understand why people may prefer Ime to Mazzulla, but...

    The Celtics Offseason

    Bolded is correct. But this core group of players has had a lot of the same issues under 3 different head coaches. They may be hitting their ceiling. Well, there's absolutely zero chance of Doc coming back. Anyway, I do think you understate the value of having an experienced staff of...

    Brad and Ime had a full staff of assistants; Mazzulla did not. And Ime looked overmatched the first half of last season. Brad was outcoached by Spoelstra in the bubble loss to the Heat.

    This team had the same issues under Ime and Brad. Firing the coach will not fix a lot of the issues that this team runs into when the 3's aren't falling.

    Correction - regular season is mostly meaningless.
