I just got home ........ looks like Mazulla is still playing stubborn with his timeouts - to allow a 27-point lead to evaporate to single digits and the last two possessions were Tatum jacking up 28-foot shots. I am beginning to really dislike Mazzula.
A timeout doesn’t stop a run. The players do.
Yes, timeouts do stop runs.
You see it every night.
He called one late in the third, when the run started. They didn’t get better. Timeouts were obviously not the issue.
Good Lord, that is one exception you are pulling out of the entire season.
Mazzulla has consistently allowed big leads to disappear without at least trying something different.
You’re complaining that Mazzulla was terrible *in this game*. I was responding by talking about *this game*.
My reference was the entire season and I was ASKING if he did it again tonite........
which he apparently did because he allowed the run without a timeout after the timeout you mentioned.
It's Coaching 101 and this young, inexperienced guy thinks he has some new answer to managing games.
That is what bothers me.
Try it once in awhile if you want Joe, just not all the time. Keep it simple during your interim season.
Having said that, it was very good to see the Celts respond tonite after the Bulls game.
