Kings (10-7) at Celtics (14-4) Game #19 11/25/22

[RJ87]

Need the timeout, Joe. Clearly out of sorts on both ends.

Anyone who says a timeout wouldn’t help stop a run is ridiculous. It’s a reset. Good coaches get through to their team.

I wouldn't be saying that around here. There are a few basketball dullards on this board who will jump your case for criticizing Joe's idiotic timeout philosophy. Where were you guys the other nite when I had to argue 4 against 1 ?
Mazzula, the most inexperienced coach in the league, thinks he has found a new formula for developing his team's resilience.

I said this the other night: Mazzulla is the Cs equivalent of Steve Nash. He’s a warm body that fills the position of coach. He’s along for the ride as the players do their thing. I don’t think the players really respect him the way they did Udoka. I hope the Cs are healthy because I think their talent will carry them but I don’t expect much from Mazzulla in terms of adjustments during the playoffs. If Mazzulla just “let’s them play through it” in the playoffs, that kind of momentum shift loses you games.

You don’t think the Celtics players respect Mazz like they did Udoka. Based on what exactly? Kinda strange to be bashing the coach and his philosophy when the C’s have the best record in the NBA.

Whether it's Stevens, Ime, or Mazz, posters are going to rag on coaches no matter what. I've just learned that armchair coaches always think they know best even though they've probably never even played a game at the YMCA.

Lol. So he’s not just got bad ideas about timeouts, he’s a moron overall, who the players don’t respect. That is based on…?

[radiohead]

That’s just lazy D by Smart. It’s amazing how players still jump towards the three point shooter. The refs almost always call that foul.

[liam]

That's a big swing...

[jpotter33]

Enough playing around, turn up the heat.

Really does seem like they feel they can just "flip the switch" with their offense.  Just going through the motions right now. Don't like that mentality at all, no matter how good your O is or who you're playing.

The firm belief that we know how to run the team better, something every Celtics fan thinks 

I personally think Mazz is just taking a leaf out of another young coach who let them play, Brad Stevens. Everyone hated Brad for it too 

[jpotter33]

It just me, or does it seem like White gets picked on defensively a lot this year?

[RockinRyA]

investigate this ref

[liam]

Ref #9 sucks!

[SCeltic34]

Natalie Sago is such trash.

[jpotter33]

Oh, grow up, Natalie Sago. You're atrocious. Ridiculous T.

[radiohead]

I’m not surprised why Grant got that T. His incessant complaining is really irritating.

[PAOBoston]

Grant continues to be an embarrassment with his complaining

[ozgod]

This Natalie Sago HATES GWill. She was the one that T’d him up I’m that game he got tossed

Though the replay doesn’t look good, constant talking and arguing with the ref never ends well. He should just shut up he already has a terrible rep with the refs they probably talk about him on their Slack chat channel

[jpotter33]

There you go, JT. Like to see the fire from you.
