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

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.

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…?

I never said he’s a moron. Just saying he’s nothing special. Cs had to hire someone after the Udoka saga so he probably made the most sense considering the preseason was starting.

Ref #9 sucks!

4 fouls on JT and JB.

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.

Ime was not coaching well during the first half of last season, so I could understand people complaining about it. This I don’t get. Apparently having the best record in the league isn’t good enough. lol.

PP and Kornet making an immediate difference!!!

[jpotter33]

Finally looked like they've flipped the energy switch once they were actually getting threatened. Hate that habit.

Good enough for me!

Joe Mazz decided to call timeout to stop our own run

The beginning of this season could've easily been a disaster with the Ime drama and the Jaylen/Donda Sports/Kyrie nonsense. But the guys are locked in, focused, and playing at a high level. Mazz should absolutely get some credit for that.

His team having the best record doesn’t make him a good coach. Personally I haven’t seen anything from Mazzulla that says “Wow, great adjustment etc”. I think him not calling timeouts doesn’t really do anything for the team.

I love PP.   

[jpotter33]

PP! All about that energy that PP and Kornet brought in.

What a play by JT to Kornet to follow it up!

[ozgod]

This team has really improved on cutting to the basket and then relocating to the 3 point line. Last year their 3s were mainly static ones but this year they’re moving and relocating a lot more so they are a lot more open

PP and Kornet!!!!!
