This guy is a psychopath. I don't give a shit what anyone tells me. There is nothing behind those eyes.

[–] Crafty-Fish9264@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Joe is legit insane and I'm here for it

[–] deconstructicon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Agree... he was basically saying "you haven't had a new thought in 7 years, you're a lazy hack". "Find a new slant" delivered with precision and receipts. He demolished the dude.

what’s wrong with having a consistent opinion?

Dude’s looking up comments from 7 years ago just to get back at someone lmao.

[–] LuckysBestMan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love this pettiness. Never forget joe this is that nrg

[–] porncollecter69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wait he’s that kind of guy? I like him more now.

[–] Technician-Temporary@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hate the Celtics but love their coach. fml

[–] ToronoRapture@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The game has changed. That was 7/8 years ago. I get Joe's point but also referencing an article that was written when Kobe was still playing seems a bit irrelevant imo.

[–] Glass_Mango_229@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's the opposite. The league as a whole is MORE reliant on threes now so it shows this guy was way out of touch with where things were going.

[–] HikmetLeGuin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not to mention their team composition has changed. You could shoot the same number of threes and it could be too many or not enough depending on who you have on your roster and the style of play you're equipped for.

[–] doodlols@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That same reporter still asks him about shooting 3s every time they lose. I would get pissy too if the same guy asked me the same question every day

[–] pointguard22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Obnoxious. Answer the question. An article from 7 years ago is completely irrelevant.

I don't remember this part of The Town

You guys, I really do not fuck with the Celtics in the least bit lol but I am absolutely here for coaches who fire back like this lol it’s how I put it in my pipe, smoked it, and became a Michael Malone stan.

FML, am I now a Mazzulla head?!?? Because if this is what watching the town 4X a week will do, I gotta watch it atleast once lol

Unhinged in the best fucking way; love this for the rest of us who enjoy a spicy coach.

Be very afraid of a man who does their homework…

[–] BushidoBrowneII@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I expect nothing

Wtf is Rhode Island known for?

[–] sercialinho@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Smallest state, longest name.

Lol this just made me a Mazzulla fan

[–] GattacaCalisthenics@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love that guy (only seen interviews xD) but I thought the Celtics would let him go, Celtics fans don’t like him because young inexperienced as a coach etc

[–] AnonymousIguana_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I’d be pretty pissed about all the “too many threes” talk at this point too. He said a couple things about analytics, and now every bum cries about how “Mazzulla ball” lives and dies by the three even in games where we shoot less threes than the opponent. Threes are a big part of his gameplan, but we take threes because our offense is good at generating open ones when teams load up on the Jays. Not because we seek out opportunities to chuck contested ones.

And if you listen to the Reddick podcast he did, he acknowledges that you can’t just rely on shooting variance in the playoffs. We’ve been posting up Tatum, Porzingis, and even Brown and Jrue very purposefully this season. Its an extremely overblown narrative parroted by people who have already made up their minds about him.

[–] __init__m8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mazzulla is fucking weird. Dude could say anything and it just come off strange.

[–] Jscott1423@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What exactly is he trying to say here .?

[–] ajalonghorn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah everyone’s so worried about the “clapping back” it’s hard to even understand his argument. Celtics have shot themselves out of so many playoff games instead of going to the hole. Saying they shoot too many 3’s is not like a hot take.

[–] SaggyDaNewt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This dude freaks me out tbh but I respect it

[–] WernerHerzog69420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Was Mazulla the guy who was like “oh, I didn’t know that Jesus and Mary were there tonight” after a reporter asked him about royalty being at the game, or something?

[–] redditnathaniel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Joe Mazzulla is a serial killer in another universe.

[–] FuckShitBitch2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And here we are stuck with wife-beater Joe 😞

[–] testiclefrankfurter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We gonna pull up old tweets next?

[–] CanadianLionelHutz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Removing this from a basketball situation, like yeah. That’s literally the scientific method. You go off the best available information? When proven wrong, you reevaluate, and re-hypothesize.

[–] MightyActionGaim@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn. I like him

[–] _aspiringadult@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I honestly loved this exchange. It wasn’t even mean spirited like some of the comments suggest. He just shot back at him.

[–] ajalonghorn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He sarcastically said his article was good when he meant it was awful. That’s not mean to you?

[–] Jersey1633@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If there’s anyone worth being mean to, it’s Washburn. All that dude does is complain and be mean.

[–] ajalonghorn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Saying “it’s a great article” sarcastically is such a dick move. Like hey Mazulla I’m sure this guy would like to shit on you for your coaching decisions but instead he has to settle for just raising questions because the media isn’t allowed to treat you that way to your face. And then the laugh at the end just confirmed he’s a d-bag.

[–] tiggs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, nothing says accurate representation of the current state of the game and current logical opinions than quoting a 7 year old article as your source. Mind you, this is a game that is constantly changing.

I get what he's trying to do, but this isn't as much of a zinger as he thinks it is. If you're going to go this route with a journalist and try to catch them, then it has to be at least somewhat recent. This is especially true with a factor like three point shooting, which is miles away from what the standard was back then.

[–] BrokenManOfSamarkand@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fighting reporters is one of the most cringes things you do. It all but confirms that they got to you, and nearly impossible to not appear like you're being defensive.

Nerd.
