Bro, JJ’s guests are the best in the business. And putting the guest in a position to be able to really open up and speak their mind, just too good. JJ and RJ are the future of basketball media and broadcasting. Whenever shaq and charles decide to pack it in, TNT, hire these guys. Whatever it takes.
Best in the business??? Dude coached a team with one of the best duos in the NBA in Tatum and Brown and nearly got swept by the 8 seed miami heat who has jimmy butler and role players
@@arselarbo9044i think he’s just green and made a lot of rookie mistakes last year. I wouldn’t say he’s bad yet we’ve never really seen a coach get thrown in the situation he did. By that i mean most interim coaches aren’t still expected to make the finals when they take over the team(closest example would be Paul Westhead or Pat Riley). We’ll see what he really is this year
@@togzus Fair enough but it’s good to see another side to him as well. Being taken seriously has a lot more to do with showing rock solid leadership and finding ways to win in tough situations than someone’s demeanor. I can’t blame him for coming off a bit robotic in the playoffs with all that pressure and adrenaline though
@@ramzeezthamightygod True. I was just putting myself in his shoes. To follow up as another black coach in Boston after the Ime drama. Mazzulla got good character and lots of heart. Plus he's not to be played with.
Based on his performance and general concept of "Lets play small ball and shoot a bunch of threes" even when his players aren't good shooters (Tatum/Brown shoot BELOW league average from 3). I doubt he is that good of a coach. He just stayed in the organization enough to be called up
Crazy to think a dude who got a team that had 51 wins and was closer to a title, and only kept them in the same spot (minus a finals appearance) in spite of having the clearly deepest and best roster in the league, is a good coach. Oh and also was down 0-3 in that finals series and his team didn't show up for game 7. The dude has about 9 months on the job and then he will be an assistant coach somewhere else. Guaranteed. They would have fired him last year if he got swept @@Cjcastres
Boston have a “Spoelstra” type situation here if they give this man enough time to grow as a coach. He’s young and got potential. I hope they give him and the Celtics core time to grow because when they do they really can 3 peat or at least go back to back.
@@CleanMusicLover229 Do you think Spo had all of that when he first started coaching? He was a legendary, best coach in the league type, right out of the gates?
1:07 Coach: “what if we got the 1st seed and we lost to the 8 seed? I’d probably wouldn’t even be here right now” JJ: “ coach, I’d hate to tell you, but you did lose to the 8 seed.” JJ is a savage😂😂😂😂
The Mazzulla hate from Celtics fans last year was so odd to me. And I say that as a Celtic fan myself. The dude took over the team as a rookie coach the week of training camp and had a surrounding coaching staff that was one foot out the door before we even hit the halfway point of the season. Was he perfect? Obviously not and nobody should've expected him to be. I can't wait to see what he does with a coaching staff that is truly behind him and working with him, and with a full season of experience under his belt. He's got my support! And if you're a Celtics fan saying "fire Joe" please tell me who is replacing him.
As a Celtics fan I have to say that I feel confused whenever a former Celtics player says something like "Boston fans can't be fooled, they know ball, they understand how the game works. Other franchises have a ton of casual fans who really don't understand the business." Well, these former players must have had the luckiest encounters with fans because I've had discussions with a ton of Celtics fans who don't know what they're talking about, the "Fire Joe" thing was just another example. You can see some of these people on this comment section.
@@joeparziale685 That's correct, but Joe did an amazing job regardless. He had no off-season to mentalize for a head coaching role, Ime got suspended less than a week before training camp. He didn't get to pick his coaching staff, he was there around Ime's guys minus Tom Hardy. Then lost Damon right before the playoffs. Also, people were saying dumb stuff like "Just do what Ime did" yeah right, Rob missed like 50 games and spent most of the season trying to get into game shape. Smart was nursing an injury for most of the season and was a shell of his DPOY season. So yes, good luck doing what Ime did without the two guys who made All-Defense teams.
Joe sounds so much more confident this year... noticed it at media day, can tell he's more comfortable in his own shoes now. I hope it leads to Banner 18!
JJ, your guests are always great but every now and then you really up the bar. This was really insightful. As a casual, i love hearing more detail analysis from the coaches perspective on how they approach the game with adjustments. Please more of this!
Mazzulla is one of the best basketball minds out there..A very fresh outlook to today's game..& he just got started as a head coach.. Gonna be one of the best coaches in the league in the future for sure..
I really hope that Joe learned from his mistakes in the playoffs last summer. I give him some credit for the near 3-0 comeback but I also put a lot of the blame on him for going down 3-0 to a worse team. The lack of calling timeouts, adjustments, and running the same out of bounds plays with the game on the line…. Really bothered me. I think he will be better with his new staff. I get he was in a hard situation to start last year. Let’s hope he’s better.
@@FloydWhoElseTVhey numb skull, i know that. But a lot of the errors he made were so bad that high school coaches wouldn’t make those errors. For example in game 1 against Miami he didn’t call a timeout the entire third quarter they went on like a 37-12 run or something absurd. That’s inexcusable
@@kyle3860 alot of coaches have done that in the past from coach bud, to frank Vogel, to nick nurse, to Greg pop. The philosophy behind it is putting trust in the team to figure it out. Humans make mistake and aren't God. Only people perfect is people in the RUclips comment section. They always know the right things to type when they aren't the ones making the call in real life
@@FloydWhoElseTV that’s a cute message bro! you’re right but at the same time mazulla made more mistakes than he should have. He has a second chance though. I hope he makes it work
@@kyle3860 coaching a team with championship aspirations and that's your first head coaching Jon, isn't easy. I think last year he got his feet wet and I think he will be more assertive and comfortable. Nobody is truly great there first year on the Job. Being an assistant and being a head coach is 2 different responsibilities
Mazzulla gets a lot of crap, sometimes deservedly so, but overall he's a great coach and leader of men. Looking forward to how he handles this upcoming season and title expectations with this newly retooled Boston roster. As fans, we all win in my opinion. Thanks for the content JJ.
This season is going to be epic. The favorites, in my mind: Nuggets proved themselves a phalanx, Bucks and Celtics are going to become one, and Phoenix, Golden State, the Lakers and Miami are giving it all they got to try to make magic happen. Many other individuals and teams are vying to emerge or fulfill the goals of old and there is such a plethora of talent in the league in terms of skills and amazing, unique stat lines and achievements. I can't remember a comparable NBA season in my lifetime. Also, this channel is great. So many great videos and interviews in the past year. I'm excited to keep up with this channel this season.
Biggest difference is vocality and leadership. Jrue more so let’s his game do the talking. Which isn’t bad, but sometimes a guy like smart who holds guys accountable is better in certain situations. The J’s started off the 2021 season out of sync and the Celtics were losing as a result. Marcus Smart gave them a earful and as a result they listened to him and started winning games. Celtics these past few years have also voted Smart and Al as team leaders. Jrue is not that vocal leader that will say what needs to be said to move the needle
Don’t agree with the adjustment part. That’s what great coaches do, they know when to adjust and what adjustment to make. Spo was literally adjusting between every single POSESSION calling out from the sidelines. From man, to drop, to zone to switch. In a 4 minute span I literally saw Miami run them all and it worked.
Agree, however Boston is definitely worthy of an exception. Their talent is so top tier, they just struggled to make the 3 ball land. Of course adjusting wouldn't hurt and I'm sure they'll be more inclined to do so this year. Another problem was between jb and Tatum they have similar scoring styles and never really played any 2 man game. I think as long as Boston have KP they'll be way better than people might even have them rn. If he stays healthy he's gonna shoot the lights out
I strongly agree with Coach Mazzulla. You just don't know. And I think the better you are the more you understand it. There are so many permutations of how events could unfold, you could spend all your energy trying to speculate on it. Its much better to focus on the things you have at 80% control over It is a sign of strength to remove yourself from the space of narrative.
I understand Joe Mazzulla got a lot of hate since he is a young coach, but basketball fans need to remember Erik Spoelstra went through the same thing but on another level since he had LBJ, Chris Bosh, and D-Wade. The Celtics believe in Joe Mazzulla, and I'll give it time before I make my final decision on how bad, good, or great of a coach Joe Mazzulla is. Celtics do have the talent to compete for a title, but it's tough to say which team in the east or west will make it to the finals.
The fact that his #1 problem last year was his inability to make in-game adjustments and he goes on to say that he struggled with the line of when to go with analytics/actual gameplan worries me. His statement of when you go to make the adjustment you are screwed? Correct me if I’m taking it out of context, but imo that is not the versatile/agile mindset you need to make effective in-game adjustments lol.
I think he’s admitting that he struggled with that balance because his default is ‘stick to what works with your squad’. He’s got the makings of a good coach tho, he needs time.
As a fan it's easy to get overhyped lol especially with social media now a days. Will Dame and Giannis be the next kobe/shaq probably not. Do they have a chance to be damn good dear I even say special absolutely. Overall I think most NBA fans are just happy to see Dame get a chance to dance on the biggest stage. He gets a chance to show us why he's really a top 75 player and his names belongs next to the greats
He has that pop mentality with the media where he’s not gonna give them much, and I kinda like that. It’s weird when he’s a first year coach doing it but at the same time I kinda loved his post game stuff last year. “What went wrong tonight?” “We didn’t score enough points”
people forgetting that the celtics are looking stacked asf too. on paper, this might be the year with the most parity in nba history between contending teams. all the best teams are loading up on talent and depth.
1:13 "coach I hate to tell you, but you did lose to the 8th seed" :P it kind of seems crazy the amount of access there is in 2023, like JJ sitting down with a coach of a top team in the nba that was in an incredibly dramatic Eastern conference final series for presumably I'd hope the pod was at least an hour like in 2001, if Larry Brown did any hour plus long interviews back then, I'm not aware of them if Don Nelson of the Mavs did any hour plus long interviews back then, I'm not aware of them It would've been neat to have a podcast with Erik Spoelstra after the Heat won the championship in 2006 also, you need to fly him back out to the studio 1st class, get his thoughts on the Jrue trade if it hadn't happened prior to the podcast, and then fly him right back 1st class to training camp
I've never seen Mazzula smile. That dude is always so straight faced n cold man I never thought I'd see that haha He lost to the 8 seed without any significant injuries. Bucks did with their MVP breaking his tailbone in the 1st game... Slight difference.
I am glad Joe Mazzulla was on the podcast before he gets fired at the end of this year (he would have been fired if they got swept by Miami but his players saved his job for a year)

@@ramzeezthamightygod In a city like Boston, a "young" coach would want to be taken seriously.

Exactly. You can see how much Joe is thinking about everything. The next step for him as a coach is to trust his guts
Spoelstra actually has an offensive and defensive system that works. The Celtics needed to hire a veteran coach.

He was stubborn and very defensive whenever anyone questioned what he was doing. That's what turned people off. I can tell he learned from last year.
Celtics fans are dumb period

He has that pop mentality with the media where he’s not gonna give them much, and I kinda like that. It’s weird when he’s a first year coach doing it but at the same time I kinda loved his post game stuff last year.
“What went wrong tonight?”
“We didn’t score enough points”
JJ you balling outta control rn on the pod, keep up the good work 🔥
Woahhh! This is huge!
people forgetting that the celtics are looking stacked asf too. on paper, this might be the year with the most parity in nba history between contending teams. all the best teams are loading up on talent and depth.
We? When did JJ become a coach!!!
And the answer to your question JJ. Is Jrue, thats how we reinvent haha.
Great content as usual
I always knew Joe would feel/look comfortable around a dude like JJ...they got similar personality...except JJ knows how to be more outgoing
I'm sure Joe has alot on his mind and he has alot to prove
8:17 It's funny cause did end up replacing him, in a very straightforward way.
4:35 i felt that when in the miami series, joe wasn't playinig grant that much but 2 jays and marcus talked to joe about that. joe ended up conceding.
He wound really tight
1:13 "coach I hate to tell you, but you did lose to the 8th seed" :P
it kind of seems crazy the amount of access there is in 2023, like JJ sitting down with a coach of a top team in the nba that was in an incredibly dramatic Eastern conference final series for presumably I'd hope the pod was at least an hour
like in 2001, if Larry Brown did any hour plus long interviews back then, I'm not aware of them
if Don Nelson of the Mavs did any hour plus long interviews back then, I'm not aware of them
It would've been neat to have a podcast with Erik Spoelstra after the Heat won the championship in 2006
also, you need to fly him back out to the studio 1st class, get his thoughts on the Jrue trade if it hadn't happened prior to the podcast, and then fly him right back 1st class to training camp
Was this before or after the Jrue Holiday trade?
"When you make an adjustment you're screwed"?? What is this guy talking about
8:40 cool stat
8:15 "you dont replace marcus smart"...goes on and get jrue holiday 😅
Dame time
I've never seen Mazzula smile. That dude is always so straight faced n cold man I never thought I'd see that haha
He lost to the 8 seed without any significant injuries. Bucks did with their MVP breaking his tailbone in the 1st game... Slight difference.
JT ankle injury in game 7 was severe. The fact that it happened on the opening play of the game changed the entire tone.
@@MultipleMike-tl2ty They should have taped his ankle like the Nuggets taped Jokic's in the finals.
GOD bless you all🤎 GOD loves you dearly please never forget that!
You should bring Athletic Alchemy on here, I wanna see him with other basketball minds like you and Gil( for the hilarity )
I hope Coach Joe Mazzula use a timeout now, draw a play, need play DEFENSE & stop more 3pt attempt if your players struggle
I am glad Joe Mazzulla was on the podcast before he gets fired at the end of this year (he would have been fired if they got swept by Miami but his players saved his job for a year)
Young pop
He got fired?? I didnt know, he seemed like a solid coach
I need Joe to be better this year
"Sometimes the most uncomfortable thing is to do what you are suppose to do"
Joe seems much more laid back than Ime
