Great interview. Joe should really let his personality shine through in the post game’s this year. Understandably, he seemed really combative last year and this made him more likeable. You should interview Spo if you can.
As a long time Boston fan, so happy Brad didn’t listen to the locals and held onto Joe. He was put in a tough situation last year, granted great team but absolutely thrown in the deep end with zero prep. Excited for 2024! JJ, it would be a DREAM to have you on the C’s coaching staff! A ton of great golf courses here in Mass! 😅
This interview kinda humanized joe for me, usually all you see is him kinda being belichick like in post game pressers, this was dope. Jj is the best media person in sports.
It's kinda crazy how comments like these are more and more common. Like I know they don't really have a personality when they're on TV cause they're at work but the idea of not really looking at someone like a regular human until they start talking is pretty wild. Everyone is human
@@sometimesposting6779 that's from you guys listening to them and actually believing them then. No one should dictate what your own opinion is on a stranger
@@dasupremegentlelad4321 some people show”human” side more than others. It was Joe’s first year dealing with the media in Boston. He was little more guarded and defensive then he will be in the future. Someone like the Dolphins coach McDaniels shows much more of his personality. It’s not all people just perceiving them incorrectly.
@@dasupremegentlelad4321sports media, fans, sports gambling, and reporters all objectify athletes . It’s only natural that it would be hard for people to see the human side of things
If I was a coach I'd get really annoyed by interviews too. Getting the same old cardboard cut-out questions time and time again. With JJ you're actually having a nice discussion so guys are themselves.
@@reneo6866JJ literally mentions it was recorded before the trade in the beginning. @user is just a wishing it wasn’t and we had gotten to hear his thoughts on it
"Analytics do go out the window in the playoffs, because the sample size is much smaller." Joe Mazzulla. Thank you for saying that. I've been saying that forever. I feel validated now. lol
I was at WVU with joe when he was starting pg there. Had a few classes with him and he was a guy that actually showed up to class took it seriously and was also genuinely a good person… would offer me rides after class and very down to earth person. Glad to see he is doing so well.
Was there the same time. Had a Spanish class with Tavon Austin. Couldn’t say he was the same, he tried to cheat off me on a couple exams and I finally was like “dude, I live on Sunnyside, I don’t I’m the one you wanna cheat off”. Also had a friend get in a fight with Truck Bryant at a party. He was a loser too. Good times 😂
Im tripping rn ha ima laker fan never would have watched this if jj didn't get the job, but damn as a man in my own struggles it's a dope conversation 🧐
I think he refers to the phase of maturity and nonstop struggles that men go through at their mid 30s to figure out who they are, at least that was the feeling I got in many segments here.

Coming back to this video after the Celtics won the championship starts putting things into place. What Mazzulla was able to do with this team was amazing: he not only instilled this sense of determination & dedication to just winning, no matter how or who did it, I think he genuinely made all these guys into friends. Their team chemistry is off the charts & clearly everyone respects each other greatly & just wants the team to win as a whole, because they know that they’ll all be happy together. Combine that mindset with Mazzulla’s naturally & insanely analytical thought processes, this team was absolutely enhanced by this young coach. Bravo Joe, you are a model coach by which others will hopefully aspire to be like 👏👏
As a laker fan this is the best case scenario we hate eachother but at the end the day who else would you want to lead the next chapter of our rivalry 🫡 i look forward to this new era of Laker/Celtics history
This interview is amazing. Going to my first year as a head coach, this is what I needed to hear. Being honest with your players is the first step of breaking the ice and establishing a connection. Thank you JJ.
One of my favorite episodes. Absolutely fantastic. We need more interviews with coaches talking about the struggles, the mindset an challenges that come with coaching a team. Really impressed with Joe and how much he reflects about the team and himself.
Legit, trying to make sense of this man last season was truly a highlight. He got his criticism, but he showed some promise and is one of the most interesting people in the league. Let’s go! Edit: Been 10 minutes, I already love this dude more.
I think he’s gonna do great this year having a whole off season to reflect on last year. People forget about how this guy had no idea he was going to be the HC until a week out of training camp. Not to mention Joe was able to select his coaching staff this year, rather than having Ime’s. The Celtics should be fun to watch this year
He reminds me of Mike McDaniels: clear communicator, intelligent, funny, and a bit of a odd guy, but odd in a way that shows confidence in and comfort with who they are and what they believe in.
Now I really want him to bring on Mike McDaniel onto the show. I don’t care if there’s no overlap between them, but not only has he interviewed individuals who are way less off the beaten path, but it would make for an oddly interesting episode if so
In my "opinion" [such as it is], Mazulla's humility is THE reason the Celtics gained perspective & gelled. LOVE the no-dribble practices & old-school fundamentals & identity. Truly, THIS Celtics team embodied the Auerbach values even the KG/Pierce/Allen teams lacked. In my mind, Bird would LOVE this TEAM [not "collection" of individuals]. It takes a Man of Character & Conviction to stay the course. Even now, people disregard Joe's CRUCIAL influence & leadership. I believe Stevens understands this man's irreplaceable influence on this TEAM [NOT collection of individuals]. This man is a credit to the NBA & biblical [immutable] VALUES. Longtime Celtics fan here: this was the most satisfying championship ever!
Cant wait to come back to this video in 11 months for the 2025 Finals when JJ is the head coach of the Lakers facing off vs Mazzulla’s defending champs
I wasn’t a big fan of Mazzula last season but after hearing his mindset I understand his decisions last season. I trust in him this season and I think this is the year 🍀
Brad is a smart dude, that’s evident with all the moves he’s made as a GM. Joe was an assistant on his staff for 3 years while he was still coaching, if Brad saw something in him and made him our guy then I trust him. Go Joe, Go Celtics ☘️
Thanks for bringing this content to us JJ. It’s insane to get these grounded conversations that are also very open. Very rare in sports media. Your guests bring a level of trust with you and you balance that that well.
I have coached varsity and came into a situation like Joe did and wow his answers are exactly everything I went through. So different levels obviously but his honesty and what coaches go through are amazingly accurate. There is no BS here. Good luck Joe!
So many coaches with star studded great teams have failed to win the big one... The fact Joe got it done and so quickly is such a testament to his coaching abilities, says it all. No way this young man does not continue to succeed... I just hopes its with the Celtics He is absolutely the real deal
The only time i ever reacted poorly as a fan and laid into the team was when they gave up in game seven last year, i blamed it on lack of leadership and coaching. I am glad to see growth in Joe in this conversation. Keep it going Joe
Great interview, can't wait to see how this season turns out Joe did alright dealt a tough hand last season, and in my opinion was 1 rolled ankle away from coaching in the NBA Finals
As a Celtics fan and huge supporter of JJ it hurts that this interview took place a couple of days before the Jrue Holiday acquisition would of love to hear coach Mazzula take on it
For high school to middle school. That equation has to be ( fast break and pressure defense). This was a really good interview. Please bring on more coaches
Having only experienced Coach Mazzulla via a few press conferences, I found him to be overly intense. Now I see he's also highly intelligent, self-aware, and real. Great interview!
Im tripping rn ha ima laker fan never would have watched this if jj didn't get the job, but damn as a man in my own struggles it's a dope conversation 🧐
pretty sure JJ rewatching this podcast again and again to (re)learn the following... 1) just like coach Joe, he's been brought out to coach a basketball franchise team. 2) being a first time head coach. 3) both of them are analysis and other math stuff and how to integrate that to the team. 4) and of course learning more what coach Joe did to boston esp after being an nba champ coach.
Joe: 'I never want to draw attention to myself' Also Joe: > standing on a duck boat roaring at crowd, before dismounting through a window, and Stone Cold strutting up and down the parade route slapping hands < I hope this dude is the coach of the Celtics for a really long time.
How refreshing it feels to have an honest discussion about vulnerability and insecurities in an environment dominated by oversized egos and toxic masculine traits representation. Thank you
We got Sam Cassell now.. he’s the one teaching Tatum how to take more mid range shots and using his post up to create plays. Have you guys noticed he’s not taking 9 3s a game!? His shooting does look better too, more balanced and he’s stronger so the ball feels light when your strong like he is.
I’m a much bigger Joe Mazz fan after this. I admit I was frustrated with him last year from time to time. And I do disagree with him that we (Boston fans) can tell when he coached a good or bad game win or lose. It was mentioned during media day how intelligent we are when it comes to the game of basketball compared to other teams. And I think it’s true.
Thanks for watching, everyone! Joe was awesome.
Almost million subscribers!
Thank you for sharing this video with the RUclips community. Much appreciated. All the best!
Great interview. Joe should really let his personality shine through in the post game’s this year. Understandably, he seemed really combative last year and this made him more likeable.
You should interview Spo if you can.
He’s retarded. & so are you for defending his idiocy…!!! Normalizing stupidity…!!! Unreal…!!
Hi JJ please Joe mentioned a book WAR by who again, i missed that and cant seem to get the exact moment and replay
POV you’re watching this back when the Celtics are in the finals. Joe is such a great coach
After the Celtics won the finals!
I'm rewatching now that they won. Well earned coach.
@@davidhitzy8580 And before!
Seems like he was teaching the team about having a killer mindset. Had them watching UFC fights apparently.

Seeing CWA in this section of YT is something I didn't expect. Love to see it
Real fans know what's up. Sports radio in Boston fosters the harshest and COLDEST takes. It's unbelievable.
appreciate you Ash🍀
@medz32 I was totally talking about his Clash Royale videos 💀. But definitely put me on new material 👌
I have to confess I wanted him gone too but I’m appreciative for this interview. Go Joe and Go Celtics 👏🏾
Joe is incredibly intelligent and well spoken. His maturity is evident, all power to him.
He’s basically Brad 2.0 for good or bad
@@greenman6889no he’s not
He's more like Brad 0.5
Why wouldn’t he be well spoken? He’s a grown man with a professional job

You assume it was recorded after the trade lol

Supporter recommendation, have your editor mark the time stamps/chapters for the conversations throughout the video. Love the show. Keep growing
Facts, please do this
Seems like a no brainer
It's funny that this is now an interview between the Lakers head coach and the Celtics head coach.
The coaches of the two biggest nba rivals and organizations having a wholesome chat!

Nice take this is all true! Celtics players all get along and like each other and it shows on the court. They trust each other.
As a BOSTON Celtic Fan I just really wish JJ joined Jo's Coaching Staff, hopefully one day soon when he is done coaching his son!
He was apparently offered the raptors job if he wanted it but idk if that’s true
And of course, JJ goes to the Lakers lol
As a laker fan this is the best case scenario we hate eachother but at the end the day who else would you want to lead the next chapter of our rivalry 🫡 i look forward to this new era of Laker/Celtics history
Clearly, this is the most open we've ever heard Joe. Enjoyed hearing him discuss his philosophy. Very insightful interview. Thank you JJ.

Do you have plans to interview Brad Stevens? Would be Awesome
Would make me wet and hard
Indeed I would luv that
As a Boston guy, we're so lucky to have him 💚
Indeed
I can listen to Joe talk all day.
What a positive conversation about both basketball and personal growth. Much appreciated!
What an amazing gentleman, brilliant. Let’s celebrate our team and our coach! JJ is very good!
As a Celtics fan this podcast made me a Joe fan! Great job JJ and keep doing your thing Joe! Celtics fans have your back
I love Joe!
Not really a Celtics fan, but a lifelong WVU fan. Wish nothing but the best for him.
He reminds me of Mike McDaniels: clear communicator, intelligent, funny, and a bit of a odd guy, but odd in a way that shows confidence in and comfort with who they are and what they believe in.
I’m similar to him but my communication sucks 😂tho
I'm glad you didn't say Josh McDaniels
Now I really want him to bring on Mike McDaniel onto the show. I don’t care if there’s no overlap between them, but not only has he interviewed individuals who are way less off the beaten path, but it would make for an oddly interesting episode if so
That’s crazy I was thinking the same thing when I was watching this
@@okeythegoat2332 ay that's the easiest one to work on
Loved this one especially the last topic. "Figure it out". And I think the Celtics will finally do this season

This was so good. You don’t often get an authentic view if the person behind the player/coach.
New respect for and confidence in Joe! Great interview!

Him coming home to his wife and saying WE’RE the intern head coach is so cute
Awesome interview. Really got to see Joe for who he is. Big fan.

Joe did alright dealt a tough hand last season, and in my opinion was 1 rolled ankle away from coaching in the NBA Finals
I think JJ is doing these because in 2 years or less he will be an NBA coach or front office man.
Good call😅

I was hoping JJ would be added to the Celtics staff earlier. That’s crazy they were talking about before.
This was such a good episode thanks JJ Celtics fans needed this insight !! Banner 18 is hereeeee 🍀💚
With that roster it's expected so you better not lose
Having only experienced Coach Mazzulla via a few press conferences, I found him to be overly intense. Now I see he's also highly intelligent, self-aware, and real. Great interview!
Brad Stevens owes you an interview for the timing of the Holiday trade. 😂
Came for the basketball, but left with some really valuable insight on life.
You got something special here JJ.
I love this guy, great pickup JJ.
Joe is going too be a great coach for many years too come, and i think the Celtics win the championship 🏆 this year..

Rly hope so

Just give the trophy to the celtics now. They will be unstoppable.
3 more to go🍀🍀🥳
Really good interview gives a good look into the mindset of Coach Mazzulla.
JJ is the goat for this one. Mazzulla is great haha
Last 2 eps have amazing JJ, keep it up
amazing interview, smart guy, very cool he was willing to share
2 minutes in and this is the most I’ve ever heard Mazulla talk. Ever.
pretty sure JJ rewatching this podcast again and again to (re)learn the following...
1) just like coach Joe, he's been brought out to coach a basketball franchise team.
2) being a first time head coach.
3) both of them are analysis and other math stuff and how to integrate that to the team.
4) and of course learning more what coach Joe did to boston esp after being an nba champ coach.
I was already very high on Joe before this pod. Love him and the C’s even more now.
Cheers JJ
hilarious how jj starts the interview saying “it’s fitting to do it now” just days before the pod could’ve gotten even better😭😂
Feel like JJ can apply a lot from this interview with his new gig as an NBA Head Coach. Wishing him the best!
I'm excited to see this team on the floor... just hope they can stay healthy. If so, the sky's the limit. Go Celtics!!
I love having no expectations makes it feel awesome when you do good
So cool to see Joe comfortable and engaging
Love having coaches. I know Spo doesn’t do this time of stuff but if anyone could do it, it’s JJ. I need to hear Spo talk about it
Man…, that’s my coach! I’m so proud of our organization for have hired this man to be our head-coach.
Lol
Best basketball podcast out rn 🔥
Excellent podcast session with JM
Such a great interview on transitioning to a head couch. Shoutout to Joe.
He seems a lot happier then last year when being interviewed and press hopeful for a great season Joe

Amazing interview. We really appreciate Joe's insight. As a fan I have a better understanding of Joe and his style. I love it.
