[NBC Sports Boston] Mazzulla responds to rumor about Knicks’ coaching pursuit: ‘There’s only one team I want to coach: it’s the Boston Celtics’
I want him to become our Pop, not because I think he’s the greatest coach ever. I just really want to see a 70 yr old Mazzulla going crazy in pressers and practices
70 year old Mazzulla choking out a robot reporter is something I need to live to see.
He’d bring in a laser pointer and fuck up all their sensors for asking him why he filmed a one man rendition of the town and made the team watch it
Somebody’s gotta hop in the cah when Renner gets asked
Tired of answering you rust bolted clankers! (Bang! Bang!)
I think Brad is more the engine that pushes this team forward but if we have him and Joe for the next 20 years I’m feeling pretty damn good about our team.
In a world where coaches get fired every few years it would to be nice to see us keep a guy around forever
40 years of Mazzulla pressers would be elite lmao
He really is a treasure!
Unlike when a lot of players and coaches say this; he actually means it
Dudes a born and raised new englander and bleeds New England sports, we got a ride or die
Imagine getting to coach your hometown team to a championship? Absolute legend
Was gonna say the same thing. This dude is from Rhode Island. He’s damn near a local.
I mean it’s as local as you can get outside of being from Mass. As fellow Rhode Islander we are essentially the little bastard cousin of Massachusetts. We also don’t have any national sports teams so we root Boston all the way. Especially considering it’s like an hour away to get there.
I’m from Mass. The little bastard cousin is definitely Connecticut. We don’t know how the fuck they got I. But apparently they are family. You’re like the little brother you love. Love to see Rhode Island rising up.
Then glad we can agree Connecticut fucking sucks. It really is the worst part of New England.
NH here jumping in to say I was just explaining to someone from the Midwest how CT is NE’s armpit.
Hell yes dude, fuck Connecticut.
Maine has some pretty shitty/redneck parts, though at least in terms of sports fandom its pretty loyal, where as say Western CT you’ll find fans of NY teams.
Yeah that’s why i said “damn near”. It’s no shade he’s just not from Mass. just being precise
In terms of sports fandom he is a local
Yeah I mean I’ve taken a 10 minute uber to the train station to get on the MBTA commuter rail to the garden to watch the celtics in under an hour and a half. Feel pretty local lol
Hell ya.
Thats our coach
🫡🥲
Mazzulla’s entire professional career has either been as a college coach/asst coach or with the Celtics. He’s won a championship and is leading the most successful franchise in the league.
The Knicks must just have this mindset of “Everyone wants to coach in New York! If we throw enough money his way he’ll come.” which is not rooted in any sense of reality.
Quite literally the only selling point they have is “it’s New York!” Which I wouldn’t really consider a selling point lol
It’s hard to imagine an NBA coach who seems less motivated by money than Mazzulla. He’s already making enough money to fund a lifetime of off-season competitive vision quest trips and personal jiu jitsu coaching, he’s good.
Mazzulla doesn’t want money, he wants physical and psychological battle
Boston is the only city he knows since it’s in The Town.
The only other team I’d like to see him coach is the Boston Red Sox. And that’s because it’d be super funny.
Sadly I don’t think mazulla can be left unattended in Fenway park for any amount of time
Mazzulla would be attempting diving catches at balls in the outfield and threaten his outfielders when they don’t give the same effort lol
You know you’re doing something right in coaching when you’ve got Natalie Nakase coach from the Valkyrie and JJ Reddick taking things that you do coaching wise and implementing them into their own philosophies/regimens.
I’d run through a fucking wall for Joe Mazzulla.
I’ll never forget Tatum taking that hard fall and Joe yelling at him to get up lmao that’s my coach.
Mike Brown already getting undermined before he’s coached a single game, already had to accept the list of coaches they pursued before him.
Red Auerbach is smiling in heaven right now.
That’s my MF coach!!!
This is my favourite maniac
In what world is being the head coach of the Knicks a more desirable job than being the head coach of the Celtics?
Its be funnier if he said San Antonio
It’s kind of funny the season hasn’t started & there’s rumors about a coaching change in NY already.
One word to discribe joe: FUNNY
“But there’s no other team that I’m coaching. It’s here, or I’m gonna go coach my kid’s soccer team or something like that.”
love it
I wouldn’t be surprised if the report is true. The Knicks were reaching out seemingly everyone. I also believe Mazzulla when he says this is where he wants to be.
Let’s trade him for a bag of balls
Too late, we already traded you for a bag of balls.
They want him? He flat out lost that series for us…
Booooooooo gtfo
Our players lost us the series
We lost 2 games in the series because Mazulla can’t adjust/couldn’t protect massive leads. He’s average intelligence 97-99 IQ so he’s limited in his ability to adjust.
Fitting username
Go. Away.
GTFO and go be a Knicks fan!
