CreatiScope | Celtics

35 | a day ago

That’s also how I felt about Brad Stevens. I think he did better with misfit toy players that he got way more juice out of than most coaches could. There was a trend that our successful role players were getting bloated contracts when they left and looked nowhere near as good afterward and I think Brad caused a lot of that.

Where I think he struggled was managing egos of the better players.

But, I think that’s what he also likes and saw in Joe when he hired him as an assistant and then bumped to HC when Ime had the scandal. I don’t think Joe is as creative as Brad with the plays and the wacky lineups Brad would throw together that seemed to be the exact thing we needed at that moment but he gets them playing HARD.

SylvesterLundgren

27 | a day ago

Thank God Brad has been absolutely killing it as the GM, because he was one of the best coaches in the league. Both Brad and Joe are redlining with great success, and if they weren’t the discourse around both of their positions would be one of the most interesting talking points around the league.

champagnesupernova10 | Celtics

If anything, Joe is probably secretly having more fun this season because he’s working with underdogs

EarthWarping | NBA

Watching the Raptors/Celtics game this past weekend and my goodness the difference in identity from those 2 teams was stark.

Was the rare game lately the Raptors had the talent advantage and the Celtics were the harder working team.

It’s not a secret! He’s on record saying it several times!!!

bush_league_commish | Celtics

3 | a day ago

He can also do weird lineups and game strategy and no one can really criticize him because look at our roster what else are we supposed to do?

TatumBrownWhite | Celtics

47 | a day ago

I would argue that in 2024 he didn’t get enough credit for the improvements of Pritchard, Hauser, and Kornet.

Nobody held those players in the regard they do now at that point in time.

howdthatturnout

14 | a day ago

I agree, except Pritchard.

Brad gave Pritchard 19.3mpg in 2020-21 and he averaged 7.7ppg.

Then Ime played him barely at all.

Then Joe played him even less in 2022-23.

Then finally Pritchard got minutes again in 2023-24 with 22.3 mpg and scored 9.6 ppg.

In Pritchard’s 8th game of his whole career he had 23 points in a win. He scored double digits in his 3rd and 4th games in his career.

In his rookie season he had 22 games of 10+ points including 4 games of 20+.

If anything Ime and first season Joe kind of stunted Pritchard some. I know there is more to basketball than just offense, but he always had effort on defense and looked like he could hold up if given more trust and run.

TreyAdell | Celtics

27 | a day ago

The Celtics had Marcus/White/Malcolm, they just didn’t have room for Payton in the rotation in ‘23. Brad even admitted that when Payton came to him for a trade he knew he had to move guys to make time for Payton.

CreatiScope | Celtics

3 | a day ago

Even though he did well, I think Brogdon was a mistake. I said it at the time, I didn’t like it. I think he also masked a problem of ours and didn’t lead to the players actually fixing their tendency to disappear on offense. But, getting him allowed us to use his money to get Jrue so I’m happy in the end. Still, I would’ve rather kept Nesmith than get Brogdon.

TreyAdell | Celtics

14 | a day ago

idk Malcolm helped us not lose a playoff series to the Sixers so I’m forever grateful for that, he was fucking money in that series.

howdthatturnout

1 | a day ago

The first half of the 2021-22 season we didn’t have White or Brogdon and he still wasn’t given much minutes.

You aren’t wrong that his low minutes were in part due to our guard depth. But that also supports my isotope that Pritchard was good, and it wasn’t some sort of Joe development story and more of an instance of getting opportunity.

TreyAdell | Celtics

3 | a day ago

He ended up playing his way into the playoff rotation during the Finals run in 21-22 tho. I agree with you its less about Joe and more about him but I also don’t think any coach really stunted him. He played his way through the system and got shit done and now hes here.

howdthatturnout

1 | a day ago

Maybe stunted isn’t quite the right word. Though I kind of feel like it is because he flashed so much even his rookie season when given more minutes and then just didn’t get to do more because of lack of minutes. Then soon as he was given more minutes consistently he took off.

ksyndrome | Celtics

2 | a day ago

Dennis Schroeder and Josh Richardson were considered decent bench vets and soaked a lot of minutes in the first half of 2022

While Pritchard was nice, it wasn’t obvious (yet) that he deserved more minutes over those two at the time

howdthatturnout

3 | a day ago

Yeah I remember. I still don’t think this is some big Joe development story. Pritchard’s game looked largely the same his rookie season. He always showed he had these type of offensive skills, he just was not given many minutes.

CreatiScope | Celtics

2 | a day ago

I agree with this, rookie PP was clearly special and it sucked seeing him get shunted to the bench, although he got more play towards the end of the 22 season because Ime HAD to play him when Brad traded all the guards away except Smart and brought in White.

EAS1000 | Celtics

35 | a day ago

Hugo ROY and MVP, hell give him MIP too because his defense is so good it’s almost like he’s played multiple seasons and improved

Big-time COY. Mazzulla Ball is just good basketball. Play your whole team?! That’s crazy!!!

internetosaurus | Celtics

2 | a day ago

There are multiple players on this team who can put the other team in hell defensively and then also kinda do it on offense. I don’t have them winning it all like I don’t have the Patriots quite yet but this team is a fucking problem.

Son_of_Atreus | Celtics

2 | a day ago

If you want to give Coach of the Year to a coach who actually coaches with game plans and shit, then Mazzula has to be a lock for it.

Too bad so many of the NBA awards are based on narrative, much of which is set by the biggest talking heads that other voters fall in to following.

thepeachgod | Celtics

212 | a day ago

Give whoever is watching random European practice footage of Hugo Gonzalez a raise. Once his offense comes around he’s going to be a very good NBA player

FigLeaf_Bi-Carbonate | Celtics

83 | a day ago

I haven’t seen this type of grit and intensity in a player since Smart. Hugo was all over the place tonight and did so many things that don’t show up on the stat sheet. We gained so many extra possessions with how he was forcing turnovers and jumping on every loose ball.

Horror_Roll9335 | Celtics

20 | a day ago

I was such a hater on him. He averaged 2 points a game in the Euroleague, 5 in the Spanish league. How did they see this!?

johnjohn2214 | Supersonics

13 | a day ago

I did, sort of. He was getting more minutes toward the end of the year in the ACB, and I saw him defend at an extremely high level. His energy was there. He had some good shooting nights. I still had him as a late first-round pick because his offense needed a lot of work, especially his shooting. He always excelled against his age group. I think it’s important to note that these types of players don’t get a lot of playing time on bad teams who are less drawn to intangible energy guys but more to star searches and building blocks.

AfroHouseManiac

2 | a day ago

He was supposed to be a lottery pick had he followed Egor to the states and played college ball instead. He was that good but Real Madrid pro team nerfed and made him earn his minutes by the end of the season being the team’s janitor.

AfroHouseManiac

2 | a day ago

He’s not asked to score. Only defend and hustle because he’s playing with actual players who have played in the nba. He played with Serge Ibaka, Facu, Mario Hezonja, Dzanan Musa, Bruno Fernando, Usman Garuba, Gabriel Deck, etc. Not much scoring opportunities like Luka’s team had. If you watched Hugo during Euroleague, you knew he was competitive and hustled. That’s why was he compared to Christian Braun and Alex Caruso.

AfroHouseManiac

8 | a day ago

Brad Stevens has been scouting Hugo since he was in Real Madrid u-18 juniors. He was literally seen at the Real Madrid vs Pole Paris ANGT final game in Berlin. Egor Demin, Nathan Soliman, Hugo Yigma, Hugo Gonzalez, Nolan Traore, etc all played in that game.

Im__Ron__Burgundy | Celtics

173 | a day ago

Joe playing Hugo the first 23.5 minutes of the second half, subbing him out, and then bringing him back in for the final 10 seconds cracked me up.

Jaylen Brown is an absolute stud. Tatum can take his time and once he’s back for the playoffs the Celtics are favourites to come out of the east.

EAS1000 | Celtics

JB has been miles better as a 1 than I expected. Losing Tatum has sucked but getting JB this experience will hopefully may massive dividends moving forward.

Justalittlejewish | Celtics

48 | a day ago

Once Tatum is truly back, and assuming he’s able to get back to close to 100%, we’re about to have 2 dudes who can sleepwalk into a 30 ball.

itormentbunnies | BOS

12 | a day ago

Not to mention one or more of Simons, Pritchard, or White popping off for another 20-30(or 40 if you’re Pritchard).

crashbandicoochy | Celtics

43 | a day ago

The stretches each of them has had without the other really highlight how much they’re sacrificing when they’re both out there. This Jaylen season is giving me a new appreciation for that.

CreatiScope | Celtics

14 | a day ago

Yeah, 2021 Tatum was dropping 50 bombs to win games and those of us that watch them a lot can see that he could go crazy with scoring and be a ball hog player but they both sacrificed for the team. We really got lucky getting two awesome guys to be our superstars.

Pascal’s great but he’s not much of a facilitator. If I was typing this out to be 100% accurate I’d have said the pacers dropping games like this is indicative of deeper issues at beyond individual skill
