[Highlight] Celtics players and Head Coach Joe Mazzulla discuss their house rules. Joe Mazzulla: “I hate when the people you know ring the doorbell. That’s so annoying, just open the door.”
The man who wants a wolf wants you to come to his house and just open the door.
Wolf’s hungry.
Joe would 100% feed his wolf humans too
If they didn’t want to get eaten they shouldn’t have shown fear
Dog food is pricey
Exactly what I was going to post! Joe Mazzulla would be very low down on the list of people where I would think of opening the door unannounced.
Probably because he’s in a gated community so the person wouldn’t be allowed in the neighborhood by chance to begin with.
Ah yea, I have a bad case of the poor.
Join the club buddy
Easiest to enter, hardest to leave.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think gated communities are as prevalent in MA (in particular around Boston) as they are in other states. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one and I’ve been here over 35 years.
I feel like it’s a “nobody’s going to his house unless they’re invited” type thing where it’s more of a “yeah duh you can come in, we were expecting you and that’s why the door’s unlocked” thing………. But it’s Mazzulla so who the f knows lmao
Don’t murder me. I beg of you, don’t murder me. Pleaaaase, don’t murder me.
One of their best songs, love the dire wolf 🐺
If you don’t know his wolf well enough, then what are you even doing at his house?
Dude just wants to live like a Zoldyck from HxH.
The guard is told to let everyone in so they can meet Mike.

It also feels like if I opened his door unannounced I would get a roundhouse kick to the face before the wolf eats me.
The wolf is the doorbell
If you know Joe well enough to go to his house, the wolf knows you well enough to let you stay.
He wants to see what it feels to take a life
A fair amount of the people who could just walk into his house are also gargantuan. Not sure if that matters with a wolf, but still.
Joe Mazzulla seems to have zero patience for social normaties and small talk.
I’ll bet he’d get annoyed with you if you tried to talk to him just to say “Nice weather we’re having, eh?”
“What are you a fuckin weatherman now?”
“Can you change the weather? Then why should I care about it”
Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy?
“How do you know what kind of god DAMNED day it is?
Glad someone got it
It’s why he fits perfectly in Boston.
“Hot one today, huh?”
“YEAH!?”
Oh that Wally loves to say it’s a hot one when I already know it’s a hot one because I’m STANDING OUTSIDE IN THE HOT ONE. Thanks a lot, Wally.
This whole episode is one of my top all time, the Wally scenes and the general mental degradation throughout the ep are just masterfully done lol
He’s my spirit animal lol. He’s the version of me that I most want to be but I can’t because I have to be nice lol.
You don’t have to be nice. Trust me.
Being nice is cool though
Joe is from New England. He has to allow the weather small talk, right??
Isn’t it a social norm to just walk in at your family and close friends houses?
No. It’s a polite knock as you’re entering.
I mean I do, but it’s always a text confirmation first that you’re on the way
Well ya, if you’re showing up out of the blue ringing the doorbell would be the thing to do. But if they’re expecting you there’s no need to ring the doorbell.
May he lead a successful revolution!
“If you say that to me again you’ll never see weather for the rest of your life” or some shit lol
He just like me
Don’t lie - he’s who you wish you were
I do quite literally hate small talk and most social normaties annoy me.
Did you think I was trying to say I’m worthy of being an NBA coach or something?
Get his ass
“Oh so when it’s raining and the plants are getting valuable water to nourish and grow, that’s not nice? Life’s about balance. All weather is good.”
JB got a little mini therapy in there.
I do not understand the kind of experience it must be to be married to Joe Mazzulla. Like I find him equal parts funny and aggravating from the various clips. It appears he does not have an off switch and this is exactly how he is. Which must mean his wife is remarkably patient and tolerant.
Or just as crazy as he is
I don’t know if you can have that because presumably in some ways they would have particular bizarre things that they are aggressively stubborn on which could only end poorly after a while.
Unless by some miracle they have all the same bizarre beliefs and also the need to watch the Town continually.
Mazzulla is definitely softer around the edges when the cameras / media isn’t around him. Some of the stories players have told, and the fact that pretty much all his players have loved him I think shows that
100%. Even in this clip when he’s trying to take a hard stance on a trivial house rule like wearing shoes in the house, he hedges that him and wife “go back and forth on it”.
He’s clearly a funny guy that enjoys a bit and has a dry sense of humor, but he’s not actually going home demanding weird rules and shit lol.
Him at WWE Raw with Derrick White the other week was great
It’d be pretty funny if this was all just a bit and he was a normal dude at home.
There’s a clip from a podcast he was on where he says that the first day he and his wife got in their new house, when he became head coach, he said to her that they can’t let this change them and make them complacent and that they couldn’t enjoy it and she started crying. So I think there’s some ups and downs for sure
There’s a huge difference between talking and doing, I don’t think you can be a husband or a coach by being as strict and intolerant as he says he is
I learned Hugo was a tablet kid lol
He’s only 19! (Just turned 20)
He wasn’t born when any of the 3 LOTR movies came out.
oh no. I knew I was old, but cmon man..
I don’t know if you’re from Chicago or just a fan, but you may appreciate that he was also born after College Dropout and Late Registration.
Fuck Kanye
All my homies hate Kanye
insert “Jayson Tatum being 19 years old” joke
The tablet kids watching videos way too loud at Chilis are oldest enough to be in the nba….me old.
Loll why is Chili’s so accurate
Every time I hear from this guy he sounds like a total psychopath. I love it.
I relate to him so much and I’m not sure what that says about me. I might be autistic.
He just says what we want to say, but we simply cannot because it would be seen as rude and not quirky.
To be fair, what he is saying is not even that crazy if you grew up in villages where everyone knows each other.(or in super rich gated communities…)
So yeah, not autistic, quite normal to be fair. We all would love to live a life without all this pretentious bs… but it is what it is.
If you’re not opening my front door like Kramer from Seinfeld, are we even friends?
no, Friends had Joey
How you doin 😏
Nah, I quite like my privacy. Don’t simply open the door.
You just dont get the thrill of getting caught.
Mazzulla gets it!
Many people might be. But how does one even tell w/o paying out the wazoo in doctor fees
Yeah but it might be worth it to be able to say “Sorry. I’m autistic” whenever I do something weird and socially unacceptable.
This is why people ring his doorbell and don’t just open the door and walk into his house.
I’m trying to figure out the correlation between having hardwood flooring and keeping your nasty shoes on inside your house
Hardwood floors clean very easily, and socks on hardwood are slippery. So why not just wear shoes indoors?
I guess I can’t get over the fact of wearing shoes I’d go on the subway with or to the gym and just walk into my living room to chill
Mfs will walk around outside barefoot then come back in and hop in bed and not understand what the problem is
i’ll take a step further. you a nasty foot ass mf if you’re wearing open toed shoes outside. all that dirt and shit still getting on the dogs and under foot. the only difference is you can walk on rocks a little easier than barefoot
Damn I wonder if people even think about this!!!
Man people out here working all day and not taking showers/baths and jumping into the bed
What does it matter if you’re cleaning your floors regularly? And you’re picking up all sorts of germs and stuff just being out in the world all over your body. Do you disrobe and take a shower every time you walk in the front door too? Do you even let a dog inside the house at all? Because dogs are bringing in far worse than your shoes.
Obviously don’t walk around in the house if you stepped in shit. But otherwise people over worry about this stuff. We have immune systems and can clean floors easily.
Do you live in a warm climate? Cause this reads like someone who’s never had to deal with salted sidewalks/roads in the winter. It’s extremely visible and it gets everywhere if you track it in.
Cause you’re bringing dirt and other shit from outside into your house.
For the people who wear shoes in the house, at what point do you take your shoes off? When you go to bed? Do you just leave dirty shoes by your bedside or what?
I have hardwood floors and have never once slipped wearing socks on them. Plus i usually take off my socks if Im not going back out anyways. Shoes in the house to me is dumb as hell.
They should invent a kind of shoe you can wear just inside the house. Perhaps it would slip on and off easily.
Because that’s gross. Do you wear shoes on the couch too?
Do you have a hardwood couch?
Psychopaths that walk around their house in outdoor shoes probably do.
And sarcasm aside, do they just take off their shoes in front of the couch and then put them back on? If you have kids and get up every 30 seconds is that just a constant loop?
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody’s couch like it’s something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that. …Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie’s couch
Because it’s less comfortable to wear shoes?
Im understanding it as this man loves wearing shoes so much that its his default mode of comfort, and the wood floors enable that at home.
I think the logic is, if your shoes track something in, it’s easy to wipe hardwood vs if you got something in carpet.
What he’s not really accounting for is all the germs you bring in with shoes. No one is cleaning their floors after every time you walk on them so it’s kind of a wild take
Homie the world is awash in bacteria, your phone, your keyboard, paper money, etc., and anyway were you planning to eat off the floor later? Putting your muddy shoes on the couch OK that’s dumb, I’m with you guys, but “germs on the floor from the outside”, huh?
Brother, call me crazy but I’m really not tryna track in other dudes piss residue into my house because I used a public bathroom that day. I’d just rather not. As minuscule as it might be.
So you don’t take your shoes off and it’s all good because you’re not eating on the floor, but your gf walks around and brings that outside bacteria from you in bed or on the couch. It’s just so easy to take off shoes to avoid it altogether.
Have you ever stood at a urinal?
Or walked down a street with dog and/or human shit anywhere?
He never heardtell of house shoes???
In like 95% of timelines Joe Mazzulla is a sociopath
So that’s cool we’re in one of the few where he’s an elite basketball coach instead
It’s like that old Bill Burr joke. “If Lance Armstrong wasn’t riding a bike he’d be pouring chemicals in rivers.”
Technically if Armstrong disposed of his urine samples in a river to avoid the doping agencies, he’d be dumping chemicals in the river
He’s fully lost it. That being said I think this solidifies the C’s as real contenders
Brad Stevens bro what 😂
Bro speaking coach speak when talking about house rules. Dude can’t shut it off
the man is a VISIONARY. imagine having this guy in your office, NOT EVEN IN THE FRONT ROW OF COACHES, and STILL being like “that’s our guy”. incredibly based.
JB mom like mine
I said Lue might be the NBA Tomlin. But it maybe Mazzula for the lines he says.
I think of Joe more like an Evil Jim Harbaugh
Jim has had some antics too. Haha
Joe isn’t evil, he’s chaotic neutral
You can’t convince me Joe Mazzulla isn’t the exact kind of gun owner you should knock or ring the doorbell for.
He wants someone to give him a reason
I agree with Joe. I don’t like when people come by uninvited. And someone knocking or ringing the bell is very jarring.
If I invite people over I am expecting them and usually make clear that they are welcome to come in by doing something like leaving the front door open with just the storm door shut or opening the garage or side gate and letting them know to just come in.
If I’m not expecting someone I don’t usually open the door at all.
Yeah if you walk into my house without warning my dog is going to bite you. I might know you’re coming, but Odin doesn’t.
And someone knocking or ringing the bell is very jarring.
What are you a startled bird
I don’t care if I’m invited to the party. I don’t care if you know I’m here. I’m ringing the bell.
Don’t ring the doorbell is psychopath behavior, like you going to end up in his man basement
There absolutely are people buried under the Mazzulla house.
They shouldn’t have rang the doorbell.
Sounds like you can just let yourself in and investigate for yourself
Nuh-uh, seen that movie before.
People you know that you expect coming over ringing and knocking on the door is so annoying haha
For sure. Unless there’s a pet to wrangle or whatever.
Shoes on in the house is crazy ngl
So if people you know should just open the door and people you don’t know shouldn’t even approach your house, wtf is the point of a doorbell?
Uber eats
Exactly! I’d love to disconnect mine lol.
Yooooo can Boston fire him so my team can have him as our coach and I can root for him? This guy is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
No
My friends are like this. When I go to their house I would always ring the doorbell and my friend one day was just like “bro just come in it’s annoying af having to come get the door” and so now when I go over there I just…walk in. And it’s weird every time
My friends and I have always done like a little tap tap courtesy knock before opening the door. At least that way it doesn’t feel like you’re bursting in like Kramer.
Nah, triple knock, Sheldon Style
[Charania] Joe Mazzulla to play Cato in the next Pink Panther movie
JB shit is funny! His mom 😜
House at 65 degrees is crazy.
? Lower or higher? Mine is set at 64 most days
yeah 65 is a good temp imo lol. might go up or down a bit depending on the weather but 65 is pleasant
69 is perfect.
65 is freezing to me
Maybe because I have radiator heating? I don’t know, I think my upbringing of never touching the thermostat and instead putting on a sweatshirt has stuck with me.
66⁄67 is fine any more is hot to me
Bro has that West Linn money, they could afford those 65⁰ summers
Joe, just remove your doorbell.
So he keeps his front door unlocked?
All depends on where you live. I don’t lock my house unless I’m heading out for vacation.
I hate when people ring my doorbell. 9⁄10 I’m not answering it. If you know me then you will tell me you’re coming over and I’ll answer the door or I will leave it unlocked.
Neemi unthaw the chicken is hilarious and so real
Joe is the WEIRDEST dude.
This is very normal in nice neighborhoods. It’s not weird at all considering that Mazzula is, in fact, rich.
In safe & upper-middle-class to rich neighborhoods, the only people ringing the doorbell are sketchy door-to-door salesmen. Friends/family just walk in. Nobody else is welcome. It’s a pain in the ass to walk across big houses to open the front door anyway & because only sketchy people use the doorbell, it becomes a stressor of sorts.
I know of at least one very high profile NBA player who basically operates like this when he’s home, but I also know MANY “normal” upper middle class/rich families that operate like this as well.
eh it’s not entirely class based but also cultural. america is just a pretty paranoid place (esp now, but before too).
Nah, you better ring that doorbell even if you know me otherwise, you fall pay The Full Monty.
Does he have any daughters? Because man, dating one and showing up at the house and meeting dad the first time would be a fucking stressful experience
No he has two sons
Shit, TIL I’m a psychopath too. If I’ve invited you to my house it’s because I consider you family and I’m obviously expecting you. Come in.
There’s nothing more annoying than hosting a party and needing to open the unlocked door every 5 minutes to greet someone. Get your ass in here.
I also really love company tho. There’s times where I wouldn’t like if someone just popped in unexpected but there’s also a part of me that would love it. Kinda like an old sitcom when characters just show up.
Very relatable if you have dogs at home
Why would you knock 😂
Yes he wants to feed the wolf
I’d love to see an interview between Mazzulla and Gary Busey
That was hilarious!
Weirdo
this dudes brain is in backwards
I have to assume Joe Mazzulla is worried about vampires.
lmfao Mazulla is deeply autistic
I love how they keep cutting back to him and he’s still talking about the same thing.
Having shoes inside is one of those American things that I thought people joked about. It is fucking crazy to me that you walk around in dirty ass cities, sidewalks, subways, supermarkets etc. And then you walk around in your house in the same shoes? It is god damn disgusting. I have never been to another country that does it except America.
Every time I see Mazulla in an interview of this type, his answers continue to paint him as a very unpleasant person to be around.
He reminds me of an ex of mine. Also likely autistic and very unpleasant (not saying those are mutually inclusive).
This dude is autistic as hell lol. He’ll probably alienate somebody sooner or later with his intensity but for now it’s a fucking pleasure to have him. Not many people have his level of manic motivation
Just a thought for you shoes in the house believers. Remember those sticky ass urinal floors you walk through when taking a piss? Want that in your house?
So that if something ever happens, he can testify that the guy barged in.
“Just open the door so i can assault you legally because you’re entering my property”
Do not open the door if you know me. Ring the door bell or knock.
Mazulla looks and comports himself as if he spends 24⁄7 snorting basketball. The only reason he gets a haircut or shaves is to keep his bosses off his ass
I heard he watched Sinners multiple times. That’s why he won’t invite anyone in. Just come in.
my grandpa was a Vietnam vet who was more than a little crazy. he used to sit in his living room until 4am every night with his gun next to him and his front door wide open.
idk why that just popped in my mind just now
Do you guys think the cops will ring the door bell at Joe’s house?
Im just gonna walk in his house, see what happens, could be the end of me
Why have a doorbell then, Joe?
You don’t want people you don’t know to ring the bell.
You don’t want people you know to ring the bell.
The “Ooh” @ Queta saying he had to thaw out the chicken like that’s not a regular ask of a parent at work when you get off school just did something to me
Bleh shoes indoors is gross, unless you have indoors only shoes
Sometimes I wonder if Mazzulla plays up the weird persona, but this rule is so bizarre, how could anyone make it up.
It doesn’t even compute to me that my door would be unlocked so a friend or family member could just stroll on in.
This is the complaint of a man with a house thats too big haha
I too hate when people ring the doorbell but I also don’t want them to come into my house.
Bro is definitely autistic in the best way
Joe just kept going on but for the flop thing, if he’s a true new englander you gotta have some indoor shoes. Some moccasins or slides that get left at the minis of the door and the shoes are in the garage or carried out if they are left inside, but you can’t put them on unless it’s in the laundry room that’s connected to the garage or directly to outside. But yeah joe has probably “detained” a delivery driver or two for not knowing why they were ringing his doorbell
He’s like some sort of inverse Larry David
Man that JB line about his mom being about her hahahaha
Ain’t nobody walking into the Mazzula household unannounced. It’s not for their sake but for the visitor’s.
Coach sound like my Grandma
Nasty
Unthaw the chicken? So freeze it?
Brown, has mama trauma. Sounds like a good caring mom, dishes had to be done and chicken/beef/fish thawed for me.
Bro getting a lifetime ban from Japan for this take
I thought for the longest time that all this mazzulla stuff was just a bit but this dude is really just a sicko
Joe’s mind never sleeps
buddy. get shoes just for indoors at home
savage thumbnail work
AND get blasted
